YouTuber and streamer iShowSpeed is currently visiting Brazil and shared a clip on YouTube where he was "robbed by a cartel in Brazil live on stream".
Speed, known for his controversial content, recently left his fans stunned with a clip where he claimed to have been robbed by a cartel in Brazil. Initially appearing serious, it was later revealed as a prank orchestrated by content creator Arab.
Arab had initially considered using guns and lethal weapons for this 'kidnapping', but opted against it due to the restrictions on YouTube, as opposed to Kick, known for its lax content rules.
Tasteless Kidnapping Prank On YouTuber Speed Goes Viral
Speed was genuinely shocked, stating that he had no prior knowledge of the prank, and expressed his anger towards Arab. Despite the controversy, Arab defended the prank, citing its viral potential.
The realism of the prank was noted by viewers, with a comment from @gamersvr6379 pointing out that authentic Brazilian scenarios would likely involve AKs and M16s, not wooden plates.Even my pranks ain't fake

While the incident was a prank, it serves as a reminder of the potential dangers and responsibilities associated with producing online content.
Hopefully, Speed's future endeavors will steer clear of such real-life risks. Imagine someone like him carrying a gun because of the dangers of the favelas.
Well… it was probably all planned from the beginning. Watch the clip and decide for yourself:
