IShowSpeed reacts to Kylian Mbappé joining Real Madrid weeks after streamer claimed otherwise
IShowSpeed started his career on Twitch before he was struck with an indefinite ban from the platform back in 2021. Since then he has been streaming on YouTube, and become quite a success having crossed the 25 million subscriber mark just a few days ago despite getting unbanned from Twitch.
As mentioned, his football-related content has found viewers from all over the world, be that IRL streams playing it on the streets of Brazil, streaming from the Ballon d'Or ceremony, or just him watching the FA Cup final with his date Amy Flamy.
IShowSpeed is known to weigh in on footballing news now and then. On top of commenting on Kylian Mbappé's Instagram post, he also made a post on X stating that he thought Kylian was going to Arsenal instead:
While he has not revealed why he thought so, the YouTuber had talked about Kylian Mbappé's transfer rumors a few weeks ago when the player revealed this would be his last season at Paris Saint-Germain FC. In a YouTube livestream dated May 10, the streamer claimed that Mbappé was not going to Real Madrid, and stated:
"All I gotta say, Imma unpause the video, y'all didn't hear from me, but what I will say is, he is not going to Madrid. You didn't hear from me though."
It is not clear what IShowSpeed meant, however, regardless his predictions have turned out to be incorrect as it has been officially confirmed that Kylian Mbappé will be playing for Real Madrid for the foreseeable future.
