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

by

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.

Pusha T Targeted By Bots, Fans Think Drake Is Behind It

by

Pusha T has fallen victim to a barrage of bots on Twitter recently, that have now made thousands of bizarre posts about the performer. The countless posts feature fake claims, and typically strange edited images of him. Most of the posts are relatively harmless, while others are pretty derogatory. “Pusha T fled to Barcelona after getting caught sneaking feet pics of minors,” one of the posts reads. Another one says, “Pusha T reveals he wishes he was a salamander.”

Though it remains unclear why exactly he was targeted, social media users have some guesses. Many suggest that Drake could be behind the strange posts, as they’re known to have beef. Many of the posts also include hashtags like #ScaredOfThe6 or the title of Drizzy’s upcoming album, #ForAllTheDogs. It’s not the first time the Canadian performer has been accused of having bots go after the rapper. Another swarm of bots targeted him just last month, and fans jokingly suggested that Drake was responsible.

Bots Make Fake Claims About Pusha T

It remains unconfirmed whether or not Drake is actually behind the slew of posts, and Pusha T has yet to address the situation publicly. Regardless, social media users appears to be getting pretty annoyed with the whole debacle. Luckily, however, it looks like the rapper doesn’t usually let hate get to him. In an interview with GQ earlier this month, he shared his perspective on those throwing negativity his way.

“You have to look at who’s the talker,” he explained. “When you look at who’s the talker and you look at what they’ve done and who they are and what they offer to you, it’s funny. I’ve been in this game for a minute, and I’ve watched the game, and I’ve watched people at their highs and at their lows. And, mind you, most people are chasing things I’ve never chased in hip-hop.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Pusha T.

PlayStation Reveals Their SteamDeck Rival, The PlayStation Portal

by

PlayStation has revealed the PlayStation Portal, the company’s “remote play dedicated console.” Launched to rival Valve’s SteamDeck, the PlayStation Portal is a portable console with an 8-inch screen and wireless half-controllers. It works by linking to your existing PlayStation 5 library.

“Since launching PS5, we’ve been amazed to see how players around the world have embraced the generational leaps we made in the gaming experience, such as the heightened feeling of immersion delivered by the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in the DualSense wireless controller. Our PlayStation community continues to give us a reason to challenge ourselves to bring new innovations to the market for all players to enjoy. That’s why today, we are especially pleased to share new updates about our upcoming hardware products,” the company said in a statement.

PlayStation Looks To Enter Portable Games Market

Now you may be thinking – didn’t PlayStation have a console many years ago? Yes, they did. It was totally not confusingly called the PlayStation Portable or PSP. That console launched in 2004 and was supported by PlayStation until they closed the PSP store in 2016. This new console, also referred to as the PSP, is more in line with the Remote Play consoles produced by Valve and Nintendo. According to the press statement, the console will retail for $199.99. However, has PlayStation waited too long to enter this market?

Industry experts believe that the SteamDeck will sell over 3 million units by the end of 2023. Meanwhile, Nintendo has sold over 129 million Switches as of the end of June 2023. The Switch is an all-in-one product, with its own dedicated shop and games. Additionally, the SteamDeck only relies on you having a free Steam account. From there, you are able to play any games that you have previously purchased. In contrast, the (new) PSP exclusively relies on you having working WiFi and also a PlayStation 5. The low price point may be appealing. However, it appears to be a very exclusive product that requires a high barrier to entry (i.e. having a PlayStation 5). PlayStation did not set a release date, simply saying that it would be launched later this year.

IShowSpeed Addresses Flashing Incident With Explosive On-Stream Rant

by

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.

Speed Loses It On Stream

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.”

Blocking Users On Twitter/X No Longer Available, Elon Musk Announces

by

When Elon Musk first became the owner of Twitter in October 2022, we expected him to switch things up on the platform, as any new leader would. However, we certainly didn’t expect the X rebrand (which is still in the midst of unfolding), or the temporary daily limits on the number of tweets users are able to view in a day. For the most part, the platform after the South African’s takeover has become more frustrating and confusing to use, especially with the removal of automated verification for public figures.

