IShowSpeed (Speed for short), one of the United States' most popular online streamers, visited Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) on 4 January 2026 as part of his 'Speed Does Africa' livestream tour. While in the neighbouring country, he visited a sangoma, who provided insight about his future.

Born Darren Jason Watkins Jr, Speed entered a village and was shown a hut, which his tour guide stated was the village's hospital. Inside sat a 'doctor,' as referred to by the guide, which many would call a traditional or spiritual healer.

The 20-year-old, award-winning online personality asked the man in the hut what his future looked like in 10 years. The sangoma threw his bones and shells onto a mat, prompting Speed to ask:
