"I'm about to freak the f**k out" - IShowSpeed gets emotional after fans troll him into thinking Cristiano Ronaldo has passed away

A clip from YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed's" latest livestream has garnered a lot of traction on social media. During the broadcast, fans trolled the streamer into thinking that his idol, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, had passed away.

"Bro, what the f**k is going on, bruh?! The f**k is going on, dog? Stop playing! Why are you playing like this, bro? Because I'm about to get f**king, like - I'm about to genuinely freak the f**k out! I'm about to freak the f**k out! I'm about to freak the f**k out, stop f**king playing! If y'all are playing, stop f**king playing right now, bro!"
