Nigerian content creator Kuye Adegoke, popularly known as Egungun of Lagos, has responded after coming under fire for his short interview with American streamer IShowSpeed during the latter’s visit to Lagos.

The now-viral clip, recorded on January 22, 2026, shows Egungun attempting to engage the 21-year-old streamer, Darren Watkins Jr, during a chaotic public outing that drew hundreds of excited fans.

In the video, Egungun asks Speed about his age and reacts with visible surprise when the streamer confirms he is 21, commenting on how “strong and healthy” he looks.

The brief but tense moment quickly circulated online and provoked a wave of commentary.

Following the online criticism, Egungun took to his social media page to share his side of the story.

He admitted that the situation was overwhelming and that the massive crowd surrounding IShowSpeed made the moment far more difficult than viewers assumed.

He stated: “No vex for me, it was tension.”

He noted that the security pressure around the streamer, who had become the center of attention across Lagos, made it nearly impossible for anyone to get a calm, uninterrupted moment to conduct a proper interview.
