Turki Al-Sheikh Approaches IShowSpeed for New Project
A recent video has emerged showcasing a proposal made to popular YouTuber IShowSpeed by Turki Al-Sheikh, a prominent figure in the Saudi Arabian government. The project aims to rival the scale of renowned content creator MrBeast’s productions.
This initiative comes as MrBeast enjoys unprecedented success with the largest show available on Amazon, in addition to holding the title of the most subscribed YouTuber. Presenting a project that can compete with his influence represents a significant challenge.
Al-Sheikh’s Contribution to Riyadh’s Entertainment Scene
Turki Al-Sheikh has been instrumental in transforming Riyadh’s entertainment landscape, facilitating high-profile events such as the Esports World Cup and the highly anticipated boxing match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Now, he is reaching out to Speed, an internet sensation, to collaborate on something unprecedented.

“We need to do something crazy next Riyadh season,” Al-Sheikh stated, emphasizing the ambition to exceed the achievements of MrBeast.
IShowSpeed: A Growing Sensation
The attention on IShowSpeed comes as no surprise, given his status as a leading figure among YouTubers. Although he has 33 million subscribers—which pales in comparison to MrBeast’s over 300 million—his influence is undeniable. During his world tour in 2024, his presence led to massive gatherings, resulting in street closures as fans flocked to catch a glimpse of him.

The Decision Ahead for IShowSpeed
Despite the enticing offer, IShowSpeed has yet to make any commitments. Al-Sheikh’s invitation allows him the flexibility to propose any creative concepts he envisions, but there remains no assurance of his participation.
Given Speed’s passion for sports, particularly his admiration for football star Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems plausible that a sporting event could be in the works should he decide to accept the proposal from Al-Sheikh.
Concerns Surrounding Saudi Arabia’s Reputation
However, there are factors that might dissuade him from proceeding. Saudi Arabia has faced considerable scrutiny concerning human rights issues, particularly in light of the country’s attempts to build Riyadh into a global entertainment hub, often referred to as sportswashing.
The Saudi government has secured significant investments in major sports clubs and events worldwide, demonstrating a strong focus on esports in 2024. Turki Al-Sheikh’s outreach to Speed could potentially represent a shift toward influencer-driven initiatives in 2025.
