The biggest news is that he was crowned Streamer of the Year at the 2025 Esports Awards, held at the HyperX Arena in Las Vegas on November 19. This marks his first win in this category, beating out tough competition including Kai Cenat, Ibai Llanos, and xQc. In a pre-recorded message, Speed thanked his fans and supporters, saying he’ll keep working hard to deliver the best content.

Just days later, on November 23, Speed made a splash at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, where he was honored as the Bengals’ Ruler of the Jungle for their home game against the Patriots.

On the business side, Speed continues to expand his brand, blending gaming, music, and viral moments. He’s been dropping new songs and music videos, including collaborations with RIOTUSA, and recently made headlines for a viral clip playing basketball with NBA star Kevin Durant, even if Durant walked off the court after Speed missed an open layup. There’s also a lawsuit brewing in Texas, where Speed is accused of intentionally damaging a viral cowboy robot known as Rizzbot. The details are still emerging, but it’s another twist in his already eventful public life. Looking ahead, fans are buzzing about the upcoming Streamer Awards on December 6, where Speed is nominated for three categories: Streamer of the Year, Best IRL Streamer, and Best Marathon Stream for his “Speed Does America” series.
