iShowSpeed Vows to Buy a House in Africa.
Popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber Darren Jason Watkins Jr, better known as iShowSpeed, has announced his plan to purchase a home in Africa, deeply touched by the incredible warmth and support he has received during his ongoing 28-day multi-country tour across the continent.
Now in his seventh country, Speed made the heartfelt declaration on Saturday, January 10, 2026, during a public appearance in Zambia, where hundreds of fans flooded the streets to welcome and cheer for him.“Chat, I will get myself a house in Africa one day, y’all; I will get a house here for real. So I will pick one country at the end of this tour, and that’s where I will buy a house,” he told the excited crowd.
The streamer explained that the overwhelming, genuine affection from African fans has left an unforgettable mark on him. He emphasized that throughout the entire tour, he has not visited a single place where he felt unwelcome or out of place.
Speed also shared his growing admiration for African culture, particularly highlighting the thrill of safaris and the strong sense of belonging he has experienced.
“Just like I did in the USA, and I will buy a house there, the love is really here in Africa; I can feel it, since I started the African tour, I have not been anywhere where I felt like I do not belong here, and I love a lot of things, like the safaris and such,” he added.
The announcement underscores the profound impact the African leg of his tour has had on the global content creator, as he continues to connect with fans in an unprecedented way across the continent.
