IShowSpeed Cries And Ends Stream After Falling For Cristiano Ronaldo Death Hoax

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If there’s one thing that streamer IShowSpeed loves, it’s soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who currently plays in Saudi Arabia, has long been Speed’s favorite player. However, such a public level of love leaves him vulnerable to some serious trolling.

While streaming on August 31, Speed was alerted to the fact that “RIP CR7” was trending on social media. Speed became increasingly distressed as he scrolled through tweets that appeared to suggest that Ronaldo had died. He begins to beg his chat to drop the act and tell him that it’s fake if it is. After counting down from ten and scrolling through Twitter some more, Speed ended the stream.

Speed Gets Mixed Sympathy

First of all – Google is a thing. If you a celebrity death is trending on social media, use Google to verify that it’s actually real. At no point does Speed does this. He just keeps scrolling Twitter over and over. However, the comments on the reposted clips show that people are starting to tire of Speed’s antics. “He gettin too old/famous to play along with it when his chat does that this exact scenario has gone viral like 8 times since he’s blown up,” one user noted. “Bro is just loud no lie,” another added.

However, many people also saw the clip as just the funniest thing in the world, while also feeling genuine sympathy for Speed. Again, Google is a very useful tool and should not be replaced by YouTube and stream chat. However, one user noted that this is all part of Speed’s plan. “I mean it works it keeps his young fanbase engaged lol, he could easily ignore it because obviously he knows its fake but he likes to play along. Same with the ishowmeat comments lol he acts like he hates them so more people engage.” How do you feel about the situation? Was this an act of trolling taken too far? Let us know in the comments.

IShowSpeed Melts Down After Claiming Website Banned Him For Being Ugly

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

IShowSpeed is back to his regularly scheduled content after a rough couple weeks that involved hospital visits and inadvertent genital exposure. Of course, that means that Speed is also back to going viral for his on-stream meltdowns. During an August 30 stream, Speed went to have some fun on the website, OmeTV. A chat roulette site, OmeTV allows you to randomly connect in a video call with other users.

However, Speed was only able to interact with a few users before something strange happened. After attempting to connect with a new user, Speed found himself banned. The reason give was “irrelevant image” alongside a picture of Speed’s face. “They just banned me because of my face? Am I that ugly? Am I that fucking ugly?!” the streamer yelled in response as fans mocked in chat. However, after paying a small unbanning fee, the same thing happened again. “I am fucking done! They banned me again just because of my face! I am not that damn ugly!” Speed said in another meltdown before quitting out to play Roblox instead.

Speed Melts Down Over Ronaldo Rating

However, being banned from OmeTV is just the latest thing that had Speed melting down on stream. On August 29, Speed had a very dramatic reaction to leaked player ratings from EAFC 2024, EA’s newly-branded soccer game after losing their FIFA license. Now, everyone knows that Speed is a massive Cristiano Ronaldo. As such, Speed nearly forced himself to throw up after seeing that Ronaldo was ranked as a 86 in the game.

“I literally threw up,” said Speed. “I just threw up in my mouth. That’s how fucking disgusted I fucking am right now. That’s so fucking disgusting.” Of course, a 4 overall drop from the game’s previous edition. 2022/23 was not a good season for Ronaldo. He played in just 10 games for Manchester United before moving to Saudi Arabia. While he scored 14 goals in 16 games for Al Nassr, the Saudi Pro League is not exactly an elite competition.

Travis Scott Supports Kai Cenat In Getting IShowSpeed Unbanned On Twitch

August 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Within huge figures in the streaming world, there’s a lot of solid competition, but more importantly, there’s solidarity. Moreover, Kai Cenat recently expressed his wishes to get IShowSpeed unbanned from the Twitch platform, both on his own stream and to the platform’s CEO in person. A video recently surfaced of Cenat and Speed at the Streamy Awards talking to the executive, and it’s actually gotten a lot of traction. So much so, in fact, that even Travis Scott took to his Instagram Story to voice his support. Well, it’s not an explicit approval of the move. But we doubt that La Flame would highlight this if he didn’t believe in it.

Furthermore, he posted a screenshot of the video in question, which Kai Cenat captioned with “Imma get him unbanned.” Travis Scott added his own caption that could refer to Kai’s energetic attitude or to his unwavering mission: “MOOD 24/7.” For those unaware, both content creators have been taken off the platform in the past, though Cenat’s in the clear now. Speed, on the other hand, currently faces a ban for allegedly propagating sexist comments that violate Twitch guidelines, a set of rules that both violated before.

Not only that, but during a recent livestream, Kai Cenat even threatened to leave the platform and end his Twitch partnership if Speed wasn’t back on air. It’s a tough line to walk, especially considering the controversial comments that brought this situation up in the first place. Still, given that both fall under a lot of scrutiny these days for their popularity, it’s an understandable camaraderie. Other rap figures came to Cenat’s defense, for example, when his giveaway event in NYC turned into a riot.

