Request reason:

As Far as i can remember the reason for the block was because i made an article on either robux or roblox. It was extremely poorly made and grammar. Clearly your admins couldn't tell the difference between a kid in good fatih who had no idea how the site worked and an actual advertiser. If you actually try and understand it you'd see the person writing it was not very old. I don't want to edit on your garbage political shithole. All i want is an unblock so i can vanish my accountAllanCelikCraft (talk) 22:13, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Accounts are not unblocked to vanish, as doing so would allow users to evade sanctions and scrutiny. You are welcome to abandon your account. We don't know the identity of the person on the other end of the computer. Advertising isn't just done by professional advertisers. You were blocked four years ago; if you hadn't made this request, no one would have known. 331dot (talk) 23:59, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You have access to the posts. My username has multiple data breaches tied to it which is why i want to vanish.

Plus if i wanted to evade sanctions i could’ve had just created a new account and nobody would have known. Read the "advertisement" that got me blocked and see for yourself. I made the article in good faith and i was very young at the time.

And it's Ironic how you have an Assume Good Faith UserBox when you don't.

You can still ask for a vanishing, see WP:VANISH. It's not likely to be granted, but it's not impossible. We aren't responsible for the username you chose. Assuming good faith does not mean accepting things on blind faith. 331dot (talk) 11:55, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I did not say you were evading sanctions or scrutiny, I said that was the reason for the policy. 331dot (talk) 11:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Sorry if I seemed harsh in my last unblock request; it was not my intention. I am requesting an unblock. # Although I do not believe I was advertising, I can see why the blocking admin (Alexf) would think I was. At the time, I did not know how to use citations and edited on my user page because the page I was trying to edit was protected at the time. # As I was researching how to appeal a block, I saw that some pages (mainly livestreamers) such as IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and others were missing some information I could have added. If I am unblocked, I plan on editing mainly WikiProject YouTube. # I was very young at the time; I didn't understand Wikipedia's policies or how to edit well, nor did I know how to format. Now that it's been 4 years, I believe I have improved drastically. Reasons why I should be unblocked: # I believe I deserve a second chance. # I believe I can improve areas of the encyclopedia, thus making it better. # I have taken the time to understand Wikipedia's guidelines and am committed to following them in future edits. I hope you consider my unblock request, and may you have a blessed day. AllanCelikCraft (talk) 07:22, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate and confirm that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

Once you have decided on the article you will propose improvements to:

    1. Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
    2. Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
      • do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this: {{infobox name|...}}),
      • do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this: [[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]),
      • do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: [[Category:Name]]),
      • and do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: {{Foo stub}});
    3. Click edit at your talk page and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this: == [[Article title]] ==) the copied content but do not save yet;
    4. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): "Copied content from [[exact Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution."
    5. You can now save the page. However, if your edits have any citations to reliable sources (which they should), add the following template to the end of your prose: {{reflist-talk}}. Once you have added the template, click Publish changes.
  • Now, edit that content. Propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
  • When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking using {{unblock}} and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
    • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will hopefully improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{Help me|your question here ~~~~}}" to your talk page. Thank you. Yamla (talk) 12:24, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

=== IShowSpeed ==

2022–present: Travel, shift to soccer-based content and WWE

In September 2022, Watkins played in the Sidemen Charity Match.[1] A clip of him went viral in which he became frustrated at English referee Mark Clattenburg for disallowing his goal to be offside, and in response, Watkins proceeded to whip him with the shirt he removed while celebrating, which resulted in him receiving a yellow card.[2]

In November 2022, American rapper and singer Lil Nas X appeared on Watkins' stream.[3] In the same month, Sky Sports announced that they would stop featuring him on their platform after the emergence of past misogynist and derogatory comments made by Watkins. The platform also removed all content featuring Watkins.[4][5] On November 16, 2022, he garnered controversy for allegedly doing a 'pump and dump scheme' cryptocurrency scam after he started a livestream promoting The Paradox Metaverse, an action-adventure game that awards players with Paradox Coin, a type of cryptocurrency.[6][7] The next day, he went live to address the controversy and apologized, saying "I do so much stuff for y'all, I made a mistake. I'm not that smart, I'ma be honest, I made a mistake that I wish I never did but I'm not a scammer."[8]

