Darren "IShowSpeed" is one of the most popular streamers today. He just crossed over 28 million subscribers on YouTube while on a Minecraft Hardcore Marathon with his streaming contemporary, Kai Cenat. Although Speed has had successful IRL streams, across his journey in Europe for example, a majority of his streams happen from his desk, with regular appearances from his brother, Dian.
Dian, commonly referred to as Jamal, is Speed's younger half-brother and was born on February 13, 2008, making him 16 years old, as of writing this article.
IShowSpeed has had many fun streams with his brother Jamal
Jamal has made several appearances on the IShowSpeed channel, starting in 2021. An early instance was when the brothers played a 1v1 basketball match.
Jamal would continue to appear on Speed's channel, often advocating for football star Lionel Messi. This resulted in banter between the two since Speed is famously a Cristiano Ronaldo fan. On one occasion, Jamal removed Ronaldo from Speed's FIFA player collection, causing the latter to lash out a bit.

Other highlights include when speed cut Jamal's hair live on stream. Fans found this moment hilarious, especially because of how terribly Speed went about cutting his brother's hair.
Speed also features his father, Darren Watkins Sr., in his streams, who was responsible for driving Speed's Lamborghini when the streamer jumped over the car for the first time.
Challenges Jamal has faced for being featured in IShowSpeed's channel
In August 2023, IShowSpeed accidentally exposed himself during a livestream, a mishap that quickly became a widespread joke online, leading to the nickname "IShowMeat" being associated with him. Unfortunately, the repercussions of this incident extended beyond Speed himself, impacting Jamal as well.
During one of Speed's livestreams, Jamal opened up about how he has been constantly teased at school not just for his weight but also for the viral incident involving his brother. He mentioned that he is often shamed by his peers, with many labeling him as "IShowMeat's brother."
The online community has reacted with empathy toward Jamal's situation. Many viewers expressed their support for him, encouraging him to stay strong and praising Speed for his efforts to entertain while supporting his brother. However, some also criticized the situation, pointing out the negative impact Speed's actions have had on his younger sibling.
Overall, Jamal continues to appear on Speed's stream. Most recently, he appeared on stream with Kai Cenat during Kai and Speed's Minecraft Marathon.
In other news, Adin Ross has addressed rumors regarding a potential lawsuit against his former bodyguard, Ant, stating that he looks forward to the situation.
