Adin Live - Adin Ross CREATED The iShowSpeed Clones..

00:00:00.520 WhiteboyM is currently going viral for copying the biggest streamer in the world, iShowSpeed.

00:00:06.180 Speed gained 10 million subscribers in one year, and during that, he became known for

00:00:10.240 overreacting, juvenile humor, making himself the best actor, and acting so unnatural that

00:00:16.000 still to this day, some people can't tell if he's a character or what he is actually

00:00:20.240 this high-stress, hyperactive individual.

00:00:22.600 Emerson copies his voice, his facial expressions, his reactions, his personal interests.

00:00:27.780 Basically, this young man studied everything about Speed's perception.

00:00:30.780 Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, it's creepy, bro.

00:00:33.340 Yeah, nah, it's, it's, um, it's definitely creepy, bro, for sure.

00:00:38.120 And he is building a career from it.

00:00:40.520 Oh, hell no.

00:00:48.200 However, Em denies all allegations of him copying.

00:00:52.060 To be honest, I do not copy Speed, you know what I'm saying?

00:00:55.040 Man, if I picked up on some of his traits, but I used to watch Speed a lot, but, like,

00:00:58.920 bro, when people say I go back and watch his streams and study it, bro.

00:01:02.360 Chad, do you guys think he copies Speed, yes or no?

00:01:04.640 I do not do that.

00:01:05.880 His fans believe Em, because how could he live stream every single day for hours and manage

00:01:10.420 to imitate someone else without slipping up?

00:01:12.700 Well, he's been practicing for months, slowly getting better and better.

00:01:16.980 Just a few months ago, WhiteboyM sounded completely different. 0.58

00:01:20.640 If you guys DM me the butterfly emoji, I will follow all you guys back on Instagram.

00:01:25.080 But, yeah, man, I hope you guys did enjoy this banger video.

00:01:27.760 Hey, y'all, please stop booting me, dude.

00:01:29.760 Like, I'm over here trying to stream, bro.

00:01:31.720 Oh, hell no.

00:01:33.280 And y'all spamming in my chat like my IP got leaked.

00:01:36.020 But it wasn't actually iShowSpeed that inspired all of this.

00:01:39.360 It was Aiden Ross.

00:01:42.420 Hold on a second.

00:01:43.560 What?

00:01:44.240 I inspired him. 1.00

00:01:46.120 I inspired this fucking kid. 1.00

00:01:47.680 How the fuck? 1.00

00:01:48.960 Hold on. 1.00

00:01:49.700 No, no, no, Chad.

00:01:50.240 Hold on. 0.99

00:01:50.760 How the fuck did I inspire him? 0.99

00:01:52.620 Please tell me. 0.81

00:01:53.460 But it wasn't actually iShowSpeed that inspired him.

00:01:55.340 No, Chad.

00:01:55.860 No. 1.00

00:01:56.380 Fuck that. 1.00

00:01:57.040 No. 1.00

00:01:57.200 It was Aiden Ross.

00:01:58.260 I haven't blown up yet, bro, but I know I will blow up.

00:02:01.620 My inspiration is Aiden Ross, and he told me to speak.

00:02:04.440 Bro, you cannot.

00:02:05.740 Bro, bro.

00:02:06.800 Patrick.

00:02:07.280 Come on, bro.

00:02:07.780 Patrick.

00:02:08.060 I love your videos, bro.

00:02:08.820 I love you, bro.

00:02:09.600 You can't blame this on me, bro. 1.00

00:02:11.260 You can't blame me influencing him to do this shit. 0.99

00:02:15.020 Into existence and manifest my success, bro. 1.00

00:02:19.520 I'm gonna blow up. 0.54

00:02:20.880 When you're seeing this right now, I blew up.

00:02:22.780 M was dedicated. 0.98

00:02:23.340 Damn, he called it, though. 0.99

00:02:24.720 And determined to blow up. 0.99

00:02:26.260 W's in the chat for that, though.

00:02:27.540 We still have yet to figure that out.

00:02:29.020 Stay hydrated.

00:02:29.900 White boy M was not always his persona.

