On April 7, American internet star "IShowSpeed" arrived in Changsha, Hunan province, for the latest stop in his China tour, and he will start a livestream at 3 pm. Tonight, he is set to meet his "rival" Wowkie Zhang, the original singer of "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Pony," on a new variety show on Hunan TV.
On the evening of April 5, Wowkie Zhang responded during a livestream to a viewer's question about collaborating with "IShowSpeed." He stated, "It's time to collaborate; we have a plan. He's so charming, it should work out." Earlier today, Hunan TV confirmed via Weibo that "IShowSpeed" will meet Wowkie Zhang at the recording studio of the new variety show. They also shared the hit song "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Pony," marking the beginning of their connection.
It has been noted that a phrase in the lyrics of Wowkie Zhang's song, "that one, that one" sounds similar to a racially offensive English term, "Nixxer", which led to cultural misunderstandings. During a livestream, "IShowSpeed" reacted dramatically upon hearing the song, and his exaggerated response became a viral moment online. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the song unexpectedly gained popularity overseas, turning into a meme.
