Pogba set up a FaceTime with Ibrahimovic for Speed, who was streaming their meeting live, and the former Sweden international immediately accused the YouTube star of “ignoring his messages”. Speed continued to claim his innocence by saying that he does not check his Instagram messages, but the former Paris Saint-Germain striker was having none of it.

As soon as the video call got underway, Ibrahimovic said: “Oh, Speed, I sent you a video on Instagram, and you didn’t even f*cking reply. You are getting f*cking arrogant now.” Meanwhile, Speed kept pleading his innocence and asking the former Sweden striker to “chill”. Speed replied, “I didn’t see it, I didn’t know you texted me”, while Pogba continued to be in hysterics next to him.
Pogba then cheekily asked his former Man Utd team-mate, “You want to slap him right now?”, to which Zlatan replied, “I’m gonna kick his ass”. Meanwhile, Speed whispered to the camera that Ibrahimovic was “scary”, as he continued to check his phone for messages.
Regarding the video, Ibrahimovic added: “You answered to the text, and then I asked you if you liked the video, and you didn’t even answer.”
Speed replied: “Zlaty chill, chill. I got you, I got you. I’m gonna text you back. See it’s because I don’t check my Instagram DMs.” Ibrahimovic gave a tongue-in-cheek reply and said: “You got f*cking arrogant. All the players made you famous, now you think you’re more famous than them.”
Pogba kept fuelling the banter and told Speed: “When I text you, you better reply, huh? Don’t do those things.”
Speed’s rise into the footballing world began as a complete newbie in 2020 when he reacted to a clip of Cristiano Ronaldo, which went viral all across the globe. Soon, Speed became a streamer synonymous with video games like FC, where his antics brought him a lot of fame through the footballing world, so much so that he has now gotten to the point where he hangs out with renowned footballers like Pogba and Ibrahimovic, and has also been welcomed to multiple Ballon d’Or ceremonies and football matches.
Ibrahimovic has been fairly busy since his retirement in 2023, as he took up the mantle of ‘senior advisor’ for AC Milan. Pogba, meanwhile, joined Monaco earlier this summer in a bid to bring his career back on track following his doping ban.
