YouTube sensation Darren Jason Watkins Jr, better known as iShowSpeed, brought his unique brand of chaos and entertainment to Malaysia during his Southeast Asia tour earlier this month
While the 19-year-old American streamer indulged in local culture — sampling everything from nasi lemak to durian — his visit took an unexpected turn when a fan reportedly snatched a couple of his hair plaits.
According to photos posted online, the overzealous fan seems to have grabbed Watkins' head and pulled out two braids. The fan is now selling the unique souvenir on Facebook Marketplace for just RM100,000.
Describing the "product" as "new", the seller claimed that the "handpicked" hair plaits are from the back of iShowSpeed's head
But the entrepreneurial spirit didn't stop there
The same individual has also listed a half-face MS88 helmet similar to the one that Watkins was seen wearing during his brief 'mat rempit' escapade for a jaw-dropping RM250,888.
The retail price of the helmet is RM52.
The combined price tag for these "collector's items" is a whopping RM350,888.
It's unclear whether the listings are genuine or simply a stunt aimed at capitalising on the American streamer's viral visit.
Reacting to the posts, netizens suggested that the seller should have asked Watkins to sign the helmet, adding that even then, RM20,000 would still be outrageous.
