American star youtuber IShowSpeed is in Budapest! – VIDEO, PHOTOS
The 19-year-old American star Youtuber, IShowSpeed (Darren Jason Watkins Jr.) barked at a dog and almost got in a fight with her, then went to a mall where many random fans followed him. He also listened to some Hungarian music. Then he tried traditional Hungarian goulash soup and even did a backflip in front of a Danube restaurant. Meanwhile, he continuously tapped his phone and never stopped moving. On top of that, he live-streamed all this.
IShowSpeed learned Hungarian and distributed Negro candies
IShowSpeed is in Hungary’s capital, Budapest, and started his camera soon after his arrival. That was bad news for a dog silently staring around not far from the Mammut mall in Buda. The American YouTuber went next to her and started barking, which the dog did not like, so he almost bit him while her owner asked the influencer to go away.
After the awkward moment, he bumped into a guy wearing the same T-shirt as him. Then somebody gave him a Negro, a traditional Hungarian candy, which he started to distribute to random people on the street and in the mall.
He started to learn some Hungarian words like “F*ck off”, and the Hungarian version of “You’re beautiful as hell”, but unfortunately called a random girl a whore, so he stopped that.
In the mall, he bought some shoes and perfumes for his fans he found stinky. By that time, he already had many people around him, most of them trying to take a selfie with the American YouTube star.
He visited the biggest “Romanian castle” in Budapest
From the Mammut mall, he drove to the Buda Castle, where he got some presents from his fans. There, he met Balázs Kicks (Balázs Pachert, 20), the head of a successful Hungarian sneaker store, who gave him some exquisite footwear. Below is his Instagram post. Read more about his success story HERE.

In front of the Buda Castle Matthias Church, one of the symbols of Budapest and Hungary, he said he would go inside “the biggest castle in Romania”. Then he denied he said Romania.
He was astonished by the view at the Fisherman’s Bastion. Then he jumped back to the car and listened to an Azahriah hit, which he ranked 7/10. Afterwards, he put a Danika House in the music player, which made him shout.
Traditional music and goulash soup near the Danube
Afterwards, he arrived in Pest, where he continued his journey at the Saint Stephen’s Cathedral. By then, lots of people followed him, so he shouted at them to give him way.
He went to a traditional Hungarian restaurant near the Danube, where he listened to Hungarian music and even sat down for a while but did not finish shouting. He wanted to give a tip to the musicians but, firstly, he did not know that we paid in Hungarian forint here, and secondly, he did not have cash. But people around him helped him with some money, so he could give the musicians approximately HUF 40 thousand (EUR 100).
Then he got his goulash soup, which he tried with bread following his fans’ recommendation. He promised to do a backflip if he liked the soup. “This sh*t is so good”, he said. And he did the backflip while shouting goulash.
Some people did not like he was there
When he wanted to leave the restaurant, a woman showed him her middle finger, which made him really angry. She said she wanted to have dinner. “She put the middle finger to me”, he said, while a man said they just tried to have dinner, but the shouting continued, which probably disturbed the people sitting and eating around that table.
Finally, the bodyguards had to escort him out of the crowd.
