iShowSpeed has been celebrating win after win over the past few months, from wrapping up a successful tour around the Caribbean to performing his Gold-certified track at the FIFA World Cup. Now, the streamer had even more to celebrate as he neared 60 million YouTube subscribers. However, once he officially hit the milestone, the stream quickly took an unexpected turn.
On Friday, iShowSpeed had fans excited as he geared toward his goal of 60 million YouTube subscribers. Throughout the livestream, he added one balloon for every 10,000 new subscribers as his supporter count steadily climbed.
After reaching 59.90 million subscribers, the first giant balloon was added, followed by a second balloon after he reached 59.95 million subscribers. Finally, after hitting 59.97 million subscribers, the last balloon lifted Speed into the air as he closed in on 60 million.
Once Speed was lifted high into the air, the celebration quickly took a scary turn. The balloons suddenly popped, sending him crashing back to the ground
Speed laid on the ground after the hard fall. And many questioned whether he was okay and if he had suffered any serious injuries. Moments later, the livestream abruptly ended. The streamer later took to his Instagram Story, showing a visibly banged-up and bleeding thumb while receiving medical attention. He also reassured supporters that he was okay following the scary incident.
Speed said, In a medic Im okay alright. Were okay it was crazy. Thank yall for 60 million love yall.
Many gathered under The Shade Room and across social media to celebrate IShowSpeed reaching 60 million YouTube subscribers. While celebrating the milestone, many were still shocked by the scary fall.
