  • Dillon Danis says Logan Paul fight could be off as Nina Agdal files “massive” lawsuit – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis says Logan Paul fight could be off as Nina Agdal files “massive” lawsuit YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, TheMacLifeDillon Danis says his highly-anticipated boxing match with Logan Paul could be in jeopardy after Nina Agdal filed a “massive” lawsuit against him. The feud between mixed martial artist Dillon Danis and YouTube star Logan Paul has just taken a drastic turn — one that could call off their upcoming fight. These two personalities have been beefing for weeks now after Danis began incessantly posting about Paul’s fiance, Danish supermodel Nina Agdal. Danis has attempted to get under Logan’s skin by posting numerous photos of Agdal alongside other men, seeming to imply that she’s slept with them, as well as uploading scantily-clad pictures from her photoshoots. The ordeal has resulted in a slew of hateful posts about both Agdal and Paul online — something that Paul himself said was going “too far.” Now, it seems that Agdal is taking action against Danis after the fighter claimed she filed a “massive” lawsuit against him. Nina Agdal reportedly files “massive” lawsuit against Dillon Danis On September 6, Danis posted on X that he’s facing a big lawsuit from Agdal, as well as a restraining order. That’s not all; he also claimed that she’s “seeking prison time” for him. As a final threat, Danis made sure to let Paul know that he was a “dead man walking” and said that their fight would be in jeopardy if he were to get jail time. “Nina Adgal has filed a massive lawsuit against me,” he wrote. “She filed a restraining order against me and is seeking prison time, so the fight is in jeopardy if I’m in jail. This is actually wild, but I won’t stop f**k the system come get me. Logan Paul is a dead man walking.” Nina Agdal says she suffered “humiliation and reputational harm” in Dillon Danis lawsuit In court documents obtained by TMZ sports, Agdal claims she’s suffered “humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm” as a result of Dillon’s antics. She also claims that one of Danis’s posts, which included an uncensored photo taken from a “romantic encounter” over ten years ago, even broke federal and state laws. “Danis posted the photograph — entirely uncensored — from his X (Twitter) account, without Plaintiff’s consent,” Agdal said in her suit. “Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photograph in order to maximize the number of views it would receive.” That’s not all; Agdal also implied that Danis or someone else may have “hacked” her Snapchat account in order to dig out an old video from her archive, which he’d also posted on X (which you can view below). Agdal is reportedly seeking “no less” than $150,000 in damages and is asking a judge to prohibit Danis from posting any more explicit images of her moving forward. Dillon Danis reacts after Nina Agdal shares lawsuit details Danis has responded to Agdal sending the details of her suit to TMZ, notably calling her a “clout-whore” for sharing the info with them. Both Logan and Nina yet to speak on the situation publicly. For now, no news has come out regarding a potential delay for the PRIME card, but we’ll make sure to keep you updated on the situation right here on Dexerto.

  • Dillon Danis says Logan Paul beef “isn’t personal” despite everything – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis says Logan Paul beef “isn’t personal” despite everything YouTube: Seconds OutDillon Danis has claimed that his beef with Logan Paul “isn’t personal” despite everything that has gone on between them in the build-up to their fight. The beef between Dillon Danis and the Paul brothers – Logan and Jake – isn’t anything new. It’s been happening for years online, especially since Jake initially offered him a fight back in 2020 for $1 million. Of course, that fight never happened. Now that Dillon is getting ready to fight Logan Paul, things have ramped up a notch again. The former UFC fighter has gone after the YouTuber’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, prompting a lawsuit and restraining order. The pair has constantly traded barbs over the lawsuit too, with Danis continually complaining that it shouldn’t happen given they’re involved in a fight and can settle it there. The former UFC fighter had threatened to pull out of the fight too, suggesting that their beef will never be settled. However, Dillon believes it’s not actually all that personal. Dillon Danis says Logan Paul beef isn’t actually personal That’s right, despite everything that has gone on – all the insults, the lawsuit, and constant jibes – Dillon believes it’s actually just all business and not personal. “I don’t mind. For me, it’s not personal, it’s business,” Danis said following his pre-fight workout when asked if he and Logan could ever be friends. “I don’t give a s*it about the guy, if he wants to be cool, we’ll cool. I don’t have a personal beef with him.” Timestamp of 1:45 While Danis might say its not personal, there is certainly an element of doubt that hangs over that. His longtime training partner, Conor McGregor, has urged him to “break” Logan’s leg in the fight. Dillon has suggested that he might use his MMA background in the fight, which would break the rules and get him disqualified – and very likely create a massive controversy. So, who knows.

  • Dillon Danis says he’s “not done” with Logan Paul & Nina amid offer to settle lawsuit – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis says he’s “not done” with Logan Paul & Nina amid offer to settle lawsuit YouTube: DAZN Boxing, IMPAULSIVEDillon Danis says he’s “not done yet” with Logan Paul and Nina Agdal despite losing to the ImPaulsive host in their long-awaited boxing match and having a settlement offer on the table. The Paul brothers – Logan and Jake – have been beefing with Dillon Danis for a few years. It all goes back to when influencer boxing was first on the rise and they wanted to fight Conor McGregor – Dillon’s longtime training partner. Fast forward to 2023 and it’s mainly become a Logan vs Dillon thing. They agreed to fight on the highly-anticipated Prime Card – with Logan ultimately winning. In the build-up to the clash, things got incredibly heated. The former UFC fighter constantly went after Logan’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, leading to a lawsuit and restraining order being dished out. That lawsuit is continuing to rumble in the wake of the YouTuber’s victory, and Dillon isn’t giving up. Dillon Danis says he’s “not done” going after Logan Paul & Nina Logan admitted that he’d made a “mistake” by agreeing to fight Dillon, given everything that had transpired, as it was “inhumane” what his rival had been saying about Nina. However, Danis isn’t budging. “I’m not done yet. Should of killed me when you had the chance,” he said, replying to a clip of Logan’s comments about it being a mistake in fighting him. The former UFC fighter also followed that up by claiming that he’s been offered a settlement for their lawsuit too. “Nina offered a settlement of 400k today she can go suck another d*ck,” he added. It was reported that Nina was seeking at least $150,000 in damages from what Danis had been tweeting about her – which included photos of her with previous partners. There were also a number of fake images as well. Danis has been mocked by the internet for taking a bit of a victory lap despite his defeat, given that many expected him to be knocked out early on in the fight.

  • Dillon Danis says he’ll KO Jake Paul and claims Logan is considering “pulling out” – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis says he’ll KO Jake Paul and claims Logan is considering “pulling out” Instagram: Dillon DanisDillon Danis has called for Jake Paul to be ready to replace his older brother Logan as their fight on the upcoming Prime boxing card is in turmoil following legal disputes. After years of back and forth, Logan Paul and Dillon Danis are finally set to throw down come October 14. However, two months away from fight night, which will undoubtedly be the biggest event in influencer boxing so far, the bout is in danger of not going ahead. Firing shots toward his opponent, Dillon has repeatedly taunted Logan since the fight announcement, posting photos across social media of his fiancé Nina Adgal with her previous partners. Hitting back, Logan allegedly threatened his opponent with legal action, sending cease and desist letters to “censor” Danis. With the fight now potentially off the cards too according to the UFC fighter, he’s called on the younger Paul brother to prepare to step into the ring. Dillon Danis calls for Jake Paul to replace Logan on Prime Card fight In a tweet on August 13, Danis requested for Jake Paul to be prepared to step up as a replacement, claiming Logan is considering pulling out of the scheduled fight. “Jake Paul, stay ready. I’d gladly KO you,” he wrote. Dillon also mocked the younger Paul brother, saying he’ll even fake a limp to lure him into the fight — poking fun at the messages he leaked between himself and Jake’s boxing coach Shane Mosley, who allegedly told him to fake a knee injury to tempt the ‘Problem Child’ to fight him. “I might even make videos faking a limp to entice you into the fight,” he said, adding: “Your little brother seems to be considering pulling out due to his hurt feelings. You might need to step up and uphold the reputation of the Paul name.” After he backed out of his fight with KSI last minute, fans have been concerned Danis will pull the same move before stepping in the ring With Logan. Although, the Prime co-founder has assured fans there’s a hefty fine awaiting the UFC star if he does. However, it’s unclear if Logan will be hit with the same penalty if he pulls out of the fight. Regardless, the Prime Card is still expected to be massive, where we’ll see KSI will also step in the ring with Tommy Fury “to do what Jake Paul couldn’t.”

  • Dillon Danis roasted after pitching UFC debut against Paddy Pimblett – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis roasted after pitching UFC debut against Paddy Pimblett Twitter: dillondanisDillon Danis is being dragged online after suggesting he make his UFC debut against Paddy Pimblett, a pitch that has not taken well by viewers. Mixed martial artist Dillon Danis is a free agent after cutting ties with Bellator MMA following his loss by disqualification to Logan Paul in the boxing ring. Now, Danis is looking to make his return and “make fighting entertaining again”, his eyes seemingly set on a UFC opportunity. Taking to Twitter, Danis shared his hopes for the future with a high-profile opponent already in mind for his debut. But it seems not everyone is eager to see it happen. “My UFC debut against Paddy Pimblett would be quite the show, the buildup alone would be electric!” Danis wrote on Twitter. “And if we want to add some fun, we could be coaches on The Ultimate Fighter and have our fight at the end.” “Imagine the entertainment that would generate,” he claimed. “Let’s give the people what they want and make fighting entertaining again!” However, it appears Danis may have been mistaken when claiming to know what people are looking for in entertainment, getting roasted in the replies to his tweet. “Give it a rest dude you didn’t throw a single punch against a WWE wrestler, no one wants to see you in the UFC,” one person wrote. Another said, “You can’t fight your way out of a wet paper bag.” Nonetheless, it doesn’t look like Danis is giving up on his UFC debut just yet, posting another tweet pushing for a fight against Pimblett.

  • Dillon Danis reveals offer to pay even bigger penalty if he pulls out of Logan Paul fight – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis reveals offer to pay even bigger penalty if he pulls out of Logan Paul fight YouTube: FULL SEND PodcastDillon Danis has claimed he actually suggested a higher penalty if he pulls out of his fight with Logan Paul, but the Paul camp didn’t go for it and settled on $100k. At its core, influencer boxing events have always been about settling scores and ending beefs. That’s how started back when KSI fought Joe Weller in 2019, and continued on that when he squared off against Logan Paul shortly after. It’s gotten way more professional in the last few years, but there are still plenty of rivalries to be settled in the thing. The next one – seeing as we’re unlikely to get KSI vs Jake Paul – is Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. The pair have been beefing on social media for years, sending shots at their relationships, fighting skills, and families too. They’re on the October 14 Misfits event – which is being dubbed the Prime Card – but if Dillon pulls out, he has to pay $100k. Though, he wanted it to be more. Dillon Danis wanted $400k penalty if Logan Paul fight cancels That clause has been put in after the former UFC fighter pulled out of his planned fight with KSI back in January. He joined the Full Send Podcast on August 16 to say that he only ever wanted to fight Logan, and that’s why he advocated for a bigger penalty if it doesn’t happen. “Exactly, right? He pulled out the first time,” the MMA star said, referring to a previously planned fight between them. “I have the texts with Logan because I actually have Logan’s number. I said $400k and they didn’t do it, so. If they say $100k I’m not going to f*ck around.” Danis also claimed that there isn’t a similar clause for Logan because “they just want him on the show no matter what,” and will put him against any fighter if it means he’s on there. Timestamp of 13:36 As noted, it’s around two months until fight night, so there are plenty of chances for things to change and the fight to be canceled. We’ll just have to wait and see if that’s the case, but the pair have been rather personal already with their trash talk, so they’ll both want to end things.

  • Dillon Danis reveals heated DMs from Logan Paul: “Why you so scared?” – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis reveals heated DMs from Logan Paul: “Why you so scared?” Instagram: Dillon Danis / YouTube: Logan PaulMMA fighter Dillon Danis has tweeted a screenshot of a heated private text conversation with YouTuber Logan Paul following his beef with Jake Paul. Public spats between Dillon and Jake are unsurprising, as their beef has been brewing for years. The two stars have gone back and forth across social media multiple times in the past. Most recently, Jake has tried to taunt various rivals into a boxing match. Now that Paul boasts a 2-0 record after beating Nate Robinson, he’s on the prowl for new opponents. Jake has also been taunting Conor McGregor, putting up $50 million dollars to try and make a fight happen. Danis is also high on that list. On December 15, Jake posted a video to Twitter that showed him rolling up and tossing water balloons and toilet paper at Danis while the fighter gave an interview streetside in LA, before driving off and laughing. Caught the biggest shit talker slacking @dillondanis you gotta check in when you come to La. #GenerousDriveBy pic.twitter.com/460MjnO3F6 — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 15, 2020 Now it seems that Dillon has issues with both of the Paul brothers. Dillon tweeted a screenshot of his conversation with Logan captioning it “Family of Pussies” and adding “#fuckthepauls.” family full of pussies #fuckthepauls pic.twitter.com/gVzofYB1ru — Dillon Danis (@dillondanis) December 23, 2020 In the text conversations, Dillon asks Logan why he banned him from his fight, to which Logan responds “I know you’re a clout-chasing lil b**ch who can’t keep my name out your mouth.” Dillon then responds “wow so hostile, you film dead people for clout don’t speak about clout chasing to me my song… why you so scared of me I’m not gonna harm you kiddo,” while Logan describes him as a “dummy” and a “doorknob.” If Dillon wants to fight Logan over Jake, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon, with Logan set to fight the undefeated champion, Floyd Mayweather, in February. At the time of writing Jake hasn’t persuaded Conor McGregor or Dillon Danis to get in the ring, but with the sheer amount of money involved it wouldn’t be surprising to see a match go down in the new year.

  • Dillon Danis retires from fighting following Logan Paul defeat – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis retires from fighting following Logan Paul defeat Instagram: DillonDanisDillon Danis has said he’s retired from fighting, following his defeat to Logan Paul by disqualification at the Prime card boxing event. After months of anticipation, Logan Paul and Dillon Danis finally stepped in the ring on October 14. While the ‘Maverick’ went into the fight clear-headed, claiming he’d forgiven Danis, the fight ended in mayhem. Coming the sixth and final round, it was clear to many that Logan had dominated the fight, where if the result went to the judge’s scorecards, Danis would lose. In the final moments of the last round, it all ended in chaos as Dillion Danis tried to grab Logan Paul and drag him down to the canvas. The match was ultimately called as with the UFC star getting DQed, crowning Logan Paul the winner of the bout. Dillon Danis announces fighting retirement While that doesn’t rule out a rematch between the two in MMA, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on November 15, Danis has now announced that he is “done” with fighting. “I’m done with fighting. I’m retired. Love you all,” the post read. Notorious for being a troll, it’s unknown if Danis is being serious and truly hanging up the gloves once and for all. However, there’s certainly interest to see Logan Paul and Dillon Danis fight in MMA. Danis has since appealed the result of his fight with Logan to the PBA, the governing body that sanctioned the bout, all while Logan Paul has gone on to defeat Rey Mysterio at the recent WWE Crown Jewel, winning his first-ever championship in the United States title — and even saved his opponent’s life at the same time. The outcome of the Danis’ appeal is still pending, as Logan Paul has since said in an interview with Fox Business that he too has “retired” from boxing after beating Danis, switching focus to the WWE.

