The streamer spoke openly about the ordeal he endured, revealing, “I almost died. I almost jumped off of a building, chat. I was this close to jumping off of a Japanese building. And I’m not trolling, bro. I’m being deadass. I swear on my life, bro. It was that freaking bad, bro.”
During the stream, IShowSpeed detailed the agonizing pain he experienced, comparing it to being “stabbed” with a knife behind his eye. He underwent a spinal tap as part of his treatment, further highlighting the severity of his condition. The sinus infection triggered cluster headaches, which he described as feeling like someone was stabbing his eye from behind.
I pray none of y’all in the chat experiences a cluster headache”, he said. “That’s the one that almost killed me. That’s the one that almost got me. …I went through so much. I’m still healing.”
Fans have flooded IShowSpeed with well-wishes as he continues his healing journey. Despite his eagerness to return to streaming, he expressed a determination to fully recover before diving back into full-time content creation.
