CINCINNATI, OHIO: YouTube star IShowSpeed hospitalized after 'Elephant Toothpaste' experiment mishap.

Popular YouTube personality Darren Watkins Jr, widely recognized as IShowSpeed, found himself in a precarious situation when his latest stunt, the 'Elephant Toothpaste' experiment, took an unexpected turn.

IShowSpeed's stunt takes a dangerous turn

IShowSpeed, known for his energetic and chaotic streams, boasts a substantial following of devoted fans.

However, his latest escapade left many concerned. During the 'Elephant Toothpaste' experiment, which aims to create a foamy substance through a chemical reaction, Watkins encountered difficulty breathing due to fumes that filled the room.

Concerned viewers witnessed the distressing moment on his stream as he struggled to breathe and gasped for air.

Prompted by the alarming situation, emergency services were called to the scene, and firefighters provided oxygen to stabilize the YouTuber.

A message in the YouTube chat from the official account reassured fans, stating, "Speed is currently with the firefighters. They're giving him oxygen so he can breathe. He should be fine, guys."

Fortunately, Watkins' condition improved, and Slipz confirmed his well-being.

Slipz shared a brief clip from the experiment, showing Watkins choking and gasping for air but assuring fans with the caption, "Speed is okay."

The 'Elephant Toothpaste' experiment is a common chemistry demonstration, typically involving a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and iodine in water, resulting in the formation of a foamy substance.

In this case, it led to a hazardous situation for IShowSpeed. Fans across social media have been expressing their concerns and relief over his recovery.

One user wrote, "Thanks for the update tell speed to get rest & take it easy" while the other user wrote, "Love you slipz thanks for the updates."

Another user wrote, "Ts was so mid."

Watkins is also known for his mischievous pranks, one of which recently landed a fan in hot water after he called their teacher a derogatory term "b*tch" on a livestream.

The fan even mentioned the possibility of facing suspension due to the consequences of the YouTuber's actions.
