YOUTUBE sensation IShowSpeed had his stream shut down by the platform on Thursday.

Darren Watkins, better known as IShowSpeed, 18, was recording in India before being shut down due to "policy violations."

Speed, who has 20.7 million YouTube subscribers, is one of the most popular names in streaming.

During his broadcast in India, the young star's video was cut shorter than expected.

YouTube abruptly ended the over three-hour stream down, claiming "policy violations" as the reasoning.

Fans were confused but are now speculating that music copyrights were the cause.

In Mumbai, Speed was spotted making stops in a taxi.

During his time in the car, potentially copyrighted Bollywood music could be heard playing in the background.

This is what most are theorizing is the issue, including his unaffiliated daily news and reports account.

Both the songs heard, namely Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Blue Eyes and Akon’s début Bollywood single Chammak Challo, are owned by the record label T-Series.

Also on stream, Speed collaborated with the Indian rapper MC Stan.

During his time with the rapper, Speed had a freestyle session and rapped over multiple beats.

The 18-year-old even enjoyed his time in the country by playing cricket.

This isn't a permanent ban or anything of dire consequences, but he'll have to be more careful.

If YouTube does end up banning Speed in the future, he can fall back on Twitch, where he was just recently unbanned.
