Global American online streamer iShowSpeed, has responded to criticism trailing his ongoing Africa tour, insisting the trip is not focused on influencer collaborations but on showcasing African culture and everyday people.
The clarification followed reactions from Nigerian content creators who accused the streamer of ignoring collaboration requests during his visit to Lagos.
Viral Lagos Livestream Sparks Debate
Speed’s first full day in Lagos, streamed live on Wednesday, drew huge crowds, intense street moments, and viral clips that quickly spread across social media platforms in Africa and beyond.
While many viewers praised the raw experience, others questioned why the streamer appeared to avoid meeting popular Nigerian creators during his time in the city.
Nigerian Creators Accuse Speed of Snubbing Collaborations
The backlash intensified after several Nigerian content creators claimed Speed ignored repeated requests to collaborate.
Fans especially pushed for a meetup with Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, a TikTok and Kick streamer.
Peller’s Dramatic Attempts Go Viral
Peller made several bold efforts to get Speed’s attention, including attempting to climb the streamer’s vehicle and later riding a horse through traffic.
In a widely circulated video, Peller was heard saying, “Please, I’m a streamer. I’m big. Please let’s do something. I have suffered because of you,” but Speed did not respond and continued his activities.
This moment fueled heated discussions online, with many questioning Speed’s approach to engaging local influencers.
Speed Says Tour Is Not About Influencers
Addressing the criticism, Speed explained that many people misunderstood the aim of his tour.
‘Complaining Creators Already Have Audiences’
Speed further stated that most of the creators expressing dissatisfaction already have established platforms.
Tight Schedule Leaves No Room for Meetups
The streamer also clarified that his movements are strictly controlled by his team.
He said; “This tour is not about collaborations with influencers or streamers.”
“The goal is to show African culture, the people on the streets, and the talent that doesn’t usually get seen.”
“A lot of the people complaining already have audiences, while this tour is meant to give exposure to people who normally don’t get it.”
“Every day on this tour is scheduled — the locations, the time, everything.”
“Cutting short cultural visits or cancelling plans made by local communities would be disrespectful.”
“This trip is about the real Africa — the street performers, the local artists, and the communities with real talent that don’t usually get global attention.”
