It’s hard to steal headlines from the Olympic Games Paris 2024, but leave it to IShowSpeed to pull it off.
Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known as IShowSpeed, live-streamed himself jumping over a Lamborghini and a McLaren back-to-back after users questioned the authenticity of his previous stunt where he jumped over his one-of-a-kind Cristiano Ronaldo-painted Lamborghini last week.
Despite some still questioning the authenticity of the live-streamed version, it seems legitimate, especially from this angle, assuming it’s not an AI-generated deep fake.

This stunt comes on the heels of his social media battle with the NFL’s fastest man, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Speed has challenged Hill to a race, adding to the excitement of his recent antics.
In the same day, Watkins Jr. not only challenged Hill but also pulled off an unreal Evil Knievel stunt by jumping over the two luxury cars.
Speed has built up his enormous social media and YouTube following (27.6 million on YouTube, 22.5 million on Instagram, and 28.7 million on TikTok) by being an agitator as well as a gamer and streaming influencer. Now he’s upping the ante with these kinds of stunts.
Oh, and Speed met his Lambo-inspired hero, global icon, and famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, last year.
IShowSpeed is laughing all the way to the bank, and as one caption aptly puts it, after the American men’s showing in the Paris Olympics, Team USA could definitely use his energy.
