IShowSpeed was shocked during a recent stream when an Asian woman started saying the N-word while reciting some song lyrics. 

The popular streamer was holding a talent show and listening to an Asian woman with glasses recite songs by Ye and YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Initially, Speed appeared to be a fan of the woman’s easygoing flow and smooth melodies — but that all changed when she started repeating lyrics containing the N-word that the rappers were using. 

In clips from the stream, Speed’s face is seen changing from having a smile on it to a look that’s closer to a mix of horror and shock. He says “what” repeatedly because he can’t believe she would not only say that, but say it in front of him without caring. 

Earlier this month, a Chinese woman screamed that she was racist to Speed during his stream in which he went around the country. After asking her to confirm that she’s racist, the woman doubled down on her statement but said that she loves his “girlfriend because she’s white people.” 

In another instance of recent racism that Speed experienced, he was called an N-word during a freestyle while in China. His opponent rapped to him, “You know I’m Chinese, you Black/But I can speak Chinese, you a ni**er.” 

Last year, when Speed was in Bulgaria, he faced a similar problem where people thought it was okay to say the N-word in front of him.
