On April 20, 2026, he officially announced that he will be touring 15 Caribbean islands including St Vincent and the Grenadines. The 21-year- old kicked off the tour with visits to Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada and Barbados. While he visited those countries on three separate days, IShowSpeed visited St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines in one day.
IShowSpeed, affectionately known as Speed, arrived at the Argyle International Airport from St Lucia via an Expedia Gulfstream aircraft and live streamed on the island for approximately two hours and 10 minutes.
With 53 million people watching live, Speed was greeted by Vincentian Soca entertainer and songwriter Gamal ‘Skinny Fabulous’ Doyle, who welcomed him to the mainland on the aircraft as night had begun to close in.
“They say better late than never. We’re happy that you’re here. [We] know you had a little down time in St Lucia. You stayed a little long but we’re here to make the best of what, maybe, two hours. We are going to show you what Vincy is like in two hours.”
Skinny Fabulous then serenaded IShowSpeed with his “favorite” song Famalay, which was produced by Skinny, Machel Montano, and Ian ‘Bunji Garlin’ Alvarez.
