"He said what???": IShowSpeed's fans react after Polish man says the n-word on stream

Popular streamer Darren aka IShowSpeed’s European summer has proven to be quite eventful, for both him and his fans. In his latest stream, the YouTuber, who is currently in Poland, came across an excited fan who called him the “n-word,” resulting in a lot of discourse on the Internet.

In one of IShowSpeed’s latest streams, he can be seen walking the streets of Poland and interacting with fans. In one such encounter, a fan approached Speed, asking about Ronaldo.

He said:

“Ronaldo Marcello you know?”

To this, the streamer responded with hearty fistbumps and said:

“Yes, nigga.”

The fan too responded with the same. The two then proceeded to do Ronaldo’s “Siuuuu” move. However, it appears that mid-siuuu, IShowSpeed realized that this Polish man had called him the n-word. He asked him what he just said. To this, the fan replied:

“I don't understand, sorry”

The above exchange has set IShowSpeed’s fan base on fire. While many expressed shock, many made fun of how the Polish man used not understanding as an excuse for getting away with saying the “n-word”. Many even pointed out the ease with which he seemingly said it:

“He said what???” said a fan.

““I don’t understand” as a cover up is insane LMFAOO,” wrote one fan.

Another said:

“Mf look like he used to saying that shit everyday 😭😭”

However, a few fans said that the fan may have simply repeated what Speed said, without knowing the connotations behind it. One of them said:

“I think he was just so excited to see you that he repeated what you said without thinking about it. Don’t say it if you don’t want to be called like that.”

Another said:

“I think the word itself wasn’t meant as a derogatory term. But I understand why it’s offensive for many.”
