Shortly after his Japan tour, Speed accidentally flashed his privates on stream, which led to the internet giving him the moniker IShowMeat. He also got to celebrate hitting the 20 million subscribers mark on YouTube in August 2023.
Despite being such a popular personality, Speed’s OmeTV stream was cut short by two unexpected bans. Let’s dive in to look for the reason and find out how his fans reacted to the incident, shall we?
IShowSpeed gets banned from OmeTV twice in a row
Speed tries to include a variety of content types in his livestream. Although he is most popular for his gaming content, he often uses Omegle and OmeTV as a platform to connect with his fans all around the world. He also uses these platforms to engage in discourse with his followers.
In his most recent live stream, IShowSpeed was seen using OmeTV and meeting a ton of people. While speaking to another guy, his video chat suddenly froze, leaving the YouTuber shocked and confused. The information on the screen stated that he was banned from the video chat showing his face.

Speed immediately asks on stream if he was banned from the chat just because of his face. He later addressed the situation and exclaimed, “Am I that ugly, am I that f**king ugly that you ban me because of my f**king face”. He asked his viewers if they were serious about this and added that there was no way he was that ugly. However, he finally agreed to pay OmeTV in order to get unbanned, claiming, “Don’t ever in your life ever do that”.

IShowSpeed’s previous bans from other platforms
This is not Speed’s first time facing bans in his career. IShowSpeed has been permanently banned from Twitch a few years ago. He potentially made s*xist comments targeting other people, which got him permanently banned from the platform. The official mail informed that he was being banned from the platform on the grounds of s*xual coercion and intimidation.
Recently, Kai Cenat, a live-streaming star, stepped up to help him get unbanned from the platform. Kai claimed he would quit streaming on Twitch if Speed was not unbanned. Kai Cenat was also recently seen with Speed meeting the Twitch CEO in order to get the YouTuber unbanned.
