Popular streamer IShowSpeed found himself stunned and confused yet again during his highly publicised Africa tour, this time in Kenya. The cause of his bewilderment was the unexpected appearance of a familiar and controversial figure: the stream sniper known as White Speed. A viral clip from the January 11, 2026, livestream captured the moment Speed was visibly at a loss for words, creating a wave of reactions across social media.
Chaos in Nairobi: The Viral Confrontation
The incident took place in Nairobi, where IShowSpeed was broadcasting live as part of his "Speed Does Africa" tour. The tour has drawn massive crowds and online attention across the continent. His Nairobi session alone attracted over 200,000 concurrent live viewers and led to significant traffic disruptions as fans flooded the streets to catch a glimpse of the internet personality.
Amidst the energetic fan engagement, the situation took a chaotic turn. White Speed, who also goes by the online aliases Gooonki or Tiki Wackowski, appeared suddenly. This was despite explicit prior warnings from Speed's management team for him to stop following the streamer. Speed's reaction was one of pure shock and awkward silence, a moment that was quickly clipped and spread virally.
Who is White Speed and Why is He Controversial?
White Speed first gained notoriety during IShowSpeed's earlier stops in South Africa. He is known for meticulously mimicking Speed's mannerisms, clothing style, and facial expressions, often popping up unannounced during public streams. According to past statements captured on video, White Speed has claimed to have spent all his money travelling solely to follow Speed to various locations.
His actions have split the online community. While some viewers find the mimicry and persistence hilariously entertaining, others view it as concerning and invasive behaviour that crosses boundaries. A past extreme incident involved White Speed hanging from a building in South Africa, which prompted security intervention.
Reactions and the Unpredictable Nature of Live Streaming
During the Kenya stream, IShowSpeed was reportedly advised to steer clear of White Speed. He ultimately did not engage directly, but his dumbfounded expression said it all. The audience's reaction was a mix of amusement at the absurdity of the situation and support for Speed's attempts to maintain control over the event.
This episode underscores the inherent risks and unpredictability of large-scale public livestreams, where a streamer's location and actions are easily tracked by followers, both friendly and otherwise. The event added an unplanned, dramatic twist to a tour already known for its high energy and fan-driven chaos.
As IShowSpeed continues his journey across Africa, the lingering question is whether White Speed will make another appearance. The Kenya incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that come with such immense online fame and real-world visibility. For now, it remains another unforgettable chapter in Speed's eventful African adventure.
