American YouTuber and live streamer IShowSpeed, one of the world’s most watched digital content creators, has captured global attention by announcing that he will observe fasting during Ramadan 2026, winning the hearts of millions of Muslim fans worldwide.
IShowSpeed revealed he is going to fast during Ramadan in a live stream that quickly went viral, with the announcement garnering over 90,000 views on social media within hours. The 20-year-old content creator, who boasts over 30 million YouTube subscribers, shared his excitement for the holy month and explained its deeper significance to his audience.
The famous broadcaster announced that he would be fasting during Ramadan and said that he was inspired by the star of the football world, Mohamed Salah, on how to manage this process. During his live broadcast, Speed expressed genuine curiosity and admiration for Muslim athletes who maintain peak performance while fasting.
“I really can’t comprehend how Salah plays those matches during Ramadan. He needs to explain that system to me. Coming out after suhoor and scoring goals is on another level,” he humorously called out to the star footballer, showcasing both his signature humor and sincere respect for the tradition.
Speed’s announcement is particularly significant given his massive global platform. During the stream, he took time to explain Ramadan’s core values, discipline, patience, and empathy, encouraging those around him to understand the spiritual depth of the holy month.
IShowSpeed also wished everyone a Happy Ramadan, a gesture that resonated deeply with his Muslim fanbase across Pakistan, the Middle East, and beyond.
This isn’t Speed’s first connection with Islam. He has previously shown respect for Muslim cultures during his world tour streams, earning him a dedicated following among Muslim youth globally. His decision to fast during Ramadan 2026, which began on February 18 in Saudi Arabia, has been celebrated as a beautiful gesture of solidarity, understanding, and cross-cultural appreciation.
