🚨WATCH: iShowSpeed responds to a now-deleted comment questioning why he drank cow’s blood mixed with milk while visiting the Maasai Mara in Kenya, with concerns it could make him sick due to a different immune system. He responded by saying “They welcomed me into the Maasai Mara, let me... bring my crew and my camera, and showed me how they live day to day. The least I could do was respect that and take part in what they do.”show more

You don’t have to understand everything to honor it. His explanation was simple and sincere Speed is legend

W speed moment ❤️‍🩹

Respect to iShowSpeed for fully embracing Maasai culture by drinking the traditional blood and milk mix. Shows real courage and appreciation for local traditions.

It cannot harm him. It is healthy..You cannot get sick in afrika.

Funny how ‘different immune system’ only comes up when African culture is involved. He showed respect simple.

Why tf would you drink that?!!! It’s definitely not hygienic

They hosted him, fed him, named him Nyangulo, he drank the munono and jumped with the warriors. That’s not 'risking his immune system'… that’s earning a tribe. Respect >>> fear 🩸🛡️

Drinking blood is bad.. But a dog licking yall Caucasians is cool... Stop this bs

speed is one of my favourite people ngl

Cow’s blood is wild though.

That’s the difference between tourism and humility. You don’t grow by staying comfortable — you grow by showing respect. He didn’t drink it for content. He drank it because he was welcomed. That’s how bridges get built.

These mfs just be hating on Africa.....that thing is healthy and that's their daily drink and they are very healthy unlike you

Yall go feral the moment Speed drinks cow blood like it is some forbidden ritual but the same crowd will stand up and clap like seals when Gordon Ramsay plates up a slab of bloody steak dripping red juice and calls it gourmet. One man drinks it raw and he is labeled crazy uncivilized and disgusting. Another man cooks it for thirty seconds flips it twice sprinkles salt and suddenly it is fine dining elite taste Michelin vibes. Make it make sense bro. Blood in a cup is savage but blood on a plate is classy. Same cow same blood different accent different camera angle. The hypocrisy is loud and it is hilarious.

That’s a solid response. He wasn’t chasing shock value he was showing respect to the people who welcomed him. Hard to argue with that.

You dont tell speed what to do

When the elders welcome you into the tribe, you don't ask for a menu—you show up and show respect. ​Besides, that Maasai mixture is built different... it's the secret remedy for COVID and every other variant out there! 😂💉 Speed is officially immune to everything now.

I knew this sounded familiar Anthony Bourdain did the same on an episode of Parts Unknown where he visited the Maasai with Kamau Bell Everyone, get a grip

Kenyans giving him their rituals trying to pin him down? Definitely not going to work

Thats healthier than alot of fast food yall put in your bodies everyday

Only streamer who would do this

Respecting local culture and experiences is powerful even if it’s outside your comfort zone, and shows curiosity and humility.

iShowSpeed’s response actually nails a deeper point that gets lost in quick reactions. He wasn’t just sipping something strange for content, he was participating in a cultural ritual, showing respect to a community that opened its doors to him. Immune system worries aside, the core lesson is about humility and engagement: sometimes, to truly understand others, you have to step into their world on their terms, not yours. This ties subtly to what First October embodies: respect and presence matter. Just as he honored the Maasai Mara, creating trust and connection in communities requires listening, learning, and participating genuinely. Experiences like this remind us that engagement isn’t always comfortable, but stepping into someone else’s reality, even if it looks unusual from the outside, builds bridges that words alone can’t.

He is a superhuman so it will be fine.

In Africa you are not allergic. Just consume, your system will adapt with time. Happened to me, I used to be allergic to beef. Used to

Speed is a traveller, not a tourist.

Americans have eaten and drank worse than cow blood with milk. Are food is chemically made and processed. McDonald's is king for this. Our groceries stores have meat that we don't even know where it's from. We drink pus filled milk, and you think this is outrageous lmao.

Why is he responding to ignorant questions

he’s realer than me cus um

Respect

Exactly you have to respect the culture of another country and follow the same rules, I totally understand and support you, @ishowspeedsui you are incredibly doing well 👍

God forbid I drink this shit….. don’t record this nonsense

We all love Ishowspeed.

All the folks that eat rare steak 🥩 better not be talking negatively in this comment lol
