IShowSpeed gets a surprise reply from Al-Nassr

Regular IShowSpeed fans will know that the streamer is a fanatical supporter of Cristiano Ronaldo. However, seeing him join the Saudi Arabian team was a tad bit surprising since he was unaware of the club. Comically, he took to private messages and asked:

"Who are you mate"

Furthermore, he sent a follow-up text stating his intentions to watch Ronaldo's debut match. According to reports, the world could see the Portuguese return to action as early as Thursday. Al-Nassr has a match against Al Ta'ee on January 5. After that, the Saudi team will take on Al Shabab on January 14.

However, Darren is unlikely to travel to the Middle East on such short notice. Nonetheless, the club responded to Darren's entreaty by welcoming him to their stadium. They wrote:

"Hello! We will be happy to have you!"

Upon seeing the message, IShowSpeed gave out a euphoric cry, thinking that the club had invited him to play alongside his idol. He exclaimed:

"Oh! oh! oh! I'm getting signed! I'm getting signed! I'm getting signed! Oh let's go! Me and Ronaldo playing together! Me and Ronaldo playing together for Saudi Arabia."

Continuing his tirade, he exclaimed:

"Come on! Let's go! It is my time! It's my time. I'm getting signed."