    Dillon Danis responds to Nina Agdal’s lawsuit in new development YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, TheMacLifeDillon Danis has responded to part of Nina Agdal’s lawsuit, claiming he didn’t know he needed consent to post public photos of hers that are “intimate”. Over the last few years, Dillon Danis has clashed with the Paul brothers – Logan and Jake – a fair few times. For the most, their arguments had been kept online, but turned personal as he and Logan agreed to fight. In the build-up to the fight, which the YouTuber ultimately won, Danis decided to start going after Logan’s fiancee – Nina Agdal. It may have seemed like normal pre-fight trash talk at first, but ti got much more personal as time went on. The former UFC fighter has constantly posted photos of Nina with previous partners – including a number of fake photos – and claimed he had “bombshell” images to come. Dillon Danis responds to Nina Agdal lawsuit over posting “intimate” images That ultimately led to a lawsuit being served and a restraining order being placed on Dillon from posting any further images. While the fight in the ring is long gone, the legal one continues as the former UFC fighter has finally responded to part of the lawsuit. Nina is suing him under the federal revenge porn law and posting photos without consent, whereas Dillon’s side of it claims he didn’t know he needed consent given one of the images had been posted publicly before. “The following pictures posted by the plaintiff (Nina) on her own social media accounts, as result of which defendant (Dillon) did not know and had no reason to know that any specific nude or partially nude picture of plaintiff was available without her consent,” his side argues. There have been claims that Nina’s Snapchat account was also hacked to reveal some personal videos and images back in 2022. However, it’s unclear who exactly got access. Dillon has been offered a settlement in the case amounting to $400,000 but he rejected that and has chosen to fight on. He says he’s “not done” with Nina or Logan quite yet.

More recently Jake Paul confirmed his next match would be against ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, although the match has been postponed until November. On Monday night Logan Paul tweeted that he’d give $10,000 to any influencer that could beat him in a wrestling match. Danis retweeted him and said $1 million “if you can beat me.” Just last week Danis, hinted in an interview with ESPN MMA that he would be fighting one of the Paul brothers. He said: “About Logan Paul. They have reached out, so like it will happen. One of them will happen – 100%.” Dillon Danis is an MMA fighter and training partner of Conor McGregor.

    Dillon Danis responds as Logan Paul claims he committed a “federal crime” YouTube: imPaulsive/TikTokLogan Paul and Dillon Danis has clashed yet again, with the former UFC fighter calling Logan a “coward” after the YouTuber-turned-wrestler claimed Danis had “admitted” to a federal crime during their recent face-to-face. The Paul brothers and Dillon Danis have been going back and forth online for years, but things have seriously heated up now that Logan and Dillon are scheduled to fight on October 14. Danis has constantly gone after Logan’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, posting photos of her with other men – some real and plenty fake. That has sparked legal action between them too, with Agdal getting a restraining order against the former UFC fighter and also claiming damages of $150,000. Logan and Dillon recently took part in a head-to-head for DAZN, marking the first time they’ve been together since the fight was announced. Well, now he’s claiming that a lot of that was edited as per a request from Dillon. Logan Paul & Dillon Danis clash again over “federal crime” claims The YouTuber-turned-wrestler posted an Instagram story on September 20, noting that he’d “finally” watched the face-to-face back and claimed that there was around “10 minutes” of footage missing that he wanted to air. He also claimed that Dillon had requested that be taken out as he’d apparently admitted to a federal crime in there. Danis fired back at that claim, calling Logan a “coward” and a “rat” for involving the law in their beef. “Translation: Predator commits federal crime in pursuit of stalking and harassing woman he’s never met & is upset he’s held accountable,” the imPaulsive host said in response to that. The former UFC fighter finally responded to that a few hours later, saying that “no federal crime has been committed” as he also labeled Logan a ‘liar’ for his claims. “No federal crime has been committed. You’re just listening to the lies of your fiancée in order to save her self-image. Everything is public, and I will prove that. It’s not my fault you didn’t Google her name before you put a ring on that Thot,” he tweeted. The legal action posed by Nina has threatened to jeopardize the fight, prompting Logan to bring in fellow former UFC fighter ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry as a backup option. Though, it remains to be seen if that’ll be needed.

Now, the latest turn of events has seen Paul leak DM’s allegedly from one of Danis’ recent hookups, though Danis seems less convinced. “Interesting,” Paul wrote on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of the alleged leaked DM with the sender’s name blacked out. “I met up with Dillon the night of the fight press conference in London, we had a threesome,” the anonymous sender claimed. “But the whole time he was so scared and paranoid that Logan had sent us to f*** with him. He’s trying to play it cool but he’s terrified of Logan” The sender also specified some of the alleged acts they engaged in with Danis, their reasoning for the added information being, “I want Logan to use this against Dillon, I hate the way he’s talking about Nina.” Danis doesn’t seem too phased by the leaked message, however, sharing the screenshot himself on Twitter and writing, “[What the f***] is this? I actually laughed out loud.” Whether or not the leaked DM is real, fans will have to wait and see who takes the crown when push comes to shove and these two rivals face off in the ring.

    Dillon Danis questions lack of drug tests for Logan Paul fight after calling him a “juice head” Misfits BoxingDillon Danis has suggested that he and Logan Paul aren’t being drug tested for their upcoming fight after the results of KSI and Tommy Fury’s tests were revealed. When influencer boxing fights first started out, they were little more than amateur events. While production was like a professional pay-per-view fight, the records didn’t count for any recognized body and everyone had to wear headguards. Things have taken a massive leap forward in recent years, and now, every influencer fight is contested as a professional one. That, of course, means drug testing and being spot on with weigh-ins. Logan Paul has constantly denied accusations of using steroids to bulk up, but he’s been put in the spotlight again ahead of his clash with Dillon Danis. Dillon Danis questions lack of drug testing for him and Logan Paul The trash-talking between Logan and Dillon has gotten incredibly personal, both online and in-person, with a legal threat from Logan’s fiancee Nina Agdal potentially jeopardizing the fight. On top of that, the former UFC fighter has suggested that neither he, nor Logan, have been drug tested so far, and it looks like he wants that to change. “Why didn’t me and Logan get these tests? Told y’all I never lie,” he tweeted on September 13, referring to the negative results from both KSI and Tommy Fury’s most recent round of testing. As noted, the YouTuber-turned-WWE wrestler has constantly denied accusations of steroid use and recently hit out Danis’ claim that he ‘denied’ testing for the fight as he also called him a “juice head.” Logan claimed, on his recent appearance on the FLAGRANT podcast, that the former UFC fighter was “making s*it up” and he was open to being tested. He hasn’t responded to this latest jibe from Dillon, though, so we’ll just have to wait and see if he does.

It’s no secret that the feud between mixed martial artist Dillon Danis and YouTube star Logan Paul is getting serious. After the two announced they’d be meeting in the boxing ring come October 14, Danis made it his mission to “sell” the fight by antagonizing his opponent’s fiance, Danish model Nina Agdal, on social media. As a result of incessantly posting photos and videos of Agdal, the model issued a restraining order against him, on top of seeking “no less than $150,000 in damages” over the ordeal.

Logan Paul bleeds after Dillon Danis punches him at face-off On October 12, the fighters on the Prime Card met up to take photos and face off with each other, as is a well-known tradition in combat sports. It’s not surprising that sometimes, these face-offs can get a bit heated, especially if there’s already preexisting beef between the combatants… but fans weren’t ready for what happened between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. During their face-off, Logan tossed a microphone at Danis, obviously annoyed at his opponent. In answer, Danis gripped his own microphone in his fist and landed a punch right to Logan Paul’s head. Security quickly stepped in and separated the two fighters, but the damage had already been done, as Logan was reportedly bleeding as a result of the blow. Dillon has since taken to Twitter/X to further antagonize Paul, even posting a photo of the blood that supposedly dripped from his head after the punch.

    Dillon Danis outraged over PPV points deal for Logan Paul fight DAZNDillon Danis has stirred the pot ahead of his clash with Logan Paul, claiming he’s getting ‘zero PPV points’ despite insisting he “built this event single-handedly.“ The ‘Prime Card’ event, slated for October 14 at the AO Arena in Manchester, UK, sold out within hours, and it’s not just Danis and Logan Paul fighting. YouTube star KSI and boxer Tommy Fury are also on the fight card, making it one of the most anticipated influencer boxing events to date. However, Danis claims he won’t be receiving PPV points for the fight, adding another layer to his already heated rivalry with Logan Paul. “I’m receiving zero PPV points. Can you believe that bulls***? I built this event single-handedly,” Danis tweeted. PPV points are essentially a cut of the pay-per-view sales revenue. Fighters often negotiate these into their contracts as a way to rake in extra cash on top of their guaranteed purse. The more people tune in, the bigger the paycheck. It’s a common practice in both boxing and MMA, and can sometimes be a significant part of a fighter’s total earnings. So, it’s easy to understand why Danis is frustrated. While the specifics of his contract are unknown, missing out on PPV points is like leaving money on the table—especially for an event he claims to have “built single-handedly.” The financial tweet adds another layer to the ongoing feud between Danis and Paul. For weeks, Danis has been making derogatory comments about Paul’s fiancée, Nina Adgal. Paul, for the most part, has remained unfazed by Danis’ antics. Paul returned fire in a different way, however, announcing Mike Perry as the backup fighter in the case Danis decides to be a no-show. Paul even went as far as to stare down with Mike Perry at the pre-fight press conference shortly after Danis was removed from the stage. Whether Danis’ tweet is a negotiating tactic, a genuine complaint, or just a way to keep us all talking, Danis sure knows how to command attention.

  • Dillon Danis offers to spar Jake Paul’s upcoming opponent on Adin Ross’ stream – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis offers to spar Jake Paul’s upcoming opponent on Adin Ross’ stream YouTube: Boxing Social, Misfits Boxing / Instagram: adinrossIn his latest bid for an MMA fight with Jake Paul, Dillon Danis has offered to fight the ‘Problem Child’s’ upcoming opponent on Adin Ross’ Kick stream. Mixed martial artist Dillon Danis famously took an L to longtime rival Logan Paul in their highly-anticipated boxing match on October 14. Despite his trash-talk on Twitter, Danis attempted to pull off his grappling moves on the older Paul brother in the middle of their fight, ultimately losing the bout by DQ. Now, he’s got his eyes set on Jake Paul, with whom he’s been begging to have an MMA match for months now. Danis has not been quiet about his desire to face off with Jake in the octagon. In October alone, the fighter called out the ‘Problem Child’ several times, challenging him to an MMA bout to “see how much of a man you really are.” Come December, Danis has made yet another offer to the YouTuber-turned-boxer — this time hoping to upend his upcoming match against pro boxer Andre August. Dillon Danis wants to fight Jake Paul’s boxing opponent on Adin Ross’ Kick channel On December 7, Danis made a post on Twitter/X making a unique proposition for the influencer. Rather than Jake fighting August on December 15 as planned, Danis wants to spar the pro beforehand on internet star Adin Ross’ Kick stream and face off with Jake on the day his fight is officially scheduled. “Hey @jakepaul, I’ve got a proposal for you,” Danis wrote. “I’ll spar with the bum you’re currently set to fight, live on @adinross’s stream. When I embarrass him, you’ll have to agree to fight me in MMA on the same date you’ve planned for your fight against him. What do you say, kiddo — deal?” Thus far, Jake hasn’t responded to Danis’ proposition, nor has Adin Ross. However, Danis isn’t the only one making noise about a possible match on the 15. KSI is also facing off with IShowSpeed on that very same day in a sparring match for charity live streamed on Speed’s YouTube channel. While it’s not confirmed, many fans believe this to be a jab at Jake’s match against August — something that many fighters seem to want a piece of.

