However, this meteoric rise hasn\u2019t been without a bit of controversy. Just recently, a clip of Speed making \u201csexist\u201d comments went viral on social media, prompting Riot to ban his account across all their games. He posted an apology video shortly thereafter. Flagrant 2 co-host Andrew Schulz has explained his thoughts surrounding the recent controversy, saying that it\u2019s \u201cunfortunate\u201d Speed doesn\u2019t have a mentor. Andrew Schulz \u201cfeels bad\u201d for IShowSpeed During an April 12 episode of Flagrant 2, Schulz and his co-host, Akaash Singh, brought up Speed\u2019s recent controversy as it went viral on Twitter just days before. The duo agreed that what Speed said was \u201ccrazy,\u201d but Andrew expanded on his thoughts. Schulz explained: \u201cAt 17, you\u2019re not thinking about the rest of your life\u2026 He\u2019s probably making millions of dollars, and he made those millions of dollars saying the wildest s**t he can think of.\u201d One of the other crew members mentioned that it\u2019s hard to tell if Speed is joking with his comments or not, and that the YouTuber is crossing a fine line. \u201cI just feel bad that it\u2019s obvious that he doesn\u2019t have anyone in his corner giving him \u2018game,&#8217;\u201d Schulz continued. \u201cIt\u2019s just unfortunate\u2026 this is one of those things that makes me sad. He needs a mentor that tells him, \u2018If you say these things, you will get canceled.&#8217;\u201d (Topic starts at 2:27 in video) Andrew Schulz\u2019s comments are similar to popular Twitch streamer Asmongold\u2019s \u2014 who went on record slamming critics calling for Speed\u2019s ban on April 7. Speeds apologized for his comments, mentioning that he will continue to grow and get better.
