Nollywood actor Charles Awurum has strongly criticised popular American streamer IShowSpeed following his recent visit to Nigeria.
In a viral outburst, Awurum accused the internet personality of disrespecting Nigeria and portraying Lagos in a negative light. He also alleged that IShowSpeed disrespected Nigerian content creator Peller during his stay in the country.
Expressing his anger, the veteran actor questioned the streamer’s status and wealth, dismissing him as insignificant. “Who do you think you are? You’re a nobody. How much do you even have? I can pay your net worth,” Awurum said.
He further warned IShowSpeed to be mindful of his actions and statements, stating that Nigeria’s image should not be undermined for content or clout. According to Awurum, such behaviour is unacceptable and damaging, especially coming from a foreign influencer with a large global audience.
“This is a warning to you,” the actor added, emphasizing that Nigeria and its people deserve respect.
The comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, See some of them below:

There are certain topics and conversations you shouldn’t put your mouth if you reach certain age in life. It is cringy watching this old man with his mouth odor talking about a 21yo who is busy living and enjoying his best life.

Charles Awurum has nothing to say. The boy is yet to make any comment about Nigeria. It’s Nigerians who are making the comments, not him. Let’s wait till he makes his own comment.

This is crazy fr Crash one Benz and still bounce back with another ₦300M one? That’s real confidence. Nigerians don’t stay down for long. You may not like it, but you have to respect the hustle .
