Croatia just scored a major digital moment. Split played host to IShowSpeed, one of the world’s most-followed YouTubers, as he launched his European tour with a livestream that drew more than 4 million viewers globally. 

The 20-year-old sensation, real name Darren Jason Watkins Jr., boasts over 100 million followers across social media.
