Foreign Affairs Minister approves issuance of Ghanaian Passport to IShowSpeed

“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 of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced.

In a post on social media on Tuesday [Jan 27, 2026], Mr Ablakwa indicated that following discussions with YouTuber Wodemaya, 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.”

“Keep making our great nation Ghana, and our beloved African continent proud.
Ghana celebrates you both — you remain our worthy ambassadors, and we are ever so delighted to have granted you a diplomatic passport last year,” the Minister added.

The announcement followed IShowSpeed’s visit to Ghana and a livestream to his over 50 million followers last Monday.
