As of January 15, 2026, IShowSpeed (Darren Watkins Jr.) is physically in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This stop is a major highlight of his massive “Speed Does Africa” tour, where he is visiting 20 countries in 28 days.
Why are there “Egypt” streams showing up?
If you see a scheduled stream or a new video titled “irl stream in Egypt,” it is most likely a premiere of recorded highlights or a re-broadcast of his earlier visit. Speed’s actual timeline shows he has already moved through North and East Africa:
- Egypt: Visited at the very start of January 2026 (famous for his Great Pyramid stream).
- Kenya: Explored Nairobi and the Maasai Mara from January 11–12.
- Ethiopia: Arrived on January 13. He spent January 14–15 exploring the capital, visiting the Science and Art Museum, and hitting a new milestone of 48.5 million subscribers.
What’s Happening in Ethiopia?
Speed’s visit to Addis Ababa has been record-breaking. Key moments from the last 48 hours include:
- The “Speed Multiverse”: Meeting his Ethiopian doppelgänger in the middle of a crowded street.
- Cultural Immersion: Participating in traditional dances and attempting the “raw meat challenge.”
- High-Tech Chaos: Visiting the Ethiopian Science and Art Museum and “crashing” a Boeing flight simulator during his live broadcast.
Where is Speed Going Next?
According to his 28-day itinerary, Speed is moving fast to cover the remaining countries on his list. His next major stops are expected to be in West Africa:
- Nigeria (Lagos) – Rumored to be his next destination.
- Ghana (Accra)
- Senegal (Dakar)
Note: Because Speed travels privately and often arrives in cities unannounced to manage crowd sizes, his exact flight times are kept secret until he goes live.
Would you like me to track his social media for a confirmed arrival in Nigeria or set an alert for when he officially goes live next?
