As such, Instagram’s most-liked photos list is usually dominated by athletes, pop stars, and other celebrities. Messi currently holds the title with his World Cup-winning photo, which finally beat out the World Record Egg. The Argentine footballer, along with Cristiano Ronaldo, both have seven entries in the top 20 list. While IShowSpeed’s post is nowhere near them, those 14 million likes do mean his post is 46th on the list, just below The Rock’s wedding photo, which is currently at 13.9 million.
“Most liked post by a YouTuber EVER”: Fans celebrate as IShowSpeed’s Instagram post with Cristiano Ronaldo reaches 14 million likes
Fans of Darren will know his obsession with the Portuguese footballer, and for those who need context, the 18-year-old YouTuber has been idolizing him for quite some time. Not only is he known to call out other players, such as Messi, on social media, but the Ohio native has also rapped about Ronaldo in a song called “Sewey.”
IShowSpeed has also traveled worldwide in the hope of meeting the star athlete, going to specific Portugal matches during the Qatar World Cup and even to England to see Manchester United play. When the player moved to Al-Nassr, the YouTuber was heartbroken but still managed to watch him play in Saudi Arabia.
So when the streamer finally got the chance to meet and interact with Cristiano Ronaldo last month at Portugal vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina UEFA Euro Qualifiers, it was a huge deal for IShowSpeed. It was a long time coming, and fans were equally thrilled. The YouTube video showcasing their brief but emotional meeting also has over 14 million views.
Naturally, his other social media posts also started gaining traction, with the Instagram post garnering millions of likes. With the likes finally reaching 14 million, fans of the YouTuber have shown their appreciation on social media, with many stating that the young creator deserves all the attention.
