Popular internet personalities Darren "IShowSpeed" and Nicholas "Nick Eh 30" seem to be in a feud. On December 29, 2024, X user @IShowSpeedHQ shared a 20-second clip from the YouTube star's ongoing Fortnite OG marathon livestream with Kai Cenat. In the video, once can see Darren discovering that Nick Eh 30 had blocked his number.

Once he realized this, IShowSpeed said:

"[Automated message says, 'Your call has been forwarded to a voicemail service. It is not initiated by the customer you're calling.] (Kai Cenat responds, 'Hey, you got blocked.') Nick Eh 30 really blocked me? (Kai Cenat says, 'He blocked your dumb a**.') Come on!"

Later in the day, the Fortnite streamer reposted the netizen's post and wrote:

"Don't grief my 100-player roleplay next time."

Earlier, on October 13, 2024, IShowSpeed collaborated with Nick Eh 30 for a custom Fortnite roleplay session. At one point, the Canadian personality asked Darren whether he "thought he was the king." In response, IShowSpeed used the N-word and killed Nick Eh 30 in the game.

Nicholas seemed to be upset by the 19-year-old's shenanigans and decided to ban him from his future custom Fortnite lobbies:

"What?! Yo! Speed! Okay, bro! You're banned. You're banned. Hey, you're never joining my (Fortnite) customs ever again. Bye!"

IShowSpeed responds to Nick Eh 30 seemingly confirming that he blocked his number

At the 50-hour mark of the Fortnite OG marathon broadcast, IShowSpeed discovered Nick Eh 30's post mentioned above, in which he seemed to confirm that he had blocked his number.

Expressing his surprise at the 29-year-old's decision, Darren remarked:

"'Nick Eh 30 blocked Speed.' He actually... Nick Eh 30, you actually blocked me?! Nick Eh 30, you actually blocked my number? Ain't no way he actually blocked my number! No! What? Just because I grieved his custom (Fortnite game)? Like, huh?!"

Kai Cenat chimed in with his thoughts, saying that Nick Eh 30 takes his custom Fortnite lobbies "seriously":

"That n***a really takes Fortnite so serious."

Nick Eh 30 isn't the only streamer who has recently commented on IShowSpeed. On December 29, 2024, Twitch and Kick streamer Felix "xQc" called out Epic Games for supposedly doling out preferential treatment to Darren and Kai Cenat because the game developer provided the content creators with an account that could get players banned for stream sniping.
