On January 21, 2024, IShowSpeed surprised everyone with an unprecedented level of emotional response.
What caused such excitement on the internet was when the athlete, whose lifelong inspiration has been Cristiano Ronaldo, received a birthday shout-out from him.
A Message That Changed Everything
It all started mid-flight, somewhere over South America.
As I journeyed through Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador, live-streaming my gaming sessions for my fans, an Instagram message stopped me in my tracks: it was utterly unbelievable.
“Happy Birthday, Speed! 🎉 Hope your day was great. Stay wild and fast!”
The straightforward yet emotionally resonant post swiftly captured the attention of internet users, earning more than 2 million likes in just a few hours. This impressive feat placed it as the second most popular comment on Instagram, with its like count currently surpassing 3 million.
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo himself had spoken. The internet went wild, and Speed?
In his own words, IShowSpeed shares the heartwarming story of waking up to a birthday greeting from football icon, Ronaldo, on Instagram. Overwhelmed by the gesture, he shed tears upon realizing who had sent him this special message.

The moment he landed in Argentina, he couldn’t hold back his emotions.
Filled with intense happiness, he couldn’t help but shed tears at the airport. However, he swiftly gathered himself and marked the occasion in a manner typical of Speed, expressing his joy in a way that was uniquely his own.
“I literally screamed and did a backflip in the middle of the airport!”
A Birthday To Remember
On his twentieth birthday, instead of slowing down from the excitement, he extended his celebrations by streaming live for more than three hours as he explored the city streets of Buenos Aires.
Hundreds of fans joined him, cheering and celebrating as he soaked in the atmosphere.

Without a hint of orderliness, what makes a Speed Birthday so exciting? He was indulged with not just one, but two towering birthday cakes, which he gleefully displayed on Instagram.
Or, more casually:
A Speed Birthday is all about the commotion! Instead of one cake, he got two gigantic ones to celebrate. He couldn’t resist sharing them on Instagram.
However, the most amusing incident was orchestrated by his girlfriend when she playfully slammed a smaller cake onto his face, causing audiences to erupt with laughter.
“This is insane. CR7 told me Happy Birthday!”
Experiencing Speed’s epic 20th birthday bash, I couldn’t help but feel awestruck by the heartfelt messages, throngs of fans pouring into the streets, and the hilarious cake-related escapades – it was nothing short of legendary!
This instance felt like a complete journey back to the start for someone initially admiring Cristiano Ronaldo, underscoring just how much he’s achieved in his career.
This is one birthday Speed will be talking about for years to come.
