Twitch and YouTube stars Kai Cenat and Darren “IShowSpeed”encountered an unexpected situation when a viewer played a prank on them by falsely alerting the police to their location before their Rumble livestream.

Seeing the police car, Slipz exclaimed:
“Bro, this isn’t funny bro. We’re not in f**king Europe anymore. They could pull up with the guns Speed.”
Cenat jocularly added:
“I’m getting shot, then you getting shot.”
IShowSpeed replied by stating:
“Yeah, you’re getting shot, then I’m getting shot ’cause I’m like black.”
Despite the challenge, the content creators proceeded with their planned livestream. The VOD for the second episode of The Kai ‘N Speed Show is now accessible on their Rumble channels.
