The event also featured Tom Brady as a special guest, adding to the star-studded lineup.
Speed, never one to miss an opportunity to show off, even pulled off a backflip in front of the iconic figures, continuing his streak of impressive athletic feats.
This follows his recent victory over Travis Scott in a foot race, cheered on by Quavo and other celebrities, marking another highlight in Speed's growing list of memorable encounters.
Despite these high points, not all of Speed's interactions with celebrities have gone smoothly. His meeting with Kevin Durant on Logan Paul's ImPaulsive podcast is a prime example.
During the episode, Speed's intense, almost adoring gaze at Durant led to an awkward moment, with Durant jokingly telling Speed to back up.
While the encounter was a bit cringe-worthy, it undoubtedly added to Speed's viral fame, proving that even uncomfortable moments can turn into internet gold for the popular streamer.
IShowSpeed's ability to connect with major stars, whether through athletic challenges or unexpected interactions, has cemented his place as a unique figure in the entertainment world.
His fearless approach, whether flipping for Lil Wayne and Tom Brady or challenging Travis Scott to a race, continues to captivate fans and create buzz online.
As he navigates these encounters, both smooth and awkward, IShowSpeed is carving out a niche where every interaction, no matter how it unfolds, adds to his growing legend.
