Did IShowSpeed party with Neymar Jr? Streamer ‘spotted with football star in Brazil’
YouTube/iShowSpeedIShowSpeed has met a raft of footballers since he rose to fame but he could not recognise a fake Neymar during an appearance in Brazil.
The famous streamer travelled to the country earlier this month and has been taking part in Carnival festival celebrations.
And in one appearance, he thought he had been joined by Brazil superstar Neymar. A video on social media shows a fairly convincing Neymar impersonator jump into the frame and start dancing with Speed.
Speed pranked by a fake Neymar Jr
Speed’s inability to recognise the imposter is made surprising by the fact that the YouTuber has in fact met the real Neymar.
The pair met last summer following a pre-season friendly between PSG and Al-Nassr before the Brazilian had moved to the Saudi Pro League.
Neymar left PSG to join Al Hilal but is currently sidelined after suffering a serious knee injury while on international duty last October.
Neymar ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in a game between Brazil and Uruguay and is not expected to return for several more months.
