Speaking during the broadcast, Speed said it was his first time in Kenya and promised fans unforgettable content.
“This is my first time in Kenya. Kenya will be lit, 100 per cent. Stream about to be lit,” he said.
From there, IShowSpeed, accompanied by his security team, is exploring the bustling Kenyatta Market, experiencing the lively trade, colourful products, and the unique street energy that makes the market a local favourite.
The adventure continues at Nairobi National Park, where IShowSpeed is getting up close with Kenya’s famous wildlife, enjoying a safari experience just a short drive from the city centre.
Adding to the excitement, Collo Blue is taking IShowSpeed for a ride in a matatu, Nairobi’s iconic public transport minibuses, giving him a real feel of the city’s everyday hustle, street culture, and vibrant vibe.
The visit also featured a standout moment with Julius Yego, Kenya’s world-renowned javelin thrower. Yego gave Speed a brief lesson on technique before watching him attempt a throw of his own.
The light-hearted exchange blended sports, humour and star power, adding another viral clip to the stream.
Collo Blue also introduced the YouTube star to Kenyan cuisine, letting him savour local dishes and flavours that reflect the country’s rich culinary heritage. During the stream, he was seen cooking chapati and ugali, guided by locals as he attempted to flip chapatis and stir ugali over the heat.
He later sampled popular Kenyan dishes, including mukimo and nyama choma, reacting animatedly to the flavours.
Speed singled out nyama choma and ugali as his favourite combo, saying the pairing “goes crazy” and promising to eat it again before leaving the country.
Their tour also takes them through Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD), where IShowSpeed is soaking in the city’s energy, sights, and sounds. Collo Blue is showing him both hidden gems and popular landmarks while sharing stories about Nairobi’s history and lifestyle.
