Atlanta: FIFA has launched a probe into alleged racist insults directed at the streamer known as IShowSpeed at last week’s World Cup match between Argentina and Cape Verde.
The global football body said in a post Tuesday on X that it was “made aware of an incident involving a supporter and #IShowSpeed at Miami Stadium during the Argentina vs Cabo Verde match on 3 July 2026 and immediately initiated an investigation.”
The African-American streamer, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, has over 57 million subscribers on YouTube, with tens of millions more on other video platforms.
