Peruvian government supposedly made special cake for IShowSpeed which features One Piece and Cristiano Ronaldo

IShowSpeed is known to be a big fan of Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo and the anime series, One Piece. The 20-year-old content creator has spent $100,000 to create a fully customized game room containing references and sections entirely dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo and One Piece.

As such, the streamer was delighted to receive a cake from the Peruvian government that covered both his favorites. Reacting to the cake, IShowSpeed exclaimed:

"What?! That's sick!... No, chat, this cake's sick! Nah, that's pretty neat. Yo, this could've been my birthday cake."

Talking to the ever-active crowd in front of him, IShowSpeed exclaimed:

"Peru! Peru! I will forever, never ever, forget this moment of being a mayor. It means a lot to me!"
