American influencer and streamer IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr., was the target of racist attacks from Argentine fans during the World Cup match between Argentina and Egypt. The 21-year-old, known for his irreverent style and intense reactions, has over 50 million Instagram followers and has been creating content from stadiums throughout the tournament. This is not the first such incident, as Speed was also subjected to racist abuse during Argentina's match against Cabo Verde in the round of 16, which led to FIFA opening an investigation.
