iShowSpeed’s latest livestream was quite entertaining as well as controversial at the same time. A lot of ruckus happened at the stream as the YouTuber went from meeting a lookalike of his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo to making a shady promotion of a cryptocurrency website.
While the former part of the stream accumulated sympathy for the content creator as he was being pranked, the latter part left his viewers in shambles, that also led them into criticizing him. His chat knew something was up when the streamer was donning outfits that had the logo of Paradox Crypto.
This was confirmed when iShowSpeed urged his viewers to follow an Instagram account, “Yo, bro! Everybody follow Paradoxmeta.io! Please follow them right now!… Follow them right now so I can see what this is, bro!”. The collaborative stream with MoneyKicks brought several guests from the Cryptocurrency company who even claimed to launch the ‘biggest crypto coin in the world’.
Following this, a huge stack of PS5 was brought into the streamer’s room and he was seen signing them for conducting giveaways, but his fans weren’t too happy about this as a donator alerted him that the company was probably scamming him.

iShowSpeed lashes out and then apologizes to his audience
Upon viewing this message, iShowSpeed rubbished these claims and didn’t wish to address this issue but when he saw that his chat was spamming the same thing, he was enraged as he asked his moderators to handle the situation and kick out the viewers who were criticizing him.
“Mods, do something, ’cause I’m really getting pissed off, bro”. The YouTuber added, “Chill the f**k out bro, seriously, dog, ’cause y’all are really getting on my nerves, bro.” He later claimed that he was disappointed to see that his viewers would think that he is promoting a scam company.
However, after the stream ended, viewers didn’t stop to call out the YouTuber as the clips spread across several social media websites. iShowSpeed issued an apology tweet claiming that “sorry guys never again, remember I’m speed.” Although the tweet was deleted shortly after.
Fans call out iShowSpeed
The YouTube clip stands deleted now, but the post on r/livestreamfails received more than 5k upvotes as viewers discussed that why should the YouTuber scam his audience when he’s making several dollars from his channel.
Few months ago, Tyler ‘Trainwreckstv‘ Niknam, known to be the biggest gambling slot streamer was called out for being a part of a cryptocurrency website and now it seems even iShowSpeed was planning to walk in the same path. As the apology tweet is deleted, fans await a solid confirmation from the YouTuber.
