Inside NYC’s Jollof Showdown: A Fiery Culinary Clash That Reveals Hidden Cultural Battles
Ogunbowale wasn’t the only first-timer at the event. New York Knicks Star OG Anunoby came to show his support.
“I heard about the event. I thought it’d be pretty cool, so I wanted to come check it out for myself,” Anunoby said. “I’m very proud of my African culture. I grew up in a Nigerian household, and it’s very important to see African representation. It’s very uplifting and cool for everyone to see and be a part of.”
Other guests included Philadelphia 76ers Center Adem Bona, former NBA stars Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Emeka Okafor, and Ty Lawson; rapper Wale; Afrobeats sensation King Promise, Grammy-nominated artist Fridayy, host and executive producer Speedy Morman, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Bozoma St. John — who is also the Chief Marketing Officer for NBC’s On Brand with Jimmy Fallon — and more.
