Some people think negativity is the only way to trend.
iShowSpeed proved them wrong.

A lot of creators believe the only content that works is to SHAME AFRICA

Yes, that content gets likes.

But it also trains you to hate your own home.

iShowSpeed came to Africa, including Zimbabwe.

He even went went to Mbare.

notice what he did NOT do:

He didn’t say Mbare is dirty and it’s dangerous.
He didn’t insult our music or even talk down on Africa.

No pity content.
No “Africa is suffering” narrative.
No superiority tone.

he showed up with energy, curiosity, and respect.

And the internet went crazy.

Here’s the lesson many creators are missing:

Negativity is the easiest content.
That’s why everyone uses it.

But…
People are tired of being insulted.
People want to feel proud.
People want joy, not lectures.

He didn’t come to expose Africa.
He came to experience Africa.

That’s one of the reasons he trended globally.

Hard truth for African creators

Sometimes it’s not the algorithm.

Sometimes jus need to respect your own environment

We need to understand that things have changed, suffering is NOT the only story the world needs to hear

We need to stop believing Africans only trend when embarrassed

iShowSpeed proved something important:

Africa can trend without being degraded.

You don’t need to hate your country or continent to be relevant.
You don’t need negativity to win attention.

In this world and with this generation, a better perspective travels further.

$410m surge lifts Dangote net worth to $30.4bn

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has started 2026 with a $410 million increase in his fortune, taking his net worth to $30.4 billion and cementing his position as the continent’s only billionaire above the $30 billion mark.

The gains were driven largely by Dangote Cement, whose shares are up 4.37% so far this year on the Nigerian Exchange.

The cement maker nearly tripled profit to ₦743.3 billion ($514.5 million) in the first nine months of 2025, underlining strong investor confidence in the wider Dangote Group, which also has interests in sugar, salt and energy.

Early 2026 gains reflect continued reinvestment and expansion across African markets, keeping investor focus firmly on Dangote’s manufacturing-led empire.
