IShowSpeed is a family man off camera and spends time with his dad (Daddy Speed) and his brother brother Dian (often called Jamal).
YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” is one of the most popular content creators in the online scene right now. Having over 33 million subscribers, he is one of the most followed and sought-after creators in the world. Despite being pretty consistent, he still makes time for his personal life. When not streaming, IShowSpeed likes to spend time with his family. He is often seen with his father, Darren Watkins Sr. (aka Daddy Speed), who is also on YouTube and has over 420K subscribers. His half-brother Dian (often jokingly called Jamal) is also a regular presence in his life.
Those who follow Speed’s streams are familiar with his frequent wild antics, such as barking and jumping at random things. However, off-camera, he tends to be calmer, though he occasionally exhibits this behavior around others, especially fellow creators.
He is also a sports fan and revealed that he supports the Ohio State Football Team. Since 2022, he has also been a football watcher and is known to cheer for Manchester United in the Premier League. The streamer is also a vocal fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and owns a host of memorabilia associated with the Portuguese player.
Recently, he teamed up with his dad and brother during his stream (December 24, 2024) to celebrate a Christmas-themed event. The group ended up unboxing various packages that fans sent to Speed’s P.O. box. Watch the stream here:
