‘Speed is really Speedo’: Fans react as IShowSpeed calls Kai Cenat “too short” to race and announces gaming marathon next week

IShowSpeed has been the talk of the town after beating Ashton Hall four times in a row. His fine showing against Hall, whose morning routines revolve around running, has led to clamor among fans for a new celebrity showdown, this time against fellow streamer Kai Cenat. Speed has, however, moved to brush off the challenge by claiming that Cenat is too short to race.

In the recent clip going viral on social media, IShowSpeed can be seen playfully dismissing the challenge of Kai Cenat by making fun of his height, while Naruto's Sadness and Sorrow soundtrack plays in the background for dramatic effect. The streamer also took time to announce an upcoming gaming marathon that he is set to host with Kyle. In the clip, Speed can be heard saying:

"Sit your 5'5, fat, stinky a**, dread a** down. This racing s**t is not for you. Kai, you're 5'2. You're not beating nobody in a race. This makes me sad. SIT DOWN!!"

IShowSpeed's tongue-in-cheek remark has been lapped up by fans on social media as well, with many fans joining in on the joke. Users were quick to take sides on the hypothetical scenario as well, with the overwhelming majority siding with Speed in the unlikely event of the race happening. Others were happy with the announcement of the gaming marathon.

One fan commented:

"Speed is really Speedo"

Another fan quipped:

"That was way too personal to come back and pretend to be chill"

Another fan joked:

"Speed could beat Kai Cenat in a race while carrying Kai Cenat"

A fourth fan remarked:

"Bet, I'm ready for that gaming marathon"

Yet another fan chimed in:

"Kai cenat runs like Shaggy"

IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat's rivalry

As two of the most popular streamers today, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed have frequently been compared by their fans to see who comes out on top. The two, however, have not let the noise get to them and enjoy a good relationship with each other. They often engage in playful banter with each other, and their rivalry has consistently entertained fans.

They also take part in friendly competitions against each other, which are focused on gaming and sports. They've played Flag Football and soccer matches against each other. Earlier this year, Cenat was also quizzed about IShowSpeed's remarks about being better than him at Basketball, claims which were denied by the streamer. After Speed's recent comments, one will definitely want to follow the reaction of Kai Cenat.

Speed's recent showings against Noah Lyles and Ashton Hall significantly enhanced his reputation as a track star and have even led him to express interest in participating in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Although the streamer might have ruled Kai Cenat out as a contender, 2028 might be a little too soon to realize his goal of making it to the Olympics.
