Twitch and Kick streamer Felix “xQc” has taken a skeptical stance on a recent viral clip uploaded by fellow streamer Darren “IShowSpeed.” On July 25, 2024, IShowSpeed shared a video of himself performing a daring stunt: jumping over a moving Lamborghini. The audacious nature of the stunt left many viewers in disbelief, including xQc, who decided to delve deeper into the authenticity of the clip.
Initially, upon hearing about the stunt, xQc expressed his doubts. “That sounds fake,” he remarked during his livestream. The skepticism didn’t wane even after watching the video, where Speed can be seen jumping over the Lamborghini as it approached him at a moderate speed, driven by his father. xQc’s curiosity led him to declare that he needed to investigate the clip further, saying, “I think it’s fake. Hold on, let me wash my hands and then we can investigate further.”

The clip in question was shared on IShowSpeed’s official Instagram, drawing significant attention and sparking discussions across social media platforms. Determined to uncover the truth, xQc embarked on what he called his “detective arc,” a series of self-proclaimed investigations he enjoys conducting during his streams. He explained to his viewers, “I like doing my little investigations these days chat, ’cause I actually enjoy it. I think it’s fun and I feel like I always uncover things I haven’t seen people talking about. It’s actually useful. I’ve been enjoying it, detective arc.”
Returning to the clip with a more critical eye, xQc replayed it multiple times, pausing at various points to scrutinize the details. After a thorough review, his skepticism began to wane. “Yeah, that looks real. It’s real,” he concluded. xQc acknowledged Speed’s athletic prowess, noting, “Chat, Speed’s vertical leap is legitimately impressive. I know I don’t know much about gymnastics, but his backflips are legitimately world-class. I’m not even glazing. In terms of being able to do backflips from standing ground, it is actual class. I’m not kidding. Real, yeah.”
xQc’s reaction and subsequent investigation highlight the broader trend of content creators and viewers scrutinizing viral internet content. The initial doubt and eventual acceptance of the stunt’s authenticity reflect a growing awareness of the potential for digital manipulation in today’s media landscape. As content creators continue to push the boundaries of what is possible (and believable), the lines between reality and fabrication can often blur.
