“IShowSpeed, I beg. Yesterday, when you tried to greet me, I did not see you at the ringside; you know I was performing. You came to Ghana, and I am a great superstar here.
“So if you come to Ghana, I have to make you happy. So I apologize, begging you in the name of God to forget everything. I did not know that you greeted me,” he shared in a video on social media.
Bukom Banku was one of the personalities who made IShowSpeed’s visit to the boxing arena entertaining and successful, playing a significant role in thrilling the crowd and promoting boxing.
