IShowSpeed is living his best life in China, and recently he found himself in the middle of another hilarious incident. The 'Nae N***a' song is the bane of his streaming existence and fans have long played the song to get a reaction out of the YouTuber. This incident was no different as hundreds of fans started singing the chorus together and Speed officially lost it. He hurled himself into the crowd, which led to chaos all around.
Hilarious fan reactions to Speed launching himself into the crowd
Before we get into the specifics of the situation, we would like to clarify that the song doesn't have any racial slurs in it. It is pronounced as 'Na ge' in Chinese which means That one. Speed is also well aware of this but his brain goes into short-circuit mode whenever he hears the song.
Of course, to an English speaker, the harmless song can sound like a slur and that only adds to the absurdity of the situation. Fans in China pulled out the ultimate troll move and Speed had no answer to that except launching himself into the crowd. Netizens had a field day on the internet as they poked fun at the hilarity of the situation:
"Bro turned a concert into WWE real quick, crowd caught a beat and a beatdown at the same time", joked one fan (via X / @HixAce)
"Bro really said “if y’all don’t shut up, I’m becoming the WiFi signal in this stadium” and dove in like it’s WWE Raw....." quipped another (via X / @Saiqamir5)
"He knows it’s a different meaning he just playing into character lmao", added another fan (via X / @SvpremeKy)
It was a meme-fest on social media as fans debated whether Speed was just playing into his character or if he really did forget the real meaning of the song and instead took it as a personal attack. He just marched towards the arena like it was a WWE ring and started throwing hands at the fans in attendance. It's a great wonder that he didn't bark at the fans while taking them on!
The fact that he thought that he would stop the song by jumping into the crowd only adds to the absurdity of the situation. Fans on social media were left in stitches as they questioned Speed's motives for letting fly in the crowd:
"Wtf was he even trying to do?", wondered one fan (via X / @irdgafnomo)
"Dude could have been given fist sandwiches trying to act tough", another fan chimed in (via X / @Vitamvivere_1)
In the video that is going viral on social media, IShowSpeed can be audibly heard asking the fans to shut up before they broke into the chorus, but they wouldn't listen to him. The song isn't exactly Mozart, but the fans in attendance chanted it like it was their official anthem. Even the police and bodyguards were seen laughing, unsure if they should intervene or join in:
"Tears man even the cops were laughing", joked one fan (via X / @txffy838)
Another fan shared a snapshot of a man howling at the top of his lungs:
Speed's stopover in China keeps getting more absurd by the day. As he hurled himself into the crowd, fans were left wondering if it was a genuine misunderstanding or the greatest marketing stunt of all time. The fact that he thought that he would stop the madness by letting loose in the crowd is really the cherry on top.
Who knows if he was genuinely spooked by the incident, or if he just wanted a chance to try his freshly learned Kung-Fu moves, but what he did achieve was turn a simple misunderstanding into a global event!
