An American TikTok star, known as @tuttymbm, recently shared a joyful video featuring the popular streamer IShowSpeed during his visit to eSwatini. The clip captured an unforgettable moment that had social media users buzzing!
In the video, which was posted on January 4, 2026, Speed found himself enchanted by a beautiful young woman who introduced him to her father. Their interaction swiftly turned into a humorous negotiation over lobola, the traditional bride price. The father quipped:
"You want to give me cows?"
At first, Speed appeared puzzled, only for the father to clarify, repeating:
"You want to give me cows?"
Speed, sensing the playful nature of the conversation, chuckled and replied:
"Yeah."
The father explained that for any engagement to proceed, the young woman must first consent to the proposal. If she agrees, then the two families would gather to finalize the negotiation of cows—a customary practice in some African cultures. Intrigued, Speed asked how many cows he would need to marry her, to which the man responded with a surprising number:
"17 cows."
With a mix of surprise and laughter, Speed repeated the number back, and with the help of a guide, began to ponder the hefty price tag of his romantic ambitions.
