iShowSpeed gets ‘arrested’ in North Carolina as a part of a prank
As the video spread, fans feared that iShowSpeed was in trouble. But it turns out he wasn’t actually arrested.
Instead, it was a staged prank masterminded by MrBeast. In the clip, police approached the YouTuber and told him he had an unpaid ticket in Florida. iShowSpeed looked rattled and protested before officers eventually handcuffed him.
Later, it was revealed that the scene was just a prank, though the clip fooled millions for a moment. The entire ordeal was a MrBeast production. Much like many of his elaborately produced pranks, this one had all the resources needed to feel real. From the officers to the uniforms and gear, everything looked authentic, which made the prank believable at first.
As of now, the clip continues to garner views, leaving fans shocked and confused, as many are still unsure what exactly is going on or whether the incident was ever real in the first place.
With such a collaboration, MrBeast and iShowSpeed impressed their massive fan bases, especially those they successfully fooled. Some X posts and comments even suggest that certain fans remain uncertain whether it was truly a prank or an orchestrated publicity stunt.
This also shows how MrBeast continues to dominate the world of pranks with some of the most convincing setups online. This stunt will be talked about for months to come, and the clips will likely continue circulating widely in the near future, fueling conversations across social platforms.
