During this show, IShowSpeed appeared with Instagram model Ash Kash, and the event was hosted by the popular streamer Adin Ross. In a virtual date setting, IShowSpeed asked Kash a hypothetical question about a post-apocalyptic scenario where they were the last two people on Earth. He inquired whether she would be willing to reproduce with him to create more humans. When she declined, IShowSpeed responded with a troubling tone, stating, “If we’re the last two people on Earth, who’s going to stop me?”

During a stream on July 31, renowned YouTuber IShowSpeed’s friend, Kai Cenat, whobroke several Twitch records earlier this year, disclosed that he had engaged in a discussion with Dan Clancy, the CEO of Twitch. During the conversation, Kai strongly advocated for the immediate unbanning of IShowSpeed, a request to which Clancy readily expressed agreement. Kai also urged the CEO to take action, saying, “So, CEO, do what you’ve got to do.”
In addition to the call for IShowSpeed’s return, Kai mentioned that he had made other requests as well, though he did not delve into the specifics. It’s important to note that a few months earlier, bothCenat and IShowSpeed had launched a joint showon the platform Rumble. This decision was widely seen as a response to Twitch’s policy of not allowing banned streamers on the platform, prompting them to explore alternative platforms for their collaborative content.
While the outcome of IShowSpeed’s potential unban from Twitch remains uncertain, his return would undeniably stir intense debates within the community. Twitch has previously faced criticism for alleged double standards in its enforcement of policies. For example, in March 2023, renownedTwitch streamer xQc lambasted the platformfor what he believed to be inconsistent enforcement of its policies. He pointed out that Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr was permitted to stream himself participating in gambling content on Twitch, despite the platform’s recent ban on such activities.
