IShowSpeed’s most recent stop was in Ecuador, where he was mobbed by fans who grabbed his hair and more. He also tried a traditional Ecuadorian dish, learned a native dance, and met popular influencer Jorgito Guayaco. He was shocked to try the dish named “cuy” after learning it was actually hamster meat.
“Alright chat, let’s try cuy, the best chicken in Ecuador. It is chicken? Is it chicken? What is it…A hamster? A hamster?… A rat? Okay, okay, okay, okay. It is good. Wait, wait, wait, what is this?”
