YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" has once again gone viral after defeating influencer Ashton Hall in a race four times in a row. On June 11, 2025, the two content creators teamed up for an IRL livestream in which they raced each other. IShowSpeed was the one to emerge victorious, defeating the Instagram and TikTok sensation in all rounds of their race.
In one of their sprints, Ashton Hall tripped and face-planted while attempting to keep up with his opponent. The video has received over 7.9 million views and more than 84,000 likes on X.
Another 16-second video from IShowSpeed's livestream surfaced on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform, in which the Ohio native referred to Hall as "Ashton Fraud":
"...On god, dog! Ashton Fraud in the chat. Ashton Fraud in the chat. I think Ashton Hall is Ashton Fraud, man. Don't play, bro! Ashton Fraud!"
Ashton Hall eventually addressed the community during his Kick livestream, admitting his defeat to the 20-year-old. He said:
"You win some and you lose some, bro. You get what I'm saying? So, he beat me fair and square. He did. And I did ask him to run it back. That's what I'm always going to do - run it back, run it back, run it back. And, turns out, bro, he beat me clearly. Four times, fair and square. First time I slipped. Second time, he clearly beat me, and I said, 'Bro, run it back,' and he ran it back. The third time it was a tie, everybody was saying. That's what everyone was saying. You get what I'm saying?"
IShowSpeed gives his respect to Ashton Hall after the latter admits his defeat
On the same day (June 11, 2025), IShowSpeed reacted to a video in which Ashton Hall claimed he was "clickbaiting" the content creator to get a chance to race him and expressed a desire to win at least once.
After hearing Hall say that his opponent beat him "fair and square," the YouTube streamer responded:
"Thank you, bro. Thank you. He's being honest. Hey, respect! Respect! Respect! I respect that. Okay. GG. I respect that!"
IShowSpeed made headlines on May 29, 2025, when he expressed his displeasure with the online community for sharing videos of his "little sister."
