For those unaware, IShowSpeed hosted a livestream on May 25, 2024, to watch Manchester United face Manchester City in the FA Cup final. He was joined by his date, South Korean influencer Amy Flamy.

Following the four-hour-long broadcast, Darren was seen attending the FA Cup after-party, where he met several prominent football figures; among them was Manchester United's manager Erik ten Hag.

In a five-second-long clip, IShowSpeed referred to the 54-year-old as "my boy" and said:
