The “Speed Does Africa” tour just got a chaotic twist. On January 11, 2026, as IShowSpeed was breaking records in Kenya, a familiar—and controversial—face emerged from the crowd. White Speed (Gooonki) has officially tracked the world’s biggest streamer to Nairobi, despite explicit warnings from Speed’s security team.
Who is White Speed?
White Speed, originally known as Gooonki, is a content creator who gained viral fame by “stream sniping” (tracking the live location of) IShowSpeed. He is known for:
- Copycat Behavior: Mimicking Speed’s barking, backflips, and high-energy outfits.
- Extreme Stunts: He previously went viral for hanging upside down inside a building in South Africa just to get on camera.
- The “Africa Chase”: He claimed on TikTok to have spent his “last dollar” to follow Speed across the continent.
What Happened in Kenya?
During Speed’s record-breaking Nairobi stream—which saw him hit 48 million subscribers—White Speed appeared unexpectedly in the CBD.
The interaction was noticeably tense. Unlike previous “funny” encounters, Speed appeared visibly stunned and opted to ignore the sniper after his management team warned him to keep his distance for safety reasons. Fans caught the awkward silence on camera, which has since generated millions of views on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok.
Is White Speed Dangerous or Just a Super-Fan?
The debate is splitting the fanbase:
- The “Meme” Crowd: Sees him as a harmless side character adding to the “lore” of the tour.
- The Safety Crowd: Expresses concern that tracking a creator across 20 countries is “stalking” behavior, especially given the massive crowds in Nairobi.
