CINCINNATI, OHIO: IShowSpeed is in the spotlight once again for having an "awful" interaction with Behzinga’s one-year-old daughter during the Sidemen Charity Match.

Behzinga says IShowSpeed almost made his daughter cry with 'awful’ faces
Behzinga and Faith recalled the strange faces Speed made while he was speaking to their daughter.
For the unversed, the Sidemen Charity Match featured a star-studded lineup of streamers and YouTubers from both North America and Europe, drawing in millions of viewers.
Behzinga scored the match's first goal and had brought his daughter onto the pitch.
"Speed was just literally, 'cus you were just holding Olive, and I have got a video of it. Speed is actively trying to make Olive cry, like the faces that he was pulling were awful," Faith said.
"I will screenshot it, and we can link the picture," she added.
KSI and Speed were engaging with the child at the dugouts. However, their approaches seemed quite distinct.
According to Behzinga, who was holding Olive, KSI aimed to make her laugh, while Speed seemed to have the opposite intention.
Behzinga said, "He's in front of Olive, yeah? I won't even lie. He's going like this [makes faces]. Like that in front of Olive's face. JJ was trying to be cute, JJ was going peekaboo."
IShowSpeed’s fans say ‘man probably started barking at her’

Another wrote, "His normal face would have done the job. No need to show out." A third created a GIF of a clip of Speed and posted with the caption, "Man probably started barking at her."
A fourth user said, "Why would anyone let him around their child." A fifth stated, "Crazy man."
IShowSpeed versus KSI
Speed recen tly gave an interview on Rio Ferdinand's 'FIVE' YouTube channel, during which he expressed his love of Cristiano Ronaldo and the 8-5 defeat against KSI's team in Sidemen Charity Match.
Despite putting in his best efforts, Speed could not find the back of the net in the game.
Additionally, he had the prime opportunity to score a penalty against KSI, who playfully taunted Speed by performing Ronaldo's iconic "sui" celebration right in front of him.
Speed admitted that his nerves got the better of him, leading to the missed penalty against KSI. However, during the interview, he said he would get his revenge in the next charity match.
“I cannot wait to get my revenge on that guy,” Speed said. While watching his missed penalty shot, the YouTuber blamed KSI, claiming the trash-talk disrupted his concentration.
