If you’re in the NBA 2K community, you’ve probably heard of the emerging streamer IShowSpeed. But there is a chance that you know him from his videos that went viral on either TikTok or Twitter.

That is just a snippet of how Ishowspeed blew up on Youtube. One of the reasons for his success; is also the streamer’s continuous dedication to his twitch streams.
On a good day, Darren admitted that he made around $75 to $200 per stream depending on the length of his streams. But, from his last Youtube Stream, Darren made more than $2000 in a matter of 2 hours. It was all the result of the hype that his channel managed to create the past week.

IshowSpeed Wiki – Parents & Siblings
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, IShowSpeed has yet to reveal more regarding his personal life to his fans. Darren has sometimes talked about his mother & father on his streams, but other than that, we are left with nothing informational.
Currently, he is staying with his parents at their home in Cincinnati. If you’ve watched one of Darren’s latest streams, you can hear his mother asking him to lower his voice.
YouTube and Streaming, no doubt, are something that parents these days have a hard time understanding. And, so is the case with Darren’s parents too. But with time and his increasing popularity, we hope they will be supportive of Darren and his career.
IshowSpeed Girlfriend
Darren introduced his girlfriend to his fans in his recent stream. IshowSpeed’s girlfriend is Ermony Renee. She is also from Cincinnati, Ohio, and is attending Walnut Hills High School.
Ishowspeed shared that he met Ermony at the UDF and asked her for her Instagram. Later, that night he DM’d here and rest; is in the making.
But, although Darren looks all loved up now, he has had a bad experience in love previously. In one of his recent videos, Darren talked about being cheated by his girlfriend. He expresses how he was left heartbroken, due to the incident.
IshowSpeed Daughter & Baby Mama
As usual, most of the information we have on Ishowspeed is from him spilling the beans on his streams. So, regarding IshowSpeed having a daughter, is also something he once mentioned on stream.
Other than that, neither has Darren ever talked about her nor shared any details related to his ‘possible daughter.’ But his followers on Twitter have sometimes mentioned the fact that Ishowspeed has a daughter,
On May 5, 2021, one Twitter user wrote,
Aye speed I love you name keep up the great work fu*k these haters, focus on you and yo daughter that’s all that matters