In December 2022, he won the Streamy Award in the "Breakout Streamer" category during the 12th Streamy Awards.[9] Throughout November and December 2022, he visited various soccer stadiums to try and watch Cristiano Ronaldo play live. He traveled to Old Trafford, Craven Cottage, and various other stadiums in Qatar, though Ronaldo was on the bench during those games, up until Portugal's loss to Morocco.[10][11]

During the round of 16 match between Portugal and Switzerland, in December 2022, Watkins garnered controversy for his behavior toward a Chinese spectator of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which was interpreted by many as racist. During a live stream, he approached a man wearing an Argentina jersey to question him. Visibly confused, the man specified that he did not speak English, which prompted Watkins to start repeatedly hurling "Konnichiwa", a Japanese greeting, and start uttering sounds reminiscent of Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. When a clip of the live stream started circulating online, he uploaded an apology video to his Twitter account.[12]

In January 2023, Watkins had a portrait of Cristiano Ronaldo tattooed on his arm.[13] On January 30, 2023, During a flight to Saudi Arabia Watkins X (Twitter) account was compromised by an insider who was promoting a cryptocurrency scam.[14]

In February 2023, Watkins uploaded a short video on one of his secondary channels stating he was behind Thumb Media Affiliate and Cardigan, two copyright companies that had either been claiming ad revenue or striking videos from channels that had been using clips from his streams. Other content creators also discovered Adin Ross, one of his associates, was also behind the labels. Following this short, Watkins faced significant backlash from his community.[15][16]

In May 2023, Watkins announced he had signed an exclusive streaming deal with the video-sharing platform Rumble, in collaboration with Kai Cenat.[17] A month later, after many attempts, Watkins met Cristiano Ronaldo in the carpark of Estádio da Luz in Lisbon after Portugal's 3-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.[18]

In August 2023, Darren hit 20 million subscribers on his YouTube account.[19] On August 16, 2023, during a livestream, Watkins jumped up from his seat due to being jumpscared while playing Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach and accidentally flashed his penis to a live viewership of 25,000 people.[20] He subsequently ended and deleted the livestream. Viewers uploaded the clip of the incident onto social media, and the term "IShowMeat", in reference to the slang word meat, meaning penis, began trending on Reddit and X (Twitter).[21] YouTube declined to strike his channel or ban him from the platform due to the accidental nature of the incident.[22]

In October 2023, Watkins met and collaborated with Indian singer Daler Mehndi during his visit to India.[23] On October 11, 2023, Twitch unbanned Watkins's account after nearly two years.[24]

On April 9, 2024, Darren signed with Prime Hydration.[25] On September 30, Darren received his own limited-time exclusive Prime Hydration bottle.[26]

On May 29, 2024, Watkins attended the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake in Gloucestershire, England, during which he suffered a leg injury, which he claimed required hospitalization.[27][28]

On June 2, 2024, he reached 25 million subscribers on his YouTube account in a 15-minute-long livestream entitled "25 million.......".[29] On June 20, 2024, he met Albanian prime minister Edi Rama during his live stream in Albania.[30][31] On June 24, Darren was attacked by a mob of fans in the Netherlands. He escaped via a boat, but was shortly detained. After questioning, he was released under police escort to his vehicle.[32] On June 28, 2024, Darren was accused of ghosting a Marine Corps veteran named John Beats after a dare, in which Beats was challenged to tase himself for a reward of one thousand dollars.[33] On July 3, 2024, during his Europe tour, Watkins visited Norway, where he found himself trapped in a souvenir shop due to a large crowd. While gesturing to them from a second-story window, he jumped and injured his ankle, but believed he broke it. Unable to walk, he was escorted out by one of his bodyguards, in which he was attacked by the crowd, with some of them pulling him by the hair and one jumping on top of his car.[34] He was later rushed to the hospital to have his ankle treated.[35] During the incident, the Norwegian Police Service refused to assist Watkins until he ended his stream.[36] He vowed never to return to Norway[37][deprecated source], but returned later that month. On July 18, Darren barked at a baby in Denmark, causing the child to cry, which led to an altercation with the father, resulting in Darren being kicked out.[38]

On August 3, 2024, Watkins performed a live-streamed stunt where he jumped over two speeding luxury cars—a Lamborghini and a McLaren—in Miami to prove his athleticism and silence skeptics who had previously doubted the authenticity of his car jump videos. The stream was then deleted on August 5, 2024, due to the stream itself violating YouTube's Terms of Service.[39][40][41][42] A few days later, the live stream itself was restored.

