IShowSpeed Pulled Over For Sunroof Stunt

IShowSpeed’s post-match celebration in Miami took a quick detour into roadside common sense after police pulled the streamer over for standing through the sunroof of a moving car.

The incident happened after Portugal’s World Cup match against Colombia, which ended in a draw. Speed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., had left Miami Stadium with his crew, stopped for food, and then continued on before a police cruiser spotted the stunt and activated its lights.

Why did police pull over IShowSpeed in Miami?

Footage from Speed’s livestream showed the moment his group realized they were being pulled over. As the officer approached, someone in the vehicle could be heard saying, “Pull over. Pull over. You know what they’re going to say, don’t you?”

The officer then walked up to the line of vehicles stopped on the roadside and greeted the group: “Okay, gentlemen, how are you all doing?”

Some of the audio immediately after that is unclear in the clip, but the officer’s warning came through clearly enough: “[It’s] extremely unsafe. I understand y’all are trying to party. You can’t do that.”

Speed replied, “Oh, we ain’t trying to party,” before lowering himself back down through the sunroof and sitting inside the vehicle. A minor victory for gravity, at least.

Was IShowSpeed given a ticket?

Based on the livestream footage, Speed does not appear to have received a ticket or any other penalty during the traffic stop.

When the officer asked whether anyone had questions, another person in the vehicle answered, “No, sir.” Speed then said, “Thank you, officer. Good night, officer,” and the group continued on.

The relevant part of the stream begins at around 5:07:15, showing the stop and the brief exchange with police.

Speed has had previous police warnings

This Miami stop appears to have ended quietly, but it is not the first time Speed’s very public life has crossed paths with law enforcement.

Last year in Dallas, police warned that they could pursue a rioting charge after thousands of fans poured into the streets during one of his meetups. In 2023, he was also warned that he could face a felony after accidentally calling emergency services while livestreaming.

For a creator whose appeal is built on high-energy, unpredictable moments, the line between spectacle and safety is not exactly subtle. This time, police seemed to settle for a warning and a reminder that sunroofs are not designed as mobile balconies.
