Dian Jason Watkins, also known as Jamal, is IShowSpeed’s half-brother who is popular for his appearances on Speed’s streams.
Dian Jason Watkins, commonly referred to as Jamal, is IShowSpeed’s half-brother. Jamal was born on February 13, 2008, and is 16 years old as of this writing. Dian initially appeared on IShowSpeed’s channel. He’s known for his playful banter with his brother and his enthusiastic support for Lionel Messi, which often leads to friendly arguments with IShowSpeed, a Cristiano Ronaldo fan.
Jamal appeared on Speed’s YouTube channel in 2021, when the brothers played basketball together. Dian being a Messi fan often leads to banter between him and Speed, who is religiously obsessed with Ronaldo. Jamal also removed Cristiano Ronaldo from Darren’s FIFA player collection, which angered the latter. Later on, the 16-year-old has appeared on Speed’s stream for a haircut, shopping spree, IRL streams, and much more.
However, Jamal has stated that he wants to be a “regular kid” and that he wants to do things without a famous brother. Dian himself sometimes streams on YouTube, featuring him playing games and chatting with viewers on a laid-back note as opposed to his brother. Watkins has appeared on Adin Ross’ streams, 2xRaKai’s streams and others as well.

Dian Watkins’ Thoughts on Fame
Jamal has stated that his schoolmates often call him Speed’s brother, which “ticks him off.” He wants to be a regular kid without a famous brother. He stated,
“I wanna do my own stuff, I don’t wanna have my brother be the main center of attention like every time I go to school. They bring up Speed and you know, yadda yadda yadda, it ticks me off.”
