American YouTuber IShowSpeed is known for his high-energy live streams and funny interactions with fans all over the world. He had a funny experience while he was in Thailand recently. Darren Watkins Jr., the internet star, was streaming live from a car when he ran into two big fans of South Indian superstar Thalapathy Vijay. This led to a funny cultural mix-up that has since gone viral.

The Surprise Meeting

Speed was driving through a Thai city with his team while wearing a Manchester United jersey when two young fans on a bike started yelling "TVK! TVK!" This was in reference to Thalapathy Vijay Kumar. Speed was confused and asked his crew, "What are they saying?" A few seconds later, the bikers yelled, "Thalapathy Vijay! Thalapathy Vijay!" in excitement.

Speed, who was completely confused, said his usual response, "What the f**k they saying?" He tried to figure out what the words meant when someone in his car jokingly said, "Chief Minister of India!" This made both Speed and his viewers laugh.

Later, the two fans came back to his car and offered to take him for a bike ride, saying, "It's going to be so much fun!" Speed laughed and said, "No, thank you." I'm fine, brother.

This meeting comes after Speed's recent trip to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he went to the Joy Forum 2025, an international entertainment event that promotes creativity and cultural exchange. People saw Speed talking to famous people from around the world, like Shah Rukh Khan, Shaquille O'Neal, and fellow YouTuber MrBeast, during the event.
