American streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. met Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, and his children during the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, 2026.
Footage from IShowSpeed’s livestream shows Seyi Tinubu in a Spain jersey seated in a VIP box with his children and family. While Speed was streaming, an unidentified man who appeared with Seyi informed the streamer of the President’s son’s presence.
Speed then greeted the family, posed for photos with the children, and shook hands with Seyi, who told him, “It is nice meeting you.”
In his usual playful manner, IShowSpeed joked with the kids, saying, “Tell your dad to get me a Nigerian passport!” before resuming the livestream.
The encounter follows IShowSpeed’s warmly received visit to Nigeria earlier this year. The 21-year-old spent part of his 28-day “Speed Does Africa” tour in Lagos, livestreaming his experiences to millions of viewers.
During the visit, he toured Lagos Island, Freedom Park, Nike Art Gallery and other landmarks, met celebrities, including Zlatan Ibile and Davido, and celebrated his birthday in Nigeria.
The visit also coincided with Speed becoming the first Black content creator to surpass 50 million YouTube subscribers.
His latest interaction with Seyi Tinubu comes amid his continued popularity in Africa following tours across several countries, including Angola, Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria.