Unable to walk, he was escorted out by one of his bodyguards, in which he was attacked by the crowd, with some of them pulling him by the hair and one jumping on top of his car.[34] He was later rushed to the hospital to have his ankle treated.[35] During the incident, the [[Norwegian Police Service]] refused to assist Watkins until he ended his stream.[36] He vowed never to return to Norway[37]<sup class="noprint Inline-Template " style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i>[[Wikipedia:Deprecated sources|<span title="This source has been deprecated by community consensus. (November 2024)">deprecated source</span>]]</i>]</sup>, but returned later that month. On July 18, Darren barked at a baby in [[Denmark]], causing the child to cry, which led to an altercation with the father, resulting in Darren being kicked out.[38] On August 3, 2024, Watkins performed a live-streamed stunt where he jumped over two speeding luxury cars—a [[Lamborghini]] and a [[McLaren Automotive|McLaren]]—in [[Miami]] to prove his athleticism and silence skeptics who had previously doubted the authenticity of his car jump videos. The stream was then deleted on August 5, 2024, due to the stream itself violating YouTube's Terms of Service.[39][40][41][42] A few days later, the live stream itself was restored. In September 2024, Darren started his Southeast Asia tour, visiting Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam.[43] On September 9, Darren fought a [[Muay Thai]] fighter, demanding to spar with the best person there.[44] On September 13, Darren met [[Manny Pacquiao]], where he was knocked down during sparring.[45] On September 16, Darren reached 30 million subscribers on YouTube. On September 18, Darren achieved 1 million concurrent viewers on a single live stream.[46] On August 18, 2024, Darren collaborated with [[Kai Cenat]] to beat [[Minecraft]] on hardcore mode,[47] finishing after more than 100 hours on August 22.[48] On October 8, 2024, Darren attempted to break the world record for the most backflips in 24 hours, achieving a total of 660 backflips.[49] <div class="reflist-talk" > <p class="reflist-talk-title">References</p> <div class="reflist " >