  • Dillon Danis, Logan Paul, & Nina Agdal saga explained: Bombshell pictures, restraining orders, more – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis, Logan Paul, & Nina Agdal saga explained: Bombshell pictures, restraining orders, more Instagram: Logan Paul / Instagram: Nina Agdal / Instagram: Dillon DanisThe announcement of Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis spawned a wave of controversy as the two trade blows online, making matters personal with Paul’s partner Nina Agdal entering the mix as well. From fight-endangering threats of leaking bombshell photographs to very legitimate restraining orders, here’s the full timeline to get you caught up. After years away from combat sports, both social media celebrity Logan Paul and infamous internet troll Dillon Danis are now set to make their returns against one another later this year. Though before we even get to the boxing match itself, the pair have already traded devastating blows online. What began as fairly typical trash talk, mainly emanating from Danis’ camp, has now spiraled into one viral controversy after another. Legal teams are even stepping in as Paul’s partner Nina Agdal has also come under fire. So from the initial fight announcement itself up to the latest court orders, here’s the full timeline of events to get you up to speed. Timeline of events: Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis fight announced – Dillon Danis begins trolling – Nina Agdal comes into the crosshairs – Nina Agdal files lawsuit against Dillon Danis – Dillon Danis announced as Logan Paul’s next opponent First teased all the way back in July, the next Misfits x DAZN influencer boxing event was soon revealed to be the ‘Prime card.’ Named after their joint business venture with Prime Hydration, both KSI and Logan Paul were announced as co-headliners for the combat sports spectacle on July 28. Initially, opponents for the rivals turned business partners were kept under wraps. Though days later it was revealed KSI would be stepping in against undefeated Tommy Fury, while Paul would be squaring off against former Bellator fighter Dillon Danis. Set to take place on October 14 at the Manchester Arena, this now highly-anticipated event will mark Paul’s first combat sports contest in over two years, following his exhibition with Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, Danis laces up boxing gloves for the first time ever after a four-year absence from the MMA cage. Dillon Danis begins typical trolling antics Although Danis has been absent from competition over those years, he certainly hasn’t been quiet online. Far from it, in fact, as Danis has been linked to multiple other fights in recent months – including one against KSI at the start of the year – though has ultimately pulled out from them all for various reasons. Now, with a specific pull-out clause in place, and this clash against Paul seemingly locked in, it didn’t take long for Danis to begin his usual antics on social media. It started with some initial jabs at his opponent, poking fun at past scandals while seeking a date on the IMPAULSIVE podcast. Just days after the floodgates opened and Danis quickly claimed he was already being threatened with legal action from Paul as a result of the trash talk. Things ramped to a completely different level when Danis began targeting someone else. Rather than focusing the bulk of his online hostility towards the man he’ll actually be fighting come October 14, Danis instead pivoted to focus much of his trolling on Nina Agdal. Dillon Danis targets Logan’s partner Nina Agdal As the beef continued heating up, Danis gained more traction than ever when sharing pictures of Paul’s fiance Nina Agdal. Dozens of photos were circulated online, some real, some clearly doctored, of the model appearing with various other male celebrities. The intention being to reveal possible former relationships and supposed physical entanglements. In light of these numerous posts, Danis soon went on to claim he’d already caused infighting between the couple. “It’s, you know, trouble in paradise,” he said at the time on the FULL SEND Podcast. On August 20, however, tensions reached their boiling point. Danis suggested he had obtained a particularly explicit image of Agdal, one that if shared online, would see the Prime card “canceled.” “This picture is like a nuclear bomb. The damage it would do would be irreparable,” he claimed. “If I dropped this pic, it would end the fight, end his engagement, and I might even find myself in jail.” A handful of divisive social media figures have allegedly been shown the picture in question. For one, Andrew Tate chimed in, agreeing with the severity of the fallout should it ever surface on the internet. Next was Adin Ross who argued the “nuke” photo was taking things “too far.” For the time being, no one else quite knows the exact contents of said picture, though all the teasing has certainly benefitted Danis. The ceaseless trolling across social media has pulled in over 2 billion views on Twitter alone, and we’re still more than a month out from the fight itself, should it still go ahead. Nina Agdal files lawsuit against Dillon Danis As a result of the onslaught, Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis on September 6. The model claimed she had suffered “humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm” in light of Danis’ harassment online. The lawsuit alleges Danis, or an associate of Danis “hacked” her Snapchat account to unearth an old video that has since been shared to millions of views on Twitter. Agdal is reportedly seeking “no less” than $150,000 in damages to begin with, but there’s more to it than just financial ramifications. A temporary restraining order was also filed against Danis simultaneously, one Agdal hopes would prevent him from sharing any further explicit images online. This restraining order was expedited through the legal system and granted on September 7. “Ordered that pending the September 12, 2023 hearing and until further Order of the Court, Defendant and all persons in active concert or participation with him are enjoined from posting sexually explicit photographs of the plaintiff on the internet without her consent,” the order reads. “She filed a restraining order against me and is seeking prison time,” Danis followed up publicly shortly after the news broke. “The fight is in jeopardy if I’m in jail. This is actually wild but I won’t stop. F*** the system, come and get me. Logan Paul is a dead man walking.” And that gets us to today, where the Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis fight seemingly hangs in the balance. Should it be called off, former UFC fighter Mike Perry is waiting in the wings as a backup option to face Paul. Though will that be necessary? Will Danis put a stop to his trolling and ensure the fight goes ahead? How will Paul respond from here? It’s all a waiting game for now but rest assured we’ll update you here with any further developments in the lead-up to the October 14 event.

  • Dillon Danis lays out demands for MMA fight with Jake Paul – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis lays out demands for MMA fight with Jake Paul YouTube: Jake Paul / Instagram: @dillondanisDillon Danis has laid out his demands for an MMA fight with Jake Paul as he looks to get back to winning ways after his loss to Logan Paul. The Paul brothers and Dillon Danis have been beefing online for a few years now. It all started when they went after UFC superstar Conor McGregor – Dillon’s longtime training partner – as influencer boxing events were on the rise. Since then, things have gotten incredibly personal between Dillon and Logan especially. The former UFC fighter went after the YouTuber’s fiancee – Nina Agdal – before Logan defeated him in the boxing ring on the highly-anticipated Prime Card. Jake had stayed away from that beef until close to fight night, and even offered to step in if Logan couldn’t go after Danis threw a microphone at his face. Well, with his MMA debut still hanging in the balance, Dillon has offered to take Jake on, but he has a few conditions. Dillon Danis offers to fight Jake Paul in MMA with one condition That’s right, Jake has still yet to make his MMA debut with the PFL, despite signing a deal with them back in early January 2023. There has been plenty of talk about who his eventual first opponent could be – including a rematch with Nate Diaz – but Danis has also thrown his hat into the ring. Well, cage. “PFL has bought Bellator. The only way I’ll stay is if they book me against Jake Paul; otherwise, I’m going to the UFC,” he said, referencing rumors of a Bellator sale. However, that sale has yet to be confirmed. Given that a sale hasn’t happened, and the UFC is unlikely to take him back, Danis’ leverage isn’t quite what he might think it is. Jake is also scheduled to make his return to the boxing ring in December, so it’ll be at least a few months before he’s thinking about MMA.

  • Dillon Danis insists he “won the war” despite DQ loss to Logan Paul – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis insists he “won the war” despite DQ loss to Logan Paul DAZNDillon Danis has emerged on Twitter following his loss to Logan Paul on The Prime Card. Despite a defeat on paper, Danis has claimed a victory of his own. The results of The Prime Card are in following months of build-up. Logan Paul overcame ex-Bellator fighter Dillon Danis without much competition while Tommy Fury took a controversial decision win over KSI. The Paul vs Danis fight was the big draw going into the event thanks to a documented disdain between the two. A protracted “harassment campaign” from Danis targeting Paul’s fiance Nina Agdal led to a restraining order and lawsuit ahead of the fight. The intense feud between Danis and Paul led to multiple physical altercations at pre-fight events including a recent incident in which Danis swatted a microphone at Paul’s head. Danis was handed a loss in the ring but in a recent tweet, he revealed that he considered himself the winner. Responding to a Tweet in which Logan Paul referred to Danis as a “peasant” and a “clown” he claimed to have “exposed”, Danis derided Paul claiming to have “won the war”. “What did you prove? You didn’t even tickle me,” Danis began. “Everyone knew I’m not a boxer, but unlike others, I took on the challenge even with everything in your favor.” Danis accused Paul of taking steroids and claimed that Paul received numerous benefits that he did not. Unfortunately for Danis, his view of events doesn’t seem to be shared by thousands of Twitter users trolling him in the comments with memes and insults. In a separate post, Danis claimed that Logan Paul “hits like a b**ch” and challenged his brother Jake to a fight. Danis stipulated that if Jake Paul could knock him out, he would retire from fighting and give anyone who liked the Tweet $2,000. Though we’ve all seen him promise to pay fans in the past without following through. In the wake of the fight, many have come forward with disappointment in Danis after his confident pre-fight demeanor. Despite spending most of the match defending, UFC icon Connor McGregor has said he was impressed with Danis’ performance. There’s been no response from Jake Paul to Dannis’ post-fight challenge. Interestingly, Jake Paul did say he would replace Logan in The Prime Card if it came to it. Maybe a potential match is in the offer.

  • Dillon Danis hints at possibility of fighting Jake Paul in a cryptic Tweet – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis hints at possibility of fighting Jake Paul in a cryptic Tweet Jake Paul, Instagram / Dave Mandel, USA Today SportsMixed martial artist Dillon Danis may have hinted at the possibility of a legitimate bout with YouTuber Jake Paul, thanks to a cryptic Tweet he posted on December 10 – just one day after Paul had called him out in an interview with TMZ Sports. Paul challenged Danis for the umpteenth time during an interview with TMZ Sports on December 9, where he likewise called out FaZe content creator Ricky Banks – after dunking on former boxing opponent Deji Olatunji in a scathing series of comments. “I want to fight someone at an elevated level,” Paul explained after challenging the two personalities. While Paul had also challenged Danis in a Tweet on November 4, as well as during his vlog officially calling out FaZe Banks on December 9, Danis appears to have finally gotten the message – and he may even deigned to grace Paul with an official response. Danis published a Tweet on December 10 that could mark a reaction to Paul’s challenge, simply writing, “Be careful what you wish for.” While Paul has yet to react to Dillon’s response, Dillon went on to upload a picture of himself and FaZe Banks on December 11. This post could further hint at the possibility of throwing down with the youngest Paul brother – possibly in Banks’ place, as Paul has only given the YouTuber three months to prepare for their potential bout. Paul has called out a slew of personalities following his fight with Deji in August of 2018, even going so far as to challenge American singer-songwriter Chris Brown, who claimed that he wants no part in any YouTube drama.

  • Dillon Danis’ girlfriend Savannah Montano slams Jake Paul cheating rumors – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis’ girlfriend Savannah Montano slams Jake Paul cheating rumors YouTube: Jake Paul / Savannah MontanoThe beef between MMA star Dillon Danis and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is getting hotter than ever after the influencer FaceTimed Danis’ girlfriend, Savannah Montano, leading to a slew of speculation from fans. Following his second-round knockout over former NBA pro Nate Robinson in November, it seems that Jake Paul has been on a mission to start beef with just about every big name in the fighting world. Even calling out the likes of Conor McGregor for a $50 million fight offer, Paul took matters to the next level by pelting mixed martial artist Dillon Danis with water balloons in a drive-by stunt that quickly went viral online. That wasn’t the end of his antics, by far; somehow, Paul managed to get the number of Danis’ girlfriend, Savannah Montano, and hit her up with an unexpected FaceTime call. “Aye Dillon Danis, come get your girl back,” he wrote in a screencap of his call with the model. However, Montano is vehemently denying any accusations and speculation of cheating on Danis with the YouTuber, as told in a pointed video she posted to her Instagram stories. “I’m dead confused at some of you guys going, ‘Oh, but why did you answer his call?’” she began. “As if I have his f**king number saved in my phone! It was literally a random number. You can literally see in the video, I’m like, ‘Who is this?’” View this post on Instagram “I just wanna say that everybody that’s not Jake Paul’s 12-year-old fans can clearly see that he’s just a f**king loser, and I don’t know how he got my number, “ she continued. “That s**t’s embarrassing, and I don’t wanna be associated [with it]. It’s f**ked up that I’m being used as a pawn in this bulls**t.” While Danis has yet to respond to Jake’s impromptu FaceTime call at the time of writing, he has updated his Instagram profile picture to a photo of himself and Tana Mongeau, showing that Jake isn’t the only one who can hit below the belt.

  • Dillon Danis fails to appear in court for Nina Agdal restraining order hearing – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis fails to appear in court for Nina Agdal restraining order hearing Instagram: DillonDanis, ninaagdalDillon Danis reportedly failed to appear in court for the hearing regarding model Nina Agdal’s restraining order against him. Dillon Danis’s feud with Logan Paul has entered another chapter as the mixed martial artist reportedly failed to show up to his court hearing regarding a restraining order filed against him by Danish model Nina Agdal. The order was filed after weeks of Danis harassing Agdal on social media, incessantly posting photos of the model posing alongside other men in an attempt to aggravate upcoming boxing opponent Logan Paul. However, after Danis posted explicit photos and videos of Agdal without her consent, she filed a “massive” lawsuit against him seeking “no less than $150,000 in damages” — as well as a restraining order. Although Danis feared his fight with Logan might be in jeopardy if he received jail time over the incident, he was clearly unfazed by the ordeal, saying in a tweet: “I won’t stop, f*ck the system, come get me. Logan Paul is a dead man.” Dillon Danis doesn’t show up to court for Nina Agdal restraining order Yesterday, Danis was supposed to appear in court for the hearing regarding Nina’s restraining order… but according to advertising & ecommerce lawyer Rob Freund, Danis failed to show up. Thus, according to Freund, the restraining order will remain in place “for the duration of the underlying lawsuit against him.” Thus far, it doesn’t look like Danis has responded to this latest news — but he did post a video from Agdal online, something that some fans claim might violate Nina’s restraining order against him, which prohibits the fighter and those “in active participation with him” from posting explicit photos of the model online. For now, it appears as though Danis vs Paul is still a-go for October 14, but we’ll keep you updated right here on Dexerto if anything changes.

  • Dillon Danis exposes texts with Logan Paul revealing YouTuber pulled out of fight – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis exposes texts with Logan Paul revealing YouTuber pulled out of fight YouTube: Logan Paul, TheMacLifeMixed martial artist Dillon Danis leaked his DMs with YouTube star Logan Paul, claiming the ‘Maverick’ pulled out of a fight with him as the Misfits ‘PRIME’ card looms on the horizon. Logan Paul is currently recovering from a series of injuries he sustained during his high-flying WWE Universal bout against Roman Reigns on November 5. Despite being out of the action with a torn meniscus, MCL, and ACL, he’s still in on the internet drama after MMA hero Dillon Danis exposed his text messages with Paul — alongside some big claims about a potential fight between them. Danis shared a screenshot of his alleged DMs with Paul on November 13. Logan started the conversation by asking, “Heard you signed?” as though referencing a fight contract. Dillon Danis claims Logan Paul pulled out of fight contract “Think I wouldn’t?” Danis replied. “Time for you to stop the cycle [and] clean your system.” Danis added a syringe emoji to his message, seemingly accusing the YouTuber of using performance-enhancing drugs — not the first time Paul’s been accused of such practices. “My gut tells me you’re going to back out but I’m excited I get to finally f*ck you up,” Paul responded. “Don’t let the pressure scare ya.” Danis captioned the text exchange with a damning accusation, saying that Paul purportedly pulled out of their proposed fight. “Guess who pulled out?” Danis wrote. “The Paul Sisters will never fight a real fighter.” Danis’ claims follow Paul’s knee injuries, but it’s unclear if this prompted the YouTuber to allegedly pull out of the bout, if Dillon’s screenshot is to be believed. This is far from the first time a possible fight has been teased between these two stars; in fact, Paul was rumored to fight Danis on the highly-anticipated Misfits 4 ‘PRIME’ card in January 2023, who was also game to take on the ‘Maverick’ at the event. Thus far, Paul has yet to respond to Danis’ latest claims, but it’s certain that he won’t appear on the PRIME card as KSI claimed his business partner’s injuries will most likely keep him out of the ring until he recovers.

  • Dillon Danis claims Logan Paul will “thank” him after Nina Agdal lawsuit – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims Logan Paul will “thank” him after Nina Agdal lawsuit YouTube: MMA FightingDillon Danis has claimed that he hasn’t gone “too far” in his beef with Logan Paul and Nina Agdal, believing he’ll be “helping” Logan long-term. The beef between Dillon Danis and the Paul brothers – Logan and Jake – has been ongoing for years. However, now that he’s finally set to fight Logan on October 14, the former UFC fighter has gotten incredibly personal about Logan’s relationship with Nina Agdal. Danis has constantly tweeted out photos of Nina with former partners – some real and some fake – in an attempt to get under Logan’s skin. Agdal has, instead, sued the former UFC fighter for defamation of character and gotten a temporary restraining order against him. Logan isn’t involved with the lawsuit but has accused Danis of committing a “federal crime” with some of the things he’s posted. Given that the two are fighting, Danis has constantly gone after Logan over the lawsuit but now believes he will be “helping” the couple if their relationship goes south. Dillon Danis claims he’s “helping” Logan Paul with Nina Agdal lawsuit Ahead of the fight on October 14, Dillon appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to discuss the upcoming clash and his ongoing lawsuit. When quizzed about whether he’d gone too far, Danis disputed that. “I just threw a picture out there and I didn’t realize how bad she was. Like, he is going to thank me. I swear to God, he’s going to thank me,” the former UFC fighter claimed. “I’m telling you, they’re going to be divorced and he’s going to thank me. She’s not a good person, I’m telling you. She just goes in, next famous guy who has money, it’s a game. I’m helping him out, I’m bro-coding him.” Danis claimed he hadn’t gone too far because everything he’s posted, to this point, was previously “public” anyway. That has been disputed in the lawsuit, however, and is the basis for Logan’s claim that a “federal crime” has been committed.

