• Ngl that's just crazy to see first the kid than there is this one lady who be having no chill with whatever she's saying to Speed if yall ask me.💀

Saw this on the way to Baltimore MD with an older gentleman driving the truck decked out with ads

Like his entire face is so much thinner or am i jsut making this up???

after restarting my phone (not the app, phone) it went away, not sure how to replicate it. a day prior I was looking on youtube “Ishowspeed ishowmeat rage” never looked anything up before

Anyone have a clue?

It was a humid Tuesday night in 2025, and Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. had just turned 21. The internet was in full chaos mode as usual. He had spent the last 14 hours straight in one of his legendary streams—screaming at the top of his lungs, doing push-ups while blindfolded, barking at his chat like a man possessed, and somehow ending up challenging a cardboard cutout of Cristiano Ronaldo to a dance battle.

The stream title read: “24 HOUR BIRTHDAY STREAM NO SLEEPING NO DYING (GONE WRONG???)”

Around 4:37 AM, Speed was in peak form. Shirtless, sweat dripping, veins popping in his neck. He had just finished a rage compilation where he broke three monitors (don’t ask how). The chat was spamming “SPEEDY WHAT THE FUCK” as he hyped himself up for the grand finale: a backflip off his gaming chair while holding his heavy custom PC tower like a trophy.

“CHAT WATCH THIS! THIS ONE FOR THE REAL ONES! AHHHHHHHH—”

He jumped.

The chair rolled.

Physics betrayed him.

The massive, water-cooled, RGB-blasting, 50-pound PC tower—still running with fans screaming like jet engines—teetered on the edge of his unstable IKEA desk. For one glorious, slow-motion second, it hung in the air like a falling meteor made of tempered glass and bad decisions.

Then it dropped.

Straight. Down. On. His. Head.

The impact made a sound that could only be described as CRUNCH mixed with the Windows error chime. Speed’s final words, caught perfectly by his still-recording mic, were:

“OH MY GAWD— CHAT I’M—”

The stream went black.

For seven terrifying minutes, the only thing chat could see was the “Stream ended” screen while the PC, now cracked and leaking coolant, continued playing sad Roblox music faintly in the background.

News broke before sunrise. “IShowSpeed Dies at 21 After PC Falls on Head During Birthday Stream” trended worldwide. Clips of the moment spread faster than any of his previous viral moments. TikTok edits set the fatal backflip to the sound of “Industry Baby.” Twitter (X) was a warzone of memes, RIP edits, and people saying “He died doing what he loved: being a menace.”

Some legends even claim that right before the PC made contact, Speed whispered, “At least I beat Kai Cenat’s stream record…”

In the fake alternate universe where this actually happened, his funeral was pure chaos. Mourners wore “SPEED IS GOATED” shirts. Someone released doves that immediately started barking. Ronaldo sent a signed jersey that was placed on the (closed) casket. Adin Ross tried to speak but just screamed for 45 seconds straight before crying.

And somewhere in the afterlife, a shirtless Speed is still running it back—yelling “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT” at angels while trying to backflip off clouds.

Rest in Power, King. You went out exactly how the fans always knew you would: dramatically, stupidly, and unforgettable.

This is literally the one game Speed cannot miss. And his team completely failed to prioritize it properly

They stayed last night in SF for absolutely no reason. They should have flew to Toronto last night so if any error like this pop up they’d have ample time to correct it and still arrive to the Portugal game

she was dead serious about Soonhari grape vs green apple and i can’t tell if bro was using the code or really fighting for the flavor lol
