Popular YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed," crossed the 26-million-subscriber mark on the platform while IRL streaming from Poland. Fans crowding around the streamer joined in on the celebration by chanting his name as he declared reaching the important milestone.
The 19-year-old content creator has been wildly successful on YouTube recently, increasing his subscriber count by roughly a million a month since April 2024. Currently, he is traveling around Europe after getting a house in Germany for the UEFA Euros.
IShowSpeed was heartbroken after his favorite player Cristiano Ronaldo's national team, Portugal, was knocked out of the tournament recently. Since then, he has IRL streamed in Switzerland. During his July 7 broadcast from Poland, he crossed the 26-million-subscriber mark on YouTube as Polish fans surrounding him in the streets cheered him on.
Watch: Fans cheer on IShowSpeed as he reaches 26 million YouTube subscribers
IShowSpeed was elated after he realized that his YouTube channel had crossed 26 million subscribers. Directly addressing the Polish fans being held off by his security team, the streamer shouted:
"We at 26 million! W Poland. W Poland! Yes sir! 26 million, let's go!"
He then started to repeatedly chant, "Let's go," as the crowd around him gradually joined him. Many cheered his name before IShowSpeed turned and started a "Poland" chant to thank his supporters in the country. Readers should note that this is not the first time that the streamer has been in this nation, having visited it only a few days ago.
The atmosphere around the YouTuber was jubilant as fans celebrated their favorite streamer reaching the 26 million subscriber milestone. This crowd was also a far cry from the people that had gathered to see Speed in Norway last week, where he was 'assaulted' by the throng of his supposed fans in the streets of Oslo. The streamer has since then vowed to never visit the Scandinavian country again.