  • Dillon Danis claims Logan Paul is ‘scared’ to have him on IMPAULSIVE podcast – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims Logan Paul is ‘scared’ to have him on IMPAULSIVE podcast Instagram: Logan Paul / Dilon DanisDillon Danis seemingly wants to lock in a date with Logan Paul ahead of their planned boxing match on October 14. Though he claims Paul has declined the IMPAULSIVE offer multiple times, arguing he’s ‘scared’ to do it. It’s been over two years since we last saw Logan Paul in a boxing ring but now, his return is officially set in stone for October. In the midst of an action-packed stint with WWE, the older Paul brother has marked his return in a joint double-header with Prime co-founder KSI. With KSI first announcing his matchup with Tommy Fury, Paul’s opponent – or opponents – is now locked in too. The intention is to fight social media troll and occasional Conor McGregor sparring partner Dillon Danis, though pro boxer Hasim Rahman Jr. has been announced as the backup. Given Danis’ history of pulling out at the last minute, having done so against KSI in the past, Paul already has a second opponent signed just in case it happens again. But before we get there, Danis is getting vocal on Twitter, claiming in his typical troll fashion that Logan is ‘scared’. With the fight penciled in for October, there’s plenty of time left for promotion. One such way Danis seemingly wants to promote the fight is directly on Paul’s mega-popular IMPAULSIVE podcast. While all manner of celebrities have appeared on the show, Danis claims his offer was turned down on multiple occasions. “Logan Paul has declined doing an episode of IMPAULSIVE together in fear of a fight,” he alleged on Twitter. “I offered to do the episode with full security in the middle to ensure his safety, but he declined again. I think it would be wildly entertaining for the fans. I tried my best.” For now, especially with Danis’ history of deceiving followers online, it’s best not to take his word as gospel. There’s a chance his claims are legitimate, but there’s also a chance this is all made up for attention, at his opponent’s expense. Whether Paul would agree to a podcast episode in the leadup to the October 14 fight remains to be seen, as the host hasn’t addressed Danis publicly beyond merely confirming their bout. We’ll have to wait and see what comes of it all, but one thing is for certain. Danis will no doubt continue his antics on social media in the weeks to come, regardless of whether he actually makes it to the fight or not.

  • Dillon Danis claims Logan Paul & fiance Nina Agdal are fighting amid Twitter trash talk – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims Logan Paul & fiance Nina Agdal are fighting amid Twitter trash talk YouTube: FULL SEND PODCAST / Instagram: loganpaulDillon Danis has claimed there’s “trouble in paradise” brewing between YouTube star Logan Paul and his fiance, model Nina Agdal, as Danis continues to antagonize the couple on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Mixed martial artist Dillon Danis is currently slated to face off against Logan Paul in a boxing match on October 14. These two have been feuding for years now, and now that they’re finally set to squash their beef, Danis is becoming more antagonistic toward his opponent than ever before. Over the past day, Danis has been spamming photos of Paul’s fiance, Danish model Nina Agdal, all over his X account. These photos often show the model with other male celebrities, insinuating she had an intimate relationship with them, or depict the model without clothing in suggestive poses and scenarios. It’s clear that Danis is trying to get a rise out of Logan before fight night… and he says that his efforts might be taking a toll on his rival’s relationship. Dillon Danis says his posts have caused trouble in Logan & Nina’s relationship In an August 16 episode of the FULL SEND Podcast, Danis claimed that there’s “trouble in paradise” between Logan and his fiance, hinting that his work on X, formerly known as Twitter, is partly to blame. “Yeah, it’s bad,” Dillons said after being asked what he’s heard from the couple in light of his recent posts. “It’s, you know, trouble in paradise [kind of thing].” However, Danis claimed that he “can’t” talk about it in full due to DAZN, who claims have “put a trap” on him. “There’s definitely trouble in paradise,” he added. (Topic begins at 7:30) Thus far, Logan has not made a public statement regarding Danis’s posts — but he did challenge Conor McGregor to a $1 million bet that he’d be the one walking away with the victory on October 14.

  • Dillon Danis claims KSI fight will make him more money than “any UFC champion” – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims KSI fight will make him more money than “any UFC champion” Instagram: DillondanisFormer MMA rookie turned internet trash talker Dillon Danis has claimed that his upcoming fight purse for the KSI bout will earn him a bigger payday than any current UFC champion. While Danis holds two wins in professional MMA, the former competitor, best known as one of Conor McGregor’s training partners, has since turned his sights to the influencer boxing realm. Having been out of active competition since 2019 as a result of knee injuries, Danis is set to make his return to combat sports on January 14, 2023 when he faces British YouTuber KSI in a boxing match. Given this upcoming bout serves as the main event in the OVO Arena, there’s sure to be plenty of attention on his return. Seemingly such a great spotlight, in fact, that it could be the biggest payday of Danis’ career. No exact amount was specified, but in a recent interview on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour, he teased it would be the “biggest bag of anybody in MMA. I’m making more than any UFC champion right now.” With McGregor currently out of the picture due to injuries and former Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya now without a strap, Danis claimed his payment for the KSI fight puts him ahead of all other stars in the leading MMA promotion. Just how much he’s getting to fly over to the UK and clash with one of the biggest names on YouTube today, remains unclear. Though Danis further teased that once sponsorships are factored in, he could be earning “seven figures” for his troubles. If his words can be taken at face value, this would likely mean KSI’s payday is also in the seven-figure realm, especially considering his star power in the British market. We’ll have to wait and see how the fight plays out on January 14, but win or lose, it appears Danis has a considerable amount of money on the way.

  • Dillon Danis claims Joe Rogan won’t invite him on JRE Podcast despite praise – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims Joe Rogan won’t invite him on JRE Podcast despite praise YouTube: FLAGRANT/Joe Rogan ExperienceDillon Danis said it’s “messed up” that Joe Rogan won’t have him on the JRE Podcast despite the UFC commentator praising him for being a “great” troll. Getting an invite to join Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan Experience can be a pretty difficult process. Rogan fields requests from his producers and will only choose to invite someone if what they’re pitching sounds interesting to him. Of course, he has his friends on quite regularly as well, with the likes of Brendan Schaub, Joey Diaz, Shane Gillis, and Bert Kreischer constantly appearing on the show. One person he has yet to have on, though, is Dillon Danis. With the former UFC fighter preparing to fight Logan Paul on October 14, it may have made sense to have him on – especially given that Rogan called him a “great” troll in reference to what he’s been doing to sell the fight. Dillon Danis says it’s “messed up” Joe Rogan won’t have him on JRE show It was something that came up during Danis’ appearance on the October 4 episode of Andrew Schulz’s FLAGRANT podcast, as the pair discussed Rogan giving Dillon a shoutout recently. “Me and Joe are really close, you know, and then he doesn’t have me on – that’s messed up,” Danis said about not getting an invite. “He did give me eight tickets, front row, to his show at MSG though.” Schulz added that it had to “feel good” that he’d gotten some praise from Rogan anyway. “Felt that,” Danis added before they quickly changed topics. Timestamp of 1:54:10 A future appearance hasn’t been ruled out, but if you’re counting on it happening any time soon, that probably won’t be the case. Danis is in the UK for the aforementioned October 14 fight with Logan Paul, but if he picks up a win, who knows, it could be the perfect celebration.

  • Dillon Danis claims Jake Paul is “informant” on Logan for him – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims Jake Paul is “informant” on Logan for him YouTube: TheMacLife, Jake PaulDillon Danis has claimed that Jake Paul is an “informant” on his brother Logan as he continues his trash talk for the upcoming fight between the two. For years, Dillon Danis and the Paul brothers have been going back and forth on social media about a fight between him and at least one of them. It always seemed that Logan would be the one to trade blows with him, and that finally appears to be the case. After a few years, and rumored fight dates, the long-time rivals will be standing across the ring from each other come October 14. They’re fighting as the co-main event to KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury, and that has only ramped up their trash talk. Danis has certainly been the one leading the charge on that front. He keeps taking personal shots at Logan’s new fiance, Nina Agdal, repeatedly bringing up her dating history. The former MMA star has also claimed he wanted to put up a $400k penalty if he backs out of the fight, but Logan’s camp went for just $100k. Dillon Danis says Jake Paul is one of his “informants” on Logan There have been rumblings that the fight might be in jeopardy as there has been legal troubles between them. Though, that’s not stopped Danis’ quest to own Logan’s head space. After Kick streamer Adin Ross speculated that he must have an informant in Logan’s camp, given all the photos of Nina and her previous partner, Dillon threw out two names. “My informants are Mike Majlak & Jake Paul,” he said. Naturally, he didn’t expand on that, but claimed that Logan has tried to get him banned from Twitter/X for “targeted harassment” over the photos he keeps posting. During an appearance on the FULL SEND Podcast, Danis also suggested that Logan has been unable to train since he started posting the photos and that he’s winning the mind games as he believes Logan has been arguing with his fiance over it.

  • Dillon Danis claims he’s appealing DQ decision in Logan Paul fight – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims he’s appealing DQ decision in Logan Paul fight DAZNContinuing his tradition of doing more damage outside the ring than in it, Dillon Danis has announced plans to appeal his DQ loss to Logan Paul. Disappointment seems to be the general consensus after the results for The Prime Card made their way to the public. Tommy Fury claimed victory over KSI via unanimous decision and Dillon Danis was dealt a disqualification against Logan Paul. In what seemed an obvious loss despite the DQ, Danis took to Twitter claiming to have won the overall war. If the prize for victory is a $100K My.Club deal, he certainly did. Continuing his post-match Twitter tirade, Danis has claimed that he’ll be appealing the DQ decision to “the commission”. Presumably, Danis is referring to the Professional Boxing Association which sanctioned the card. Responding to a Tweet from IFN Boxing that questioned whether Logan Paul should have been disqualified when his security entered the ring, Danis announced his decision. The former MMA fighter accused Paul of “multiple offenses” and cited that as his reason for the appeal. Users on Twitter have questioned the legitimacy of an appeal from Danis given his security team also entered the ring. “Is that not Dillon’s security coming in at the same time?” one user asked. They directed viewers’ attention to the bottom right of the clip shared by IFN Boxing where it does appear that Danis’ team stepped within the ropes. Others called out Danis’ multiple takedown attempts during a boxing match which, for the uninitiated, are considered illegal. “You started wrestling him in the middle of a boxing match and now you’re complaining about rule violations,” one incredulous user put forth. The match between Danis and Paul was intended to be the culmination of a protracted feud between the two. Danis’ “harassment” of Paul’s fiance Nina Agdal resulted in a restraining order and lawsuit. It appears the feud isn’t over now that Danis claims to be appealing his disqualification. However, Danis also made claims that he would “starch” Logan Paul, so maybe don’t hold your breath for this one.

  • Dillon Danis claims he has another “nuclear” photo of Logan Paul’s fiancée – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis claims he has another “nuclear” photo of Logan Paul’s fiancée Misfits BoxingUFC star Dillon Danis has claimed he has his hands on another “nuclear” photo of Logan Paul’s fiancée Nina Adgal. Logan Paul and Dillon Danis are slated to touch gloves come October 14, where on the same night KSI and Tommy Fury will also step into the ring. Dubbed the ‘Prime Card’, fans are pumped for what is expected to be an action-packed night — featuring a staggering total of seven title fights on the card. All sides have certainly played their part in promoting the card, and in the case of Logan and Dillon, the rivalry has only heated up since the announcement as the UFC star takes aim at his opponent’s newly engaged fiancée. In the battle to get his opponent’s head, the former MMA fighter has continuously shared photos of Logans’s fiance Nina Agdal with other men. Previously, Danis claimed he’s in possession of a photo so obscene that releasing it to the public would cancel the fight and maybe even land him in jail. Danis reveals he has another “nuclear” photo of Nina Adgal On August 27, Dillon claimed he has another “nuclear” photo that could possibly even be worse than the other he teased. “I just got another absolute nuke of a pic of Nina this one might be worse than the other one wow this girl is actually wild,” he wrote, before urging the YouTuber to call off the wedding. “Logan on a man level you need to call this marriage off now,” he said. In another post, Danis said he wants to release the photos in order to “save” his opponent from his fiancée, but explained the fight would be canceled and he’d be sued. “At this point, I might just need to release these images on a human level to save Logan from her,” he wrote. If you guys only know how nasty this chick really is, it’s actually insane. But if I do, the fight will be called off and I’ll be sued. Hard choice.” Within hours of release, the YouTubers and their opponents sold out the entire AO Arena in Manchester, UK — the largest indoor arena in the country.

  • Dillon Danis caught in cocktail bar before Logan Paul fight – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis caught in cocktail bar before Logan Paul fight Eleanor HoughtonDillon Danis has been spotted in a cocktail bar the night before his highly-anticipated fight with Logan Paul. After months of back and forth, Dillon Danis is finally set to step into the ring with Logan Paul on October 14, where they’ll touch gloves and settle their beef once and for all. The feud between the two has majorly heated up over the past couple of months, where since the fight was announced Danis has repeatedly fired shots at Logan’s fiance Nina Adgal. The former UFC star has shared photos of his opponent’s fiance across social media, to where the Danish model has hit back with a restraining order and a lawsuit. Now that fight week is here, where the two will go blow for blow on October 14 in the sold-out AO Arena in Manchester, things have only heated up even further. Ahead of their highly-anticipated clash in the ring, Logan Paul and Dillon Danis went toe-to-toe for a face-off, and chaos quickly ensued after Danis threw his microphone at Logan’s face, leaving him bleeding. Dillon Danis caught in bar before fighting Logan Paul It appears that Dillon Danis is more confident than ever, as the MMA fighter was seen in a bar before fight night. According to Twitter/X user ‘tom_chels’, the former UFC star was in Cloud 23, a cocktail bar in Manchester, at roughly one in the morning before his fight against Logan Paul. Danis was filmed sitting with friends and other female accomplices in front of a tray of Tequila. Although, according to the original poster, the 30-year-old was drinking non-alcoholic beverages. “Can confirm it was non-alcoholic,” they wrote. “He was on the non-alcoholic beer.” Regardless, Danis is still expected to step into the ring on October 14. Not only that, we’ll also be seeing KSI face off against Tommy Fury on the exciting Prime Card.

