Following this incident, IShowSpeed was branded “IShowMeat” by the internet.
Since then he has been bullied by his viewers and fans on stream chat and most other social media applications. He even claimed it has been affecting his mental health negatively. But things went from bad to worse when he was mocked by his own father.
Upon viewing his father’s TikTok, Speed decided to confront him on stream. Let’s dive in to see what his father has to say about the situation.