“Y’all don’t even charge the KKK When they do that negative s**t. But charge a successful black man for giving back,” NLE Choppa tweeted back when the incident occurred. “The system so designed for us to fail it don’t make sense! [I ain’t] saying what he did what’s done correctly. Of course it’s something he could’ve done better but his intentions were pure that’s all that matter. He wanted to help, give back, inspire, and most importantly spread love.” For more news and updates on Travis Scott, IShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat, stay up to date on HNHH.

Kai Cenat Demands Twitch To Unban IShowSpeed, Speed Gets On Knees In Front Of Twitch CEO

August 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat is someone who has grown exponentially in popularity over the last few years. Overall, he is one of the biggest personalities on Twitch right now. There have been numerous months in which he has finished with the most subscriptions on the platform. Moreover, he has so many famous friends at this point that he is a household name. He is even going to star in a short film with Lil Yachty, which just goes to show how famous he is becoming these days.

Cenat is also friends with other big-name streamers, such as IShowSpeed. Speed has been embroiled in lots of controversy over the years. For instance, he has struggled with being banned from numerous platforms. He is currently perma-banned from Twitch, which many feel is a huge injustice. Recently, on stream, Cenat made it crystal clear that if the platform doesn’t unban his friend, he will leave for another streaming service. Of course, this would be a nightmare for Twitch.

Kai Cenat Pleads His Case

Last night, Cenat and IShowSpeed were at the Streamys together. Of course, the Twitch CEO was at the awards show, where he ran into Kai and Speed. As you can see above, Cenat was pleading with the man to unban Speed. Moreover, Speed got on his hands and knees to beg and plead with the man. The CEO seemed amused by the display. However, he said that he doesn’t have the Twitch app on his phone and that he couldn’t actually do anything. Although, he does seem very open to letting Speed back on the platform.

If you remember, Speed went through a traumatic experience recently after flashing his private parts on stream. Despite this, he is still thriving on YouTube as he has officially hit 20 million subscribers. Let us know what you think of IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat, in the comments section below.

IShowSpeed Celebrates 20 Million Subscribers By Taking A Dive Into His Setup

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

IShowSpeed recently reached 20 million subscribers on YouTube, and he celebrated the milestone during a livestream. As he waited for his channel to finally hit 20 million, some of his supporters decided to start unsubscribing in order to troll the streamer. Luckily, he was eventually able to reach the coveted subscriber count, and chose to celebrate in a pretty unconventional way. He got up from his desk and climbed up onto a dresser that was situated against the wall behind him, delivering a dramatic message to his viewers.

“Goodbye chat,” he began, while standing on top of the dresser. “This is what y’all wanted. Never again. Remember – live to the fullest. Live to the greatest. You will be the one. Nobody loves you like how they did. That’s 20 million right there. And, that’s what I’m talking about. This is what we do. We presume and keep going. And, I love y’all boys.” He then shouts a couple of times as confetti is shot into the air, before taking a dive into his gaming setup.

IShowSpeed Hits 20 Million Subscribers

The stream then freezes on an image of the 22-year-old mid-jump for a few seconds. The webcam eventually cuts out, and the streamer is heard making some crying sounds. Someone then asks him if he’s okay, and when he doesn’t respond claims they’re going to call 911 before the stream ultimately ends. Though the jump was probably pretty painful, he appeared to be joking about actually being seriously injured, and is likely doing alright.

The milestone comes shortly after IShowSpeed made headlines earlier this month for accidentally exposing himself during a livestream. The incident was a clear breach of YouTube’s terms of service. Luckily, he was able to avoid being banned on the platform. He later addressed the incident, calling it “embarrassing” and revealing that it’s had a negative impact on his mental health. “At the end of the day, I’m still a human being, bro,” he told his audience. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on IShowSpeed.

IShowSpeed Addresses Flashing Incident With Explosive On-Stream Rant

August 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On August 16, controversial streamer IShowSpeed showed something quite different while playing Five Nights At Freddy’s. After being jumpscared by the character Chica, Speed had one of his trademark over-the-top reactions. “I wanna fuck you, Chica. Get this dick right up in you, baby,” the 18-year-old screamed, jumping up from his seat and violently thrusting his hips at his camera. This caused his penis to become dislodged from his shorts and become visible on camera for several seconds. Speed immediately ended his stream after seeing what had happened on his second monitor.

Despite the explicit incident, which led to a wave of jokes and mockery on social media, Speed avoided a ban from YouTube. Speaking with TMZ, a spokesperson for the video platform said that the incident was evidently an accident and that Speed had immediately deleted the VOD that contained the incident. However, Speed’s return to streaming on August 18 was marked by the content creator’s memorable addressing of the incident in question.

