CINCINNATI, OHIO: IShowSpeed rejoices as Twitch lifts two-year ban.
In a surprising twist, the internet sensation IShowSpeed is celebrating his remarkable return to Twitch nearly two years after his account was permanently banned. The streamer has shared his joy and personal development since the incident initially led to his ban.
ShowSpeed is a prominent figure in the world of live streaming. He initially gained significant popularity on Twitch and quickly became a household name.
In December 2021, his Twitch channel was permanently suspended following an incident that transpired during a live stream alongside fellow content creator Adin Ross.
In the wake of the ban, Speed found a new home on YouTube, where he continued to gather a substantial following, solidifying his status as one of the platform's most-watched broadcasters.
But, the unexpected twist occurred in October 2023 when fans noticed that IShowSpeed's Twitch channel had been unbanned.
This surprising development coincided with statements from Twitch’s CEO, Dan Clancy, who hinted at granting “second chances” to some permanently banned streamers.
The precise reasons behind IShowSpeed’s ban reversal remain undisclosed.
