Messi blocked IShowSpeed on Instagram
Ishowspeed is a famous YouTuber with 16.5 million subscribers on the platform. During the live stream, IshowSpeed revealed that he has been blocked by football legend Lionel Messi on Instagram. Appearing to be in a dilemma, he continuously said, “He pressed my account.”
It is unclear why Messi has blocked IShowSpeed, but the YouTuber has been known to berate the football legend in the past. In his YouTube video, IShowSpeed remarks that the block is "understandable" and says Messi must have viewed his profile to block it. While he couldn't access Messi's Instagram with his primary account, he did so using his alternate account. But he didn’t stop there.
From football to cricket
IShowSpeed then tried to prove that he can connect with other prominent sporting figures. He began with the Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, saying he has access to connect with them. He then turns his attention to another Indian cricketer, MS Dhoni, yelling, “Who the F**k?” He then googles Dhoni and says, “He’s a F***ing library teacher.” He also remarks, “Dhoni retired, He doesn't even play,” besides claiming, “Virat Kohli is better than MS Dhoni.”