  • Dillon Danis calls out “juice head” Logan Paul after he posts steroid test – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis calls out “juice head” Logan Paul after he posts steroid test Twitter: dillondanis / Instagram: loganpaulLogan Paul took to Twitter to publish the results of his Steroid Test for The Prime Card. Despite testing negative, Dillon Danis has doubled down on his accusations that Paul took PEDs for the fight. The Logan Paul VS Dillon Danis saga just won’t seem to end. The two clashed in The Prime Card after a protracted feud and despite Paul’s victory on fight night, the two are still beefing. Danis recently appealed his disqualification in their match which Paul slammed as a “desperate” move. Danis’ next move was to accuse Paul of cheating on his fiance Nina Agdal. That’s not the only cheating Danis claims Paul has done though. Paul recently posted the results of his VADA steroid test but Danis is not convinced by the negative result. Paul took to Twitter with a joke-laden video where he flashed the negative result but did claim something had helped his performance. “I wanna confess, I have been taking a lot of Prime Energy and putting it in my mouth,” Paul quipped. Notably, Prime Energy is not on the banned substances list of any anti-doping authority. Danis’ accusations have nothing to do with Prime however and in a quote Tweet responding to Paul’s video, he cast aspersions on the testing process. “The testing was a joke, literally,” Danis wrote. “Piss test after (the) fight, famously easy to beat.” Danis even went as far to disparage the person performing the tests claiming the “old man in the room wasn’t even paying attention”. Danis asserts that he is positive that Logan Paul was using performance-enhancing drugs in the lead-up to their bout. “You’re a juicehead, and you proved that with the way the testing was done,” he claimed. The results of Danis’ DQ appeal have yet to be finalized and no official motion has been made regarding his accusations of steroid use by Paul. Given his reputation for “trolling”, it’s hard to know whether he is making the claims legitimately. Users in the comments of Danis’ response don’t seem to be taking the accusations very seriously. He was met with the usual barrage of recycled memes that have been a staple of his comments sections since his DQ loss.

  • Dillon Danis calls out “fraud” Jake Paul for MMA fight – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis calls out “fraud” Jake Paul for MMA fight Instagram: jakepaul / Twitter: dillondanisDillon Danis has called out Jake Paul for an MMA fight as he’s labeled the YouTuber-turned-boxer a “fraud” ahead of his return to the boxing ring. For years, Dillon Danis has clashed with the Paul brothers – Jake and Logan – online. However, things went up a notch when he and Logan actually agreed to fight inside the boxing ring. Logan, comfortably, won that contest but ended up with a victory via disqualification after Danis’ outburst at the end of the fight prompted security to hop into the ring. The former UFC fighter has appealed that decision, claiming that the Impaulsive host should have been disqualified himself for having security jump into the ring. Despite the loss, Danis has claimed that he’s “not done” with Logan or his finacee, Nina Adgdal, as they’re still locked in a legal battle. Dillon Danis calls out Jake Paul for MMA fight It also appears as if he’s not down with Jake Paul either, as he’s thrown his hat into the ring – well, cage – in a bid to try and meet him in an MMA clash. “What about Logan? You’re a fraud; you guys agree and never follow through. I’m a free agent now. Let’s fight in MMA and see how much of a man you really are,” he tweeted in response to Jake’s post about trying to set up an MMA fight with Nate Diaz. After he beat Diaz in August, there were rumors that Jake and the former UFC star would meet inside the PFL’s SuperFights division, but Nate has been hesitant to get involved with them. Danis has, previously, had similar about not wanting to fight for PFL but he has been released by Bellator, so there’s at least one hurdle overcome. He’s not the only one who’s called Jake out recently, however. Former pro boxer and Olympic medalist Anthony Ogogo claimed he’d step up and fight the YouTuber in the near future too. So, we’ll have to wait and see if anything happens.

  • Dillon Danis bets $1 million on future fight vs “embarrassing” Logan Paul – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis bets $1 million on future fight vs “embarrassing” Logan Paul Dillon Danis, Logan Paul – InstagramYouTube star Logan Paul threw down in a sparring match against the MMA’s Paulo Costa, even suffering a possible knockout — but one huge name in the fighting world wasn’t impressed by the social media celeb’s skills. Dillon Danis, a jiu-jitsu blackbelt and professional MMA fighter, called out Logan Paul in a series of heated social media posts after sparring footage of his session with Brazilian UFC competitors Paulo Costa went viral on Instagram. In the footage, Paul appeared to receive a sound knockout from Costa, and struggled against his opponent during a grappling session on the mat. Needless to say, Danis wasn’t pleased with Paul’s efforts against the Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter, despite his wrestling pedigree from high school sports. “Embarrassing that Paulo Costa would even stage this with Logan Paul,” Danis wrote in a Twitter post, including a video of their sparring session. embarrassing that Paulo Costa would even stage this with Logan Paul 🤦♂️ 🤡 pic.twitter.com/n58h9pcFXd — Dillon Danis (@dillondanis) March 10, 2020 “This is honestly embarrassing for our sport,” he continued in a separate Twitter post. “I think it’s time to retire Paulo Costa.” https://twitter.com/dillondanis/status/1237203613061197827?s=20 That’s not all: in addition to his scathing review of both Paul and Costa’s performances, Danis offered up a whopping $1 million on a potential future fight with the YouTuber. “I’ll put $1 million of my own money on the line,” he said in an Instagram comment. (Post courtesy of @thebreadbatch via Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9j6L4jgrIk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Logan has since responded to Danis’s callout, throwing an equal measure of shade his way via Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9kVujbAluz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link This wouldn’t be the first time the MMA pro has had beef with the Paul family, either: in fact, Danis and Jake stirred up a small feud in late 2018, which appeared to be settled after the two were seen in a nightclub together just a month later. With Logan historically vying for a chance at proving his worth in the octagon — even petitioning UFC president Dana White to let him fight in the sport — there’s no telling if he’ll actually accept Danis’ challenge, or if their fight will ever even come to fruitio at all. It seems that the YouTube fighting scene has taken a sudden shift, as KSI’s possible match against Jake Paul is postponed until 2021, due to the Brit currently being busy with his music career. As for Logan, his potential fight with NFL star Antonio Brown doesn’t look like it’s going to happen after all, even though their highly-publicized beef still hasn’t come to a proper conclusion.

  • Dillon Danis begs DAZN “send the contract” for Logan Paul match – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis begs DAZN “send the contract” for Logan Paul match YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, TheMacLifeDillon Danis is urging DAZN to send him a contract to fight YouTube star Logan Paul after the influencer called him out on an episode of the ‘Flagrant’ podcast. Logan Paul is one of a few creators credited with sparking the influencer boxing trend. After getting his start on Vine, Paul moved on to YouTube, where he found himself facing off with former rival KSI twice in the boxing ring. Since then, he’s taken on Floyd Mayweather in a viral exhibition match and scored a contract with the WWE… and he’s got another big fight up his sleeve, if things pan out accordingly. On June 20, 2022, Paul notably called out mixed martial artist Dillon Danis for a fight on comedian Andrew Schulz’s ‘Flagrant’ podcast. Danis has been involved with the Paul bros before — most notably Jake Paul, who tossed a few water balloons at the fighter in years past for an unexpected drive-by taunt. “You’re up next, Dillon Danis,” Logan challenged. “…you haven’t fought in three years. There are puppies in Sarah McLoughlin commercials with more cage time than you!” That’s not all; Paul even boasted he would take on Danis in a street brawl, in spite of the opposition’s jiu-jitsu capabilities. Well, it seems that Danis has taken notice of Paul’s taunting and had a message for him, courtesy of DAZN, who posted the news to Instagram. “He wanted it for years,” he said of the issue. “Now I’m healthy and ready to go. Just send me the contract.” Paul responded to his statement straightaway, claiming he’d been asking for a contract “for the last three weeks.” While it’s unclear when — or if — we’ll ever see these two face off, it could be a matter of MMA vs boxing. Paul notably expressed a desire to sign in the UFC at the beginning of his boxing career in 2018, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to say this might be his debut in the octagon if things come to fruition. For now, fans are keeping their eyes on little bro Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing match against Hasim Rahman Jr on August 6.

    Dillon Danis “banned” on Instagram amid feud with Logan Paul & Nina Agdal Instagram/DillonDanisDillon Danis says he is “banned” on Instagram amid his ongoing feud with Logan Paul and lawsuit from Nina Agdal, Logan’s fiancée. Over the last few weeks, Dillon Danis and Logan Paul have been going neck and neck as they get ready for their fight on October 14, 2023. Dillon Danis has been posting hundreds of photos of Logan’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, prompting her to serve the MMA fighter with a lawsuit and restraining order. Amid all the drama, Danis has revealed on Twitter/X that he’s been “banned” on Instagram. Dillon Danis says he’s banned on Instagram In a post on his X account on September 21, 2023, Danis shared a screenshot of an error he recieved on Instagram. “Now im banned on Instagram wtf is going on,” he said. In the picture, you can see an error message that says: “We restrict certain activity to protect our community. Based on your use, this action will be unavailable for you until 2023-10-06.” There are a variety of things that could cause the error to come up, and as of writing Danis’ Instagram page is still available for viewing so he’s not “banned” in the traditional sense. It’s possible that Dillon will be able to use the platform without any issue in a few days. We’re sure he’ll update fans when he has access to his account again, but in the meantime, you can head over to our Entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

  • Dillon Danis appeals decision of controversial Logan Paul bout – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis appeals decision of controversial Logan Paul bout Instagram: DillonDanisDillon Danis has made an official appeal to the PBA after losing to Logan Paul via disqualification on the Prime Card. After months of anticipation, Logan Paul and Dillon Danis finally put on their gloves and went blow-for-blow in the ring on October 14. It’s fair to say the fight ended in chaos, where after going six rounds Danis attempted to take Logan Paul in a headlock while in a clinch and drag him to the canvas in the final seconds of the round. From then, an outright brawl occurred in the ring, as security from both camps rushed to help their fighter. Ultimately, it would then be ‘The Maverick’ Logan Paul who would take the win as his opponent was disqualified. Now, after insisting that he’s claimed a victory of his own, Danis has sent an official appeal to the PBA, the governing body that oversaw the fight. Dillon Danis formally appeals Logan Paul decision “Formal appeal made by @dillondanis,” the PBA wrote in a tweet. Similarly, KSI has also made a formal appeal to overturn his loss to Tommy Fury on October 20. “JJ has instructed a King’s Counsel who advised the PBA yesterday that he would be appealing the result of the fight,” his manager Mams Taylor wrote on Twitter/X. “For obvious reasons, we will not get into the specifics of the appeal publicly and allow the process to play out in accordance with PBA rules.” Not only that, but several other Prime Card fighters have made appeals. According to the PBA, Chase DeMoor is appealing his loss to Tempo Arts, who took home the Misfits Heavyweight title. Furthermore, Alex Wassabi is appealing his draw with Nichlmao in a tag-team match, while Alexia Grace appeals her loss to Astrid Wett by unanimous decision.

  • Dillon Danis and Logan Paul agree to rematch in MMA, but there’s a catch – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis and Logan Paul agree to rematch in MMA, but there’s a catch YouTube: DAZN BoxingDillon Danis and Logan Paul shook hands on an MMA rematch — but there’s a catch, and it all depends on what happens on fight night. Dillon Danis and Logan Paul are two of the internet’s biggest rivals right now, and not without reason. The mixed martial artist and YouTuber are set to touch gloves in the boxing ring on October 14 after years of beefing with each other online. However, their feud has heated up in a massive way over the past several weeks as Danis has been incessantly posting about Paul’s fiance, model Nina Agdal, online. Now, the stakes are higher than ever — and it looks like lucky fans might get a rematch if things go according to plan. Logan Paul offers MMA rematch if Dillon Danis shows up to October fight The two fighters met up for a face-to-face hosted by DAZN, which is set to be released very soon. In a teaser clip of the faceoff, Logan Paul made Danis an offer: “If you show up to this fight, October 14, I will rematch you in MMA.” Danis reached forward and the two shook hands on it. It looks like we might be seeing Paul’s long-awaited foray into the Octagon if everything goes smoothly next month. However, that’s the rub. There’s been plenty of chatter from Paul and KSI that Danis might not actually show up come fight night — something that actually happened with his proposed fight against KSI earlier this year. Initially, KSI was supposed to take on Danis for a boxing match on January 14. However, Danis pulled out of the bout unexpectedly at the last minute, leaving him to pick FaZe Temperrr as his opponent instead. Now, it’s all on Danis to show up and show out on fight night come October 14. If he does, we’ll see these two face off yet again in a bombastic influencer MMA match… something Paul’s been training for for some time.

  • Dillon Danis accuses Logan Paul of cheating after YouTuber spotted with mystery girl – Dexerto

    Dillon Danis accuses Logan Paul of cheating after YouTuber spotted with mystery girl Twitter: dillondanis / YouTube: Logan PaulDillon Danis has accused Logan Paul of cheating on his fiance, Nina Agdal, after he was spotted with another woman in a viral photo… but Mike Majlak hit back with the receipts. It’s been over two weeks since Logan Paul and Dillon Danis met in the boxing ring to finally put an end to their famous online feud that took over social media for months. Their spat was preceded by Paul’s engagement to Danish model Nina Agdal — the perfect fuel for Danis, who used their relationship as a way to gouge his opponent by constantly posting about Agdal on Twitter/X. Paul has adamantly defended his fiance at every turn, even admitting that choosing Danis as an opponent was a “mistake” due to the way he went after her on social media. However, despite their fight having ended over two weeks ago, Danis is still taking aim at Paul online… and his latest accusation is turning heads. Dillon Danis accuses Logan Paul of cheating on fiance On October 24, Danis posted a picture showing Logan Paul with a brunette woman entering a restaurant. Judging by the angle of the photo, it appears that whoever took it was trying to catch Logan on the sly. At first, it was unclear who the woman in the photo was, but she’s certainly not Nina, who has generally always rocked her head of blonde hair throughout her career. “That doesn’t look like Nina buddy, thought she was the love of your life??” Danis captioned the photo. However, Mike Majlak was quick to put the rumors to rest, claiming that the gal in the photo was his own girlfriend. The IMPAULSIVE co-host shot back at Danis in a biting tweet, writing: “And even worse with MY girlfriend, when I went to the bathroom for 30 seconds. I am MAD at Logan right now.” and even worse with MY girlfriend when i went to the bathroom for 30 seconds. i am MAD at Logan rn 😡😡😡 — Mike Majlak (@mikemajlak) October 24, 2023 Currently, Majlak is seeing Sara Maughan, and the two have appeared in multiple social media posts together on Instagram. It’s clear that he wasn’t fazed by the rumors, writing in another tweet: “Lmfao this sh*t is all so comedy at this point. Can’t even stand in the same room as a girl.” For now, it looks like things are getting a bit one-sided in Danis’s ongoing feud with Paul… but the YouTuber made sure to gloat about getting Danis fired from Bellator during his return to WWE Raw the day prior to Danis’s latest claim.

