Nollywood actor Kunle Remi has slammed IShowSpeed’s Nigeria stop as the worst experience on his African tour. Remi expressed disappointment that Lagos was portrayed focusing on nightlife, fake drinks, and begging, rather than showcasing Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage. He wrote on Instagram, “After watching IShowSpeed’s journey so far, Nigeria is the worst on my own list. We just really stripped Lagos naked… Seems like we’ve lost the essence of culture. Our truth! All we have is fake drinks, club & beggy beggy skills”.
Remi’s comments highlight concerns that international portrayals of Nigeria often emphasize entertainment and party culture, rather than the country’s rich heritage and social realities. IShowSpeed’s visit to Nigeria was part of his 28-day “Speed Does Africa” tour, which aimed to showcase Africa’s culture, people, and landscapes to a global audience.
