Nollywood Star Kunle Remi Sparks Fierce Debate: Was Nigeria the "Worst" Stop on IShowSpeed's Epic African Tour?

Kunle Remi calls Nigeria IShowSpeed's worst African tour stop, sparking debate on culture vs nightlife in Lagos.

In a bold Instagram story that has ignited nationwide conversations, acclaimed Nollywood actor Kunle Remi ranked Nigeria as the worst destination on American streaming sensation IShowSpeed's 28-day African tour.

Remi didn't mince words, lamenting that Speed's chaotic Lagos visit exposed a Nigeria that has "lost the essence of culture" — overshadowed by fake alcoholic drinks, an all-consuming club and nightlife scene, and rampant street begging instead of authentic heritage and truth.

"After watching IShowSpeed’s journey so far, Nigeria is the worst on my own list. We just really stripped Lagos naked... Seems like we have lost the essence of culture, our truth."

The viral Lagos moments — from massive crowds swarming Speed to birthday celebrations and high-energy street chaos — thrilled millions globally, yet Remi's critique struck a nerve. Supporters praised his honesty about missed opportunities to showcase Nigeria's deeper cultural riches, while others accused him of unfairly dragging the nation amid the genuine excitement Speed's visit generated.

The controversy exploded across media headlines, with outlets like Graphic Online, TheCable, and more framing it as Remi "slamming" or "blasting" Nigeria's portrayal.

At Nollywood Spotlight, we're diving deep into this cultural flashpoint: What does it reveal about Nigeria's global image? How should we balance our vibrant modern energy with timeless heritage when the world is watching?

Nollywood Veteran Stanley Amandi at the Heart of a Shocking Coup Allegation!!

Nollywood actor, director & ex-AGN chairman entangled in alleged 2025 coup plot against Tinubu.

From commanding roles on screen to a real-life national security storm, Stanley Kingsley Amandi (aka Stan K. Amandi) has long been a respected figure in Nollywood. The Enugu-born actor, director, producer, and former Chairman of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Enugu State chapter has built an impressive career with credits in films like The Album, Tiger King, Cornerstone, and Once Upon a Dream. Known for his authoritative on-screen presence and behind-the-camera talent, Amandi has mentored rising stars and championed actors' rights throughout his journey.

But in early 2026, his name took a dramatic turn. Reports from Premium Times, Punch, BBC Pidgin, and others revealed that Amandi was arrested in September 2025 alongside military officers in connection with an alleged failed coup plot against President Bola Tinubu's administration. Authorities claim he was recruited as a propagandist to shape public narratives and support the unconstitutional takeover, which reportedly included plans to assassinate top officials including the President, Vice President, Senate President, and Speaker.

The Actors Guild of Nigeria has confirmed his detention (now under the Defence Intelligence Agency) and expressed shock at the allegations, noting they initially believed it was a routine matter. As debates rage online about his role, ethnic implications, and the intersection of celebrity influence with politics, Amandi's story highlights the unpredictable twists that can befall even the most dedicated industry figures.

Dive deeper into Stanley Amandi's remarkable career, the full details of the controversy, and what it means for Nollywood in our latest in-depth newsletter.
