"Bro please say sike": IShowSpeed’s photographer Slipz announces departure, but fans think it’s just an April Fool’s joke

If the internet had a top 10 list of celebrities who keep coming back to internet headlines, then IShowSpeed might just be in the top 5. Every now and then you see him pulling a new stunt, starting from doing kung fu to backflips at the Great Wall of China. The popular YouTuber and streamer has taken the internet by storm many times, but this time, it is seemingly his photographer who took the cake home.

Apparently, IShowSpeed's photographer, Slipz, has just slipped into a departure from Speed's team, according to online reports, but fans are not sure whether they should laugh at the news or scratch their heads in confusion.

A netizen (@DonMendarez/X) wrote,

Some even went on to consider this an April Fool's prank. In the age of social media, where streamers and celebs often pull random pranks, the fans are doubtful if the departure is true.

Also, the reason behind fans distrust is the timing. The buzz hit the internet on no date other than April 1st—the day infamously known as April Fool's Day. Slipz was not just a team member— but the man who was literally Speed's visual sidekick. Behind Speed's over-the-top reactions to him pulling off backflips, Slipz was the man in action who captured them all.

Being none other than IShowSpeed's cameraman also means you are a chaos documentarian. Slipz uploaded a social media post with a long message addressed to Top Speed.

IShowSpeed is the human embodiment of 1000x playback speed. Starting from screaming from the gallery of FIFA to fanboying Cristiano Ronaldo, with his weird antics, Speed has formed a niche for being wildly unpredictable. Imagine how alert Slipz had to be, knowing Speed could literally be back at it anytime during the day.

But skeptical fans are dubbing the departure decision as that long introduction cum setup that leads to a wild April Fool's joke. Now that Slipz has dropped the camera for the Speed team, netizens wonder where his camera is. Taking a therapy session? Taking a detox day at the sea beach with essential oil therapy?
