According to sources, IShowSpeed claims to have a daughter; however, it remains uncertain whether he actually does.

Skeptics suggest otherwise and believe that this might be a ploy to prove that he actually isn’t gay. One source claims that the streamer had the child when he was only 16 years old when he began uploading his videos online. There were speculations that iShowSpeed was a father before he gained fame as a fast-rising YouTube streamer. But people still doubt it for different reasons.

Firstly, iShowSpeed was born in 2005, which, as mentioned before, means he would have been a teenager when the rumors started. This is not very common. Additionally, no concrete details regarding his alleged daughter have been disclosed, and she has not been present on his social media platforms. iShowSpeed has said that he has a daughter on his channel and has included girls in videos that claim to be his daughter, but his reputation for trolling has led to questions about the truth of these claims.

He revealed that her name was Diamond and said he could see and hear her on her tablet, but didn't show her to the audience. In April 2022, he said that he lives with his mother, two siblings, and daughter. He uploaded a video in June 2022, titled his daughter, that featured a little girl on the internet. Some fans believe Speed is trolling, while others believe he has a daughter but chooses to keep her life private.
