The ‘Bad Vibes’ hitmaker during a recent interview with BET Amplified, said she enjoys Ghanaian jollof rice, citing the garnishing as the reason for her choice.
The 21-year-old music star when asked the difference, explained that she prefers, “Ghanaian jollof”, adding that “I mean they are both really amazing. I grew up with Nigerian jollof rice. Nigerian jollof is practically called party rice, so people eat it at parties. It is like a celebratory food.”
“The culture around it is that they usually use a big pot to cook it outside, so it kind of burns and it is smoky. So it is smoky jollof rice, that is what it is called. Ghanaian jollof rice has like things inside but for Nigerian jollof, the protein, vegetables are outside if you are having anything else. So it is two different vibes,”she stressed.
