IShowSpeed Gets Ghanaian Passport After Africa Tour

Ghana has approved the issuance of a Ghanaian passport for American YouTube and livestreaming star IShowSpeed, following the conclusion of his widely followed “Speed Does Africa” tour.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the decision on January 27, 2026, confirming that the passport approval came after discussions with Ghanaian content creator WodeMaya and verification of IShowSpeed’s strong connections to the West African country.

Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa shared the development on social media, stating: “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.”

The minister also praised the streamer and WodeMaya as “worthy ambassadors” of Ghana and Africa, and encouraged them to continue showcasing the continent positively on the global stage.

The approval follows IShowSpeed’s 28-day Africa tour, which spanned 20 countries and included high-profile stops in Ghana, Nigeria and other nations, drawing millions of views across his livestreams and social platforms.
