American streamer IShowSpeed’s car got stuck in the Maasai Mara on Monday, January 12, 2026.
What was meant to be a thrilling safari adventure turned into an unexpected detour for internet star IShowSpeed after the vehicle he was travelling in got stuck deep in the rugged terrain of the Maasai Mara.
The car got stuck just 40 minutes into the stream inside the Maasai Mara.
“It is hot a hell, we are out in the middle of a safari, all the cars are stuck, and there are lions twenty meters from here,” Speed stated.
Moments after the car got stuck, Speed had to get out of the vehicle as the team around him tried to push the car out of the mud.
However, another tour van managed to pull out the car from the mud, and Speed continued on his Maasai Mara safari, where he spotted various wild animals, including elephants, zebras, and lions.
Day one in Nairobi
His second day trip came just after a sensational moment at the capital, Nairobi.
IShowSpeed ended his first day in Kenya on a deeply emotional note after a whirlwind livestream that shut down parts of Nairobi and smashed his Africa tour subscriber record.
What began as a highly anticipated stream on Sunday, January 11, 2026, quickly turned into a full-blown spectacle, with massive crowds pouring into the streets to catch a glimpse of the YouTube star.
From noon to late evening, Speed took fans on a high-energy rollercoaster that blended culture, sport, food and wildlife, all streamed live to millions across the world.
The day kicked off with a visit to a Nairobi school, where screaming students in Upperhill High School welcomed him like a pop star.
He later linked up with world javelin champion Julius Yego, sharing laughs and attempting throws that quickly went viral.
The tour also included meet-ups with popular Kenyan creators, among them Gen-Z Goliath, whose towering physique and oversized shoes left Speed visibly stunned.
Food was another major highlight. Speed sampled local dishes, openly declaring his love for Kenyan flavours after trying ugali, nyama choma and other staples.
