IShowSpeed was scared about the ordeal.

IShowSpeed is someone who has exploded in popularity over the last year or so. Overall, he is a streamer who knows how to get fans excited. Although he may do things in a way that some deem inappropriate, he has been able to get success. Despite being less than 20 years old, the kid is already a millionaire. He has a ton of money coming in thanks to his streaming success and the fans are sticking with him. In fact, his money has allowed him to buy himself a brand-new home that is worth quite a lot of money.

Subsequently, Speed has been showing off this new house for everyone to see. Unfortunately, this has led to some negative consequences. Showing off your home as a streamer can be a huge no no. This can lead to swatting, which is when people call the police and say there is a hostage situation or an organized crime operation happening at a person's address. The police then go in with weapons and a lot of the time, it happens while a streamer is live. Well, that is exactly what happened to IShowSpeed yesterday.
