State of emergency!
YouTube star escorted by police in Vienna
A state of emergency prevailed in Vienna on Tuesday afternoon when YouTube star "IShowSpeed" suddenly appeared in Vienna. He did it to collect followers, eat kebab and Kaiserschmarrn, but also to do a few laps in the Wurstelprater. Always accompanied by countless fans who followed him on scooters, mopeds and bicycles.
Don't know who "IShowSpeed" is? Well, it's best to ask your children. Because the man, who has over 25 million followers on YouTube, is a real superstar in the gaming scene and on TikTok. His trademark is his fan cult for Cristiano Ronaldo screaming hysterically at everything he does. This extroverted nature has long since made the 19-year-old American an internet millionaire.
The excitement was correspondingly great on Tuesday afternoon when the man, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr, suddenly appeared in Vienna. He does this in several countries, collecting more and more followers - and in Vienna he (accompanied by grim-looking bodyguards) paralyzed everything he came to.
100 euros for a fan T-shirt
So a visit to Parter turned into a real attraction for everyone there, who were completely perplexed by what was going on. Because this time it wasn't "IShowSpeed" who was screaming, but his fans. The same game was played when he stopped for a Kaiserschmarrn or a kebab. Intermezzo included, when he brought a boy to him who was wearing a soccer kit (from Christiano Ronaldo). He bought it from him without further ado and gave the child 100 euros and a selfie in return.
Until the end, he caused a stir wherever he appeared, so that it was no longer possible to avoid giving him a police escort. In total, no fewer than six police cars escorted him.