On Friday (August 18), it was revealed that Musk’s next plans for Twitter/X could lead to more turmoil for users. “Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature’, except for DMs,” he explained earlier this afternoon. According to him, the ability to ban other accounts from seeing your posts/set boundaries with others invading your online space “makes no sense.” Interestingly, the app’s former CEO, Jack Dorsey, was in agreement. “💯. mute only,” he wrote in response to the engineer. In the past, Elon’s predecessor has expressed frustration with the changes made to his website, but clearly, he’s still using his account.

Elon Musk Continues to Make Major Change at Twitter/X

The option that users will have is to mute other accounts, meaning that they can see your content, and even reply to it, but what they post won’t be visible to you. This will also hide the desired person’s tweets from your timeline without actually unfollowing them, as Variety notes. Musk’s motive in making such a dramatic change remains unclear at this time, but it’s already got concerned users speaking out about the dangers of not being able to shut down abusive behaviour.

Prior to bringing in more change on Twitter, Elon Musk gave an update on his highly anticipated fight against Mark Zuckerberg. Unfortunately, the former says things have come to a halt until the latter agrees upon a location for their match. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

IShowMeat Trends After IShowSpeed Flashing Incident

by

X/Twitter has a new favorite obsession after IShowSpeed’s August 16 stream. While streaming a Five Nights At Freddy’s game on YouTube, the controversial streamer reacted to a jumpscare by screaming and jumping up and down in front of his camera. Unfortunately for Speed, this inadvertently revealed his erect penis to his audience. Speed only appeared to realize this after seeing the footage on his second monitor, causing him to end his stream moments later.

The footage quickly went viral, being reposted numerous times on social media. While Speed has not been banned from YouTube at the time of writing, a ban feels inevitable. Among the major live-streaming platforms, YouTube has some of the strictest content rules relating to sexual content. And few things are more sexual than exposing your genitals live on stream to an audience primarily comprised of minors. Meanwhile, the trending topic “IShowMeat” quickly appeared on the Elon Musk-owned site.

The trend is pretty self-explanatory. Meat is a colloquialism for penis, his name is IShowSpeed. It’s a middle-of-the-plate meatball pitch if ever there was one. While it’s a pretty easy joke to come to, it also appears to have been popularized after being used by streamer MoistCr1TiKaL during his recap of the situation. In another video, an individual utilizes photoshop to estimate how tall (in dicks) IShowSpeed is.

Furthermore, HotNewHipHop would like to address comments made in a previous article about the situation. In our original report on the incident, we said this:

And disturbingly hard for a dude playing a horror game about murder robots? Of course, Rule 34 absolutely applies to the FNAF franchise but is that something that Speed is into? Legally, we cannot give an answer to that question. But it is a question worth asking based on the footage.

Ben Mock for HotNewHipHop, August 16 2023

We can now confirm that yes, it is something that Speed is into. In the original video of the incident, the streamer can be heard saying “I wanna fuck you, Chica. Get this dick right up in you, baby.” Chica is the Five Nights At Freddy’s character that jumpscared Speed in the now-viral clip. This continues to be a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.

IShowSpeed Exposes Genitals Live On Stream

Controversial streamer IShowSpeed is back at it again with yet another NSFW headline. While playing a game in the Five Nights At Freddy’s franchise, Speed was jumpscared. He reacted in his usual over-the-top way, screaming and jumping up and down. The problem was that his erect penis was sticking out of his shorts and was clearly visible as he jumped up and down in front of the camera. Speed only appeared to realize this when he sat down and caught sight of the footage on his second monitor.

Speed was reportedly streaming on Twitch. While it has not been announced yet, the streamer can likely expect a near-permanent ban in the coming days. Furthermore, many people responding to the footage have joked that this will all but confirm Speed’s move to Kick. Kick is known (and notorious for) its lack of content moderation. However, Kick still does have limits. Those limits are namely things that could get the site age-restricted, or shut down. This list includes things such as playing copyrighted content, things such as violent real-world content, and sexual content. The latter of these is perhaps the most important as sexual content could see the site become age-restricted, which would all but kill the enterprise.

