IShowSpeed Calls Yeat a ‘Funny, Odd Guy,’ Says He ‘Barked’ at Him

Yeat turned the tables on IShowSpeed when he barked at the streamer when they first met.

Around 50 minutes into a YouTube livestream on Tuesday (December 17), the internet personality was asked about what it was like to meet the Lyfestyle rapper, after Zack Bia posted pictures of the meet-up over the weekend.

"Yeat was actually cool, chat," Speed told his viewers. "He's funny, I'll tell you that. Funny odd guy, but he's cool in person."

He continued, "He actually barked at me first. I didn't get the chance to bark at him."

Barking, which the streamer is known for, makes sense for Yeat, who recently told The Face that he has a preference for speaking in Morse code because it allows him to "speak with no emotion."

In a 2023 interview with 032c magazine, Yeat explained that he would rather communicate with numbers than words, claiming that the behavior was brought on by an alien encounter during his childhood.

"I mean, on certain days, there are no words for me at all," he told the publication. "For example, I don't send addresses, I just send coordinates. I can just look at the numbers and know where it is, based on the equator. But often the numbers also relate to some of my businesses and companies. I actually have a few, but people don't know about them because they're privately held, and I don't want to deal with shareholders."
