The energetic and extravagant YouTuber iShowSpeed is one of the fastest-growing channels. He always entertains his fans and surprises them with some crazy stunts. But the reason behind this rapid growth is his crazy personality and the chaotic stunts. Talking about crazy stunts, the 17-year-old nearly set his house on fire on July 4.

The YouTuber wanted to celebrate Independence Day by firing a Pikachu-looking firecracker. He thought it to be a moderate sprinkler, but it went out of control in the tiny space. Eventually, he was able to shut it down without any serious damage. But that was no learning lesson for Speed, as he again ended up playing with fire in a recent stream.

The Ohio-born Youtuber has recently developed a knack for soccer.
