During a high-energy livestream, Speed was seen lighting a sparkler or firework while standing shirtless in front of his viewers. Suddenly, the flames erupted too close to his body, catching fire to part of his upper body or clothing. The incident caused panic not just in the room but also among thousands of fans watching live.

Speed could be seen running, screaming, and attempting to douse the flames as his team and others nearby rushed to help. Thankfully, the fire was extinguished quickly, and Speed was later seen applying cooling treatment to the burns. Paramedics were reportedly not needed at the scene, but the scare was real—and it shocked his global fan base.

However, he did acknowledge the risk involved and promised to take precautions in future stunts.
