In a move as unexpected as his viral antics, iShowSpeed has once again pulled off the impossible. After the Mona Lisa, if there is one face that got a massive showcase, it's his because the YouTuber has earned himself quite a 'long' shoutout. That's right, his face was projected onto the famous Chongqing Eye Ferris Wheel in China. Spinning at 10 revolutions per hour, it is now a part of the city, right there for the world to admire.
This is a 'larger than life' honor for the young YouTuber that is enough to move his mom and Ronaldo to tears. Imagine being a resident in Chongqing and going out with your family to the amusement park and having a good time, only to look up and see a massive picture of a grinning American staring back at you. It is both fascinating and confusing if you don't already know who iShowSpeed is.
But why did iShowSpeed receive this honor? And that too in China of all the places? The famous 'Chongqing Eye' Ferris Wheel displayed multiple pictures of Speed on April 3, a day after the YouTuber visited the Happy Valley amusement park. It could be assumed that the organizers might have seen his infamous backflips and decided to express to him their sense of gratitude... just on a grander scale.
IShowSpeed trip to China has been quite eventful. He has been going around, making fans everywhere, who give him everything ranging from their admiration to their bananas. He is learning Kung Fu as well as Chinese songs with Super Idol and is just living everyone's dream life. Getting the shoutout from Chongqing has just added another feather to his career.
