The YouTuber\u2019s encounter with his Zimbabwean lookalike during his Speed Does Africa tour is going viral online. The stark facial similarities between the two have left fans stunned. However, it\u2019s Speed\u2019s hilarious reaction that has sparked a laughter fest online.<\/p>\n<p>Fans react to IShowSpeed meeting his lookalike in viral clip<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">IShowSpeed\u2019s meeting with his Zimbabwean doppleganger is leaving fans in stitches. The 20-year-old\u2019s visit to Zimbabwe, a destination of his Speed Does Africa tour, is filled with exciting moments. One such instance that has taken the internet by storm is of Speed meeting his lookalike, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mudiwa.jani\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mudiwa Jani;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mudiwa Jani<\/a>, at Harare\u2019s Mbare Art Space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The viral exchange, caught on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IShowSpeedHQ\/status\/2008909700511699210?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:livestream;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">livestream<\/a>, begins with the content creator and Jani coming face to face before Jani asks, \u201cAre you chat?\u201d The dumfounded Speed can be seen asking the crowd and his audience, \u201cwho is this n**ga? Chat, who the f*ck is this?\u201d Spectators cheer as the creator and his doppleganger lock eyes (literally) in a screaming face-off. A frustrated Speed tells Jani, \u201cYou ain\u2019t the real Speed, bro\u201d. Paying no heed to his remarks, Jani picks up the national flag before shouting \u201cZimbabwe! Zimbabwe!\u201d as the crowd joins him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When Speed questions his identity again, lookalike Jani tells him he\u2019s his brother. He even asks Speed to call up his mom before he starts blabbering and ignores any further questions. The seemingly frustrated internet sensation calls Jani \u201cfake\u201d, pointing out how he can\u2019t even do a backflip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The exchange gets even more hilarious when the duo stands in front of the camera and asks IShowSpeed\u2019s fanbase, \u201cChat, do we look alike?\u201d They even question each other, asking, \u201cDo we?\u201d Further adding to the situation\u2019s hilarity, Speed\u2019s own bodyguard confuses his lookalike for him while trying to end the comical confrontation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fan reactions to the epic banter flooded X (formerly Twitter) in no time. \u201cAnd in this moment he knew ah shit i can\u2019t backflip\u201d, one fan <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iamalphajallow\/status\/2008960524827164852\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:tweeted;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cSpeed bodyguard be mixing the real speed up\u201d, another <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DivvyBet\/status\/2008956669745664302\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:commented;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">commented<\/a>. \u201cThat is hilarious.