IShowSpeed Flashes Audience

On the advice of the editorial staff, HotNewHipHop will not be posting a link to the footage in question. However, it can be easily found by simply searching IShowSpeed in the search bar on websites such as X/Twitter. But yeah, his dick is just out. And disturbingly hard for a dude playing a horror game about murder robots? Of course, Rule 34 absolutely applies to the FNAF franchise but is that something that Speed is into? Legally, we cannot give an answer to that question. But it is a question worth asking based on the footage.

Social media has been pretty shocked by the incident. There are a lot of various reaction images going around, a lot of them directly lifted from Speed’s content. The reactions largely devolve into two camps. The first is the shock that this happened. After all, this is one of the more egregious sexual content violations on Twitch in a while. We all likely remember the woman who was controversially banned for seven days for actively getting fucked on stream. However, in her defense, both her partner and the lewd acts in question were off-camera at the time. This is something of a developing story and any updates to Speed’s case, such as a reaction from Twitch, will be found here at HotNewHipHop.

Elon Musk & Mark Zuckerberg Fight Remains In Limbo, “Zuck Declined,” Tesla CEO Says

by

There’s been plenty of talk about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg coming head-to-head, but it seems very few action steps are actually being put into motion. Both tech gurus have received offers from renowned athletes to help them train, though they both have years of experience in various martial arts disciplines, to begin with. There are major physical differences between Musk and Zuckerberg that have raised concerns, such as their 7″ height difference (6’2″ and 5’7″, respectively), as well as their weight disparity (230 and 145).

Nevertheless, both have expressed determination to move forward with arranging an event (live streamed on X, of course), until the Meta head expressed frustration about his competitor’s lack of seriousness this past weekend. “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Zuckerberg shared via Threads. “I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity.”

Elon Musk Breaks Down the Mark Zuckerberg Situation

According to the South African, however, that might not be the case. His version of the story (as told in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon) claims that Zuckerberg specifically declined to fight at the Colosseum. Still determined to bring their vision to fruition, Musk suggested a fight at the 39-year-old’s home Octogan as a “safe space.” “Tragically, he was ahem, ‘travelling,’” the engineer snarked while sharing a DailyMail article reporting on how the fight first became a discussion.

Elon Musk makes it sound like Mark Zuckerberg is the one being difficult, or perhaps avoiding the fight. It appears that if/when the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter does name a location, then his multi-talented opponent is more than up to the challenge. Interestingly, the Meta CEO shared how seriously he’s been taking his training by discussing some of the changes he’s apparently made to his diet to help him grow closer in weight to Elon. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Coi Leray Expertly Rejects Fan Using ChatGPT To Flirt With Her

by

The DMs of an everyday hot girl can get chaotic enough, so we can’t imagine what the message requests folders of our favourite rap divas look like. Every so often we’re lucky enough to get a glimpse into the antics that play out on platforms like Instagram, though it’s rare to actually get a response from celebrities. As Uproxx reports, a Coi Leray lover who decided to shoot his shot with the “Blick Blick” hitmaker was lucky enough to catch her attention, though he failed to meet his objective of securing a date with her.

“Give me one date and it will be the best night you’ve ever had,” the streamer wrote to Leray in a screen recording later shared on TikTok. Much to his shock, she replied, “What’s the date?” It’s clear he wasn’t anticipating hearing back from the Boston native, as the OP quickly turned to everyone’s current piece of AI technology – ChatGPT – to give him some suggestions.

Coi Leray Continues to Curve Men in Her DMs

His pick, “Take a boat ride and watch the sunset” certainly sounds simple and romantic. However, it clearly wasn’t enough to satisfy Leray’s luxurious tastes. “Take a boat ride out of my DMs,” she cleverly rejected the man, leaving those who have seen his video of the interaction laughing. Interestingly, it was only a few weeks ago when Power actor Gianni Paolo revealed to TMZ that the fashionista was also impressed with his attempts to flirt with her, ultimately leaving him on read.

It wasn’t so long ago that Coi Leray unleashed her self-titled sophomore album on the world. Unfortunately, her first-week sales numbers weren’t as high as anticipated, but still, the young star got plenty of support from fellow artists and fans on her latest work. She obviously isn’t letting the critics get her down, as she announced earlier this week that she’ll be dropping a six-track EP in the very near future.