{{unblock reviewed |1= === IShowSpeed == === 2022–present: Travel, shift to soccer-based content and WWE === In September 2022, Watkins played in the [[Sidemen (YouTube group)|Sidemen]] [[List of Sidemen Charity Matches|Charity Match]].[1] A clip of him went viral in which he became frustrated at English referee [[Mark Clattenburg]] for disallowing his goal to be [[Offside (association football)|offside]], and in response, Watkins proceeded to whip him with the shirt he removed while celebrating, which resulted in him receiving a yellow card.[2] In November 2022, American rapper and singer [[Lil Nas X]] appeared on Watkins' stream.[3] In the same month, [[Sky Sports]] announced that they would stop featuring him on their platform after the emergence of past [[misogyny|misogynist]] and derogatory comments made by Watkins. The platform also removed all content featuring Watkins.[4][5] On November 16, 2022, he garnered controversy for allegedly doing a '[[Pump and dump|pump and dump scheme']] [[cryptocurrency]] scam after he started a livestream promoting The Paradox Metaverse, an action-adventure game that awards players with Paradox Coin, a type of cryptocurrency.[6][7] The next day, he went live to address the controversy and apologized, saying "I do so much stuff for y'all, I made a mistake. I'm not that smart, I'ma be honest, I made a mistake that I wish I never did but I'm not a scammer."[8] In December 2022, he won the [[Streamy Award]] in the "Breakout Streamer" category during the [[12th Streamy Awards]].[9] Throughout November and December 2022, he visited various soccer stadiums to try and watch [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] play live. He traveled to [[Old Trafford]], [[Craven Cottage]], and various other stadiums in [[Qatar]], though Ronaldo was on the bench during those games, up until [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]]'s loss to [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]].[10][11] During the [[2022 FIFA World Cup knockout stage#Portugal vs Switzerland|round of 16 match]] between [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] and [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]], in December 2022, Watkins garnered controversy for his behavior toward a Chinese spectator of the [[2022 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Qatar]], which was interpreted by many as racist. During a live stream, he approached a man wearing an [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] jersey to question him. Visibly confused, the man specified that he did not speak English, which prompted Watkins to start repeatedly hurling "Konnichiwa", a [[Japanese language|Japanese]] greeting, and start uttering sounds reminiscent of [[Cantonese]] and [[Mandarin language|Mandarin Chinese]]. When a clip of the live stream started circulating online, he uploaded an apology video to his Twitter account.[12] In January 2023, Watkins had a portrait of [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] tattooed on his arm.[13] On January 30, 2023, During a flight to [[Saudi Arabia]] Watkins [[Twitter|X (Twitter)]] account was compromised by an insider who was promoting a [[Cryptocurrency and crime|cryptocurrency scam]].[14] In February 2023, Watkins uploaded a [[YouTube short|short video]] on one of his secondary channels stating he was behind Thumb Media Affiliate and Cardigan, two copyright companies that had either been claiming ad revenue or striking videos from channels that had been using clips from his streams. Other content creators also discovered [[Adin Ross]], one of his associates, was also behind the labels. Following this short, Watkins faced significant backlash from his community.[15][16] In May 2023, Watkins announced he had signed an exclusive streaming deal with the video-sharing platform [[Rumble (company)|Rumble]], in collaboration with [[Kai Cenat]].[17] A month later, after many attempts, Watkins met Cristiano Ronaldo in the carpark of [[Estádio da Luz]] in Lisbon after Portugal's 3-0 win over [[Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team|Bosnia and Herzegovina]].[18] In August 2023, Darren hit 20 million subscribers on his YouTube account.[19] On August 16, 2023, during a livestream, Watkins jumped up from his seat due to being jumpscared while playing ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach]]'' and [[Wardrobe malfunction|accidentally flashed his penis]] to a live viewership of 25,000 people.[20] He subsequently ended and deleted the livestream. Viewers uploaded the clip of the incident onto social media, and the term "IShowMeat", in reference to the slang word ''[[wikt:meat|meat]]'', meaning penis, began trending on [[Reddit]] and [[Twitter|X (Twitter)]].[21] YouTube declined to strike his channel or ban him from the platform due to the accidental nature of the incident.[22] In October 2023, Watkins met and collaborated with Indian singer [[Daler Mehndi]] during his visit to India.[23] On October 11, 2023, [[Twitch (service)|Twitch]] unbanned Watkins's account after nearly two years.[24] On April 9, 2024, Darren signed with [[Prime (drink)|Prime Hydration]].[25] On September 30, Darren received his own limited-time exclusive Prime Hydration bottle.[26] On May 29, 2024, Watkins attended the annual [[Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake]] in [[Gloucestershire]], [[England]], during which he suffered a leg injury, which he claimed required hospitalization.[27][28] On June 2, 2024, he reached 25 million subscribers on his YouTube account in a 15-minute-long livestream entitled "25 million.......".[29] On June 20, 2024, he met Albanian prime minister [[Edi Rama]] during his live stream in [[Albania]].[30][31] On June 24, Darren was attacked by a mob of fans in the Netherlands. He escaped via a boat, but was shortly detained. After questioning, he was released under police escort to his vehicle.[32] On June 28, 2024, Darren was accused of [[Ghosting (behavior)|ghosting]] a Marine Corps veteran named John Beats after a dare, in which Beats was challenged to tase himself for a reward of one thousand dollars.[33] On July 3, 2024, during his Europe tour, Watkins visited [[Norway]], where he found himself trapped in a souvenir shop due to a large crowd. While gesturing to them from a second-story window, he jumped and injured his ankle, but believed he broke it. Unable to walk, he was escorted out by one of his bodyguards, in which he was attacked by the crowd, with some of them pulling him by the hair and one jumping on top of his car.[34] He was later rushed to the hospital to have his ankle treated.[35] During the incident, the [[Norwegian Police Service]] refused to assist Watkins until he ended his stream.[36] He vowed never to return to Norway[37]<sup class="noprint Inline-Template " style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i>[[Wikipedia:Deprecated sources|<span title="This source has been deprecated by community consensus.

