In which Blueface responded, “If me and Speed walked down the street, they wouldn’t even know Speed,” Blueface responded.
He also suggested that music artists naturally have a broader audience because their work reaches different age groups and generations, while streaming personalities tend to attract a more specific demographic.
Blueface And Deshae Frost Hit The Streets To Test His Theory
Rather than leave the conversation at that, Deshae and Blueface took their debate to the streets to see whether strangers would recognize the rapper or iShowSpeed.
The two approached random people and asked about their familiarity with different entertainers, putting Blueface’s theory to the test.
During one interaction, a woman immediately recognized Blueface but couldn’t identify Deshae Frost when asked. When asked to name streamers she knows, she named Blueface before bringing up his children’s mothers, as well as DeenTheGreat and professional boxer Adrien Broner.
The interactions appeared to leave Blueface feeling vindicated in his argument.
