Hasset Dereje: The Ethiopian Beauty Queen Who Caught iShowSpeed’s Attention

Hasset Dereje Admassu was already one of Ethiopia's most successful beauty queens—but an encounter with iShowSpeed introduced her to millions of people who might never watch a pageant.

Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2006, Hasset is Ethiopian and was 19 during Miss World 2025. She's also a university engineering student, model and charity ambassador.

The featured video showcases the qualities that made Hasset such a standout: striking Ethiopian beauty, a tall model's figure, elegant fashion and an effortlessly glamorous presence.

And she has the pageant résumé to back up the looks.

Representing Ethiopia at Miss World 2025 in India, Hasset competed against more than 100 women and finished an extraordinary 1st Runner-Up, while also being crowned Miss World Africa—Ethiopia's best result in Miss World history.

Then came iShowSpeed's hugely watched Ethiopia visit. His encounter with Hasset quickly generated clips across YouTube and social media, putting the Ethiopian beauty queen in front of an entirely different global audience.

Elegant, intelligent and unmistakably Ethiopian, Hasset Dereje was already a beauty queen—iShowSpeed simply helped millions more people discover her.
