American online streamer, Darren Watkins Jr., popularly known as IShowSpeed, shared a light-hearted moment with Seyi Tinubu, son of President Tinubu, and his family during the 2026 FIFA World Cup final Sunday.
A clip from the streamer’s livestream showed Seyi Tinubu, dressed in a Spain jersey, seated in the VIP section with his children and other family members as Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time to win the FIFA World Cup.
Earlier in the day, IShowSpeed entertained fans during the tournament’s closing ceremony with a performance of his latest single, World Cup (Champions), accompanied by drummers and dancers.
During the livestream, a man accompanying Seyi Tinubu informed the popular content creator that the president’s son was in attendance.
IShowSpeed then walked over to greet the family, posed for photographs with the children and exchanged pleasantries with Seyi Tinubu.
“It is nice meeting you,” Seyi Tinubu told the American streamer after they shook hands.
The encounter ended on a humorous note when IShowSpeed joked, “Tell your dad to get me a Nigerian passport,” drawing laughter from those around before continuing with his livestream.
The playful remark came months after IShowSpeed’s widely publicised visit to Nigeria during his Speed Does Africa tour, where he received an enthusiastic welcome from fans.
During his stay in Lagos, the 21-year-old YouTuber livestreamed visits to popular attractions, including Lagos Island, Freedom Park and the Nike Art Gallery.
He also met Nigerian music stars Davido and Zlatan Ibile and celebrated his 21st birthday in the country.
