"Dream come true moment" - IShowSpeed's unexpected collaboration with Indian singer Daler Mehndi leaves fans in awe

YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” has finally completed his much-awaited collaboration with Indian singer Daler Mehndi (Punjabi singer popular in the 90s and 2000s). For those unaware, the streamer has been a huge fan of Daler’s 1998 classic “Tunak Tunak Tun” and has been seen dancing to the tune of the song in his streams.

The streamer also happens to be in India right now; hence, a collaboration was made possible. In fact, it was Daler who had initially invited the streamer after he was told that the YouTuber was a fan of his songs.

Today, on October 13, the pair finally met up to perform together in the presence of a small but enthusiastic audience. Witnessing these two artists collaborate brought immense joy to many fans. One fan even commented:

Watch: IShowSpeed beat boxes to Daler Mehndi’s song

IShowSpeed is no stranger to making eyebrow-raising collaborations. However, a possible meet-up with Indian singer Daler Mehndi was certainly something that not many would have envisaged.

The streamer, who arrived in India yesterday, has already found himself collaborating with 24-year-old up-and-coming Indian rapper MC Stan.

Today, the streamer has taken things one step further with a jamming session with Daler. Meeting the popular singer, the streamer said:

"I love you so much bro, genuinely bro. Literally. And I love your songs. You watch my YouTube videos? Yo bro, we gotta do the Tunak Tunak bro. That's what I'm saying. We gotta do the Tunak Tunak bro."

He even added:

"I'm excited to meet you. Do you know how many times I played your songs? Do you know how many times I listened to our songs?"

Daler also gracefully responded:

"I saw all of your YouTube reels. I enjoyed it and I also wanted to meet you."

IShowSpeed went the extra mile by donning a vibrant yellow Kurta to immerse himself in the Indian culture, and he showcased his beatboxing skills while Daler mesmerized the crowd with his rendition of the beloved "Tunak Tunak Tun."

If that wasn't already impressive, the duo later took to the dance floor, recreating the iconic dance moves originally featured in the song.
