Over the last few months, iShowSpeed has experienced some absolutely insane growth on his YouTube streams. The young streamer regularly attracts over 100k viewers every time he goes live, and even had to get police help while in the UK as he got swarmed by fans. Despite his massive popularity, Speed has come under fire quite a few times as well. He\u2019s recently been accused of being racist towards a Chinese fan while at the World Cup and he\u2019s also been accused of helping promote a cryptocurrency \u201cscam\u201d to his fans. Speed has apologized for both incidents and has also had the backing of a number of streamers too, as they\u2019ve regularly pointed to his age as a mitigating factor for a few of his decisions. Kai Cenat is just the latest to do so, noting that Speed is simply too \u201coblivious\u201d to things. Kai Cenat defends iShowSpeed amid cancelation attempts The Twitch star appeared on the NELK Boys\u2019 FULL SEND Podcast on December 9, discussing his rise in the streaming world, his plans for the future, and his relationship with Speed. \u201cHe\u2019s so young and he\u2019s so smart because he\u2019s international. I feel like people gotta watch him to really understand him. He gets a lot of criticism for s*it that he says and does, but it\u2019s so crazy because there\u2019s been times where they try to \u2018cancel\u2019 him over certain s*it but he\u2019s so oblivious,\u201d Kai said about the YouTuber. \u201cHe\u2019s young, like, he deadass doesn\u2019t know right from wrong, and at first I thought it was an act like he\u2019d put on for streaming s*it, but when I\u2019m with him, he\u2019ll deadass don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d Timestamp of 1:09:37 Kai noted that the pair have \u201ctaught\u201d each other things whenever they\u2019ve linked up, and reiterated that Speed isn\u2019t putting on act \u2013 which has been another criticism of his. The two streaming phenoms haven\u2019t teamed up for a stream in a while, but it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see it happen again before long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kai Cenat defends \u201coblivious\u201d iShowSpeed amid critic attempts to \u2018cancel\u2019 him Full Send\/Kai CenatTwitch star Kai Cenat stepped to the defense of fellow streamer iShowSpeed during an appearance on the FULL SEND Podcast, claiming that some critics have tried to \u2018cancel\u2019 the YouTuber.
