At a young age, Darren Watkins Jr. was fascinated by computer games and the vastness of the YouTube community, which is one of the factors that pushed him to create content and upload it to the platform.

However, before he joined the online community, he worked in a nursing home where he delivered food to the residents.

Darren Watkins Jr. first created his account on March 21, 2016, and he published his first video on December 21, 2017. He went by the name IShowSpeed. He did his first livestream where he played Fortnite, but he only averaged 2 viewers throughout the stream.

In 2020, he was actively livestreaming himself playing the NBA 2K games and Fortnite. During this time, his following started to increase as he then averaged 10 viewers in his streams and he added 150 new subscribers weekly.

Other than NBA 2K and Fortnite, he is also known for his rivalry with Talking Ben of the Talking Tom and Friends franchise. He usually argued with Ben through the Talking Ben the Dog app and he usually asked Ben questions such as if he supports the LGBTQ+ and Black Lives Matter movement.

By the start of 2021, IShowSpeed started to gain 1,000 subscribers weekly and 350 viewers in his livestream on average. He surpassed 100,000 subscribers in April of 2021. In the same year, IShowSpeed’s fanbase started uploading clips of him during his livestreams on TikTok. This helped him reach 1 million subscribers in June 2021.

After his rise to success, IShowSpeed collaborated with various music producers and started making songs. He currently has 4 songs in his name; Bounce that A$$ (2021), Dooty Booty (2021), Shake (2022), and God is Good (2022). This, obviously, helped to add to IShowSpeed’s net worth in 2022.

Unfortunately, he was also involved in a couple of controversies. On December 13, 2021, IShowSpeed was invited to Adin Ross’ live dating show that he held on Twitch. During the show, he asked social media influencer Ash Kaash if he would reproduce with him if they’re the last humans on Earth to keep the population going.

She said no and IShowSpeed became aggressive with his approach. He temporarily left the stream after Adin Ross told him to calm down. However, when he returned, he targeted Ash Kaash with sexist insults. He was then forcibly removed from the stream.

Due to this incident, clips of their exchange became viral and he received major backlash. The following day, IShowSpeed’s Twitch account was permanently banned. Despite that, his channel continued to grow and he continued to stream on YouTube after his ban from Twitch.

As for what he earns, IShowSpeed said that he earns around $75 to $200 per upload, depending on the length of his streams. He also makes money from YouTube ad revenue and sponsorships. He reportedly makes $167,000 every month from the ads on his YouTube videos.

IShowSpeed also created other channels. He created his second channel on June 1, 2021, called Live Speedy. He posts highlights of his past livestreams on that channel and it currently has 1.95 million subscribers.

His third channel, Speedy Boykins, contains short clips of his videos and livestreams. As of this writing, it has 438,000 subscribers. His main channel, IShowSpeed, has 7.9 million subscribers.

It is no question that as time goes by, his popularity and following will continue to grow. It will be no surprise if he surpasses 10 million subscribers before 2022 ends.
