YouTube sensation embarks on “Speed Does Africa,” livestreaming across 20 countries
Internet superstar IShowSpeed, born Darren Jason Watkins Jr., has officially kicked off one of the most ambitious creator projects of his career with his “Speed Does Africa” tour — a 28-day livestream journey traversing 20 African countries. The 20-year-old content creator, known for his high-energy antics on YouTube and Twitch, began the tour on December 29, 2025, in Angola, and immediately delivered viral moments that have fans worldwide tuning in daily.
From chaotic 1v100 football matches with local children to lively cultural exchanges, Speed’s Angola kickoff set the tone for a continent-wide spectacle that blends travel, community engagement, and unpredictable entertainment. Reality Tea As the tour moves southward, his Cape Town stop featured an electrifying New Year’s Eve livestream celebration that drew thousands of viewers and saw Speed exploring local food, traditions, and fan interactions with genuine enthusiasm.
Speed’s approach to the tour emphasizes authentic fan connection rather than celebrity meetups, a strategy that has been applauded by local hosts and fans alike. Stops confirmed or expected include Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, and South Africa, among others, making this journey one of the most expansive creator-led explorations of Africa ever attempted.
As Speed continues his travels, his livestreams offer an unscripted glimpse into diverse cultures, spontaneous challenges, and heartfelt moments across the African continent — proving that “Speed Does Africa” is more than just a tour, it’s a global cultural event.
