In a highly anticipated return to Malaysia, popular American YouTuber Darren Watkins Jr., aka IShowSpeed, had the honor of meeting with Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) owner, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, the Regent of Johor. This marks the 19-year-old social media sensation's second visit to the country, following a previous surprise trip that left a lasting impression on Malaysian fans.

IShowSpeed's initial visit to Malaysia was a viral sensation, with a clip of him trying local cuisine, including a spontaneous stop at a Kuala Lumpur burger stall, racking up over a million views on TikTok. After a brief tour in Indonesia, he returned to Malaysia to witness JDT's thrilling 6-1 victory over Kelantan Darul Naim in a Super League match at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on Sunday.

The highlight of IShowSpeed's visit was a heartwarming meeting with Tunku Ismail, who revealed that his children are huge fans of the YouTuber. The Crown Prince arranged a video call between IShowSpeed and his kids, who were overjoyed to meet their idol virtually. During the call, IShowSpeed playfully asked, "Why aren't they here?" Tunku Ismail explained that his children were currently in Singapore, which prevented them from attending the match in person.

Tunku Ismail later confirmed the visit on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, writing, "Popular online streamer IShowSpeed visited the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium during Johor Darul Ta'zim FC's 6-1 win over Kelantan Darul Naim today. The American YouTuber, who has over 50 million followers across social media, also met with JDT owner, Tunku Ismail, the Regent of Johor. Allah Peliharakan Sultan."

IShowSpeed's return to Malaysia has been met with excitement from his fans, who are eager to see more of his adventures in the country. With his massive following and infectious personality, it's no surprise that he has become a beloved figure in the region. As he continues to explore Malaysia and connect with its people, IShowSpeed is sure to leave a lasting impression on the country and its fans.
