On August 16, 2024, IShowSpeed collaborated with a number of celebrities at the Fanatics Fest in New York, and clips of him racing Travis Scott during the event went viral on social media. The YouTube star, who is known for his athleticism, raced the rapper live on stream.
Although IShowSpeed won the race, he was visibly affected by leg cramps and was forced to lie down. Seizing the moment, Travis Scott playfully trolled the streamer by pouring what appeared to be water or soda on his calves, saying:
"Yeah man, let me put some of that on that."
IShowSpeed immediately recoiled and started barking at Travis Scott. However, the music producer was unfazed. He walked up to the camera and continued trolling the content creator:
"Yeah man, Travis-showspeed. You're going to race me? This sh*t's going to happen"
"Bye bye Travis": IShowSpeed beats Travis Scott in a race on latest YouTube stream
IShowSpeed has been obsessed with racing for some time now. He was recently even challenged by a Polish runner who competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
While that race may not happen, the streamer took advantage of all the opportunities he had at Fanatics Fest and challenged a few celebrities.
One of the top moments from his event stream was when he met up with Travis Scott. A clip of their impromptu race in an apparent warehouse has gone viral on websites like X, garnering millions of views within hours.
Both participants looked excited to race each other, and IShowSpeed even asked if they should bet some money on the winner:
"Alright man, about to race my man Travis. You want to put no money on it?"
Travis Scott seemed quite content to not bet anything, shouting:
"Man let's do this sh*t!"
The race was over in a matter of seconds, with the YouTuber ecstatic after emerging victorious. Upon finishing the race, the content creator could be seen talking smack about his opponent:
"Bye bye Travis, bye bye Travis. Get out of here, bro! He didn't have me, he did not have me!"
However, shortly afterwards, IShowSpeed suffered cramps in one of his legs and had to lie on the ground to recover.
Travis Scott was not the only person the streamer raced at the event; he also outran a UFC fighter on the same livestream.
