IShowSpeed tries ‘Indian drink’ during collaboration with Daler Mehndi
IShowSpeed gained widespread attention after meeting Daler Mehndi, a singer he admires for his iconic song 'Tunak Tunak'. This led to a collaboration where IShowSpeed was offered a popular but unidentified white-colored Indian beverage. Some fans speculated it to be 'lassi' or 'buttermilk', while others simply called it 'milk'.
In the video, Speed's reluctance to drink the beverage was quite apparent. He was joined by Daler Mehndi and a group of playful kids at the singer's residence. They playfully encouraged Speed to drink more, insisting it was good for his health, with some claiming it was homemade.
When Speed hesitated before taking the first sip, he asked, "Is it good or bad?" Daler Mehndi assured him it was good for health and homemade. The children continued to urge him, saying, "Have more, it's good for you."
Notably, Speed's facial expressions made it clear he wasn't enjoying the taste. Despite not particularly enjoying it, he relished the collaboration with Daler Mehndi, singing the ‘Tunak Tunak’ song together. This engagement resonated with his impressive following of 21 million on YouTube.