  • Dillion Danis pulls out of KSI fight at the last minute – here’s what happens next – Dexerto

    Dillion Danis pulls out of KSI fight at the last minute – here’s what happens next Instagram: DillonDanisMisfits Boxing has just revealed Dillon Danis has pulled out of his upcoming fight against KSI just 10 days before the event was set to take place. First announced in November 2022, Dillon Danis was set to go up against KSI on the January 14 Series 4 card in London. Since then, Danis has boasted about how much money he could make during the bout that would have potentially left him with a bald head. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon, as Misfits Boxing just confirmed Danis has pulled out of the upcoming match against KSI. Misfits confirms Dillon Danis pulled out of fight On January 4, 2023, Misfits Boxing tweeted a video of KSI’s manager Mams Taylor explaining the situation. “I got a phone call saying Danis is pulling out of the fight,” he explained. “The real reason from what they’ve said to me is that he’s underprepared.” On December 29, Mams revealed that there was a dispute between the fighters over the weight they had agreed to fight at and that Danis claimed they inserted the weight clause close to the event as a way to “handicap” him. The company hasn’t announced a replacement fighter at the time of writing, but Joe Fournier has gone on record in the past stating that he would be willing to go up against KSI during the event. It doesn’t seem to be an issue either way, as KSI quickly made it clear that he’s still fighting on January 14.

  • Dillard’s customer starts working the register because cashier is too slow – Dexerto

    Dillard’s customer starts working the register because cashier is too slow TIKTOK: shaunyamanusA woman went viral on TikTok after taking over a register at a Dillard’s department store because the cashier was too slow. Content creator Shaunya Manus (shaunyamanus) posted a since-deleted video showing several pictures of her standing next to the cashier while typing something on the register. “When you don’t have time to wait for the cashier… so you step in and type for her,” she wrote in a text overlay of the clip, which amassed almost 500,000 views. In the comments, some TikTok users speculated that Shaunya worked the register to help the cashier “spell” something. “Oh goodness what couldn’t we spell this time,” one user wrote. “I have had to help so many Walgreen cashiers this way too,” another added. In a follow-up, the TikToker said that while she was trying to open a Dillard’s department store credit card, the cashier was struggling to spell her name due to a language barrier. To speed things up, Shaunya offered to fill out the application herself. “I said ‘Do you want me to do it?’ and she said ‘Sure!’” the TikToker recalled. “She was super awesome, it was just a communication barrier.” Viewers were divided about the practice of accessing cash registers as a customer, with some condemning it. “Please don’t make this a habit, our store used to prohibit things like that and we could get in trouble for letting customers behind the counter,” one commented. “No patience at all…you don’t know if the clerk was on lunch, or bathroom break…smh,” another wrote. Others, however, appreciated and thanked Shaunya for helping out. “Thank you for being so patient & nice to minimum wage workers,” one wrote. “That’s super sweet of you to help her out,” another added. Back in September, a Chipotle customer went viral on TikTok after taking over the register to get food faster.

    TikToker DigitalPrincxss slammed after charging fans for child neglect arrest statement TikTok: digitalprincxssTikToker Marissa ‘DigitalPrincxss’ Cloutier is being criticized for announcing she’ll release a statement presumed to be about her child neglect case on a paid subscription service. DigitalPrincxss is a TikToker, YouTuber, and streamer who has garnered a substantial following online, with over 2.3 million followers on her TikTok account alone. Back in August, the influencer came under fire after a mugshot emerged online, along with documents that appeared to show she had been arrested after leaving her child at home alone. https://twitter.com/animetxtties/status/1431166999548284929 She was released the same day, and in response to the situation wrote: “Hi guys I just wanted to come on here and say I do see your comments, I do see your concerns. I am not trying to hide or avoid the situation. For those of you who know how legal stuff works legally, I am only allowed to say so much regarding it.” Read More: What is the Scream Cult on TikTok? – Now, Cloutier appears to be making a full statement on the situation. On October 22 she tweeted: “In less than 24 hours I’ll be releasing my statement (10/22 at 8pmET).” To the dismay of many followers, though, she added that the statement will be released on OnlyFans, meaning that you have to become a paid subscriber to hear it. Her tweet was immediately met with a wave of backlash, with one user saying, “we’re not about to support or give money to someone who would rather party than be a mom.” Can someone just release the video once it’s out 😂😂😂😂 we’re not about to support or give money to someone who would rather party then be a mom 🥴 — StrawberryStonedCake (@stonedberryy) October 22, 2021 Another wrote: “Are you trying to profit off of the fact that you left your 4-year-old son home alone?

Some are keen to see what Courtier will say in her statement, if it really is about the child neglect case, but how many pay for a subscription just to watch it remains to be seen.

Fans first started to get suspicious when Danielle Cohn posted a TikTok of the two dancing on February 13. Although it just seemed like two friends hanging out, things then escalated when Montoya’s boyfriend, Rene Alegria, made his feelings known about the two exes getting close, simply commenting ‘…’ on their video. However, following drama page TikTok Room’s reportage of this Diego claimed in a comment that Desiree was, in fact, single and not dating anyone. Unfortunately, if that was the case, Alegria didn’t get the memo, as he revealed in an Instagram Live that as far as he was concerned, he was dating Desiree. “Yeah we’re dating, I ain’t trying to make a big deal out of it,” he said. “I’m gonna let her handle this situation, and if she doesn’t that’s cool – either way, I’m still with her.” Things then became a little more messy after Martir uploaded a video of him lip-syncing to Desiree while she laid on top of him and plucked his eyebrows. She also appeared to post a topless picture of her ex to her Instagram story. Unsurprisingly, this led to Rene losing his cool, as he commented saying “I’m finna whoop Diego” before calling him a “little kid” on his Instagram story. View this post on Instagram Empathizing with Alegria, many fans felt that Martir was crossing boundaries with his ex. One Instagram user asked: “Isn’t that basically cheating?” while another said: “And the fact that DIEGO is okay with her laying on him makes me sick to my stomach.” Several other fans branded Diego and Montoya “disrespectful” in Instagram comments. Read More: Can you see who shared your TikTok? – Responding to this criticism, Diego said in an Instagram comment: “How am I being problematic? I’m going for Desiree’s birthday, ya’ll mad weird. The kid [Rene] can like or dislike me I don’t care, it’s his opinion.” Hinting at a potential fight between the two, Martir later posted to his story that he’d “be in Houston [where Alegria lives] in a few days.” Meanwhile, Desiree is yet to comment publicly on the situation and clarify her relationship status.

  • Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards 2018 – Nominees, dates and info – Dexerto

    Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards 2018 – Nominees, dates and info The biggest (and probably only) award show for celebrating the biggest liars and storytellers on social media is upon us, as the third annual ‘Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards’ (DHOTYA) has been announced. As the name suggests, these awards find the best examples of things typically shared on social media that most certainly ‘didn’t happen’. You may recognize some of the trademarks, such as a very young child suddenly having an epiphany on world politics, or a classic ‘I had the last laugh’ tale. Here’s a simple example of one which is up for the awards: LadBible “I feel so much more can be achieved on social media than what it’s used for today and wanted to use DHOTYA as a way to push boundaries, create unique content and do something positive.” As for what qualifies as a ‘didn’t happen moment’, Barnes said: “most people usually tell these lies to push a political agenda of some kind, whether it’s their views on Brexit, other politics, sexism, etc.” He also mentions the common use of children in the stories, which makes for an even better ‘didn’t happen’ candidate, “almost like ‘if my kids can see it then you all should’.” And it’s not just for laughs, as the awards are raising money for charity, aiming for a goal of £10,000 for homeless charity ‘Shelter’. If you’ve enjoyed our content over the last 12 months and are looking forward to the awards, please take the time to read our plans to raise £10k for the homeless to @Shelter by the end of the awards!https://t.co/P3YgpcTOiv Donate £2 by texting “”DHOT94 £2″” to 70070 — Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) December 18, 2018 The winners will be chosen over December 28-30, and the process has already started with the announcement of groups.

  • Did Yung Gravy and Sheri Easterling break up? – Dexerto

    Did Yung Gravy and Sheri Easterling break up? YouTube: Zach Sang Show / Instagram: sherinicoleTwo months after their public smooch at the VMAs, rapper Yung Gravy and TikTok-famous mom Sheri Easterling may have called their short-lived relationship quits, according to a source. TikTok star Addison Rae is keeping a wide berth from her family after her dad, Monty Lopez, got into a public feud with her mom, Sheri Easterling (his ex-wife). Things kicked off after fans caught Lopez allegedly cheating on Easterling with a younger woman over the summer. In the fallout, Sheri got caught up in an unexpected romance with American rapper Yung Gravy, who came to her rescue in a highly-public flirtation that caught the internet’s attention. Their relationship sparked Lopez’s ire, who challenged Gravy to a boxing match to settle the score. Gravy notably refused the bout and laid it on even thicker when he brought Easterling along as his plus-one to the 2022 VMAs. That’s not all; he even gave Sheri a smooch on the red carpet, which apparently prompted Lopez to make a diss track on his rival… but it’s looking like this particular chapter in the Rae family saga is coming to a close. Source claims Sheri Easterling and Yung Gravy romance wasn’t “serious” According to a source, as told in a statement to E! Online, Easterling and Gravy’s summer romance wasn’t exactly legit. Instead, the source says it was likely a stunt to “get people talking.” “It was very short-lived and they wanted to get people talking,” a source close to Sheri told E! News. “Sheri definitely was interested in him and loved the attention, but they both knew it wasn’t going to be anything serious.” Although Gravy expressed sympathy for Easterling’s predicament, he notably said they were just “friends.” “We associate,” he said of his first date with Easterling. “She was sweet, man. We had a good time.” Gravy has also apparently moved on to another internet-famous mother who has similarly been scorned by her husband — Ariel Fulmer, whose husband, Ned Fulmer, sparked outrage on social media after admitting he cheated on his wife with a workplace associate.

  • Did WhistlinDiesel get arrested? Viral TikTok sparks rumors – Dexerto

    Did WhistlinDiesel get arrested? Viral TikTok sparks rumors YouTube: WhistlinDieselA TikTok video from Keller Moore showing WhistlinDiesel in handcuffs while being walked to the back of a police car has sparked rumors that the YouTuber had gotten arrested, but some fans think it may have been a stunt. With nearly a decade of videos uploaded, WhistlinDiesel has become one of the premier automotive YouTubers on the platform with over four million subscribers. His high-speed content has gotten him in trouble in the past as well, as he is facing jail time from a jet-ski incident back in June 2022. On October 16, a TikTok video from Keller Moore showed WhistlinDiesel in handcuffs — making fans believe that he had gotten arrested. However, some fans aren’t quite sure that it really happened. Did WhistlinDiesel get arrested? On October 16, TikToker Keller Moore uploaded a video showing that he was out filming a video with WhistinDiesel and Justin_ACW in Georgia, which is a completely normal thing for that group of creators. His next two videos show all three members of the group in handcuffs and getting placed into the back of a police car, with claims that they got arrested. The first video shows one of the guys sitting in the car while WhistlinDiesel records the incident on his phone. The second video, captioned “Bro, they got WhistlinDiesel too,” shows Justin and Whistlin’ in handcuffs and being escorted to the back of another police car. This video quickly went viral, with thousands of fans taking to the comments thinking that the YouTuber had actually gotten arrested. However, others weren’t so quick to believe it was real. “Literally a couple of videos before the same cops were sitting in the parking lot. Tell me this is staged without telling me it’s staged. All for the clicks,” one replied. Another replied: “Looks totally stagged. One cop, no cage, everyone clearly making vids.” Not to mention, both Whistlin and Justin_ACW have posted on their Instagram profiles since they were allegedly arrested. While it’s completely possible they just spent the night in the local county jail, it seems unlikely that they were charged. It’s near impossible to know for sure at the moment, so we’ll have to wait until WhistlinDiesel or one of the others in the group confirm or deny the rumors.

  • Did Tyler1 secretly propose to longtime girlfriend Macaiyla in Hawaii? – Dexerto

    Did Tyler1 secretly propose to longtime girlfriend Macaiyla in Hawaii? Macaiyla / PixabayLeague of Legends streamer Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp may have secretly proposed to his girlfriend while on vacation in Hawaii, according to Macaiyla on her return to Twitch. Divisive Twitch personality Tyler1 took some time away from streaming to treat his girlfriend of three years to a sunny getaway at Turtle Bay in Oahu, before jetting back to Detroit to make a hilarious appearance at the League of Legends Championship Series finals. Apparently, before he partnered with Riot Games for the comedic mid-game segment, however, Tyler1 popped the question to Macaiyla. The only problem is, he may not have been able to afford an engagement ring. “Oh yeah, Tyler proposed, we’re married,” said Macaiyla when asked what the couple did in Hawaii. “Me and T! After three years of being together we’re married.” Read more: Tana Mongeau talks Jake cheating rumors – She added that her boyfriend, who returned to streaming League of Legends on Twitch after being unbanned at the beginning of 2018, didn’t have enough money for a ring: “He didn’t get me a ring. He doesn’t have enough money right now, but we got engaged in Hawaii.” Needless to say her Twitch chat, most of whom tune in to interact with her about Tyler, exploded with jokes and questions. One told Macaiyla her boyfriend was making a big mistake, which caused her to explode in a rant about the perfect girlfriend. “What do you mean big mistake?” she said. “Why would him marrying me be a big mistake, please go on? He deserves better? Are you out of your mind? No, he doesn’t deserve better.” “The only reason you’re saying this is because you hate my chin” she added. “You don’t want him to date a girl with a big chin, that’s it. You want a hot Asian girl or a girl with big tits that streams in Just Chatting to 4k people or something. No, fuck off, I am his girlfriend.” Macaiyla then immediately rebuked the idea the couple had actually tied the knot, suggesting Tyler may have just got down on one knee: “No, we’re not married.” It seems like Macaiyla may have been baiting her chat about actually marrying Tyler, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t get proposed in Hawaii nonetheless. Whatever the situation, let’s hope one of LoL’s biggest streamers can actually afford a ring if he does pop the question.

