The 19-year-old, an avid fan of the Portuguese footballing superstar, was on his trip to Indonesia when the incident happened with a local man, who had gotten into his face, holding a Lionel Messi action figure in a Barcelona t-shirt before telling him that his favourite footballer is ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Notably, IShowSpeed rose to fame in the world of live streaming in the last couple of years, and his love for Cristiano Ronaldo is well known to his fans on social media platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and elsewhere.
