Story Highlights
Nigerian singer Simi took to Snapchat on January 22, 2026, to express confusion over how fans communicate with visiting American streamer IShowSpeed. She noted that excited crowds in Lagos seem to shout directly in his face rather than having normal conversations during his chaotic tour.
American streamer IShowSpeed has turned Lagos upside down with his arrival this week. The internet star is famous for his high energy and loud antics.
However, singer Simi has noticed a strange trend in how fans treat him. She went online to ask why everyone seems to be screaming at the tourist.
The singer calls for calm interactions
Simi shared her thoughts on social media after watching clips of the tour. She feels the interactions look more like shouting matches than chats.
”Why is it that everybody who is talking to him is shouting?” she asked fans. The singer finds the volume of the conversations baffling.
She noted that people yell even when they are standing right next to him. Simi pointed out that Speed can hear them perfectly fine without the noise.
”One guy was like, ‘Do it for Rolando!’ He is in front of you,” she laughed. “He can hear you.”
Simi joked that the aggressive energy might be overwhelming for the visitor. She hopes he is still enjoying the country despite the constant noise.
Chaos surrounds the Lagos tour
The streamer’s visit has been full of loud moments and wild crowds. Fans have swarmed him at every stop in the city.
This intense energy has caused some confusion among local content creators. The frenzy created a situation where Peller details how IShowSpeed ignored him three times despite grand gestures in Lagos.
Many fans felt bad for the local creator during that moment. The noise and crowds likely made it hard for Speed to see everyone.
Arguments started online about whether the snub was intentional or just an accident. The drama grew until Jarvis slams critics claiming IShowSpeed snubbed Peller in Lagos to defend her colleague.
Simi seems to believe the fans just want to show love. However, she thinks a lower volume would make the visit better for everyone.
It remains to be seen if the crowds will calm down as the tour continues. For now, the screaming seems to be part of the package.
