IShowSpeed throws his headset while raging at his $100K computer setup after repeatedly dying to streamer snipers in Fortnite OG

With Fortnite OG returning on December 6, 2024, many streamers have been trying their hands at the game. However, some content creators like Darren "IShowSpeed" seem to be having less-than-ideal moments with the title. Clips of the YouTube streamer raging and throwing his headset at his brand-new setup worth $100K have gone viral on social media.

Earlier, IShowSpeed showed off his new computer and streaming setup on his stream a couple of days ago. The Cristiano Ronaldo-themed room was quite extravagantly decorated with custom 'Speed' decals paired with a new multi-monitor setup for the streamer.

However, IShowSpeed lost his cool while playing Fortnite OG as he kept being killed by stream snipers. At one point in his stream, he started raging at the camera and threw his headset at it. The YouTube cam feed was cut off momentarily due to this outburst. Darren could be heard showcasing his ire at the game, stating:

"What the f**k! Get off my f**king sh*t! Get the f**ck out of my game, this game is bullsh*t. On god, it's some f**king bullsh*t. On my life, f**k this f**king game!"

IShowSpeed seemingly called the cops on one of his stream snipers in Fortnite OG

IShowSpeed has become one of the biggest live streamers on the planet, known for his IRL streams around the world. The soccer enthusiast also plays a variety of video games on his channel, including Fortnite. As a popular content creator, he is also constantly plagued by stream snipers who purposefully try to spawn in his game to ruin the experience.

On his most recent stream playing Fortnite OG, something similar happened after the YouTuber kept dying to the same person in consecutive matches. Frustrated, IShowSpeed seemingly called a law enforcement officer and reported the player to the authorities.

On the call, the streamer sounded like he had done this before, and told the cop:

"Can I talk to Deputy John because I am having this experience problem again? I used to call back around a year ago, and I am a streamer, I am a YouTuber and I am having this problem where people are continuously stream sniping me. I have the dude's exact EPIC, but he still continues to stream snipe me."

He also went on to state that he just wanted to send a warning and not a legal notice:

"I don't want to send a letter of law, basically just a warning. I don't want to be an a**hole person."

While IShowSpeed did name the person on the call, readers should note that this does not really matter considering the streamer was getting griefed by other streamer snipers as well. It is unclear whether any action was taken by either EPIC or the authorities after the supposed complaint was made.