00:02:32.340 He used to go by a different character called Bluffin.

00:02:35.500 Bluffin was a little closer to an Aiden Ross clone than an iShow Speed clone.

00:02:39.020 Duh, it's your boy Bluffin, and I'm about to show you how to get sturdy like me. 0.97

00:02:44.040 I swear to God, I'm sure Siggy X, I won't beat the shit out of you, bro. 0.98

00:02:48.140 I'm not playing it. 0.97

00:02:49.220 After posting his silly videos on Twitter, he managed to get followed by a FaZe Clan member,

00:02:53.920 FaZe Sway, and his whole world flipped upside down.

00:02:57.560 But I woke up to a Sway retweet, bro.

00:03:01.160 Listen, I'm in bed, right?

00:03:02.680 I'm slumped as...

00:03:04.020 So, look, I get up.

00:03:04.840 Boom.

00:03:05.100 To be fair, Bluffin wasn't trying to get recognized for no reason.

00:03:09.100 He was trying to get the attention of a popular eSports gaming organization called Delirium.

00:03:23.300 At this point, Bluffin was making a little name for himself in the Fortnite community.

00:03:27.000 His compilations were getting a decent amount of traction on YouTube and TikTok.

00:03:30.600 But growing a solo brand in the gaming community is extremely difficult.

00:03:33.660 A lot of gamers strive to get signed by an eSports team and be exposed to a...

00:03:37.660 Explain, that was my fault, though, chat.

00:03:39.220 Explain, please.

00:03:40.160 And targeted Delirium because they were looking for new members.

00:03:43.160 Instead of trying to become the best gamer or the most talented eSports player,

00:03:46.980 he leaned into his humor and made funny videos hoping to get noticed by the team.

00:03:50.820 Delirium, bro. 1.00

00:03:52.140 We have to have a talk, you stupid little bitch. 1.00

00:03:56.320 How about you just pick me up already? 1.00

00:03:58.820 You know, I'm a great addition to the team. 1.00

00:04:01.120 So how about you just pick me up and fuck me? 1.00

00:04:03.740 Okay. 1.00

00:04:04.660 Me Delirium.

00:04:06.020 All right.

00:04:06.580 I'm not going to lie.

00:04:07.000 That is definitely from us.

00:04:08.240 That is definitely from my stream.

00:04:11.600 I'm not going to lie.

00:04:12.100 That is, chat.

00:04:12.940 That is, that is, that is.

00:04:13.860 It is, it is.

00:04:14.560 It is.

00:04:15.220 I'm not going to lie.

00:04:15.920 That is, that is.

00:04:17.480 I'm not going to sit here and deny it, bro.

00:04:18.760 That is definitely me.

00:04:19.800 That is me, chat.

00:04:20.840 That is me.

00:04:21.560 But to be fair, to be fair.

00:04:23.400 To be fair.

00:04:24.240 To be fair, chat.

00:04:25.060 Come on, bro.

00:04:25.480 this is what the average aiden ross viewer thinks they should do to get the attention of

00:04:31.340 hold on me delirium why this is what the average why this picture bro so chat all of you guys are

00:04:44.400 they should do to get the attention of people they want to be associated with maybe his tweets

00:04:48.540 were getting likes and getting engagement but bluffing didn't seem to understand that calling 0.99

00:04:52.140 people stupid bitches doesn't typically make them want to bring him on as a team member 1.00

00:04:56.440 to no surprise he never someone said someone said white boyam or whatever the fucking name is 1.00

00:05:01.100 he speed and aiden had sex and created this like what the fuck got signed to the delirium team 0.99

00:05:06.940 face sway and shah took a liking to his funny antics sway even put a clip of bluffing singing 0.99

00:05:13.160 his intro song for a youtube video all the comments were praising m at this point he had a couple

00:05:18.040 thousand subscribers and a small following but he was about to disappear for a while he abandoned

00:05:23.000 the bluffing character and committed to the white boy m character bluffing was the hyperactive rude

00:05:28.260 suburban teenager who liked to curse a lot white boy m was where he tried to be a little bit more

00:05:32.900 smooth and candid what's up twitter man my name is bluffing as you guys can see but today i'm going

