Streaming star IShowSpeed gifted a blind fan a brand-new iPhone during his trip to Morocco, as it has better accessibility features for him as he’s growing as a TikToker.
Over the last few years, IShowSpeed has taken streaming success out of his home and started traveling the globe. The YouTube and Twitch streamer has toured across Europe, Southeast Asia, the United States, South America, the Middle East, and beyond.
His most recent streaming tour has taken him to Africa, something that he has been promising fans for years. Like his other big tours, the trip across Africa has been a big success too.
Speed has regularly said that his tours are about giving back. He likes to highlight places for fans that they might not get to visit themselves, he’s shone a spotlight on different cultures, and been able to meet fans along the way – routinely giving out gifts to his biggest supporters.
IShowSpeed gifts iPhone to blind TikToker at AFCON final
During his trip to the African Cup of Nations final in Rabat, Morocco, Speed met an 11-year-old fan who is blind and uses the iPhone 12’s accessibility features to navigate daily life.
After the pair barked at each other in signature Speed style, they were taken inside the stadium to have an even more personal moment, as the YouTuber handed over an iPhone 17 Pro for the fan.
“I know you use your phone with these features because you can’t see it. Imma give you an updated phone, which has better accessibility features,” he told the youngster.
The YouTube star also gave the fan some words of encouragement ahead of an upcoming surgery on his eyes.
“Get through it. You can do it, always stay strong. Even when it’s hard, don’t ever give up,” he added. “I promise you, it’s going to be ok at the end. As long as you don’t give it up, it’s always going to be ok.”
Speed’s trip to football games in Africa hasn’t been completely wholesome, however, as he and his security had bottles of water thrown at them in Algeria.
