The Digest:

Nigerians on social media are reacting critically to an interview between content creator Egungun of Lagos and American streamer iShowSpeed during his visit to Lagos. During the interaction, Egungun asked Speed his age, to which he replied “21,” before commenting that he looked “healthy and strong.” Many users have labeled the questions as superficial and cringeworthy, with some suggesting Egungun’s content typically focuses on interviewing women with large buttocks, leaving him unprepared for meaningful conversation.

  • It underscores the growing expectation for Nigerian creators to elevate interview quality and preparation.
  • The backlash may influence how local influencers approach high-profile interactions in the future.
