During a live stream, popular content creator IShowSpeed encountered a frightening situation when his robot dog, equipped with a flamethrower, unexpectedly attacked him. After his clothing caught fire, the streamer was forced to jump into a nearby pool.
IShowSpeed, known for his unpredictable and dynamic live shows, recently introduced a new ‘pet’ to his audience—a robot dog. However, this new addition proved more hazardous than anticipated. It misinterpreted the command to make the robot bark and activated its flamethrower, setting the streamer’s pants on fire.
This incident occurred live, adding a dramatic flare to what is typically a controlled environment. Although it resulted in a viral video, it underscores the unpredictable nature of incorporating high-tech gadgets into live performances.
IShowSpeed, who attributes his inspiration to become a streamer to soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo, continues to engage his audience with various stunts and adventures. His admiration for Ronaldo has even influenced his style, including customizing his Lamborghini in the colours of Portugal and acquiring memorabilia like a $10,000 shirt signed by Ronaldo from his Real Madrid days.
