YouTube streamer Darren IShowSpeed (or simply Speed) graduated from Ohio Digital Learning School in Maumee, Ohio, on June 13, 2023. At the time of his graduation, Speed was 18 years old. He even live-streamed the entire event on his official YouTube channel. A highlight of the day is also available on his second YouTube channel (Live Speedy). In typical IShowSpeed fashion, he requested to be introduced as C. Ronaldo Darren Watkins Jr. while walking across the stage.

After collecting his certificate, Speed showed off his athletic abilities in front of an auditorium full of students. Incredibly, the streamer managed to backflip in his academic regalia (robe), which prompted a wave of cheering from the crowd and staff members. Speed expressed his relief at having finished high school, saying:

“Let’s go, no more f**king school! Finally! F**k man, finally bro! No more f**king school, man. We out. We f**king out. I’m done with high school. Y’all can’t tell me sh*t. Let’s go! I’m out!…put the ‘W’ in the chat, I’m done with school. That’s all I want to see.”


Who Did IShowSpeed Go to Prom With?

Just weeks before his graduation (April 2024), IShowSpeed attended prom, a common tradition in many American schools. He brought TikTok creator Aaliyah Wasko (often called “the gurl” on stream) as his date, and the entire event was live-streamed on his YouTube channel. Watch it here:

For those curious about Aaliyah, she was a regular on IShowSpeed’s channel. Speed often FaceTimed her during his streams, and the two even went on casual dates together. However, it’s unclear whether they were officially in a relationship. However, their friendship took a negative turn in December 2023 when alleged clips surfaced showing Aaliyah with another guy recording TikTok videos together.

This entire situation was addressed in one of Speed’s December streams, where he called out the TikTok creator. Aaliyah, however, maintained her innocence, stating that the clips had been taken out of context and were recorded in October (2023) when she wasn’t on talking terms with the streamer.

Nonetheless, the streamer hasn’t spoken to her since (at least on stream). Reacting to the incident, he said:

“I am not going to call or hit you up ever. Me, I am growing up, about to be 19 and sh*t. My life is changing, I am not dealing with this lolly-golly sh*t. I met Ronaldo, my n***a. And I know Ronaldo won’t even go for that sh*t, so. That’s my straightforward, bro.”
