CINCINNATI, OHIO: Renowned YouTuber IShowSpeed recently expressed his support for AI-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club where his idol Cristiano Ronaldo plays.
Speed was previously a well-known Manchester United fan, but his recent decision came after Manchester United's loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League Group Stage match.
Following Speed’s announcement, YouTuber and Boxer KSI didn't hesitate to respond to Speed's tweet, sparking a debate between the two content creators. AI-Nassr FC also took notice of Speed's decision and shared a heartfelt message in response.
Moreover, the article underscores the recent confrontation that transpired in the most recent installment of the '20 Women vs 1' series.
IShowSpeed claims, 'I will become a fan of Al Nassr'
In a recent tweet, IShowSpeed voiced his support for AL Nassr FC and announced that he would no longer be a fan of Manchester United.
IShowSpeed stated, "I am no longer a United fan. I've been a United member since 1987 and a season ticket holder since 1999. I'm not going to renew my season ticket. Ten Hag and Onana are outlawed as of today. I will become a fan of Al Nassr now, where they actually know how to run a football club."
This decision by Speed caught the attention of AI Nassr, who responded by sharing a short clip of Speed wearing their jersey along with the caption, "You're already one of us!"
Furthermore, KSI, a well-known Arsenal enthusiast, responded to IShowSpeed's declaration of switching loyalty to Al-Nassr after Manchester United's recent defeat, expressing his amusement with a sequence of laughing emojis. This sparked an exchange of comments between the two YouTubers.
Speed retorted to KSI's laughing emojis with the comment, "Your club just lost too, what are you laughing for, you donut?"
In response to the "Donut" remark, KSI playfully continued the banter. He shared an image displaying the top eight teams in the English Premier League, with Arsenal in the third position, conspicuously omitting Manchester United, currently languishing in the tenth spot.
IShowSpeed, however, didn't back down and countered with a picture of Manchester United and claimed, "can't find arsenal ucl trophy'

IShowSpeed's decision to support Al Nassr FC created a sensation on the internet, drawing in over 4k comments and accumulating an impressive 135.6K likes.
One fan said, "Manchester United need to sack everyone including the CEO and let’s give to the Arabs. They will change everything and build a better team. We are not a serious team at all."
Another fan said, "Welcome to the greatest club in the Middle East." One other fan stated, "Everyone is waiting for you." While a user said, "Bro 😭😭 you're leaving us." Another user trolled Speed, "We can't win with him"
KSI playfully mocks IShowSpeed by referring to him as 'IShowMeat'
In the renowned Sidemen '20 vs 1' series, IShowSpeed made a notable guest appearance. However, when introducing the streamer, KSI kicked off the video with these words:
"Welcome to what might be the greatest 20 vs 1 ever. IShowMeat, I mean, IShowSpeed is the worldwide streaming phenomenon everyone is talking about, especially because he can't even score in a Sidemen Charity Match."
The teasing yet entertaining introduction understandably provoked frustration in the streamer, prompting him to exclaim.
IShowSpeed claimed, "Bro, see, this is what I'm talking about. Like, he (KSI) never said this to my face, bro."
"Like, the video just dropped and you are doing that sh*t! Why do people keep f**king with me? I'm sick of people who keep f**king with me! Like bro, I'm genuinely sick of it. He didn't say that face-to-face, and now he wants to say this..." Speed added.
