IShowSpeed appeared to have a tiny bit of a meltdown after he noticed something in the teaser trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael.
During a moment in the trailer, which sees the late pop star’s nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role, the numbers "6" and "7" appear in quick succession. When IShowSpeed was reacting to the trailer, he was caught off guard by the appearance of the numbers because of the absurd meme that was recently crowned Dictionary.com’s word of the year.
"6-7! Hold on, hold on," he enthusiastically reacted with a smile on his face, before realizing what he said. "Nah chat, my brain is fried. What is happening to me, bro?! I’m watching a Michael Jackson trailer, and I see 6-7? What the fuck is going on with me, bro?! Oh my God. See chat, this is what y’all doing to people, bruh."
The "67" meme has exploded in popularity in recent months, with search engine results for the numbers skyrocketing. As Dictionary.com noted upon announcing it had achieved word of the year status, the meme "experienced a dramatic rise beginning in the summer of 2025." Most other two-digit numbers failed to achieve such a boost in searches.
The meme can be traced back to Skrilla's "Doot Doot," which appeared in countless viral clips, especially on TikTok. While Skrilla himself said that "67" can mean whatever anyone wants it to mean, he suggested that it indicates "negative to positive." Others have suggested that it means "so-so," or "maybe this, maybe that," or just a non-sequitur response to any question asked.
In other IShowSpeed news, the streamer is not happy about the news that Grand Theft Auto VI has been pushed back once again.
On Thursday (November 6), Rockstar Games announced that the release date for the latest installment of the hugely popular video game series has been pushed back to November 19, 2026.
"I'ma be fucking 50 when this shit come out, bruh," Speed said, reacting to the news. "I'ma have kids. I'ma have a wife. I'ma be married. I'ma have a pet dog. I'ma have a cat. I'ma be a whole new man when this shit come out."
