IShowSpeed, the American streamer, is set to receive a Ghanaian passport following his recent visit to the West African country.

On December 29, the YouTuber kicked off a 28-day livestream tour across the African continent titled ‘Speed Does Africa’.

The project saw him visit several African countries, spotlighting the continent’s culture, people and landscapes for his global audience, with Ghana being one of his stops.

In a post via his X page, Sam Ablakwa, Ghana’s foreign minister, announced that his office had approved a Ghanaian passport for Speed, describing him as a “worthy ambassador”.

He added that the passport was granted after it was confirmed that the streamer had “irrefutable ties” to Ghana.

The minister enjoined Speed to keep making both Ghana and Africa “proud”.

“@wode_maya following our discussions and subsequent confirmation of the irrefutable ties of IShowSpeed to Ghana, I am pleased to inform you and our compatriots that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has approved the issuance of a Ghanaian Passport to IShowSpeed,” he wrote.

“Keep making our great nation Ghana, and our beloved African continent proud. Ghana celebrates you both — you remain our worthy ambassadors, and we are ever so delighted to have granted you a diplomatic passport last year. For God, Country & Continent.”

The YouTuber landed in Lagos on January 21. The visit was marked by a significant milestone, as he celebrated reaching 50 million subscribers on his 21st birthday while in the city.
