IShowSpeed's production team member speaks
According to Jimmy, the backpack he carried contained a live transmitter used by streamers and content creators.
In a video shared on TikTok, Jimmy explained that the live transmitter has multiple SIM cards and a Starlink, which allows it to automatically switch between networks to prevent downtime.
In his words:
"I was on the iShowSpeed production team, and a lot of you guys were asking me what's in this backpack.
"Let me explain. First of all, I was not the one who quit. It is called a TVU. It is a live transmitter used by streamers and content creators.
"It has multiple SIM cards and also Starlink, which allows it to automatically switch between the best network, and it should prevent any lag or downtime.
"They cost roughly $10,000 each, and you also have to have a monthly service plan and also all your SIM cards and mobile data.
"But that's the TVU."

IShowSpeed hits back at Nigerian content creators
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that IShowSpeed had hit back at Nigerian content creators begging for attention.
The US streamer, who is currently touring several African countries under his Speed Does Africa project, had been called out by some Nigerian influencers, most notably TikToker Peller, after their repeated attempts to meet him reportedly failed.
