As part of IShowSpeed’s Africa tour, he visited Ghana on January 26, 2026, to experience the country’s culture, tourism, among others.

The American streamer began his visit at the Asenema Waterfalls in Akropong, Eastern Region, where Ghanaian YouTuber Wode Maya led him through the tour.

IShowSpeed later moved from Akropong to Accra in a helicopter to continue the stream, but Wode Maya disclosed that he deliberately refused to join the chopper that transported the streamer.

In an interview with Sammykay Media on January 29, 2026, Wode Maya explained that he rather chose to return from Akropong to Accra in a car convoy.

Wode Maya explained: “You just saw what happened in Ghana,” believed to be a reference to the August 6, 2025, helicopter crash.

He added, “Everything you saw at the palace was a success. I didn’t want to be in a chopper so I took a car to Accra. You saw what happened in Ghana. Personal preference, I just wanted to be on the road.”
