"That sh*t hurt!" - IShowSpeed hurt during a dance-off with Brazilian creator

IShowSpeed has some iconic dance moves, including his signature backflips. However, it seems that the streamer may have injured himself during his most recent attempt at them.

The streamer participated in a 1v1 dance battle against Boca De 09, a 16-year-old Brazilian creator and internet personality. However, Darren ended up worse off after injuring himself during the competition.

He stated:

"Holy sh*t, I think I broke my f**king knee. Oh f**k! Ah sh*t, that sh*t hurt. This little f**king ni**a! I should have never danced battled his crazy a** ni**a. I just broke my f**king knee 'cause of him, bro. "

After receiving assistance from Boca De 09, he exclaimed:

"Oh hell no! I'm about to die in Brazil! Obrigado ('Thanks' in Portuguese)."

It's worth noting that the streamer tends to exaggerate things as part of his online persona. Moments later, a Neymar look-alike entered the building, prompting the streamer to once again express excitement, likely indicating that he hadn't really broken any bones in his knee. Watch the clip here:
