A young Nigerian lady has taken to social media to recount her unexpected encounter with popular American livestreamer, IShowSpeed, after repeatedly recording him during his recent visit to Nigeria.
The lady’s story has since stirred reactions online, as many fans expressed surprise at how the streamer noticed her despite the large crowd around him.
As earlier reported by GistReel, IShowSpeed recently arrived in Nigeria as part of his Africa tour.[/b]
The energetic content creator marked his 21st birthday during the trip and also celebrated reaching a massive milestone of 50 million subscribers on YouTube, all while livestreaming from Lagos.
IShowSpeed’s Eventful Visit to Nigeria
During his stay, IShowSpeed toured several iconic locations across Lagos, including Balogun Market, Freedom Park, and the Nike Art Gallery.
He immersed himself in Nigerian culture, interacting with locals and sampling popular dishes such as jollof rice and Nigerian-style pizza, reactions which quickly went viral online.
The livestreams attracted huge crowds, tight security, and widespread attention from fans and content creators hoping to get his attention.
Lady Narrates Her Encounter With IShowSpeed
Sharing her experience on TikTok, the lady identified as @symplyperry explained how her interaction with the streamer unfolded over three separate recordings.
According to her, during the first time she filmed him, IShowSpeed simply walked past and gave her a long stare, which she initially brushed off.
On the second occasion, however, the streamer reportedly noticed her again, walked closer to her phone, and smiled directly at the camera.
The moment that shocked her the most came during the third recording, when IShowSpeed allegedly walked up to her, addressed her directly, and complimented her appearance.
Quoting what happened, she wrote: “This is the third time you’re filming me and he called me beautiful.”
Her revelation quickly gained traction online, with many users reacting to the confidence of the streamer and the surprise encounter.
Peller Blocked During IShowSpeed’s Lagos Visit
Meanwhile, the lady’s experience contrasts sharply with that of Nigerian streamer Peller, who was reportedly blocked by IShowSpeed’s security team during the same visit.
Peller made several attempts to get close to the American streamer, including chasing his convoy and even riding a horse through traffic, but was repeatedly bounced by security operatives.
The incidents sparked mixed reactions online, with some sympathising with Peller and others criticising his approach.
In response to the backlash, IShowSpeed later clarified that his Africa tour was not centered on influencer collaborations.
He explained that the goal of the trip was to spotlight African culture, street talent, and everyday people rather than engage with already-established creators.