00:05:38.420 to be giving you guys hold on are you guys getting here with ads right now yes or no are you all getting

00:05:41.540 here with ads you did ass did this no i didn't bro it's a huge surprise halfway through this video 0.80

00:05:46.620 i'm gonna be pulling all the shorties with these swimming trumps are you kidding me look at me look 0.98

00:05:51.900 at me huh which one is the real him we don't know but we do know that all he wanted to do

00:05:58.580 was blow up okay to be known for the next year straight white boy m tried tons of different content

00:06:04.320 omegle interviewing people in his school vlogs pranks but none of these were getting him closer to his

00:06:10.860 dream of blowing up he had nothing to lose so at some point he just decided to copy everything that i

00:06:16.280 show speed does but white boy m is a different level of copying we've seen people copy other

00:06:21.140 people's video ideas video formats or even jokes but have we really seen anyone copy someone's

00:06:26.820 personality how did it get this bad well i wish i could tell you this was all a genius plan from the

00:06:33.120 beginning but that doesn't seem to be the case a few months ago m started live streaming every day

00:06:38.000 on youtube he would play some games go on video chat app all right bro can you guys do me a favor 0.95

00:06:42.400 bro you guys can't fully blame this shit on me bro you just can't why y'all from that emote what the 0.99

00:06:48.460 fuck like omegle call girls from his high school or interact with his chat he wasn't very entertaining 0.99

00:06:53.380 and he struggled to pique the interest of more than like 30 people during these first few streams he 0.99

00:06:58.200 talked normally or at least how we think he talks we got monkey app winning right now but on stream

00:07:05.260 number 12 something changed live with i show speed he wasn't actually live with speed this was just

00:07:10.560 a clickbait title but it was emerson's first monetized stream and he broadcasted to the most

00:07:15.760 viewers he ever had up until that point putting i show speed in the title allowed him to hit the

00:07:20.460 algorithm and reach a new audience and it worked because two days later he would go on to reach

00:07:25.160 5 000 subscribers but it was in this stream where a few people started pointing out the similarities

00:07:29.740 between the two how do i sound like speed y'all don't be making sense but i ain't gonna lie bro

00:07:35.500 up until this point nobody ever really compared him to speed and nobody ever said that you have to

00:07:40.700 consider em is from south charleston west virginia which is about 200 miles from cincinnati where speed

00:07:46.120 is from so it is possible that they could have a similar accent the 5k stream had tons of new viewers

00:07:51.240 joining and they were commenting speed clone or the white speed his reaction to reaching 5k subscribers

00:07:57.360 was the exact same way speed reacted to hitting 9 million earlier that same day okay so what do 0.98

00:08:03.300 y'all think about this kid bro do y'all fuck like what do y'all think but y'all do y'all do y'all 0.99

00:08:06.820 do y'all support white boy um do y'all think he's funny do y'all think he's cringe 0.99

00:08:10.240 oh my god what do y'all think bro nah i'm illy chat we did it

00:08:17.840 oh hell no but then something interesting happened

00:08:26.700 i show speed just subscribe no way that's the real one bro em was convinced by a troll account

00:08:34.740 that the real i show speed was watching his stream so em spent the next hour straight trying to do

00:08:40.400 everything he could to get in contact with him i was just wondering if there's any way that you can

00:08:44.980 actually give me the call with speed right now so i could like you know just talk to him on stream

00:08:49.060 have they talked before chat or not have they talked i just love speed so much and i would just

00:08:53.100 love to talk to him man appreciate it then he was dming with allegedly speed's second mysterious

00:08:58.260 instagram burner account at the very end he got in contact with this kid named joel who was followed

00:09:03.260 by speed and convinced em that he was in fact talking to the real i show speed i think this gave

00:09:08.780 emerson all the justification that he needed because if he had support from the guy he was imitating

00:09:13.900 then he could keep it up and that's exactly what he did from there on out every stream just got more 0.97

00:09:19.320 and more copycat-esque the speed this speed fuck with white boy or not chat until july 11th when he 0.96

