Fans have criticized YouTuber IShowSpeed, real name Darren Watkins Jr, for a horror tackle on Kaka during a charity match in Qatar. The Match of Hope held at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, featured footballing legends and content creators. Before the match, IShowSpeed was seen discussing positions with Eden Hazard and tactics with former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

During the match, IShowSpeed made a dreadful challenge on Kaka, coming in from behind and completely wiping out the former Ballon d’Or winner. Despite receiving only a yellow card from the referee, many fans believed it warranted a red card. A clip of the tackle went viral on social media, with fans slamming IShowSpeed for his behavior. Although Kaka was not hurt and was able to continue playing, IShowSpeed’s match did not improve.

He missed an open goal and was filmed next to Wenger on the bench repeatedly saying, “Put me in, I am ready now,” while the Frenchman laughed. Additionally, after the match, IShowSpeed was seen strangely asking Didier Drogba if he was Paul Pogba’s father. The charity match also featured former Chelsea stars Didier Drogba and Claude Makelele, as well as Barcelona legend David Villa.
