Footage emerges of iShowSpeed being 'refused' entry to CBS Sports studio despite Thierry Henry invite

Footage has emerged of IShowSpeed being 'refused' entry to the CBS Sports studio despite Thierry Henry's invitation.

Arsenal legend Henry joined social media star Speed in Qatar for the 2025 Match for Hope - a charity football game.

Speed and Chunks captained one team while KSI and AboFlah captained the other side, with the likes of Miniminter, Behzinga, Manny Brown and AngryGinge also taking part.

Each team also boasted several football legends, including Premier League great Henry, who had an exchange with Speed.

Henry invited Speed onto the CBS Sports' Champions League show, with the American seemingly accepting the ex-forward's invitation.

"I would love to go on that show... because we got some things to talk about," said Speed.

Well, ahead of Tuesday's show, which had the usual line-up of Kate Scott, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Henry himself, a video has emerged of Speed turning up at the CBS Sports studio.

Footage uploaded by CBS Sports shows Speed asking the receptionist if he was in the correct place.

He engages in a conversation with the person behind the desk before security intervened.

Speed eventually gets turned away. He then goes outside before taking a phone call.

The clip of Speed being refused entry was posted by CBS Sports, accompanied with the caption: "Speed turned away by CBS security."

Speed could try his luck tonight, with Paris Saint-Germain vs. Liverpool, Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica vs. Barcelona and Feyenoord vs. Inter Milan all on deck in tonight's round of Champions League games.

Following the Match for Hope, Carragher and Richards quizzed Henry about Speed.

Carragher asked Henry: "Does he [Speed] understand football... is he in football?"

Henry replied: "I don't know if [Speed] loves football, it looks like he was having a debate with the ball when he had it," before Carragher and Richards cracked up.
