Darren “IShowSpeed,”a prominent YouTuber, found himself in an unexpected situation when a female participant dropped the N-word multiple times while rapping to “I Hate YoungBoy,”a popular track by hip-hop artist NBA YoungBoy. The line in question, which contains the racial slur, emerged very early in the song, catching both Speed and viewers off guard.
Initially, Speed appeared to enjoy the performance, but his expression changed dramatically when the woman uttered the controversial term aloud. This incident unfolded during a talent show segment on Speed’s YouTube livestream, where he encourages viewers to showcase their unique skills to a vast audience.
Controversial Moment on IShowSpeed’s Livestream Talent Show
Following a break centered around tours in China and Mongolia, IShowSpeed recently returned to his Just Chatting and reaction content. Throughout his travels, he engaged with local fans and explored various locations, documenting his experiences via livestreaming.
Now on the verge of reaching 40 million subscribers on YouTube, Speed has launched a “WORLDS GOT TALENT”series, inviting performers from around the world to participate in the live event. Despite the discomfort he expressed at the girl’s utterance of the racial slur, Speed allowed her to complete her performance, nervously interjecting phrases like:
“Okay, okay! Alright! Okay! Alright! Okay!”
In addition to the talent show, IShowSpeed has also made headlines recently by claiming he met the renowned action star Jackie Chan during his time in China. Although he could not provide photographic evidence of their meeting, he expressed satisfaction that no such photo exists, suggesting a focus on the memory rather than the documentation.
