A Dutch-Gambian marketer, Maba Jarbou, who says he worked closely with the stream sniper White Speed during iShowSpeed’s Africa tour, came out with allegations that he was used for labor, denied agreed support, and got pressured into covering his own trip costs.
In his video on X and Instagram, Jarbou claimed he was with White Speed 24/7 during the latter’s attempts to streamsnipe Speed across multiple African countries. He also handles logistics like SIM cards, filming, transportation, stream setup, and even editing, which he had to do well into the night.
Jarbou said that he initially viewed this as an opportunity to grow his marketing agency and agreed to help White Speed if he simply covered his expenses. He envisioned this collaboration as a chance to grow together, but the agreement broke down immediately.
Jarbou alleges that White Speed refused to pay for his food and drinks, and also declined the request to put the logo of Jarbou’s marketing agency in the corner of the Twitch stream and video overlays. Instead, White Speed offered a 50/50 split on the subs. Jarbou also claims that this agreement was entirely one-sided, and furthermore, White Speed repeatedly relied on locals to cover costs or pay small amounts without agreeing on costs beforehand, putting people in uncomfortable positions.
According to Jarbou, that was when he finally decided to quit, and asked White Speed to pay for his ticket, only for the latter to point to the subscription money to use for it.
One of the bigger claims made by Maba Jarbou in the video is that someone White Speed met during iShowSpeed’s American tour was constantly feeding the stream sniper information, and that’s how he was able to track and snipe the famous streamer so easily.
Maba provided no proof or evidence of his claims aside from the pictures showing them being together in various locations. White Speed has not publicly addressed the allegations either.
IShowSpeed continues his African tour. After having raced against a real cheetah, he now visited the Maasai tribe in Kenya and participated in their traditions like drinking cow blood mixed with milk or jumping the highest.
