IShowSpeed has confirmed that he has found the fan behind one of his most viral streaming moments and plans to host a broadcast with him on Fortnite this Sunday.

The streamer made the announcement during a recent live session, saying he had spent considerable time tracking down the person responsible for the now-famous “my mum’s kind of homeless” moment.

In the clip, originally from a Fortnite stream, the fan had tearfully said, “Please, Speed. I need this. My mom is kind of homeless... I live with my dad. I want to help her out.”

The moment went viral in 2022 after Speed struggled to contain his laughter mid-match, leading to a mix of amusement and criticism across the internet.

Speed told his audience, “We found the guy who said ‘my mom’s kind of homeless,’ and we will be doing a stream this week to confront him and hopefully he gives updates about his life. It took me so long to find this kid, bro. But we found him.”

According to Speed, the reunion stream is scheduled for Sunday, 26 October, and will take place over Fortnite. Fans are already anticipating the emotional and comedic dynamic between the two, as the original interaction became one of the most replayed clips in Speed’s streaming history.
