The YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” regularly meets with well-known celebrities to draw attention to himself and his videos. In his latest stunt, he met with the football god Neymar Jr. Not only a YouTube video was created, but also a TikTok clip.

How did the video come about? The YouTube streamer was a guest at a match between PSG and Al-Nassr in Osaka. After the game, the streamer was invited to the team’s hotel, where he had the opportunity to briefly meet Brazilian star Neymar. And he didn’t miss this chance.
