Reports from Central Oslo Wednesday 3 July at 23:34
Youtube star IShowSpeed broadcast live from Norway on Wednesday evening.
He has over 25 million subscribers on YouTube and over 27 million followers on TikTok.
35,000 waited before the stream began. At 22.20, over 200,000 people followed the broadcast.
IShowSpeed streamed from downtown Oslo, where he quickly received a Fast Lunch from a fan.
Then he went into a tourist shop. He then bought a Viking helmet, hammer and shield.
Just ten minutes after the YouTube celebrity started the stream, a crowd gathered outside the store – which was closed.
– The worst country
Outside, youths were knocking on the glass door. Eventually the glass was broken.
– We’re fucking locked in a Norwegian souvenir shop, said IShowSpeed on the stream.
– Norway is the worst country. This is too good.
At 22.20 he was taken out of the shop and into a waiting car.
Oslo police told VG they were not aware of the visit in advance.
– We are present to monitor the situation and see that everything is going well, operations manager Thomas Kahn told VG.
– There are a few hundred people there.
– Do you have control?
– Control and discipline, Mrs Blom. There are some young people outside the shop, and we are there.
But it is no surprise to the star that he is very popular and creates chaos wherever he travels.
