Darren “IShowSpeed”recently wrapped up his YouTube stream on April 21, 2025, with an exciting hint regarding future collaborations, referring to them as “bangers.”This lively session, which included a talent show hosted on his Discord channel, lasted for five and a half hours. Toward the conclusion, IShowSpeed suggested that he might be taking a hiatus from streaming, leaving fans buzzing with curiosity.
Having returned to online broadcasting after his viral IRL tour in China on April 20, IShowSpeed has ambitious plans for a special stream in celebration of reaching 40 million subscribers on YouTube, which includes a surprising “wing walking”stunt on a flying plane. His recent hints about upcoming collaborations have incited speculation among his loyal fanbase.
Upcoming Break and Exciting Collaborations Ahead
During his April 21 stream, IShowSpeed candidly communicated his need for downtime:
“I’m taking a little break, chat. I won’t be back for a little minute. I am sorry. Chat, I won’t be seeing you all chat. I will be taking a little break. I have business to do. I love you all, boys. I will be back.”

As the stream progressed, IShowSpeed reassured his audience about the exciting content to come, hinting that some collaborations are already in the works:
“Alright chat, love you all boys man. I will be back when I’m back, you all. I promise you all, we’ve got some bangers coming up and banger sh*t got confirmed today. Shout out to these winners, man. And last but not least, today it got confirmed you all. Just letting you all know.”
Speculation Around Collaborations with Elon Musk’s X
Despite not revealing specifics, IShowSpeed’s reference to “bangers”has led to rampant speculation among his followers. A particularly tantalizing rumor involves a potential collaboration with Elon Musk’s X platform. For context, IShowSpeed has previously expressed interest in streaming alongside Musk.
In a December 2024 interview, he remarked:
“One day I want to do a stream in space, once I get in contact with Elon Musk.”
While a cosmic venture with Elon Musk is an exciting prospect, fans are also eager for IShowSpeed to collaborate with his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. Their connection was highlighted when MrBeast included them in the same group chat a few months back, leading many to speculate that a collaboration with the renowned Portuguese soccer star could be one of the “bangers”IShowSpeed is hinting at in his broadcasts.
