CINCINNATI, OHIO: IShowSpeed was spotted scrolling through AliExpress, a well-known online retailer, during his most recent livestream. There, he discovered fake items featuring pictures of him.
The streamer made a great show of calling his "lawyer" to have the items taken off and was irritated to see them. The associate who answered the phone tossed about some large figures, saying that the content producer would demand hundreds of thousands of dollars from the violators.
IShowSpeed plans to sue the seller for his illegal merch
There was no real legal counsel present when IShowSpeed phoned the attorney. The speaker even mentioned that the streamer may get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars at one point in the conversation.
In the clip, IShowSpeed called a person who claimed to be a law enforcement official called Mike and said, “So basically we might have to sue these people from China. They are selling all socks and s**t, they're selling hoodies, beds.”
He further wondered, “Is this s**t in China?” and something caught his eye as he continued to scroll, causing him to shout, “What the f**k. Oh hell, hell to the f**king—Can we please get these people out of here?”
The person on the call asked IShowSpeed “Would you like me to sue them?” and Speed replied, “Yes please”. Speed further mentioned to the man on the call that the website is AliExpress.
The man said, "We are going to reach out to his family, we are going to reach out to his lawyers if he does have a lawyer. I think he is screwed, maybe pay you a fine of about 200,000 pounds. We will make sure to threaten to take him to court at the time."
IShowSpeed thanked "Mike" and claimed he would email him the link immediately. After the call ended, he scrolled through the website again, screaming "the f**k," and concluding by saying, "I mean bro, Imma buy me one but hell no."
The whole conversation was evidently staged and meant to be a humorous interaction for fans to see.
IShowSpeed buys new mansion
With more than 21 million followers on his primary YouTube account, IShowSpeed is clearly doing rather well in terms of his financial situation. This was evident on his stream on November 16 as well, as he chose to highlight his recently acquired property.
The streamer did not reveal the property's precise cost during the broadcast. But in a later video named 'Live Speedy', which he posted to his official YouTube account, he claimed the home was worth an astounding $10 million.
There was pre-existing furniture that did not appear to belong to the streamer, thus it is unknown if he has bought the mansion or is renting it. Official confirmation of this is still pending. However, most reports online suggest that he has bought the house.
