How Did IShowSpeed Become Famous?

Before becoming a YouTube sensation, Speed delivered food to the elderly in a nursing home. It wasn't until mid-2019 that he found interest in YouTube, but even then, his videos did not gain much popularity.

Speed later revealed that he tried YouTube again during a time when he did not have motivation. He averaged two to four viewers weekly but kept posting his videos until the numbers grew monumentally.

Speed reached a million followers in under two months, placing him among the fastest-growing content creators. His releases include gaming content of Fortnite, FIFA, NBA2k20, and NBA2k21. His content became even more unique as his followers multiplied, which was a strength for him.
