In a recent social media post, popular YouTuber Jimmy "MrBeast" revealed that the sliding tackle from Darren "IShowSpeed" during yesterday's Sidemen Charity Match is still hurting him. Both American internet personalities were part of opposing squads in the football match.
The Sidemen Charity match was one of the biggest creator-led events of the year, with a star-studded lineup comprising big streamers and YouTubers from Europe and North America. The creators were divided into YouTube All-Stars and the Sidemen FC, with Darren playing in the former and Jimmy representing the latter.
The viewers witnessed one of the first major tackles of the match before even the two-minute mark when IShowSpeed slid and caught MrBeast on his knees. Jimmy recently posted the clip of the incident on X, formerly Twitter, and revealed that his knees were throbbing when he stood up today:
"Not gonna lie it’s the next day and I went to stand up and my right knee was throbbing lol"