  • Did Twitch do better? Streamers speak out after viral campaign against racist hate raids – Dexerto

    Did Twitch do better? Streamers speak out after viral campaign against racist hate raids Pixabay/TwitchThe summer of 2021 saw #TwitchDoBetter trend as the platform came under heavy criticism, after hate raids with racist bots spamming chats and corrupted streams. How have things changed since? Twitch remains the top streaming site in the world. Despite rival YouTube making some big moves and acquiring top talent such as TimTheTatman, Twitch has maintained its position, but it hasn’t come without criticism. In 2021, malicious users were using bots to “hate raid” streamers of colors and overload their chats with offensive language. This eventually led to the #TwitchDoBetter campaign where streamers raised awareness of the problems and the lack of tools to deal with them. Now, a few months later and the dust has settled with Twitch finally offering up so methods for streamers to remain safe, but has it been enough? The fallout of #TwitchDoBetter Streamer RekItRaven, one of the larger voices in the movement, spoke with Dexerto and explained how she felt Twitch handled the situation. “Twitch handled it as quickly as possible, but the tools we’ve recently been given (needing a phone number to chat, parameters for account ages to be able to chat, etc.) were long overdue,” she said. “There have been improvements though, but there are still breakthrough accounts that are able to harass people. That being said, those accounts are fewer and further between and are able to be dealt with easier.” Despite the praise, she still believes that there is a lot more that needs to be done, primarily with their messaging and communication with streamers on the platform. “I still believe that they need to be more aware of how they communicate things,” she noted. “There’s a massive lack of trust in the community in regards to Twitch and how they word things.” ✨Announcement Time✨ I am so honored to be among these amazing recipients for the @StreamElements Creator Diversity program! https://t.co/crxjq91unf — Raven’s Not Here. (@RavenousTales_) November 24, 2021 Other platforms step up While Twitch may not be as communicative, others have stepped up, such as StreamElements. RekItRaven was among 19 others named as recipients of its 2021 Creator Diversity Program. The program is designed to provide content creators in underrepresented groups with streaming equipment, support, and services to optimize their careers and help them grow. “It means that I am able to take steps in this industry that I may not have been afforded because of my race, ethnicity, gender, so on and so forth,” RekItRaven praised the initiative. “And if I’m honest, it’s also validating.” As for how more platforms can handle hate and be more connected with their communities, the streamer recommends they start listening more. “Know that the internet (and therefore streaming platforms) are a reflection of society and they’re only as good as you allow them. If you allow hate to breed, that’s what people will see,” she explained. Let’s hope that Twitch can continue to improve its site and continue to take measures to do away with the abuse taking place on it.

  • Did the Skibidi Toilet creator get arrested? – Dexerto

    Did the Skibidi Toilet creator get arrested? DaFuqBoomSkibidi Toilet creator Alexey Gerasimov, who is also known under his Internet alias DaFuq!?Boom!, has been rumored to have been arrested. But is this true? If you’ve ever done a deep dive into rabbit holes on YouTube, you might have come across the Skibidi Toilet series. The video series was created by Alexey Gerasimov, better known by his YouTube name DaFuq!?Boom! and has become a huge success. As the videos continue to gain hundreds of millions of views, many might wonder who Alexey is and how he got to where he is. A recent rumor has been keeping TikTok on their toes as it was believed that Alexey had been arrested. But is this true? Here’s everything we know. Did the Skibidi Toilet creator get arrested? As of this writing, there isn’t any evidence that supports Alexey getting arrested recently. Even though rumors are suggesting that Alexey was arrested, there doesn’t seem to be a source for where this news came from. One thing that could have been the start of the rumors was a clip published on the platform, showing someone being locked in a vehicle with a cell as a Skibidi Toilet song plays in the background. But as this video was uploaded by TikTok user domiskaulakiai and not Alexey, However, on TikTok, you can find multiple clips about the Skibidi Toilet series and its characters being arrested or interrogated in a holding cell. These videos do not involve the actual Skibidi Toilet series by Alexey. They are mostly fan creations by TikTok users and could be brewing interest on the web. Alexey has yet to comment on the rumor. What is the Skibidi Toilet? The Skibidi Toilet is a YouTube animated series about singing toilet creatures who want to take over the world. It was created by DaFuq!?Boom!, with its very first episode launching in February 2023. The videos don’t really have much of an expressly told story, instead relying on visuals to great effect. There are toilet people, made up of assets from Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. These creatures have infected, or taken over, the human race, and all that’s left are suited individuals with cameras for heads. Each video is a tug-of-war between the two sides. The cameramen figure out how to beat the toilets, and in the next episode, the toilets strike back harder. As you go further, more characters are introduced including speaker-headed people as well as the mysterious TV people that blare the THX sound to kill the enemy.

  • Did Tana Mongeau fire shots at Jake Paul with snake outfit at MTV VMA’s? – Dexerto

    Did Tana Mongeau fire shots at Jake Paul with snake outfit at MTV VMA’s? Twitter: VMAs / Instagram: JakePaulTana Mongeau’s fashion choices at the MTV VMA’s have led many to believe that the 21-year-old was taking shots at Jake Paul after bringing a live snake onto the red carpet. While Mongeau and Paul apparently tied the knot back in July, and following skepticism about the validity of their marriage, rumors have swirled that Jake may have had an affair with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell, something which he has denied. The pair haven’t been seen together since though, and when Mongeau showed up at the MTV VMAs on Monday, August 26 with a live snake wrapped around her waist, many on social media surmised that she was taking a shot at her other half. The American definitely turned heads when she showed up on the red carpet in a yellow-and-gold patterned dress, with matching gloves and thigh-high boots. It was one of her accessories that really grabbed attention though, the live snake that was wrapped around her waist. Fans of the YouTuber, who has her own show on MTV, quickly used the opportunity to bash Jake Paul, with some stating that she hadn’t in fact brought a snake, but rather that it was her husband she was carrying. “Everyone keeps saying Tana Mongeau brought a snake to the VMAs,” wrote one Twitter user. “I’m pretty sure that was her husband wrapped around her.” everyone keeps saying @tanamongeau brought a snake to the #VMAs but i’m pretty sure that was just her husband wrapped around her @jakepaul pic.twitter.com/VDD3Wx4EaY — carly #BB21 (@carlyynicolee_) August 27, 2019 They weren’t the only ones to make jokes at Paul’s expense, with another fan writing: “When they said Tana Mongeau brought a snake, I was looking for Jake Paul lol.” Twitter user ‘SpicyPurritos’ agreed, joking that she “couldn’t see the video at first,” so assumed they were talking about Paul when people were referring to the snake. When they said @tanamongeau brought a snake..I was looking for @jakepaul lol — Jami Chele (@JamiChele68) August 27, 2019 I couldn’t see the video at first & I thought “snake” was referring to Jake Paul — Ar!elle :sunflower: (@SpicyPurritos) August 26, 2019 Some even directed their attention to Jake Paul personally, sending him cheeky digs about the situation, with a user replying to one of his tweets with: “Instead of bringing you to the VMAs, (she) brought a snake… Wait, same thing?” Instead of bringing you to the #VMAs @tanamongeau brought a snake… wait same thing ? :snake::joyful: — Kurin Czerwin (@sherwinnnn_) August 27, 2019 Mongeau herself said the snake was a tribute to Britney Spears, who used a life snake as part of her performance at the 2001 edition of the awards show, but refrained from revealing whether there was a second meaning aimed at Jake Paul in her outfit choice.

  • Did T-Series actually take over PewDiePie after a YouTube technical issue? – Dexerto

    Did T-Series actually take over PewDiePie after a YouTube technical issue? PewDiePie, YouTube / T-SeriesYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is locked in a tense battle with Bollywood label T-Series to secure the most subscribers on the platform – but stats show that he suffered a brief defeat. During PewDiePie’s close run against T-Series on February 22, T-Series actually surpassed him for eight, grueling minutes. A report by social media metrics site Social Blade confirmed this development, explaining that T-Series’ short-lived victory was brought about by an automated YouTube audit. “For roughly 8 minutes, as a result of a YouTube audit, T-Series was ahead of PewDiePie (by a max of about 2000 subscribers),” a Social Blade spokesperson said of the issue. In order to ensure that stats like views and subscribers only reflect the activity of real users, YouTube routinely purges any inactive accounts. This happened to occur at the peak of PewDiePie’s run against T-Series, setting him back a reported 20,000 subscribers in the process. While a livestream of PewDiePie and T-Series’ sub counts showed a single subscriber difference between the two, it looks like Pewd’s defeat went largely unnoticed. Shoutout to that one guy who stopped him from getting passed, we are back over 7k now lol pic.twitter.com/VDRnH8XThr — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) February 22, 2019 Felix addressed the purge in a video on February 24, where he noted that their sub gap had only been around 22,000 subscribers just before the purge went live. “It was necessary,” Pewds said of his defeat. “Because now they got a taste of what it means to be number one. And that’s all you’re ever gonna get, T-Series.” [Timestamp: 9:38 for mobile users] Since Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s appearance on ‘Meme Review,’ PewDiePie has been soaring above his Bollywood nemesis, and is now over 69,000 subs above T-Series as of February 27.

    Did Snapchat remove games? Unsplash: Jonas LeupeDespite being mostly a communications app, Snapchat also used to be known for its in-app games that users could play with their contacts. But does Snapchat still have games? Snapchat is one of the most popular social media platforms, used by millions of people every day who send pictures, videos, and other media via the app. You could play a series of minigames such as Aquapark in the app, which would allow you to compete with your friends.

We’ll be bringing more focus to other Snapchat products and features that will be beneficial to creators and content viewers.” Going to the ‘Games on Snapchat’ page on their website now leads to a message that reads, “Important: Games are no longer available.” The removal of the games feature seems to have come as a disappointment to the people who frequently used the feature, but whether it will be making a comeback at any point remains to be seen.

    Did Olivia Rodrigo break up with Adam Faze? Singer hints at split in interview YouTube: GQ, CGTN AmericaFans are convinced that Driver’s License singer Olivia Rodrigo has parted ways with boyfriend Adam Faze, and a recent interview with British Vogue is only further fueling the flames. In July 2021, 18-year-old Olivia Rodrigo all but confirmed that she was dating 24-year-old producer Adam Faze after the two were caught locking lips by paparazzi. This surprising development came after Rodrigo’s infamous drama with rumored ex-boyfriend Joshua Bassett, with her viral song Driver’s License sparking speculation that the High School Musical: The Musical actor had dropped Rodrigo for actress Sabrina Carpenter.

  • Did Noah Beck and Dixie D’Amelio break up? TikTok comment concerns fans – Dexerto

    Did Noah Beck and Dixie D’Amelio break up? TikTok comment concerns fans Instagram: noahbeck / dixiedamelio / Unsplash: Luke ChesserSome fans are concerned that TikTok couple Noah Beck and Dixie D’Amelio may have broken up after a comment Noah posted on social media — however, others think the star was just joking. Dixie D’Amelio and Noah Beck confirmed they were a couple back in October 2021, after many theorized that the pair were romantically involved when they shared a kiss in Dixie’s ‘Be Happy’ music video. Since then, the couple, who are both popular on TikTok in their own right, have been sharing snippets of their relationship with the world in the form of cute pictures and videos, garnering millions of fans. However, Dixie and Noah have come up against lots of criticism due to their public relationship, even having to deny that they were faking their relationship for views at one point. Did Noah and Dixie split up? Now, their love life has been subject to rumors yet again after Beck seemed to imply the pair had split in a comment on TikTok. Underneath one of his recent TikToks, someone asked: “Are you still with Dixie?” to which Noah simply responded, “Nah.” The apparent confirmation sent fans into a spin, with many worrying that they had actually split. However, many replied to Noah’s comment suspecting that he’s actually joking, and that it’s just his sense of humor, as people are constantly asking the pair whether they are still together. It wouldn’t be the first time that they’ve generated breakup rumors with jokes on social media. Back in 2020, Dixie tweeted that she was single, but it turned out to have just been a joke as part of a Bryce Hall video she was in. Pictures of Noah and Dixie together remain on their Instagram profiles, so it looks like Noah’s comment might have not been serious, but whether either star comments on the matter further to either confirm or deny the rumors remains to be seen.

  • Did Markiplier really get into a fight? Viral video explained – Dexerto

    Did Markiplier really get into a fight? Viral video explained YouTube: Markiplier / Twitter: BoerFans are convinced that Markiplier got into a fistfight in the middle of the street, thanks to a viral video circulating social media — but is it real? Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fischbach is one of YouTube’s most prominent creators. He’s been on the platform for over ten years and has accrued over 35 million subscribers in that time. Mark is best known for his playthroughs of horror games — in particular, titles like Five Nights at Freddy’s and smaller indie horror experiences. That’s not all; Mark has also gone on to create a few interactive web series, such as In Space with Markiplier and A Heist with Markiplier. Now, the YouTuber is making his very own feature film based on the popular indie horror game ‘Iron Lung,’ and is rumored to be playing a cameo role in the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s movie… but fans were shocked when they thought they saw him scrapping in the street before these projects could be released. Fans convinced Markiplier got into street fight in viral video On September 11, Twitter user Boer posted a video of two men duking it out in the middle of the road during the day. The clip was also notably reposted by internet commentator Def Noodles, who captioned it: “Markiplier drops man who attacked him after traffic dispute. Did Mark get the W?” In the video, one of the men — who looks remarkably like Markiplier — manages to apprehend his opponent and slams him on the pavement WWE-style. “F*ck you!” the guy yells before apparently walking back to his vehicle. Although the man’s stature and dark, wavy hair certainly pin him as a dead-ringer for the famous YouTube star, most netizens agree that this is not Markiplier. A closer look through the footage shows that the guy’s beard and build are different from his famous YouTube counterpart (and we just can’t see a peaceful guy like Markiplier powerbombing a dude into the road, no matter how mad he gets). However, that isn’t stopping some netizens from being fooled by the viral clip, with some shocked at the faux-Mark’s fighting skills. “Damn… Markiplier [would] make a killing in the UFC if he joined,” one user wrote. Damn.. Markiplier will make a killing in the UFC if he joined — Lord Oracle The Bloody 🔪 🩸 (@SpookiLord) September 11, 2023 “My dumb a** thought that was actually Mark for a second,” another said. “Wait is this actually Markiplier?” another asked. “Holy shit, he can fight!” Wait is this actually Markiplier. Holy shit he can fight! — DowncastSpark (@DowncastSpark) September 12, 2023 Still, many others were quick to assure other fans that this isn’t actually him — although they admit the resemblance is somewhat uncanny. For Mark’s part, he’s claimed in the past that he has no interest in getting in on the influencer-boxing trend… but he’s already suffering some physical beatdowns after performing his own stunts in his upcoming movie, one of which injured his back.

