CINCINNATI, OHIO: Darren Watkins, known as IShowSpeed, engaged viewers with a captivating 5.30-hour livestream that took an unexpected turn. 

Panic ensued when he accidentally revealed his phone number. This incident followed his playful reference to fans as 'IShowMeat' after an earlier livestream mishap where he unintentionally exposed his private part, leading to the trending hashtag 'IShowMeat'.
