iShowSpeed practically knocked himself out while attempting to do a backflip in front of his girlfriend, Vanessa, recently on stream.

iShowSpeed was streaming with Kai Cenat for a Fortnite OG marathon live stream while his girlfriend sat in a chair in front of his computer setup. After chastising Cenat for putting him on the spot. iShowSpeed concentrated for a few seconds before attempting a backflip.

An attempt was all it was, because iShowSpeed’s legs came crashing into his desk — sending dust particles in the air and his entire body convulsing in pain to the floor. Cenat and Vanessa were both shocked while iShowSpeed seemed more embarrassed than in pain.

iShowSpeed’s backflip fail was surprising, seeing that just a few months ago he was attempting to beat the backflip world record. In October, he managed to get to 660 backflips before he claimed that he could no longer move his body. The current world record for backward somersaults was set in 2019 by Nico Scheicher with 1,001 completed in 24 hours — so iShowSpeed still has a ways to go.

During iShowSpeed and Cenat’s recent stream, iShowSpeed introduced Vanessa to the audience. She was initially nervous to get on camera, but eased up after being introduced by her beau. “Anyways, y'all, boys and girls, this is my girl Vanessa. She is 20 years old,” he said. After joining she answered three questions that he asked so the audience could know more about who she is: “Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? What's your favorite anime? Bend or top?” Vanessa responded with, “Ronaldo. One Piece. Bend.”

In another wild moment from the stream, iShowSpeed accidentally took a honey pack and had to deal with its effects the hard way. While playing Fortnite, he consumed a real supply drop that was sent to him without realizing that it had the sexual stimulant in it.

Sure enough, moments later, he had a visible tent in his pants while telling Cenat over and over, “This honey pack is hitting.”
