American content creator IShowSpeed was targeted today by thrown objects on Saturday during his appearance at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers, where the Algerian Super Cup was being played.
Once inside the venue, several objects, including bottles and paper balls, were thrown in his direction as he moved along the pitch.
Security staff intervened and escorted him to the stands amid visible tension, with some spectators objecting to being filmed during the livestream.

The streamer, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, is currently touring Africa and broadcasting his travels live on social media.
With nearly 50 million subscribers on YouTube, his livestreams regularly draw hundreds of thousands of viewers, including around 300,000 watching in real time during his stop in Algeria.
Despite the incident, IShowSpeed downplayed the episode at the end of his broadcast, telling viewers that the day had been positive overall apart from the projectiles.
