FACT CHECK ❌

Claims circulating on social media suggesting that Kireko, a player for Ninde, has passed away are false.

❌ Claim that IShowSpeed arrived in Burundi on 12 January 2026 is deep fake.
✅ The images circulating online were generated using artificial intelligence (AI).

In recent days, images have circulated widely on social media claiming that the American internet personality and streamer IShowSpeed was in . These visuals caused confusion among many users and were shared as proof of his alleged visit.

However, a verification by Yaga found that the images were not authentic. A close analysis shows that they were AI-generated and do not reflect a real event. At the time these images were spreading, IShowSpeed was verifiably in Kenya, not Burundi.

IShowSpeed is a popular American content creator known for live-streaming video games and entertainment content. He gained even more global attention in 2023 after meeting football star Cristiano Ronaldo and recreating his famous “SIU” celebration in a video that amassed millions of views.

On 29 December 2025, IShowSpeed officially announced a tour across 25 African countries titled “Speed Does Africa.” According to the publicly shared itinerary, the countries visited so far include South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Kenya. Burundi is not on the confirmed list of destinations.

There is no credible evidence that IShowSpeed visited Burundi. The claim is based on AI-manipulated images, which misled social media users. As always, the public is encouraged to verify information from reliable sources before sharing it online.
