Netizens flooded the comments with a cocktail of reactions. While some defended Miss Zimbabwe 2025 Lyshanda Moyas, others supported IShowSpeed.
Here are some of the comments:
@destinyzee said:
“Haibo, the man doesn’t know her; she was supposed to introduce herself.”
@TheopilusE shared:
“You can't blame Speed, though. His Manager should have informed him that she came around to greet him.”
@NAChibunna highlighted:
“Funny creature. You stood there, said nothing and even left the way for him. Now you're crashing out like everyone needs to know you. Nobody knows you aside from Zimbabwean citizens.”
@001Xtasy said:
“This is one of those moments that shows how real life happens off-script. Speed didn’t ignore her out of malice. The chaos of live streaming moves fast. What matters is the bigger picture: millions of people just watched him explore and celebrate Zimbabwe with genuine excitement.”
@MacCody02 laughed:
“Dude went past her twice lol, he was not into playing with women, I like that.”
@victorlopezinc argued:
“Honestly, it looked unintentional. He was caught up in the moment, but it’s nice to see both of them handle it with grace afterwards.”
@mmlets said:
“She should not worry, Nota from South Africa experienced the same thing🤷♂️”
@theyenvyvivian asked:
“What was she looking for?”
@mulaneysvoice claimed:
“He was scared lowkey. Ain’t no way I’m passing her up without saying something.”
@big_ramz remarked:
“Life without a Miss Universe Sash and a Crown is very hard. This is a stream; there's no acting there, he wasn't pre-briefed about her, worse, she didn't do anything to even introduce herself.”
