American streaming sensation IShowSpeed left the internet in stitches after a jaw-dropping moment during his recent live stream in Ethiopia. What started as a casual conversation with a local guide quickly turned into one of the funniest culture-shock clips fans have seen all year.
While exploring the country, Speed was told something he absolutely did not expect: Ethiopia doesn’t follow the same calendar system used by most of the world. According to the Ethiopian calendar, the year isn’t 2026—it’s 2018.
At first, Speed thought it was a joke.
“No, bro… it’s 2026 everywhere,” he insisted, clearly confident he had the facts on his side. But the local guide calmly doubled down, explaining that Ethiopia operates on its own ancient calendar, which runs about seven to eight years behind the Gregorian calendar.
That’s when everything spiraled into comedy gold.
“Bro… you just became eight years younger,” the guide said casually.
Speed laughed—until the guide took it a step further.
“You’re 21, right? Congrats. You’re 13 now. Because here… we’re in 2018.”
Speed froze.
Confused, shocked, and slowly losing his mind, Speed tried to process what this meant. As realization set in, he leaned fully into the moment, joking that he had traveled back in time.
“So Fortnite just came out… oh my gosh,” he said.
“Ronaldo is still in Real Madrid… everything is in the past here.”
By that point, Speed was completely gone, repeating in disbelief, “In 2018, I was 13. So I’m 13 years old now.”
The clip instantly went viral, with fans praising the local guide’s deadpan delivery and Speed’s genuine confusion. Beyond the laughs, the moment also sparked curiosity online, with many viewers learning for the first time that Ethiopia follows a unique calendar system rooted in ancient history and tradition.
What was meant to be a simple livestream turned into a viral lesson in culture, time, and internet humor—proving once again that when Speed travels, anything can happen. 🤯😂💔
