Content creator Darren Watkins Jr., widely recognized as IShowSpeed, engaged in a playful exchange with Seyi Tinubu, the son of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, during the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday.
Footage captured during the streamer’s live broadcast shows Seyi Tinubu, dressed in a Spain jersey, sitting in the stadium’s VIP area with his family. This encounter occurred shortly after Spain secured a 1-0 victory over Argentina. Before this meeting, IShowSpeed participated in the event’s closing ceremony, performing his song, “World Cup (Champions).”
An associate of the Tinubu family introduced the streamer to the president’s son. Watkins approached the group, took photos with the children, and exchanged greetings with Seyi Tinubu. When they shook hands, the streamer jokingly requested, “Tell your dad to get me a Nigerian passport,” which prompted laughter from those nearby. This remark referenced the creator’s previous trip to Nigeria, where he toured Lagos, met local artists like Davido and Zlatan Ibile, and held his 21st birthday celebration.
