East Africa arrival

The streamer, born Darren Jason Watkins Jr, arrived in Rwanda on Saturday, January 10, 2026, marking his eighth country on his ongoing multi-country African tour.

After touching down in the East African nation, he immediately kicked off a series of high-energy activities that were livestreamed to his millions of followers around the world.

During his first hours, Speed did push-ups with a short-statured man who claimed to be a mini version of him, a moment that quickly amused fans watching the stream.

He also took time to learn a few local Rwandese words, drawing cheers from people gathered around him in the streets.

One of the highlights of the day was a visit to Amahoro Stadium, Rwanda’s largest stadium, where the streamer marvelled at its size and modern layout.

At several moments, he could be heard expressing surprise at how big the venue was compared to what he had expected.

Speed later linked up with some of Rwanda’s top NBA Africa–affiliated basketball players, streaming live as they attempted stunts, practised different dunking styles and showed off their athletic skills.

In one segment, Speed raced one of the players on the basketball court, leaving hundreds to flock inside to witness the contest.

As he moved through Kigali, the streamer was also gifted a cake featuring a carved portrait of his face, leaving him visibly impressed and appreciative.

Key tour highlights

The American streamer officially kicked off his African tour in Angola on December 29, 2025, where he spent several days interacting with fans and immersing himself in local culture.

From Angola, he travelled to South Africa, receiving an overwhelming welcome marked by massive crowds, street interactions and viral livestream moments.

His third stop was Mozambique, where he arrived on Saturday, January 3, 2026. There, Speed streamed from city streets and coastal areas, joined traditional dancers and acrobats, and openly praised the country’s scenery and culture.

After Mozambique, Speed headed to Eswatini, then to Botswana, where he streamed from the jungle and went on safari, before proceeding to Zimbabwe as his sixth destination. While in Zimbabwe, he announced a brief one-day break before resuming his tour activities.

On Friday, January 9, 2026, the streamer arrived in Zambia, his seventh stop, where thousands of fans turned out to greet him. During the visit, he toured the capital, received custom artwork from a local artist, sampled local food and interacted with children during a karate class.

Rwanda now becomes the eighth country on the tour, as Speed continues to build momentum across Africa, with Kenyan fans still waiting anxiously for their turn.
