Kenya’s sprint king, Ferdinand Omanyala, has thrown down the gauntlet to viral sensation iShowSpeed, signaling he’s open to a head-to-head showdown — but it won’t come cheap.

iShowSpeed, the popular YouTuber, and online streamer and entertainer known for his explosive energy and viral content, is currently touring Africa, performing in several countries and connecting with fans across the continent.

Fans are now left waiting — if iShowSpeed hits Kenya, the stage could be set for one of the most talked-about races in recent history.
