Darren “IShowSpeed,”a prominent figure in the world of IRL streaming, recently shared an exciting plan to celebrate his upcoming milestone of 40 million YouTube subscribers. He is contemplating the thrilling activity known as “wing walking,”which involves an individual traversing the wings of a moving airplane at significant heights.
As of now, IShowSpeed boasts an impressive 39.1 million subscribers on YouTube, a testament to his growing popularity. His fanbase has expanded rapidly, largely due to his energetic and engaging streaming style, coupled with a series of extensive tours around the globe, including a recent multi-week journey through China and Mongolia.
Fan Engagement: Should IShowSpeed Take the Leap?
During a recent live broadcast, while previewing footage from a “wing walking”stunt, IShowSpeed turned to his audience and posed a question that has sparked excitement among his fans:
“I was thinking, chat, what’s that thing called when they like, fly on top of a plane? They like deada** fly on top of a plane… It’s wing walking! Chat, I was thinking of wing walking! For the forty million.”
Known for his unique and often daring celebratory approaches on YouTube, IShowSpeed has previously engaged in high-octane stunts, including a remarkable feat where he jumped over two luxury supercars in August 2024. Now, as he approaches the momentous 40 million subscriber mark, he appears eager to elevate the celebrations with “wing walking.”
On April 20, 2025, in a particularly energetic moment, he asked his viewers:
“Should we do it? For my forty million?… Yes or no? D**n, this looks insane! Hold on, this looks insane!”
In addition to his upcoming celebration, IShowSpeed also reflected on a memorable encounter with the legendary action star Jackie Chan during his China tour. Interestingly, despite the significance of the meeting, he admitted there is no photographic evidence of their interaction, expressing relief that no picture was taken.
The combination of IShowSpeed’s charismatic personality and daring stunts keeps his followers engaged and excited for what’s to come as he gears up for this monumental milestone. As fans eagerly await to see if he will take the plunge into the world of “wing walking,”the anticipation grows, further solidifying his position as a beloved figure in the streaming community.
