IShowSpeed Declares Nigerian Jollof Rice the Best Worldwide

American streamer Darren Jason Watkins Jr., popularly known as IShowSpeed, has described Nigerian jollof rice as the best in the world.

The remark was made on Wednesday during his livestream in Lagos, where he weighed in on the long-running debate over which African country produces the best jollof rice.

The discussion followed his arrival in Nigeria from Senegal, where he had earlier streamed the country’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophy parade.

During the livestream, IShowSpeed compared Nigerian and Senegalese jollof rice based on his recent experience tasting both dishes.

“Nigerian jollof rice is good. It tastes better than Senegal jollof rice. I think I would have to go with Nigeria in terms of which country has the best jollof rice,” he said.

His comments quickly drew reactions online, adding fresh fuel to the popular culinary rivalry across West Africa.
