American streamer IShowSpeed experienced one of the tensest moments of the 2026 World Cup while attending the match between Argentina and Egypt from the stands.
In a video that quickly began circulating on social media, a fan standing behind the content creator can be seen making gestures imitating a monkey while looking directly at him. The scene was captured by cameras and sparked an immediate wave of criticism.
Speed reacted with visible discomfort when he realized what was happening, while the footage continued to go viral across different platforms.
Before the images were released, FIFA confirmed that it had opened an investigation to clarify a similar incident that occurred during the Argentine national team’s match against Cape Verde.
The episode sparked a heated discussion on social media. While many described the gestures as clearly racist, others asked to wait for the result of the official investigation before learning the organization’s conclusions.