00:09:24.640 would go viral for these clips really i have 14 out of 15 bubbles but are you serious right now bro oh 0.99

00:09:42.680 hell no

00:09:43.700 really bro are you serious right now bro are you serious right now bro i just i i i just i literally

00:09:54.420 just

00:09:54.740 someone posted a little compilation of em on tiktok that would lead to his subscriber count going up by

00:10:00.540 the thousands even speed reacted to it really i have 14 out of 15 bubbles bro are you serious right now

00:10:09.320 from here the tiktok virality was going crazy people were just clipping em's stream and waiting

00:10:21.320 to roast him this one got 17 million views all of this tiktok traffic was bringing people right to

00:10:26.860 em's youtube jesus christ he needed a new viral plan so he made a diss track on speed i show speed your

00:10:32.440 music is wack messy is better than auto is trash take a third day's i did it like that number 10 on the

00:10:36.800 the diss track got the attention of aiden ross so he invited emma oh my god he was cool about it 0.68

00:10:43.480 no bro i'm gonna be honest you are a weirdo bro i i i respect what you're doing no no no no no you're

00:10:50.600 a little weird bro aiden and his friends were making fun of emerson but then they also gave him props

00:10:55.080 bro listen i think you're smart as i actually like respect like we were just talking about bro like

00:11:00.800 you're actually like smart bro giving him a cosign was just what he needed to keep pursuing his 0.98

00:11:05.040 behavior how is that a coastline why are you guys saying el aiden bro how is that a fucking 0.99

00:11:08.780 then kai sanat the number one most subscribed twitch streamer in the world exactly 0.75

00:11:12.660 he tried to guide him down the right path and convince him to stop copying speed

00:11:19.100 whatever you're doing is working you're getting attention

00:11:21.380 ain't gonna lie you're getting attention it's working but it's not gonna be for the long

00:11:25.700 god you feel what i'm saying yeah man then speed reacted to the diss track speed i don't get it bro

00:11:32.480 are you serious right now right now right now i don't get it speed acting extremely normal and

00:11:40.900 almost out of character speaks volumes about how he felt he just kept saying i don't know saying he

00:11:46.180 doesn't get it or understand why em is doing this i think he genuinely didn't know if he should feel

00:11:51.180 disrespected if it's just a joke or if he should even be giving this any attention the exposure

00:11:56.720 from speed aiden and kai launched white boy m from 25k to 50k to 75 okay do you guys actually 0.98

00:12:04.420 blame me real shit don't even don't even troll do y'all blame me for real though do y'all blame me 0.95

00:12:08.200 5k subscribers in the matter of days his slogan bro are you serious right now bro became his 1.00

00:12:14.220 cash how are y'all blaming you bro since then emerson has worked on his speed accent and it is near

00:12:19.240 perfect em is full-time impersonating speed he will copy the same exact thing speed does on stream

00:12:24.440 and every couple weeks manages to go viral on tiktok i think we can all agree that emerson

00:12:32.600 is just a young kid trying to get attention for the sake of getting attention he wants to be popular

00:12:36.860 the same way that any of us wanted to be popular in school but he doesn't want to put in the years

00:12:41.240 of work that it takes to get there he doesn't realize how embarrassing this is and how he will

00:12:45.820 forever be known as the i show speed copycat so then why is it still working i think i've come

00:12:50.920 to the realization why is it working others might be the best way to build a following quickly in

00:12:55.680 the modern social media era half of his viewers are acting as if they don't like him but they

00:12:59.940 continue to give him attention the other half think it's entertaining how accurate his imitations 0.99

00:13:04.160 are this has been happening in music all right do you guys do do you guys think this shit's funny 0.95

00:13:08.480 yes or no big film and all other forms of entertainment just copy something that's popular 0.94

00:13:12.820 change it up a tiny bit it worked though it worked though it is a good way to get attention

00:13:17.400 to cause controversy to grow rapidly but it almost always comes crashing down if you want to build a

00:13:23.040 career earn a following of people who genuinely respect what you create it takes years of hard work

00:13:28.120 and dedication and if i got i gotta pee really bad you don't want to grind for that then maybe this

00:13:33.060 career is not for you
