IShowSpeed is an absolute sports nut. The streamer enjoys all kinds of activities, and before becoming a content creator he even played American football. However, he also likes soccer a lot, and we have even seen him playing for FC.

One aspect we didn't see coming was Speed as a talent scout. The streamer also enjoyed watching young players, who had not yet made an impact in the first teams, and this is what he did with Lamine Yamal. The Barcelona winger confirmed that he had spoken to Speed two years ago.

The reunion between Speed and Lamine Yamal

The image took place at the Ballon d'Or gala, in which Yamal won the Kopa Trophy for being the best young player of the year. After the event they met again, and Lamine remembered him: "They don't believe me, do you remember when I wrote to you three years ago?" The Barcelona player smiled and affirmed his words.

After this, Speed was very happy that Lamine remembered everything, and asked him to talk again: "We have to talk. You're the GOAT, good luck and don't forget me." Probably forgetting a person like Speed is something complicated.

That was their reunion, which comes after Speed himself explained on his social networks that he discovered him when he was very, very young. Just as Lamine will soon be president of the Kings League, it is possible that we will see some collaboration with Speed.

Speed showed the messages with Lamine

In fact, in a live stream Speed even went so far as to show the Instagram messages he shared with the Spanish player, specifically one from October 28 in which he started the conversation with a: "yo bro". However, according to Speed himself, that conversation did not last long.

"He stopped answering me, but I'm one of those who was there from day one, since I was 14 and I was 17. I discovered him, he should play for my football team," he said. The truth is that Speed had a good eye, since Lamine, just two years later is a global star.
