On May 8, global Twitch Streamer/Content Creator IShowSpeed visited Jamaica as a part of his successful Caribbean Tour. Speed previously visited Barbados, Trinidad, Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe, Grenada, and St. Lucia to name a few, and the stop in Jamaica was very anticipated. The stream has since amassed over 3 Million views, and is the talk of the world. From culture, to music, to food, Speed got a taste of the Jamaican hospitality, and lifestyle. For those new to Jamaica, we want to highlight a few key moments and personalities from the stream.
Speed Meeting Yendi Phillipps
IShowSpeed’s first stop in his Jamaica Tour found him being guided by Yendi Phillipps. Phillipps is a former Miss Jamaica World (2007), Miss Jamaica Universe (2010), a Miss Universe 1st Runner Up (2010), and has represented Jamaica in not only beauty, but in the Media as a Personality. Phillipps welcomed Speed to Jamaica, and educated him on the Island’s Art, History, Dance, and Traditional Music.
Speed Trying Jamaican KFC
When it came to food, Speed’s first stop was at KFC. KFC in the Caribbean has been highly rated since its inception in the 1970s, with Jamaica holding the top spot for many. Having previously the meals from other Islands, it was Speed’s turn to know if the hype was real, or it was an “L”. After the taste test, Jamaican KFC is #1.

Upon visiting the Haile Selassie High School, Speed was welcomed by International Dancehall Artist, Sean Paul. Sean Paul is a Platinum-selling, GRAMMY-winning Artist who commanded the 2000s with hits like “Like Glue“, “Gimme Di Light“, “Temperature“, and extended his success over the years with collaboration with SIA, Dua Lipa, Migos, Beyonce, Keyshia Cole, and many others.
