The video soon went viral but the rapper and the streamer received criticism. Trolls hated the rap song that Stan sang during Speed's livestream.
One wrote, "Ear bleeding."
Whereas another user called it "cringe" and said, "Chapri ness and cringe ness out of the world."
The third commentator commentated, "Two jokers in one frame."
Fourth commentator remarked, "hard listen bro."
IShowSpeed even listened to MC Stan's other recordings and danced hard wearing a Virat Kohli's jersey and a Dhoti (Indian attire).
T-Series copyrighted IShowSpeed's stream from India
Speed arrived in Mumbai, India, on October 12, and was noticed riding about in a taxi. He performed a freestyle with the Indian rapper MC Stan and even participated in a game of cricket on his live feed.
However, YouTube abruptly ended the three-hour show owing to "Policy Violations."
Fans claim that this was caused by the copyrighted Bollywood music that IShowSpeed was listening to in his cab.
Both of the songs he played, including Honey Singh's 'Blue Eyes' and Akon's debut Bollywood single 'Chammak Challo,' are owned by the record label T-Series.
The primary justification for the removal is that IShowSpeed chose to play copyrighted music on his speaker rather than his car radio for the duration of the broadcast.
Although it's not a lifetime suspension, Speed will need to proceed with caution as accruing more strikes in a row could make the situation worse.
