Two of the top live streamers in the music industry are IShowSpeed and Adin Ross. Their social media channels are an enormous source of information and pleasure for youthful pop culture enthusiasts, with over 50 million followers overall.
The two well-known media figures went to Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday, August 16. A-list performers including Travis Scott, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, and Tom Brady will be present during the three-day event.
Although the majority of high-profile athletes and celebrities were willing to participate in interviews and connect with the live streams, one visitor was a little pickier about who he interacted with. With his strict security, Grammy Award–winning musician and renowned businessman JAY-Z made sure that no live broadcasting would take place near him.
Adin Ross seemed to understand why Jay-Z wouldn’t want cameras to be filming all around him, but IShowSpeed and his group appeared to be expelled for attempting to film around the Brooklyn-bred rapper with their cameras.
“I’m not going to go up there bro, I’m not going to pull up to JAY-Z and film and s**t, that’s weird,” Ross stated in a video. I won’t do it, dude; they’ll think I’m insane. The IShowSpeed clip was a little busier. Jay-Z was pointed out by one of his teammates, and he yelled, “JAY-Z’s up there? I got to meet Jay-Z, bro.
His cameraman can be heard saying, “They are kicking me out, bro,” just before the video breaks up. I brought the camera, that’s why. Speed was informed by the security guard that despite the modifications made for him, he was still not permitted to film near JAY-Z. The recording was still too close, so they were ultimately asked to leave the event.
Speed was spotted having a great time earlier in the event, despite the almost premature termination. He comically experienced a cramp before Travis Scott poured his Cacti seltzer on his aching calf muscle after he had defeated him in a race while Quavo was watching.
Whether IShowSpeed will be invited back to the second and third days of Fanatics Fest is still up in the air for fans. Fans of sports can still buy tickets.
