Over the last few years, IShowSpeed has become one of the biggest names on the internet. The 19-year-old initially went viral for his love of Cristiano Ronaldo, and has even managed to link up with the footballing legend since then.
He’s also been a regular on Kai Cenat’s streams too, with the pair playing games like Chained Together andMinecraft in massive broadcasts. The Twitch star has even urged the platform to get Speed back from YouTube after his earlier bans from the Amazon-owned outlet.
He brought it up during his August 29 stream, questioning some of the names that had gotten recognition ahead of his friend. “No shade, no disrespect to nobody, ok? But how is it that my boy is not on this list,” he said before shouting out the likes of RCDWorld and Druski, who had made it.
“My boy got motion, you feel what I’m saying? It’s just crazy how he didn’t even make it, period.”
Kai himself was named as the number one influencer on the chart. He was also joined by Duke Dennis in the top five, giving Duke a shoutout as well.
While Kai might be annoyed that Speed didn’t make the list, he isn’t the sole streamer on there. He, Hasan Piker, and Pokimane are Twitch’s representatives. Kai and Hasan have also been on the list in back-to-back years.
