IShowSpeed goes viral after getting into a barking match with a fan in Indonesia

Streamer "IShowSpeed" is currently touring Southeast Asia and has been involved in a series of viral IRL streams on his YouTube channel. In each one, he is met with hordes of fans thronging him, and sometimes, the interactions have been chaotic. Recently, the streamer visited Indonesia and walked around, ate traditional food, tried on Indonesian clothing, and interacted with the locals.

In one particular interaction, IShowSpeed met Yoshua Marcellos "celloszxz," a fan of his and an Indonesian YouTuber with over six million subscribers on the platform. Marcellos, who is also a boxer, met Speed in Jakarta and the two had an interesting interaction.

Celloszxz claimed that the custom Indonesian batik worn by IShowSpeed was from a company called USS, which is allegedly owned by him:

"It's from my company, ('You made this Batik?', asked IShowSpeed) Yes, my company, USS."

Batik, a traditional Indonesian textile art, is known for its intricate patterns created using a wax-resist dyeing technique.

Marcellos then howled like a wolf in excitement, intriguing Speed. The streamer grabbed the former's head and the two started a bark-off initiated by the former.

Barking is one of IShowSpeed's many outlandish antics. It has become a recognizable part of his persona, often used during moments of excitement. The act has been so strongly associated with the streamer that fans frequently imitate it and sometimes even walk up to him, barking, while he's out and about.

Really? Yo, who is this? You want to box me? ('...Yeah, I'm the strongest [boxer] on earth', said celloszxz)."

"Oh! You want to kill me man?! Don't kill me okay? I'm still young." (Timestamp - 3:03:40)
