The start of 2023 has been a banger for Youtuber IShowSpeed as he fixed himself a date for his 18th birthday. The content creator made a bold move on Ice Spice as he asked her out for one as a gift. And to everyone’s surprise, hip-hop’s new princess agreed, with her only condition being if Speed was of legal age. So, while Speed geared up for his big day, fans already started ‘shipping’ the couple. 

However, a few days back, Speed landed in a tricky situation as he became a topic of troll for the public. Apparently, the content creator was on a stream alongside Adin Ross where he misinterpreted a foreign donation that instantly became a topic of a joke. After all, none of his followers expected him to make a blunder, as the majority of the time, he joked about such things only to stay in character. However, this time, it felt different. 

Fans baffled after IShowSpeed misinterprets a foreign currency donation 

On January 5, 2023, Darren Watkins Jr, aka IShowSpeed, hosted a youtube stream alongside Adin Ross. It was an hour-and-a-half-long stream that featured the duo chilling with their friends. And while fans enjoyed every bit of it, they were puzzled around the 27th minute.

There, Speed received a million Indonesian Rupiah donation from aqua, a fan belonging to the same country. Looking at this, he started jumping around the room, expressing his excitement to Adin and others. Plus, a kid could be viewed alongside him, who was the first to say it out loud and put Speed in a tricky spot. 

So, just to confirm for it to be true, Adin’s team converted the amount to USD. And to everyone’s surprise, IDR 1 million converted to $64. This sent Speed into a massive rage, and he said, “Why would he lie? Where’s he from, Indonesia? Why would he say it was a million? Oh, come on, man. It’s always Indonesia.” 

Speed’s statements took fans by surprise as they did not expect that from him. After all, the 17-year-old was almost worth a million himself, so nobody thought he would make such a blunder. Nevertheless, we know Speed and his fun nature to entertain fans, so he turned up the mood in seconds.
