IShowSpeed tops Twitch and YouTube at the same time with viral Turkey livestream
During a recent theme park adventure in Turkey, the entertainer pulled in a peak of over 437,000 viewers on YouTube and 48,000 on Twitch, making him the most-watched streamer on both platforms at the same time.
Known for his global travel vlogs, high-energy antics, and massive online presence, Speed's latest multistream captured a viral moment when he passed out on a roller coaster while streaming. The intense ride became the highlight of his Turkey livestream and fueled a huge spike in real-time viewership across platforms.

Although Twitch had previously banned Speed indefinitely, the restriction has since been lifted. With Twitch now allowing multi-platform streaming, Speed's return to the platform was met with overwhelming support — even if his Twitch audience remains smaller than his massive YouTube base.
Despite major esports events like LoL MSI wrapping up, Speed's stream proved powerful enough to outdraw other creators, showcasing his influence. His content ranged from roller coasters and water slides to chaotic amusement park stunts — blending travel, comedy, and thrill-seeking into one unmissable broadcast.
Speed's dominance on both YouTube and Twitch reflects the growing trend of creators embracing multi-streaming to reach broader audiences. His ability to generate viral moments and attract hundreds of thousands of viewers in real time highlights why he's one of the most influential streamers in the world.

Ishowspeed falls for CZN Burak's prank in Turkey
IShowSpeed has become the centre of online discussion after being pranked by a Turkish waiter during his European tour. The streamer, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr., was visiting Turkey when he experienced the popular local 'spilling prank' often performed on tourists. The prank involves a server pretending to spill hot tea or food on a customer, causing panic, only for the customer to realise that the bowls and cups are either empty or attached to the tray. During his visit, IShowSpeed was approached by a waiter holding two steaming kettles. The server then pretended to drop one of the kettles on Speed, prompting him to jump out of his seat in alarm. Realising the kettles were empty, Speed appeared frustrated and shouted at the waiter to 'stop f*cking playing' while others at the scene laughed, including the server and surrounding customers. The moment was captured on video and quickly circulated across social media platforms. 🚨| WATCH: Burak just pulled the BIGGEST JOKE on Speed 😭😭😭🇹🇷 Burak, Speed'e şimdiye kadarki EN BÜYÜK ŞAKAYI yaptı 😭😭😭🇹🇷 — Speedy HQ (@IShowSpeedHQ) July 13, 2025 Reactions to the incident were mixed. Some viewers criticised Speed's reaction, labelling it as exaggerated, with one user stating, 'It's sad how people like Speed make themselves like clowns for a few clicks.' Others focused on his quick reflexes, commenting, 'Now I know why he's called Speed,' and 'That is totally cool to see iSpeed's speed.' The prank took place during IShowSpeed's Europe Tour Part 2, which began on July 7 and will include stops in several countries such as Bosnia, Estonia, Poland, and Turkey. The tour also marks Speed's return to Twitch after years away from the platform, with live broadcasts available on both Twitch and YouTube for viewers to follow his travels.

Haru Urara wins first race over a decade after retirement, while Umamusume renews interest
Haru Urara, the Japanese racehorse known for never winning during her career, has won her first race in a competition for retired horses, more than a decade after her retirement. The horse, aged 23 at the time, achieved this result 15 years after her last official race, following renewed interest in her story due to the game Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Umamusume, which features characters based on real-life racehorses, has contributed to Haru Urara's story reaching new audiences. The game's Western release has seen interest from Twitch streamers and social media discussions, and it has been noted by players for reviving the stories of real horses featured in the game. In Umamusume, players have found ways to train Haru Urara's character in-game to succeed despite her low stats, reflecting her real-life underdog reputation. According to fans, Haru Urara became a symbol of persistence, with people admiring her continued participation in races despite not winning. The interest generated by Umamusume led Haru Urara's trainers to enter her into a race specifically for retired racehorses, where she won on May 18 2019. This race, initially unknown to many, was brought to wider attention years later by Japanese fans sharing her story. Umamusume has existed in Japan since 2018, including an anime adaptation featuring Haru Urara in its supporting cast. Following the news of Haru Urara's win, her owners have made it possible for fans to send gifts to celebrate her achievement.
