      In the clip, Speed – whose real name is actually Darren Watkins Jr.  – can be seen with his eye still swollen lying in a hospital bed as he addresses his followers.
      He said on his YouTube channel: “Alright guys, right now yall, I am still currently in the hospital.
      “I really just want to go home and stream for you all, but I don’t know how long I am going to be here, I am hospitalized.

      “But guys, every second I think I am going to die, every second.
