And just like that, IShowSpeed’s Africa tour is over.

The 21-year-old took to his stream to share gratitude.

“I'm glad that I decided to come here and experience it for myself. To be honest, chat, this tour changed my life, bro. This tour changed my life for the better, seriously,” Speed said.

“This tour [opened] my eyes…it sparked up something deep within me, very deep, like something from the root of me. It kinda [talked] to me in terms of like, I can do this. Obviously, I've been already doing it, but I can do this. It's more personal, you know? And to come back to the motherland and to stream it all, stream 20 countries in 28 days,” he added, before trailing off.

Tuesday signaled the end of the streamer’s 28-day trek across the continent, which saw him visit 20 countries, including Angola, Kenya, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

The tour spawned a number of viral moments, including losing a pull-up challenge in Angola, drinking cow’s blood in Kenya, and attempting to purchase sandals in Algeria, only to misunderstand how much the shoes cost.

He also had some wild moments, like in the Ivory Coast, where a man suddenly attacked Speed while he was learning a local dance. Later, in Nigeria, Speed tried to cheer up the internet's so-called "angriest man in Nigeria" with money, without success, and at another point in Nigeria, declared Nigeria's jollof rice is better than Senegal's.
