On Dec. 29, 2025, a famous YouTube streamer, Darren Jaso, popularly known as IShowSpeed, started his 28-day tour<\/a> across African countries. As part of his adventure, on Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026, he landed in Lagos State, Nigeria, where he celebrated his 21st birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his visit to Nigeria, IShowSpeed declined to interact with Peller and clarified<\/a> that his visit to Africa was intended to explore culture and talent, not to network with influencers or streamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Nigeria, the streamer travelled to Ghana<\/a> to continue his tour. Following IShowSpeed\u2019s visit to Ghana, a Ghana Facebook page, \u201cMx24 TV<\/a>,\u201d on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026, shared a video<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) claiming that Peller has just landed in Ghana to stream with the 21-year-old American YouTuber after several failed attempts during his visit to Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post reads, \u201cPeller isn’t giving up! He has reportedly arrived in Ghana to stream after several failed attempts to meet IShowSpeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026, the Facebook video has generated over 1,500 likes, 62 reposts, 9 comments, and 11 bookmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar videos resurfaced on Facebook here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>, and on X (here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the comment section, some users who believed the post accused him of chasing clout, while others expressed doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otu Issac<\/a> claimed, \u201cHe is taking advantage of the trend, mind games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another user, Teda Teda<\/a>, reinforced, “Smart, so that he can start his own stream while chasing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This was the time he was invited by Shatta Wale,” Supa Marcelo<\/a> wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the massive attention IShowSpeed\u2019s tour across Africa has generated online, and the comment questioning the claim’s veracity, DUBAWA decided to verify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis of the video\u2019s screenshots using a Google Reverse Image search led us to an identical clip shared on TikTok<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caption of the TikTok video shared by CRD Africa linked the footage to Peller’s 2025 visit to Ghana to promote Shatta Wale’s ride-hailing service, Shaxi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Nigerian TikTok star Peller lands in Ghana to promote Shatta Wale’s ride-hailing service, Shaxi,” the TikTok post caption read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreso, a similar video also appeared on Facebook<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We conducted a keyword search and found a Ghana Web<\/a> article detailing Peller\u2019s visit to Ghana. The report also revealed that Shatta Wale took Peller on an exclusive tour of his luxurious $2.5 million Trasacco estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found similar reports confirming Peller’s 2025 visit to Ghana here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, we checked through the reggae dancehall artist\u2019s social media account for posts related to Peller’s visit to Ghana. We came across a Facebook<\/a> post in April 2025, welcoming Peller to Ghana, and another Instagram<\/a> post appreciating Peller for visiting Ghana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found no recent posts or reports validating Peller’s visit to stream with IShowSpeed in Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA’s investigation reveals that the video shared on Facebook was recorded in 2025 during Peller’s visit to Ghana to promote Shatta Wale’s ride-hailing service, Shaxi. The claim that Peller arrived in Ghana to stream with IShowSpeed is false.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
