The property is expected to serve as a central hub for content production and business operations.
IShowSpeed is reportedly expanding his media business with the purchase of an industrial warehouse near Miami that is expected to become a dedicated production studio as the YouTube star continues building his creator enterprise, Afrotech reports.
The reported purchase represents one of the largest business investments of Watkins’ career and reflects a growing trend among top digital creators who are purchasing permanent production facilities rather than relying on rented studio space. Fellow creator MrBeast has also invested in a large-scale production campus as leading online personalities continue expanding into full-scale media companies, according to the outlet.
Reflecting on his journey afterward, Watkins encouraged aspiring creators to remain committed to their goals.
“Four years ago, I was in my mom’s house, screaming, barking, ‘Siuuu!’ Cristiano Ronaldo! Siuuu!’… A kid from Ohio … just doing anything, and I just performed at the World Cup final,” Watkins said in a YouTube video. “You can do whatever you want… Just believe.”
