IShowSpeed, born Darren Watkins Jr., has had a packed and headline-grabbing few days, further cementing his place as one of the most recognized online personalities of this era. Kicking things off, FandomWire and IMDb covered his highly publicized race against fitness influencer Ashton Hall during a recent livestream. Not only did Speed beat Hall in four consecutive heats, but the aftermath saw Hall have what was described as a near meltdown, with the clash between the two drawing extensive social media buzz and dozens of reaction memes. This competitive side of Speed, already well-known thanks to his self-styled athleticism and earlier hints that he aims to compete at the 2028 Olympics, shone through yet again, and the moment trended across Instagram and X.
Speaking of sports and starpower, October saw Speed front and center in the new Riyadh Season campaign alongside internet giants MrBeast and KSI. Saudi entertainment officials unveiled the “Try Not To Enjoy It” promo film, with a big push to attract younger Gen Z fans. Directed by branded content specialist Gibson Hazard, the promotional film is already driving international attention for Riyadh Season 2025 and solidifies Speed’s role as a global influencer. His presence in such major entertainment marketing signals deepening commercial appeal and cross-platform viability, especially as global brands chase influencer co-signs.
On the business side, recent analytics from HypeAuditor put Speed at number 26 worldwide among Instagram influencers as of late July, tallying over 39 million followers and an “excellent” engagement rate above 14 percent. His audience growth has been sharp—up more than 2.2 million in the last month—and industry estimates peg his Instagram earnings between $236,000 and $324,000 per month, an upward trend that's pushed annual projections near $4 million. Industry analysis notes this outsized engagement reflects both global reach and a fiercely loyal audience base, which is a rarity at this scale. If his growth continues, several sources indicate he is on track to break into the top 20 influencers globally before year-end.
Major media also spotlighted the October 7 Los Angeles premiere for Speed’s YouTube series “Speed Goes Pro,” as reported by Vibe Magazine. Produced with OBB Pictures and sponsored by Dick’s Sporting Goods, this event drew A-listers like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian, further blurring lines between social media influencer and traditional celebrity. Response was overwhelmingly positive and is already sparking speculation that Speed may pursue more mainstream hosting and acting projects. Meanwhile, a Threads post from the Celtics caught Speed collaborating on content with NBA stars, highlighting his ongoing crossover with major sports franchises. In summary, Speed’s last few days have been marked not just by entertainment and viral moments but also strategic business moves and significant international media appearances—each adding a new chapter to his already extraordinary bio.
