Background
IShowSpeed began his obsession with football after a fan donated to Speed asking who was his favorite football player, to which he replied, "Christo [sic] Ronaldo, sewey!". Speed started playing FIFA during his livestream and slowly became his main persona which led to him being invited to the Sidemen 2022 Charity Match.[2] Speed released "Ronaldo (Sewey)" prior to the world cup as a meme song using Ronaldo's famous "Siu" phrase. Speed released "World Cup" on November 4 in honor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[1]
