The centuries-old Jollof Wars have a new champion, and his name is Darren Watkins Sr. The father of global streaming sensation iShowSpeed has officially crowned Nigerian Jollof superior after a head-to-head taste test during the family’s historic 28-day African tour.
In a viral clip, Watkins Sr. sampled both rival dishes and delivered a decisive verdict. Nigerian Jollof earned praise for its depth, which he likened to a “jambalaya feel.” Ghanaian Jollof, while acknowledged, simply could not compete.
The ruling completes a clean sweep for the Watkins family. Throughout his tour, iShowSpeed consistently ranked Nigeria’s version above competitors from Senegal, Liberia, and Ghana.
Even a massive, record-sized pot prepared in Accra specifically to win him over failed to change the outcome.
In a moment now etched in internet lore, Speed responded to the Ghanaian offering by backflipping directly into the giant pot—yet still maintained that “Naija no dey carry last.”
