Expressing his belief that IShowSpeed required a "side character for comedic relief" for his content, xQc said:

"I'm about to say something crazy right here, chat. I think it would be a great comedic relief if Speed has, like, a side character for the stream. Like, maybe his cameraman, Slipz, like, starts with a couple of, like, fake production and becomes more of a character. I think it will help out a lot. Any thoughts about that?"

On the same day (September 2, 2025), a 23-second-long video was posted on IShowSpeed's official X Community, SPEED GANG, in which xQc discussed Speed's concurrent live viewership on YouTube and Twitch.

"Speed gets 50k on YouTube with zero discoverability. Zero bots. Zero synthetic push. These are numbers that are, like, as raw as you can get them. And everyone knows Speed. Everyone knows him, like, everywhere. But he gets numbers that people get on Twitch like (the streamer snaps his finger) that."
