IShowSpeed has always been known for taking antics to another level. Now, however, he’s allegedly kicked it up a notch further after allegedly leaking MrBeast’s phone number live on stream – all in the name of payback.
The YouTube star, with a reputation for chaotic energy and unpredictable content, was one of the standout players at the Sidemen Charity Football Match on March 8.
The event, which has become an almost-annual spectacle since its founding in 2016, saw some of the biggest internet personalities come together to raise a staggering £4,733,004 GBP ($6,115,072 USD) for charity, with over 2.5 million fans tuning in live.

Speed — Darren Jason Watkins — playing for the YouTube All Stars team, even scored the final penalty score, to help his team get the win.
However, despite the well-earned cause for celebration, it seems not everyone walked away from the match unscathed. Speed claims that MrBeast, one of his fellow competitors, was responsible for an injury he sustained during the game.
During a recent stream, Speed shared his wounds with his viewers, pointing out his visible bruises while calling out the person he holds responsible — James ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson.
Watkins said: “Messed up my eye, the person who messed up my shoulder”, showing off his injuries in the above post on X (formerly Twitter). Then, in what appeared to be an act of revenge, Speed took things a step further by revealing what he claimed to be MrBeast’s personal phone number.

He announced: “MrBeast, I’m sorry buddy. This is MrBeast’s phone number,” he announced, flashing the contact details to thousands of live viewers.
Clearly not content with just exposing the number, Speed then encouraged his audience to take action.
He joked: “Ask him for money. This is MrBeast’s phone number right here”. He reiterated: “Everybody text MrBeast.”
As expected, the clip of Speed’s phone number drop quickly made the rounds on social media, eventually catching the attention of MrBeast himself. The popular YouTuber responded in classic internet fashion, posting a blunt and all-caps tweet that simply read: “SPEED WHAT THE F**K.”

Many social media users, never missing an opportunity for a meme, immediately jumped on the situation. Various commenters doubted that the number was even real.
One in particular pointed out in their post that MrBeast, wouldn’t possibly be using an Android device.

One user quipped: “Just signed you up for 20 different accounts with that phone number, have fun,” one user quipped.
Another chimed in: “gonna venmo request you $20 @MrBeast”.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Speed has ‘accidentally’ leaked the contact details of his famous friends.
In the past, he’s been responsible for exposing KSI’s number on multiple occasions, as well as revealing Kai Cenat’s in the midst of a prank war. Given his track record, it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if this latest ‘leak’ was, in fact, legitimate.
