SUMMARY
- IShowSpeed sparks controversy by sarcastically addressing Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., potentially mocking him in an Instagram story.
- IShowSpeed unintentionally promotes a fan account, mistakenly thinking it's Ronaldo Jr.'s official one.
IShowSpeed is one of the biggest streamers in the world, known for his over-the-top antics, controversial content, and passion for Cristiano Ronaldo. The American streamer is known for crossing the line for content but this time his subject was none other than the eldest son of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speed has a massive following on Instagram, with more than 14 million followers. Naturally, whatever he posts on his account through his grid or his stories will garner attention from his massive following. However, Speed uploaded a story about Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. that might not go down well with Ronaldo senior.
Speed reshared a post from an account with the username, @cris_jnr0077, which looks like the main account of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. The American streamer reshared a post from December 8 in which Ronaldo Jr. can be seen walking out for the Al-Nassr under 13 side.
Speed reshared the post on his story and wrote: “Good luck, Son.” The story might be sarcastic with the use of the word ‘Son’ even though Speed is only 18 years old. The sarcastic tone might land Speed in hot water with Ronaldo who is aware of the American content creator after meeting him back in the summer of 2023.

On the flip side, Speed might be sharing his well wishes to Ronaldo Jr. who was seen on crutches recently. The extent of the injury wasn’t revealed by the club, which might have prompted Speed to send his regards to Ronaldo Jr. The real motive behind the story can only be explained by Speed, however, the streamer’s luck with controversies in 2023 was not on the bright side.
IShowSpeed might have accidentally promoted a fan account of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.
In typical, IShowSpeed fashion, a new layer to this story can be observed with a closer look at the account that was shared by Speed. The American streamer uploaded the photo from @cris_jnr0077 and it is entirely possible that this Speed accidentally promoted this account thinking it is the official account of Ronaldo Jr.
The account reshared by Speed on his story has only three pictures of Ronaldo Jr. and isn’t verified by Instagram. Moreover, even Ronaldo doesn’t follow this account, which also confirms that this might be just another fan account of Ronaldo Jr.

The fan account hit a goldmine when Speed reshared its post on his story, and the account quickly started gaining followers. The account now has more than 500k followers, with each post filled with comments from IShowSpeed’s fan base.
It might also be possible that Speed was paid to promote this fan account considering the massive fan following, which might land the American streamer into more trouble. However, for now, fans are treating this incident as another random online antic from an unconventional content creator.
