YouTube CEO personally gives IShowSpeed 10M Diamond Play Button

As a long-time follower of IShowSpeed, it’s been quite the rollercoaster ride watching his meteoric rise to fame. From his viral trips abroad to his over-the-top challenges and eye-popping feats, he’s truly become a household name in the streaming world.


YouTube’s Chief Executive Officer, Neal Mohan, hand-delivered the Play Button for reaching 10 million subscribers to internet sensation IShowSpeed in a gathering of content makers on October 17th.

IskeyShowSpeed is widely recognized as a popular online streamer due to his virally shared journeys overseas, extreme challenges, and jaw-dropping physical accomplishments.

In recent months, speed has experienced a significant surge in popularity. Concluding his Southeast Asian tour, he amassed more than 110 million total views, earning him the distinction as the top English-speaking live streamer globally.

Indeed, Speed amassed a following of 30 million subscribers while on his journey, with plans to explore the Middle East in the future. However, it’s only recently that he received the Play Button as recognition for his hard work and dedication.

The Diamond Play Button is presented to YouTube creators when they achieve 10 million subscribers. Once they’ve reached this milestone, they need to wait until they amass 50 million subscribers in order to receive their next recognition; the Custom Creator Award.

On the 17th of October, I had an unforgettable moment when I met up with YouTube’s CEO, Neal Mohan. He graciously posed for a picture with me as he presented me with my Diamond Play Button – a token of appreciation for hitting the 30 million subscriber milestone!

On that day, it wasn’t just Speed who had a chance to meet YouTube’s CEO; Mohan also got an opportunity to interact with MatPat, the renowned founder of Game Theory, who decided to step away from content creation in 2023.

Currently, neither Speed nor Mohan has made any public statement regarding their encounter; however, reactions among fans are divided. Some believe that Mohan’s action was tardy, while others view it favorably.

“Just 20 million subs late,” one viewer wrote on Twitter/X.

Connecting with the CEO… At last, Speed is receiving recognition he deserves on YouTube,” another commented.

In September 2024, Speed scored another significant victory after he was given a unique Prime Hydration flavor, and further impressed Olympic athlete Frederick Richard with his endeavor to break the world record for the highest number of backflips performed within a 24-hour span.
