Controversial US YouTuber “IShowSpeed,” whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, is launching his first tour in Australia with a live-stream event scheduled for 10 am AEDT today. Recently, he has gained attention for his international travels, including exciting experiences in South East Asia, where he faced a professional Muay Thai fighter, mingled with boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, and encountered wildlife like tigers and elephants.
While details of Watkins’ Australian tour activities remain undisclosed, it’s clear that he brings his unique brand of entertainment down under following his recent adventures. His career originated in gaming, but controversies have followed him. Notably, he was banned from Twitch in 2021 due to allegations of sexual coercion during an e-dating show. However, he has since shifted his focus to soccer, travel, and professional wrestling, leading to increased popularity.
Watkins recently made headlines for becoming the most-watched English-speaking streamer of all time during his tour in Indonesia, further cementing his status in the content creation world. His antics and engaging personality promise to provide an entertaining experience for his Australian audience.