On July 18, Darren barked at a baby in [[Denmark]], causing the child to cry, which led to an altercation with the father, resulting in Darren being kicked out.[38] On August 3, 2024, Watkins performed a live-streamed stunt where he jumped over two speeding luxury cars—a [[Lamborghini]] and a [[McLaren Automotive|McLaren]]—in [[Miami]] to prove his athleticism and silence skeptics who had previously doubted the authenticity of his car jump videos. The stream was then deleted on August 5, 2024, due to the stream itself violating YouTube's Terms of Service.[39][40][41][42] A few days later, the live stream itself was restored.

{{unblock reviewed |1= === IShowSpeed == === 2022–present: Travel, shift to soccer-based content and WWE === In September 2022, Watkins played in the [[Sidemen (YouTube group)|Sidemen]] [[List of Sidemen Charity Matches|Charity Match]].[1] A clip of him went viral in which he became frustrated at English referee [[Mark Clattenburg]] for disallowing his goal to be [[Offside (association football)|offside]], and in response, Watkins proceeded to whip him with the shirt he removed while celebrating, which resulted in him receiving a yellow card.[2] In November 2022, American rapper and singer [[Lil Nas X]] appeared on Watkins' stream.[3] In the same month, [[Sky Sports]] announced that they would stop featuring him on their platform after the emergence of past [[misogyny|misogynist]] and derogatory comments made by Watkins. The platform also removed all content featuring Watkins.[4][5] On November 16, 2022, he garnered controversy for allegedly doing a '[[Pump and dump|pump and dump scheme']] [[cryptocurrency]] scam after he started a livestream promoting The Paradox Metaverse, an action-adventure game that awards players with Paradox Coin, a type of cryptocurrency.[6][7] The next day, he went live to address the controversy and apologized, saying "I do so much stuff for y'all, I made a mistake. I'm not that smart, I'ma be honest, I made a mistake that I wish I never did but I'm not a scammer."[8] In December 2022, he won the [[Streamy Award]] in the "Breakout Streamer" category during the [[12th Streamy Awards]].[9] Throughout November and December 2022, he visited various soccer stadiums to try and watch [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] play live. He traveled to [[Old Trafford]], [[Craven Cottage]], and various other stadiums in [[Qatar]], though Ronaldo was on the bench during those games, up until [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]]'s loss to [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]].[10][11] During the [[2022 FIFA World Cup knockout stage#Portugal vs Switzerland|round of 16 match]] between [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] and [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]], in December 2022, Watkins garnered controversy for his behavior toward a Chinese spectator of the [[2022 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Qatar]], which was interpreted by many as racist. During a live stream, he approached a man wearing an [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] jersey to question him. Visibly confused, the man specified that he did not speak English, which prompted Watkins to start repeatedly hurling "Konnichiwa", a [[Japanese language|Japanese]] greeting, and start uttering sounds reminiscent of [[Cantonese]] and [[Mandarin language|Mandarin Chinese]]. When a clip of the live stream started circulating online, he uploaded an apology video to his Twitter account.[12] In January 2023, Watkins had a portrait of [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] tattooed on his arm.[13] On January 30, 2023, During a flight to [[Saudi Arabia]] Watkins [[Twitter|X (Twitter)]] account was compromised by an insider who was promoting a [[Cryptocurrency and crime|cryptocurrency scam]].[14] In February 2023, Watkins uploaded a [[YouTube short|short video]] on one of his secondary channels stating he was behind Thumb Media Affiliate and Cardigan, two copyright companies that had either been claiming ad revenue or striking videos from channels that had been using clips from his streams. Other content creators also discovered [[Adin Ross]], one of his associates, was also behind the labels. Following this short, Watkins faced significant backlash from his community.[15][16] In May 2023, Watkins announced he had signed an exclusive streaming deal with the video-sharing platform [[Rumble (company)|Rumble]], in collaboration with [[Kai Cenat]].