YouTube sensation IShowSpeed said he ‘needed to go to hospital’ after he was seen competing at the Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling race on Monday.
The annual event at Cooper’s Hill sees competitors race down a steep incline in a bid to be the first to grab a 3kg rolling wheel of Double Gloucester Cheese.
It came after the YouTuber had been invited to Manchester United’s FA Cup winners’ party on Saturday night and was seen celebrating the club’s victory alongside several members of the team.
After the race, he told a reporter from the BBC that he had sustained an injury to his leg but did not seem seriously hurt. The YouTuber also added that he came fourth in the race.
‘Just tell us about your leg, have you fractured your leg?’ a reporter from the BBC asked the American after the race.

‘You see that blood right there?’ Speed said, while pointing to his leg.
The YouTuber subsequently told the reporter that had a leg injury, adding: ‘It bruises and swells up. So I have to go to the hospital after.’
When asked whether it was worth it, the YouTuber replied: ‘Hell yeah!’ while laughing.
‘It looks scary but once that first slide is done, you’re like, “you know what, I can do this”. And I took it but I want to do it again because I know how to win now.
‘I won fourth place in my first time with no technique, with no videos. But I did it,’ he added.
He was also asked whether he’d give it another go, replying: ‘Yeah!’
The 19-year-old, who is an avid Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo fan, had been in London this weekend to watch his side seal a 2-1 victory against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
He was also seen in a video arguing with several United supporters inside Wembley, after he had tried to rouse the crowd to cheer on his team.

At 2-0 up Speed had shouted to supporters around him: ‘Come on y’all, be wild, we’re winning.
Some United fans did not appear to like his calls, with some standing up, shouting back at the YouTuber. Speed responded, saying: ‘We support the same club!’
He added: ‘What the hell is he mad for. What the f***. Sit down. What’s wrong with you bro. I should’ve watched the game on my own.’
