Speed is currently traveling Brazil for a few IRL streams that are expected to be the themes for his upcoming streams. In the most recent stream, he played soccer in the favelas of Brazil and was pranked by Brazilian gang members. Both of the moments from the stream have been trending on social media, which shows the influence of IShowSpeed.
Fans can catch all these streams on YouTube as well as other content where he interacts with celebrities and musicians from different countries around the world. These IRL streams were a huge success for him in 2023 with his trip to Japan and India.
IShowSpeed was banned from Twitch & Riot Games
In Japan, he went on a date with a girlfriend that he rented out for the day. He also watched Al-Nassr vs PSG in a pre-season friendly, where he met Kim Kardashian. All these moments went viral on the internet. Similarly, in India, he played Cricket with his fans, met musical icons like Daler Mehndi, and was bitten by a snake. All in one trip. Fans are expecting similar chaos in this current trip to Brazil.
IShowSpeed originally used to stream at Twitch, where he also gained a massive fan following. However, his streaming career took a massive hit in December 2021 when Twitch banned him for his outburst on Adin Ross’s dating show. The platform banned him for “s*xual coercion or intimidation” which was against the platform’s guidelines.
The ban made Speed shift his future content to YouTube, where he has streaming since 2022. The content creation journey on YouTube was also filled with controversies. In April 2022, an older video surfaced on social media where Speed was seen using derogatory language toward a female player while playing the game Valorant.
The incident gained a spotlight on social media, which pressured the game developers to ban Speed from their games. Riot Games later announced that IShowSpeed has been banned from playing all of their games on any streaming platform.
In July 2022, Speed faced a one-week suspension on YouTube when he was caught participating in explicit activities within a video game mod known as “Jenny’s Mod” on Minecraft. The action went against the community guidelines of YouTube which prompted them to take action.

Speed was again close to suspension when he flashed himself to his underage fan base while playing a scary game. On this occasion, YouTube gave the benefit of the doubt to Speed and agreed that it was a silly mistake.
There have been many occasions where Speed has risked suspension and banned from YouTube. If, in the future, he gets banned from YouTube, he might move his content to KICK. However, for now, YouTube is the home of IShowSpeed.