While formally addressing the incident, Speed turned his ire towards the individuals who continued to repost clips of the incident on social media. “Like bro, how the fuck would you fucking feel motherfucker?” he yelled, jumping out of his chair. “How the fk would you feel? How would you feel? Just because you didn’t have any clean fucking underwear? You had no clean underwear so you put on some goddamn pants! How would you feel?!”

Multiple comments in his stream chat telling him to “chill out” only appeared to enrage the Cincinnati-born streamer. “I’m sick of fucking chilling! You can’t chill! Don’t tell me to calm down. Every time I open up my phone…This is truly an embarrassing fucking moment for me. And lately, these past hours, I’ve been suffering mentally. At the end of the day, I’m still a human being, bro. As a streamer, this is one of your worst fears. It’s depressing, bro. You guys don’t know the feeling, bro. You guys are joking, you guys can crack your jokes, all of this, all of that. But y’all genuinely are not looking at the bigger picture.”

Is IShowSpeed Dead?

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The internet is a vast space where rumors can spread like wildfire. One such rumor that recently took the online community by storm was the alleged death of popular YouTuber IShowSpeed. But what’s the truth behind this trending topic? Let’s delve into the details. In July 2023, IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., was hospitalized, leading to a surge in concern among his vast fanbase. Not long after, the phrase “IShowSpeed dead” began trending on various social media platforms, amplifying the anxiety of his followers.

The Truth Behind The Trend

Contrary to the circulating rumors, IShowSpeed did not pass away. These speculations were merely a result of a death hoax that emerged after his notable hospitalization. Reports falsely claimed that he died at the tender age of 18. However, these claims were swiftly debunked. In fact, IShowSpeed was very much alive and even streamed content on August 15, 2023, showcasing his lively spirit.

Why Was IShowSpeed Hospitalized?

Before the onset of the death hoax, IShowSpeed had been on a trip to Japan. During his visit, he faced a medical emergency. A severe sinus infection led to his right eye swelling shut, prompting an immediate hospital visit. He kept his followers in the loop by sharing a YouTube video describing the intense pain he felt, likening it to being stabbed in the eye.

Further, upon his return from the hospital, IShowSpeed didn’t shy away from sharing his harrowing experience with his fans. In his first live stream post-hospitalization, he revealed the severity of his condition. He described enduring the most intense sinus infection he had ever experienced, which led to excruciating cluster headaches. The pain was so unbearable that he even contemplated jumping off a building in Japan. He emphasized the gravity of his situation, stating that the sinus infection nearly took his life.

The Road To Recovery

Now back in the comfort of his home and back to streaming, IShowSpeed is on the path to recovery. He has resumed his online activities and is expected to return to his regular streaming schedule soon. Overall, while the internet can be a source of valuable information, it’s essential to approach trending topics with a discerning eye. Rumors, especially concerning someone’s well-being, can cause unnecessary panic and distress. Thankfully, in the case of IShowSpeed, the rumors were baseless, and he continues to engage and entertain his fans.

Does IShowSpeed Have A Daughter?

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

IShowSpeed, a rapidly rising star in the YouTube streaming world, has been surrounded by whispers and rumors about his potential fatherhood. The internet has been abuzz with speculation, with many wondering if the young streamer is indeed a parent. The rumors about IShowSpeed being a father started circulating even before he cemented his position as one of the fastest-growing streamers. The skepticism around these rumors is understandable. Born on January 21, 2005, IShowSpeed was just 16 when these whispers began. While teen parenthood is not unheard of, with 13.1 percent of girls aged 15 to 19 in the U.S. giving birth in 2021, it’s not common.

The Mystery Of The Missing Daughter

Despite the widespread rumors, there’s a glaring absence of concrete evidence. No details about his rumored daughter have ever come to light, and she has never appeared on his streams. While IShowSpeed has mentioned having a daughter on his streams and even featured girls in videos titled as his daughter, he is also known for his penchant for trolling and making exaggerated claims. This leaves fans in a quandary, unsure of what to believe.

What Does IShowSpeed Say?

During a live Q&A session on February 26, 2021, IShowSpeed was quizzed about his daughter. He responded that she was “in his room right now.” He even mentioned her name as “Diamond” and claimed he could hear her on her tablet. However, he refrained from showing her to his fans. This narrative continued in April 2022, when he stated that he lives with his mother, two siblings, and daughter. In June 2022, he showcased a young girl on his stream, referring to her as his daughter in the video title.

Conclusion: Trolling or Truth?

The community is divided in its opinion. While some firmly believe IShowSpeed is merely trolling, others are convinced of his fatherhood. They argue that even if the girl shown in the video isn’t his daughter, he might still have one and chooses to keep her life away from the public eye. Given the evidence and IShowSpeed’s history of playful deception, it’s challenging to ascertain the truth. While there’s no concrete proof of his daughter’s existence, the possibility cannot be entirely ruled out. Only time will tell whether it’s a well-crafted prank or a slice of his private life.
