IShowSpeed went crazy as his idol and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo gave him a ‘Shoutout’ in the latest Manchester United X Adidas commercial. The YouTuber screamed his lungs out as his name was mentioned multiple times in the ad. 

Darren Watkins Jr. aka IShowSpeed is an American gaming YouTuber, soccer athlete, hip-hop musician, comedian, reactor, occasional vlogger, and variety live-streamer, currently residing in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is also known by his nickname Speedy or simply Speed in the community.

Speedy is a huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. He has said on many occasions that he sees Ronaldo as his idol and he was motivated to start playing soccer because of him. Speedy even made a full-fledged music video called, “Ronaldo” as a tribute to his inspiration.

It is very apparent how much Darren adores the Soccer player. So it wasn’t surprising that the young influencer went crazy when he saw his idol mention his name in a new commercial. Even though it wasn’t a shoutout at all.

On November 6, 2022, Speedy posted a video on his secondary channel called Speedy Boykins. The video was titled, “Ronaldo Shouted Me Out…”. In the video, Speedy reacted to a recently launched commercial. The commercial was the latest collaboration between Adidas and Manchester United FC.
