Popular YouTuber IShowSpeed is in the news again after taking the internet by storm with yet another daring stunt that has left many of his fans staring in awe. In yet another viral video doing rounds on all social media platforms, IShowSpeed is seen racing against a cheetah, which is the fastest land animal in the world.
The video, shared by IShowSpeed on Instagram, was captioned simply: “I Raced A Cheetah!” Since being posted on January 3, 2025, it has amassed over 32 million views and 2.3 million likes, quickly becoming one of his most talked-about clips.
The race that shocked viewers
In this video, viewers can see IShowSpeed line up alongside the cheetah. As the countdown finishes, the pair take off. ISupportSpeed does his best to run, the cheetah effortlessly pulls ahead, showcasing its natural speed advantage.
Cheetahs have a speed of up to 110 kmph, thus making them the fastest land animals. Compared to even the fastest sprinters, humans do not come anywhere close to that speed. If one considers the outcome, the video of a human racing a wild animal went viral.
Scratch seen at the start of the video
In the beginning of the video, IShowSpeed could also be seen having a scratch and a few spots of blood on him. The injury seemed to have happened after contact with the cheetah, though no extra information on the topic was brought forward in the post.
The moment sparked concern among viewers, many of whom questioned the safety of the stunt.
Social media reacts
Soon after the video surfaced, social media platforms were flooded with reactions ranging from disbelief to humour.
One user commented, “This is some epic once-in-a-lifetime type shit.”
Another wrote, “No way it scratched you, bro.”
A third user noted, “Ngl it went 80-90mph humans can't move that fast yet.”
Others joked about the outcome, with comments like, “Imagine losing to a cheetah,” and “Oh, it wasn’t running full speed, bro. It was jogging.”
