How Nota Baloyi made iShowSpeed trend

When asked what he did to make iShowSpeed trend, Nota told Briefly News that he didn't do anything differently than any of the other celebrities who were showing him around.

Nota explained that his presence made iShowSpeed trend because people shared that he was on his stream on social media.

"I don't do anything differently. I just showed up, and because people were so shocked and surprised to see me there, or rather some were even expecting to see me there, just not so soon into the stream, they started posting that I was on the stream with Speed and that's why I shot up to the top of the trends list long before speed started trending and when people were inquiring as to why I was trending, then they saw that it was because I was on Speed's stream," Nota Baloyi explained.

@Lord_Ori_ argued that Popi Sibiya’s The Popi Show was better and more informational than IShowSpeed. The post was captioned:

“The Popi Show is better and educational than IShowSpeed, but y’all are not ready for this conversation.”
