Explaining how the IShowSpeed and Tyreek Hill rivalry started

In July 2024, YouTube streamer IShowSpeed and NFL wide forward Tyreek Hill were scheduled to train together. However, Hill later explained that Speed never turned up, labeling the streamer as a "no-show." Explaining his collaboration, he said:

"I told the coach to put him out and show the players. I wanted to see how he did out here with us the whole day. The group of receivers. I mean, just mixing up a little bit, changing it up, just a little lifestyle up, to see if he can hang with us in the sun."

Although the initial meeting between the streamer and Tyreek Hill didn't take place as planned, on August 3, 2024, Speed finally made it to the Miami Dolphins' training facilities. There, he met Tyreek Hill face-to-face and challenged him to a one-on-one race.

However, when asked, Hill declined to race Speed. While he didn't provide a specific reason for turning down the challenge, fans speculated that it might have been due to concerns about potential injury. Reacting, Speed said:

"Tyreek Hill, y'all see it right here, live right now, he's ducking, he doesn't want to race the fastest person in the world, you just don't want to do it, bro."
