During a short stream on his channel, YouTube megastar Darren "IShowSpeed" claims that Tyreek Hill, an American football player for the Miami Dolphins, is "ducking" him and making excuses after declining Speed's challenge to race him in a 40-yard dash. For context, the streamer announced he would be racing Hill, openly challenging him on a live stream.
In a clip posted on X, Speed accuses Hill of avoiding the race while making excuses.
The video showed the YouTuber announcing to the camera, stating:
"Tyreek Hill, y'all see it right here, live right now, he's ducking, he doesn't want to race the fastest person in the world, you just don't want to do it bro."
Hill then responded by saying that he would come to Speed personally one day, ready to race:
"Whenever I pull up on you, in a full suit, with a briefcase, you know what's in the briefcase. With my shoes on, ready to run, you know what time it is bro."
For more context, Speed trained with the Miami Dolphins, a National Football League (NFL) team, in a recent livestream. The streamer was previously scheduled to race the football player, but did not appear for the match-up, leading Hill to call the YouTuber a "no-show".
In the stream, we hear the NFL player decline the race, stating that he could only race Speed if he trained beforehand. Hill claims that this condition is part of his contract:
"I can't race you bro, because I ain't practiced today. If I had practiced today I could've raced you. It's in my contract."

Fans online are still anticipating this competition, waiting to see if the streamer could defeat a full-fledged professional American football player in a race.
IShowSpeed's interacts with athletes from across the sporting world
Speed centers much of his content around sports, collaborating with athletes like football legend, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Phoenix Suns basketball player, Kevin Durant.
IShowSpeed frequently displays signs of athleticism, jumping around, doing backflips, and sprinting, especially during his IRL streams.
These incidents have caused many online to speculate that the idea of the streamer defeating Tyreek Hill in a race might not be too far-fetched.
