YouTuber IShowSpeed reaction to Lil Nas X saying Lionel Messi is better than Cristiano Ronaldo was crazy

YouTuber IShowSpeed has once again shown his love for Cristiano Ronaldo, in the oddest possible way, barking at rapper Lil Nas X.

There's not much doubt who Speed's favourite footballer is, the social media star shooting to fame with his incorrect pronunciation of Ronaldo's famous SIUUU celebration.

The American certainly entertained the masses with his own football debut, playing in the YouTube Allstars vs Sidemen FC game earlier this year.

During that match, the teenager snapped into KSI in the opening seconds of the match, and lived miles offside, seemingly not quite understanding the rules.

Since then, his fame has only grown and his love for Manchester United forward Ronaldo has become more and more evident.

This week he even got himself to Manchester in order to finally see his 'idol' and, according to him, the person he loves most in the world.

Unfortunately for Speed, he was in attendance at Old Trafford for a game the five time Ballon d'Or winner missed, the Carabao Cup win against Aston Villa.

That hasn't stopped him championing the 37-year-old however, as his interaction with Lil Nas X shows, which you can see in the video below.

The 17-year-old asked the Old Town Road artist who he liked 'Ronaldo or Messi,' with the rapper explaining he doesn't 'watch soccer like that.'

He then seemed to placate Speed by saying Ronaldo, leading to the pair sharing a handshake and Speed explaining why he was glad, as he didn't want a problem between the pair.

That's when Lil Nas reveals that he actually thinks Messi is the better player, which on current form is pretty much undeniable, as the PSG star's October highlights proved.

He then says he's joking, before finally changing his mind again, something that clearly Speed wasn't too happy with.

The Ronaldo fanboy showed his displeasure at the answer not being the one he would obviously pick by barking right in Lil Nas' face.

Speed could soon have the chance to meet his idol, and your good friends at SPORTbible will have had something to do with it.

In a phone call between the YouTuber and Rio Ferdinand, facilitated by SB, the former United defender offered to hook the two up.

"You love Ronaldo init?" Ferdinand said, "You want me to hook me up? He's my boy."

"Don't lie to me, come on bro, don't do this," Speed said in return, he might want to stop the barking before he meets the former Real Madrid star mind.

And also if he's going to tell stories to Ronaldo about his favourite moments of the Portugal forward, he might want to remember all the details...
