ISHOWSPEED SHOCKS WEEHAWKEN WITH SURPRISE SPRINT SHOWDOWN — AND 41 MILLION FANS WATCHED

In a wild, unannounced appearance that lit up the Weehawken Waterfront, global YouTube sensation iShowSpeed stormed into town and challenged fellow creator Daniel LaBelle to an impromptu 80-meter sprint — and streamed the whole thing live.

Known for his explosive energy and unpredictable antics, Speed turned a quiet afternoon into a spectacle, drawing a crowd as cameras rolled and fans watched in real time. The two creators raced twice. Speed dominated both heats, showing off the athleticism that’s helped him stand out in a crowded influencer world.

But the real fireworks came after the finish line — Speed hit 41 million YouTube subscribers mid-stream, marking a major career milestone live in front of fans. He celebrated the moment with his signature intensity and teased even bigger projects on the horizon, including a new music video and surprise collabs.
