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.[3] Speed released "Ronaldo (Sewey)" prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup as a meme song using Ronaldo's famous "Siuuu" phrase. Speed released "World Cup" on November 4 in honor of the same tournament.[4]
