Tyreek Hill Clowns Noah Lyles for Barely Beating IShowSpeed
The internet was taken aback when Noah Lyles — ‘World’s Fastest Man Alive’ — was barely able to beat YouTube sensation IShowSpeed in a track race. Interestingly enough, NFL speedster Tyreek Hill, who has had heated exchanges with the Olympic gold medallist before, used this opportunity to poke fun at the world champion.
For context, Mr. Beast teamed up with Noah Lyles to challenge IShowSpeed to a race, with the winner taking $100,000 home. The 19-year-old YouTube streamer, who has never shied away from flexing his athletic prowess, drove more than three hours for this event.
His efforts nearly paid off too, as Speed almost beat Lyles before the Olympian pressed the gas pedals to win the 50-meter dash. Much like his gold-medal performance in Paris.
Nobody saw Lyles scraping a win against Speed, who, despite his impressive athleticism, was not expected to put in an impressive showing. And that too, against an Olympian. Tyreek Hill, however, wasn’t surprised.
The Dolphins star took to “X” and poked fun at Lyles, laughing at the track athlete’s previous confidence in challenging him. He found it amusing that Lyles, the top man on the track, barely scraped past an amateur.
“And track athletes think he gone beat me,” posted Hill on “X” with laughing emojis.
These shots by Tyreek toward Noah aren’t coming out of nowhere. The beef between the two athletes began after Lyles’ controversial remark that Super Bowl champions shouldn’t be called “The World Champions.”
Tyreek Hill’s beef with Noah Lyles isn’t something new
Days after Noah’s controversial ‘Super Bowl champions – not World Champions’ remark, Hill boldly claimed that he could beat Noah Lyles in a race if they were to compete. While Lyles responded to this claim by winning the gold medal on the track, he also made sure to communicate his response to Hill verbally.
Lyles did so by appearing on Nightcap and calling out Tyreek as a clout chaser, who goes on to challenge every fast runner but never shows up when it’s time to race. Noah declared that if Tyreek was serious, he would be more than happy to take the Cheetah up on his challenge. “If he’s serious about it, not just talking on the internet … if you’re serious about it, you’ll see me on track,” said Lyles.
The Dolphins star immediately responded to this, urging Lyles to stay true to his words and sign the contract. “Sign the contract and lock in that 50-yard race…” shot back Tyreek.
While the challenge didn’t come to fruition, Tyreek’s reaction to Speed racing Lyles is the latest chapter in their beef. While it’s hard to predict if we will ever be able to see the duo race against each other, one way to see who is faster would be to pit Tyreek against Speed, which almost happened earlier this year.
But the way things are going, it feels like there is more to this saga between the Cheetah and Lyles.
