Who is IShowSpeed?

A Little About IShowSpeed
Concerned about his previous remarks about women, Sky Sports has removed their videos with him and severed ties with him.
IShowSpeed, who had been gaining popularity on YouTube, was interviewed by Sky Sports’ Geoff Shreeves prior to Manchester United’s match against Fulham.
This resulted in several amusing viral clips, but the network has since removed all evidence of their collaboration.
On November 14, fans discovered that all of Sky Sport’s Tweets about IShowSpeed had been silently and mysteriously removed.
Sky Sports’ management is said to have been made aware of Speed’s previous comments about women, some of which landed the YouTuber in hot water.
IShowSpeed had a large following on Twitch before being banned in April 2022 for allegedly making offensive comments about a lady while live streaming with broadcaster Adin Ross.
He was famously permanently banned from Riot Games’ Valorant after making sexist comments toward female players, resulting in a significant backlash against the influencer.
After a friend challenged him about hitting his shots, the streamer became enraged, cursed, and yelled at the other male player, declaring that he was not a noob and knew how to play the game.
However, when a female teammate stood up and stated that it was obvious that he didn’t know how to play, the situation clearly deteriorated.
“Is that a [expletive] speaking to me?” Is a woman speaking to me? Am I hallucinating? Is it my imagination, or is a woman speaking to me? “Get off the [expletive] game and do your husband’s dishes!” he exclaimed.
IShowSpeed reacted after Sky Sports severed ties with him
He responded on Twitter just days after Sky Sports deleted videos and cut ties with him after learning about the creator’s previous comments.
In response, the YouTuber stated that he would have “loved” the opportunity to speak with them before deciding to end their relationship.
On November 18, he responded to Sky Sports’ decision to end their relationship with him with a series of tweets.
“I’m seventeen years old. I was 16 at the time and made a huge mistake. It was foolish and immature.
“I immediately realized what had happened and apologized,” the YouTuber wrote.
He also stated that he will continue to improve as he grows and navigates this world.
The former Twitch streamer went on to say that he would have liked to talk to them before they made their decision, and that Sky Sports started their relationship by inviting him to appear on Soccer AM.
