Streamer met Seyi Tinubu’s family in New Jersey after a World Cup performance
On Sunday, July 19, 2026, IShowSpeed met Seyi Tinubu and his family at the final in New Jersey. Earlier, he had performed at the closing ceremony. “Tell your dad to get me a Nigerian passport!” Speed joked. The moment drew loud laughs on the stream.
The viral exchange landed during a busy night for the streamer at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. A clip from his livestream showed Seyi Tinubu in a Spain shirt. He sat in the VIP section with his children and relatives.
IShowSpeed also opened the night’s entertainment with a closing ceremony performance. He performed his song, “Champions,” before the final began.
How the meeting unfolded
A man with Tinubu pointed out the president’s son before Speed walked over. The streamer greeted the family, posed for photos, and traded pleasantries with Seyi.
Seyi kept the exchange warm when he greeted the streamer.
“It is nice meeting you,” Seyi Tinubu said.
Speed answered with a joke before moving on.
“Tell your dad to get me a Nigerian passport!” Speed joked.
Why fans linked it to Nigeria
The joke landed because Speed has already built a Nigeria link. In January, he toured Lagos for his Speed Does Africa run. He visited Lagos Island, Freedom Park, and the Nike Art Gallery.
He also met Davido and Zlatan Ibile, and marked his 21st birthday there. That trip turned him into a familiar face for many Nigerian fans.
