YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" has garnered attention on social media after claims about Cristiano Ronaldo joining his online community went viral. On April 23, 2025, the content creator's fan account on X, @IShowSpeedHQ, claimed that Ronaldo was a member of his official X Community, SPEED GANG.
The account shared a screenshot that seemed to show that the Portuguese football legend was both a member and a moderator of SPEED GANG.

"NO F**KING WAY. THE HINT WAS X BECAUSE HE KNEW RONALDO WOULD JOIN. SPEED X RONALDO SOON" @efb____ commented.
One community member hoped to see the 20-year-old streamer collaborate with his idol:
"Now we'll very soon see a Speed x Ronaldo collab on YT," @was_abdd tweeted.
Meanwhile, X user @Slowfreeze98 believed that Cristiano Ronaldo "acknowledged a GOAT (Greatest of all Time)" like the content creator:

On the other hand, X user @VASUOPP claimed "some sort of glitch" occurred on X because, according to them, Kanye West and Donald Trump also allegedly joined the YouTuber's community:
"Its some sort of glitch. Ronaldo even joined adin’s community. Kanye trump also joined speed’s community. But you know ishowspeed fans are very gullible and these accounts want engagement," @VASUOPP remarked.
