But before logging off, the creator hinted that his return could be his biggest move yet, leaving fans hyped and suspicious in equal measure.
IShowSpeed hits pause after wild European streaming tour
On Tuesday, July 9, 2025, IShowSpeed wrapped up what might've been his most chaotic travel arc yet. He casually revealed on stream that he's stepping away from broadcasting, at least for the next two weeks. The news came at the tail end of a high-energy session that wrapped up his recent European IRL tour.
But after what he called a
'W,'
the 19-year-old streamer hinted he's got something brewing behind the scenes.
'I'm taking a two-week break for a very good reason. When I come back, it's gonna be huge. Just wait and see. I promise it's worth it,'
he said.
Speed, real name Darren Watkins Jr., has been bouncing between countries for the past few weeks filming IRL streams, meeting fans, and occasionally getting into the kind of mischief only Speed can.
From surprising Parisian tourists to livestreaming wild football moments, the tour was peak entertainment.
'I promise it's worth it,' says Speed as speculation erupts
The streamer didn't offer much beyond a timeline and a single, loaded phrase:
'When I come back, it's gonna be huge. I promise it's worth it.'
Fans immediately jumped into theory mode. Could it be another mega collab? A stadium event? A long-rumored Messi appearance?
'Summer ain't over,'
he teased before ending the stream.

'That's all I'ma say.'
One thing's for sure: Speed knows how to leave a room.
Fans react as Speed disappears from the timeline
Within minutes of going offline, 'IShowSpeed' started trending on X (formerly Twitter). Clips of his announcement flooded TikTok. Fan pages lit up with countdown clocks, and guesses ranged from 'WWE return' to 'World Cup collab.'
One user joked,
'Speed finna do a collaboration with Messi when he returns.'
Some fans posted memes of Speed's signature scream overlaid with conspiracy boards, joking that his return could rival the Super Bowl. Others simply dropped messages like
'MISS HIM ALREADY'
and
'A two-week Speed drought? Pain.'
What's next? Only Speed knows, and he's not telling (yet)
While there's no official word on what Speed's next big thing is, those close to the community are convinced it's more than just a new setup or merch drop.
The creator's history of blowing past expectations, whether it's crashing the Royal Rumble or making music videos that trend globally, means this break could be the calm before a
massive
online storm.

Explained: The Top 5 Internet Slang Terms Everyone's Using In 2025

The ever-evolving landscape of internet communication continues to introduce new slang, frequently driven by Gen Z and disseminated across platforms like TikTok and Twitch. Understanding these terms is essential for navigating online interactions effectively in 2025. Here are five prevalent internet slang terms currently in widespread use: Rizz: This term is a shortened form of "charisma" and refers to an individual's skill in flirting, charming, or attracting others, particularly in a romantic context. Its popularity surged from online gaming and social media culture, becoming a common descriptor for someone's ability to effortlessly engage with others. Delulu: An informal abbreviation of "delusional," "delulu" is often used humorously to describe someone who holds unrealistic or irrational beliefs, particularly in relation to their aspirations or fantasies. While originating in fandom communities, it has broadened its application to mockingly or affectionately refer to overly optimistic thinking. NPC: Derived from the gaming term "Non-Playable Character," an "NPC" in internet slang denotes an individual who appears to lack originality, independent thought, or emotional depth. It is frequently employed to satirise or criticise those perceived as acting generically or following trends without genuine awareness. Slay: This versatile term signifies doing something exceptionally well, looking outstanding, or achieving a remarkable success. "Slay" is a widely used word of affirmation and praise, applicable to various situations from fashion choices to impressive performances. Its use expresses strong approval and admiration. Ate (and left no crumbs): Building upon "slay," this phrase emphasises a complete and utterly dominant performance or achievement. When someone "ate (and left no crumbs)," it means they executed a task or performance flawlessly, leaving no room for improvement or competition. This hyperbolic expression conveys absolute triumph.