[17] A month later, after many attempts, Watkins met Cristiano Ronaldo in the carpark of [[Estádio da Luz]] in Lisbon after Portugal's 3-0 win over [[Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team|Bosnia and Herzegovina]].[18] In August 2023, Darren hit 20 million subscribers on his YouTube account.[19] On August 16, 2023, during a livestream, Watkins jumped up from his seat due to being jumpscared while playing ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach]]'' and [[Wardrobe malfunction|accidentally flashed his penis]] to a live viewership of 25,000 people.[20] He subsequently ended and deleted the livestream. Viewers uploaded the clip of the incident onto social media, and the term "IShowMeat", in reference to the slang word ''[[wikt:meat|meat]]'', meaning penis, began trending on [[Reddit]] and [[Twitter|X (Twitter)]].[21] YouTube declined to strike his channel or ban him from the platform due to the accidental nature of the incident.[22] In October 2023, Watkins met and collaborated with Indian singer [[Daler Mehndi]] during his visit to India.[23] On October 11, 2023, [[Twitch (service)|Twitch]] unbanned Watkins's account after nearly two years.[24] On April 9, 2024, Darren signed with [[Prime (drink)|Prime Hydration]].[25] On September 30, Darren received his own limited-time exclusive Prime Hydration bottle.[26] On May 29, 2024, Watkins attended the annual [[Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake]] in [[Gloucestershire]], [[England]], during which he suffered a leg injury, which he claimed required hospitalization.[27][28] On June 2, 2024, he reached 25 million subscribers on his YouTube account in a 15-minute-long livestream entitled "25 million.......".[29] On June 20, 2024, he met Albanian prime minister [[Edi Rama]] during his live stream in [[Albania]].[30][31] On June 24, Darren was attacked by a mob of fans in the Netherlands. He escaped via a boat, but was shortly detained. After questioning, he was released under police escort to his vehicle.[32] On June 28, 2024, Darren was accused of [[Ghosting (behavior)|ghosting]] a Marine Corps veteran named John Beats after a dare, in which Beats was challenged to tase himself for a reward of one thousand dollars.[33] On July 3, 2024, during his Europe tour, Watkins visited [[Norway]], where he found himself trapped in a souvenir shop due to a large crowd. While gesturing to them from a second-story window, he jumped and injured his ankle, but believed he broke it. Unable to walk, he was escorted out by one of his bodyguards, in which he was attacked by the crowd, with some of them pulling him by the hair and one jumping on top of his car.[34] He was later rushed to the hospital to have his ankle treated.[35] During the incident, the [[Norwegian Police Service]] refused to assist Watkins until he ended his stream.[36] He vowed never to return to Norway[37]<sup class="noprint Inline-Template " style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i>[[Wikipedia:Deprecated sources|<span title="This source has been deprecated by community consensus. (November 2024)">deprecated source</span>]]</i>]</sup>, but returned later that month. On July 18, Darren barked at a baby in [[Denmark]], causing the child to cry, which led to an altercation with the father, resulting in Darren being kicked out.[38] On August 3, 2024, Watkins performed a live-streamed stunt where he jumped over two speeding luxury cars—a [[Lamborghini]] and a [[McLaren Automotive|McLaren]]—in [[Miami]] to prove his athleticism and silence skeptics who had previously doubted the authenticity of his car jump videos. The stream was then deleted on August 5, 2024, due to the stream itself violating YouTube's Terms of Service.[39][40][41][42] A few days later, the live stream itself was restored. In September 2024, Darren started his Southeast Asia tour, visiting Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam.[43] On September 9, Darren fought a [[Muay Thai]] fighter, demanding to spar with the best person there.[44] On September 13, Darren met [[Manny Pacquiao]], where he was knocked down during sparring.[45] On September 16, Darren reached 30 million subscribers on YouTube. On September 18, Darren achieved 1 million concurrent viewers on a single live stream.[46] On August 18, 2024, Darren collaborated with [[Kai Cenat]] to beat [[Minecraft]] on hardcore mode,[47] finishing after more than 100 hours on August 22.[48] On October 8, 2024, Darren attempted to break the world record for the most backflips in 24 hours, achieving a total of 660 backflips.[49] <div class="reflist-talk" > <p class="reflist-talk-title">References</p> <div class="reflist " >
