Popular American streamer Darren Watkins Jr., widely known as IShowSpeed, has made headlines during his visit to Nigeria after linking up with TikTok star Jarvis, also called Jadrolita, while seemingly avoiding her former boyfriend, fellow content creator Peller.

The YouTube sensation is currently in Lagos as part of his much-talked-about Africa tour. He arrived in the city on Wednesday, a day that turned out to be a major milestone in his career as he celebrated his 21st birthday and simultaneously crossed 50 million subscribers on YouTube while live-streaming from the streets of Lagos.

Since his arrival, IShowSpeed has been meeting fans and collaborating with Nigerian content creators. However, his interactions have not been without drama. Peller, a popular TikToker and Jarvis’s ex-boyfriend, was seen on multiple occasions attempting to get close to the streamer.

Despite his efforts, he was consistently kept at bay by IShowSpeed’s security team and was unable to speak with or collaborate with him on camera.

In one viral moment, Peller was captured riding a horse while chasing IShowSpeed’s convoy and calling out to him, but the streamer did not acknowledge him.

While Peller was left out, Jarvis had a very different experience. The TikTok creator shared a video on her Instagram page showing herself and IShowSpeed during a live session, where she taught him some dance moves.
