Watch: IShowSpeed confronts his father for singing about his wardrobe malfunction

As mentioned before, the clip of the father singing about #IShowM*at has been going viral for a couple of days. The streamer himself was in shock after watching it and promptly decided to call up his dad. At first, he could not believe it and questioned the veracity of the clip, asking chat:

"I'm calling my dad, there's no way! Chat, is this actually real, bro? Like, dead*ss, is this real, is this f*cking real? 'Cus I am about to dead*ss call my dad right now! I swear to god wallahi, I'm not trolling bro."

For context, his father's song "I show the m*at, to make you feel complete" is a reference to the viral hashtag #IShowM*at, which went viral on social media websites such as X after IShowSpeed accidentally flashed his privates on stream while playing a horror game called Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach.

On his comeback stream after the scandal, the streamer himself had almost broken down crying as he told his audience about the mental toll of the accident and the reactions from his family. This makes his father's song even more bemusing to certain viewers. Shortly after watching the clip, the streamer called up his dad.

IShowSpeed's father immediately started giving excuses for the song and flat-out denied calling his son IShowM*at, claiming he was referring to himself to drag attention away from the YouTuber:

"I wasn't calling you that, I was calling myself that. They're clipping out the wrong part, I was saying that 'I am...' I was trying to take the heat off you. I am looking out for you man."

The streamer was initially reluctant to forgive his father, but after consulting more of the family members who were present at the time, he seemed to have changed his mind.

IShowSpeed may still be recovering from the sinus infection he got in Japan but that did not stop him from attending the recent US Open Cup clash between Cincinnati and Inter Miami in his hometown, where he saw Messi's side emerge triumphant.
