Darren Watkins Jr., better known by his online alias IShowSpeed or simply Speed, is an American YouTuber, streamer, rapper, and internet personality.
He was born on January 21, 2005, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is currently 18 years old.
IShowSpeed is known for his variety livestreams, in which he primarily plays video games, including Roblox, Fortnite, and FIFA.
IShowSpeed’s rise to fame wasn’t due to an affiliation with content houses or gaming organizations like Sway House or FaZe Clan.
Nor did he explode, in terms of popularity, on any other platform like Vine (now discontinued) or TikTok.
He started uploading gaming-related videos on YouTube around the middle of 2019, and his uploads were often without commentary or face cams.
The games usually tended to be NBA 2K, WWE 2K, or Fortnite. His set-up wasn’t anything extraordinary either, with him streaming videos in lower resolution.
Despite this, IShowSpeed’s channel has gained over 18.1 million subscribers and 1.5 billion total views as of June 25, 2023.
He has also signed with Warner Records and has released several rap songs.
However, IShowSpeed’s rise to fame has not been without controversy.
He has been accused of copyright abuse on YouTube, and in December 2022, he was caught up in a controversy over bigoted comments that surfaced.
Nonetheless, IShowSpeed continues to stream regularly on YouTube, where he has amassed over eight million followers.
