Streaming sensation IShowSpeed is no stranger to being in the headlines. Darren Watkins Jr has built up a reputation of notoriety, mainly due to the inappropriate antics he’s frequently associated with. He currently finds himself in hot waters after flashing his genitals during a live stream. However, that was far from the only occasion of Speed making s*xually suggestive gestures.
The 18-year-old has a recorded history of similar instances, including an infamous moment featuring vlogger Aaliyah Wasko. The incident in question happened during a live stream with the pair on a video call. Speed asked the social media influencer to close her eyes and think of a number as part of a magic trick. After a brief pause, Aaliyah opened her eyes to find the streamer thrusting in the camera’s direction – a gesture with obvious s*xual connotations.
The YouTuber did little to hide the risque nature of his antics, as indicated by his facial expressions and the telling ‘clap’ sound. Noticeably startled, Aaliyah could only respond by saying, ‘what are you doing?’. Speed answered by acting as if she didn’t get his ‘magic trick’. The vlogger was visibly uncomfortable during the moment, she even covered her dog’s eyes.
The CR7 fanboy has made a career out of outrageous antics. But at times, he is known to cross the line. His latest controversy is the perfect example of this, and it could see get banned from the platform.
IShowSpeed under fire for accidentally exposing his meat
The Ohio native’s X-rated antics during his most recent live stream have landed him in a heap of trouble. While playing a round of Five Nights at Freddy’s, Speed had a typically exaggerated reaction to a pretty tame jumpscare. After being startled by the yellow animatronic known as ‘Chica’, the YouTuber let out a scream before springing up from his seat. He then went on to say, “Oh, Chica, I miss you, I’m about to f*** you, Chica. Oh s***, this d*** up in you, baby.”
In line with his words, the streamer began thrusting in the camera’s direction. He also suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the worst possible time as his genitals were briefly exposed. After realizing the error, Speed immediately exclaimed “Oh my God, oh my God.”
Nudity is known to be prohibited as per YouTuber guidelines. And as such, it remains to be seen what form of punishment IShowSpeed receives. It’s possible that the streamer could avoid the prospect of a lifetime ban since the incident was accidental.
