YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" has reportedly donated half of his winnings from one of MrBeast's challenges to the Palestine Relief fund. The creator had been the recipient of $100,000 after competing with Sidemen star Olajide "KSI" in a Wipeout-themed live stream, with MrBeast joining the pair to award the sum of money.

In the hilarious stream, the pair could be seen trying their best to overcome the obstacle course, taking tumbles off the platform and into the water throughout the stream. The last obstacle to be completed was the signature "Red Balls" often seen in the Wipeout series.

Darren is known for his energetic live streams and his explosive personality, which is showcased through his slapstick humor, off-hand comments, and outspoken attitude. Speed's ability to entertain his audiences has netted him a significant fanbase on YouTube, with more than 25 million subscribers on his main channel.

The $100,000 Wipeout stream with KSI and MrBeast was broadcast on IShowSpeed's channel on June 5, 2024, and has since received over 3.7 million views. As the two competed to reach the final platform, it was Speed who eventually managed to touch the finish point, leading him to become the winner of the challenge and the recipient of $100,000. This sum of money was given to him personally in cash by MrBeast, with the amount being handed over in huge suitcases towards the end of the broadcast.

As per the post by X account @IShowReports, the streamer has donated half of the amount to provide humanitarian aid to those affected by the Israel-Hamas war going on in the Gaza Strip.


IShowSpeed is known for giving away money on several occasions. His most recent giveaway took place in a stream in which he was hosting a "Whatever You Draw, I'll Buy" competition, in which participants would use Minecraft to "draw". The winner had decided to make a car, the Nissan GTR. However, after he realized the cost of the car, Darren offered to pay the winner $20,000 instead, which the individual agreed upon.