    Did Madonna come out on TikTok? Viral video sparks rumors TikTok: Madonna / YouTube: The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy FallonSome fans are convinced that pop icon Madonna came out as gay in her most recent TikTok video, which is taking social media by storm. Madonna, hailed as the ‘Queen of Pop,’ is going viral on TikTok — and it’s not because of a new song. On October 9, the world-famous singer-songwriter uploaded a video to TikTok that showed herself sporting hot pink hair while holding a pair of matching undies. Captioning the video, “If I miss, I’m gay,” Madonna threw the undergarment toward a trash bin — but completely missed, with the panties falling on the ground about a foot away. The singer then gave a sassy finger snap before the clip ended… and fans are convinced that this video means that Madonna just came out. “Did I just witness Madonna coming out?” one commenter wrote. “Good for her.” “Did Madonna just come out? And I’m witnessing it in real time?” another asked. Madonna’s viral TikTok sparks celebration of pop icon’s past However, other viewers are pointing out several instances from the pop icon’s past in light of this latest video, arguing that this isn’t the first time she’s alluded to her sexuality in the public eye. Many commenters are bringing up Madonna’s famous smooch with Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards — a kiss that the two stars recreated earlier this year. On top of that, others are pointing toward Madonna’s music video for her song ‘Justify My Love,’ which showcased some romantic scenes between same-sex couples. That’s not all; commenters are also referencing a past interview the singer did, where she reportedly said “I won’t say I have never slept with a woman but… I love men,” according to NewsWeek. It’s clear that Madonna has been a longtime advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and her latest upload is sparking excitement online while also prompting fans to highlight the accomplishments in her past leading up to this viral moment.

  • Did Logan Paul’s ex-girlfriend Chloe Bennet predict his YouTube controversy? – Dexerto

    Did Logan Paul’s ex-girlfriend Chloe Bennet predict his YouTube controversy? LOGAN PAUL, YOUTUBE / Chloe Bennet, InstagramYouTuber and social media star Logan Paul spilled some major tea in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter – including a possibility that his ex-girlfriend, actress Chloe Bennet, might have anticipated his fall from grace. According to Paul, his infamous trip to Japan in early 2018 was inspired by Bennet, herself. However, the couple got into a heated argument just a week before the the two were set to leave for the island nation with a small group of friends. Paul stated that their argument stemmed from something as simple as a disagreement on which hotel they were to stay at. Bennet was apparently so upset at Paul’s behavior that she decided to skip out on the trip, and made an oddly chilling statement in the process. “She’s like, ‘Yo, this behavior is going to bite you in the ass,’” Paul said to The Reporter. “‘I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but you’re going to crash and burn.’ “ Bennet’s clairvoyant claim eventually came true on that very trip. Paul was at the center of global controversy due to filming a deceased person in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest.’ Of course, that wasn’t his only debacle to go on record: his entire travel experience in Japan was rife with disrespectful behavior in the famously conservative nation, which both its citizens and audiences around the globe took issue with. Paul admitted that the debacle cost him five million dollars, after which he was kicked from Google’s Preferred advertising program. While Paul continues to find success on YouTube, his character was recently pulled from the YouTube original series, Foursome.

  • Did Logan Paul perfectly predict David Dobrik’s downfall two years ago? – Dexerto

    Did Logan Paul perfectly predict David Dobrik’s downfall two years ago? YouTube: Logan Paul/David DobrikAmid all the drama with David Dobrik and the Vlog Squad, some fans believe Logan Paul predicted that downfall of the YouTuber all the way back in 2019, but not everyone’s convinced. Over the last few months, former members of David Dobrik’s Vlog Squad have aired their grievances with the YouTuber. Some have said they were tricked into making “traumatizing” content, while others have said making videos with Dobrik made them feel “worthless.” Additionally, there have been sexual assault allegations leveled against former Vlog Squad member Dominykas ‘Durte Dom’ Zeglaitis. As a result, multiple sponsors have severed ties with Dobrik, he’s stepped down from his Dispo app, and issued two apologies. However, some fans believe Logan Paul predicted everything almost two years ago. Twitter users have pointed to a clip from the June 11, 2019 episode of imPaulsive where Logan spoke at length about Dobrik and members of his Vlog Squad making jokes about Logan’s controversies during a private party at his house. In the clip, Logan refers to Dobrik’s “internet persona” and issues a pretty clear message about wanting to be careful moving forward. “David goes ‘oh, you did the Suicide Forest video’. David, shut the f**k up dude. For real, time to move on,” Logan said. “We get it, you’re hot s**t now but I think I can speak for everyone who knows you, if you keep this attitude up, your time is coming. I was there dude, I was f**king there. So, ease up tiger, ease the f**k up.” Topic begins at 13:25 While Logan hasn’t said anything about the ongoing Dobrik scandal, some fans believe he knew the downfall was coming. “Your man predicted David Dobrik’s fall from grace,” one fan tweeted. “I remember this clip, and I 100% agreed with him. It made so much sense,” added another. However, some saw it in a different light. “I think what he meant by “I was there too” is that he was also too arrogant to believe his actions won’t bite him in the ass someday,” they added. @antphrodite your man predicted David Dobrik’s fall from grace too 👀 — Whitney (@whitbenn) March 17, 2021 I remember this clip, and I 100% agreed with him. It make so much sense. — Sarah ✌️ (@SSpareCorner) March 17, 2021 I dont think he knew. The video was about DD backstabbing him. I think what he meant by “”I was there too”” is that he was also too arrogant(?) to believe his actions won’t bite him in the ass someday — leo 👅 (@pussyeater_cy) March 20, 2021 Given all the attention given to the clip, it might be a topic of conversation on an upcoming imPaulsive episode, and we’ll have to wait and see what Logan says.

  • Did Lil Huddy cheat on Charli D’Amelio? Josh Richards “drops” diss track – Dexerto

    Did Lil Huddy cheat on Charli D’Amelio? Josh Richards “drops” diss track Instagram: Charli D’AmelioIt’s been a week of drama in the world of TikTok stars, as Josh Richards appeared to reunite with Chase Hudson (Lil Huddy), only days after his viral diss track which accused his friend of cheating on Charli D’Amelio. Along with Bryce Hall, another popular TikTokker, Richards released the diss track to publicly accuse Hudson of trying to romance his girlfriend, Nessa Barrett, all while dating Charli D’Amelio. The track instantly went viral and sparked possibly the first major “beef” among the TikTok community, but only a week later it appears to have all died down. So, did Lil Huddy actually cheat on Charli? The diss track ‘Still Softish‘ made numerous references to Charli being cheated on, but the number one TikTok star made no comment on the drama herself. Hudson apparently knew about the diss track ahead of time, posting on Twitter that he predicted “some losers are gonna drop a diss track on me.” Fans were shocked by the allegations in the diss, but now Richards has “dropped the drama” and will no longer be antagonizing Hudson, he explained in his March 27 YouTube video. Although he says he has not “forgiven” Lil Huddy, they clearly want to move on from the drama and get back to normal. However, it’s unclear where this leaves Charli D’Amelio. Some fans pointed to two retweets she made on Twitter on March 27, which could have hinted at a breakup between TikTok’s most famous couple, but she hasn’t said anything publicly herself. With Richards and Hudson seemingly making up and being friends again, it’s left fans unclear how the relationship stands between the couple. Only a few days after the diss track was posted, it appeared the “beef” was “squashed. https://twitter.com/xlilhuddy/status/1242331071749869571 Charli and Chase have been fairly quiet about their relationship as it is, barely even revealing that they were dating at all. If there has been a breakup over this issue, it wouldn’t be surprising if they kept it just as quiet. They’re both members of the Hype House though, which could make for some awkward situations.

YouTube star possibly joining OVO Sound Instagram: Jake PaulIn his latest surprise career move, Jake Paul’s entourage has hinted that the YouTuber-turned-boxer might be signed to hip-hop artist Drake’s own record label, OVO Sound. On 30 April, people were intrigued when Paul Tweeted that today was the “greatest day of his life.” Although he stayed shtum about any further details, Jake’s friends were less cryptic. One of Jake’s staff members, Gio Mayoral, posted an Instagram story of himself wearing a GVO chain while a Drake song plays in the background. In the story, he also tagged OVO member Jay Da Barber, who Paul recently helped set up a barber shop. Meanwhile, Jon Marianek, Jake’s editor, posted a video on his own Instagram story of the YouTuber listening to Drake, remarking that “today has been a crazy day.” Rumors of Paul’s alleged signing to OVO Sound comes after his latest single ‘Dummy’, which was released on October 15, featured rapper TV Gucci, who is already signed to the label. OVO Sound was founded by Drake along with producer Noah “40” Shebib and Oliver El-Khatib. The Toronto-based label specialises in hip-hop and R&B music, and has signings such as PARTYNEXTDOOR, Dvson and Roy Woods. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1388502676657246214 This isn’t the first time Paul has made a surprise U-turn in his career.

  • Did Jake Paul retire from boxing? Mysterious tweet leaves fans panicked – Dexerto

    Did Jake Paul retire from boxing? Mysterious tweet leaves fans panicked YouTube: SHOWTIME SportsYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul has left fans in a frenzy after suddenly claiming that he’s retired from the sport following his split-decision victory over Tyron Woodley. It hasn’t even been 24 hours past his last fight, and Jake Paul has claimed he’s retiring from the sport of boxing. Jake Paul, 24, first nabbed his claim to fame as an influencer. Transitioning from Vine to YouTube along with his older bro, Logan Paul, Jake racked up an impressive 20 million subscribers. But that wasn’t enough for the online entertainer. When Logan struck up a beef with KSI in 2018, Jake Paul made sure he was on the fight’s undercard, where he took down fellow YouTuber Deji. Jake Paul facing his first EVER real test. pic.twitter.com/zIRnxpjaqD — Dexerto (@Dexerto) August 30, 2021 Ever since then, Jake has been bitten with the boxing bug, and has gone on to score a 4-0 undefeated professional career. His latest bout was his most challenging, taking on five-time former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley in Cleveland, Ohio. Unlike his seemingly easy victories over former NBA pro Nate Robinson, YouTuber AnEsonGib and former Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren, Jake Paul took Tyron Woodley through all eight rounds to win their bout by split-decision — an outcome he called “bulls**t.” While Jake Paul has a slew of other potential opponents lined up already, the YouTuber shocked the world with a tweet the very next day that read: “Updated status: Retired boxer.” Needless to say, his fans are equal parts confused and saddened, while haters are hopeful. However, this could all be a huge prank, which wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for the self-proclaimed “Problem Child” of influencer boxing. In a previous tweet, Paul had claimed that he was satisfied enough to retire, as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson had posted him on his Instagram feed. The post in question shows The Rock chilling out for the evening while watching Paul vs Woodley on the TV and indulging in a well-deserved drink. View this post on Instagram Jake Paul comes out of retirement Just a day later, it seems that Paul has officially come out of boxing retirement… if he ever really “retired” at all, that is. 24 hours after freaking out his fanbase, the influencer boxer posted another tweet turning his retirement on its head. While haters are understandably exhausted, fans are equal parts amused and ecstatic. It’s a good thing, too, as they’re likely looking forward to Paul’s future boxing matches against his slew of proposed opponents… especially after him taking a rematch with Woodley right away.

  • Did Jake Paul & Julia Rose break up? Cryptic tweet sparks rumors – Dexerto

    Did Jake Paul & Julia Rose break up? Cryptic tweet sparks rumors YouTube: Jake PaulFans are speculating that a breakup may have occurred between YouTube boxer Jake Paul and girlfriend Julia Rose after the ‘Problem Child’ posted and deleted a mysterious tweet. Jake Paul is one of the busiest YouTubers in the business — if he can even be called a true ‘YouTuber’ these days. The former Team 10 founder has now jumped full-time into the world of boxing, racking up an undefeated 5-0 record with more bouts on the horizon. During his foray into combat sports, he sparked a relationship with model Julia Rose, which first went public in early 2020 after she supported him in his then-upcoming bout against YouTuber AnEsonGib. Mysterious Jake Paul tweet sparks Julia Rose breakup rumors The two have posted photos with each other on Instagram throughout the last two years, and even sparked rumors of an engagement in January — but a recent (and now-deleted) tweet from Paul has some fans thinking the pair may have broken things off. On February 24, 2022, Paul wrote on Twitter: “Alexa, play ‘I’m Single’ by Jake Paul.” The post references Jake Paul’s song ‘I’m Single,’ which first debuted in March 2019 after his notable breakup with Tana Mongeau. That’s not all; it also looks like Paul unfollowed Julia over on Instagram, added further fuel to the fire. Outside of these instances, neither Jake nor Julia have offered any other comment on the situation, with Julia’s Instagram handle still reading ‘Julia Rose Paul’ at the time of writing (not to mention her latest pics with Jake on the ocean). View this post on Instagram These breakup rumors come as a surprise to fans, who were under the impression the couple were working on an engagement — a rumor further substantiated by Paul’s mother wishing Julia a “happy birthday to my future daughter-in-law” on social media. As with all relationship rumors, nothing is confirmed until either party speaks out, but for now, it seems as though Paul is focusing on securing a match with Conor McGregor as he continues to duke it out with the UFC’s Dana White over fighter pay.

  • Did Floyd Mayweather’s camp just admit to throwing the Logan Paul fight? – Dexerto

    Did Floyd Mayweather’s camp just admit to throwing the Logan Paul fight? REVOLT, Logan PaulFollowing a legendary pay-per-view boxing match with YouTuber Logan Paul, many people took to social media questioning whether or not Floyd Mayweather took it easier than normal on Paul. Turns out, they were kind of right. Everyone familiar with the Paul brothers probably knows about Logan Paul’s recent interest with boxing. Roughly a year after Logan Paul’s rematch with KSI, rumors started surfacing that he wanted to challenge Floyd Mayweather. Considered one of the greatest boxers in the world, many experts initially touted this battle as a bad decision. Many who witnessed Mayweather’s career as it happened believed he would snap Paul in half, with others believing Paul would win, basing their decisions off of the weight and size differences. When the fight finally took place, it consisted of constant clinching initiated by Paul which led to much of social media and the live crowd disappointed when the two boxers ended up going the full distance, with no winners being announced. Following the fight, social media hashtags started trending that implied the two boxers purposely threw the event. Potential theories included Logan Paul paying Mayweather not to hurt him so they both could walk away with a hefty amount of money, to Mayweather himself being hesitant. Mayweather tactics revealed for Logan Paul fight As reported in a UK national newspaper, it has been confirmed by Mayweather’s cousin, Dejuan Blake, that the famous boxer did “throw” the event to an extent, citing he “didn’t want to hurt” the YouTube star. “One punch could change the game, why would he want to hurt him like that?” Mayweather, 44, was a defense master during the second half of his career and received criticism for his safety-first approach by many people in the industry, with others giving him credit for enjoying the sport and not wanting to injure everyone else. Often referencing his uncle Rogers aggressive style and how it affected his health up until his death last year. According to the report, inflicting pain on Paul –who had only boxed twice beforehand – was never a part of the plan, no matter how much trash talk there had been or who mentioned he should knock him out. Blake continued to go on to put emphasis on how Floyd loved the sport, but hated the damage that comes after the sport is over. “It was a great experience, a great event. We did great numbers for a non-professional fight, it was a success.” Despite no KO ending, both boxers still consider it a success. They teamed up, provided entertainment and went their own ways with a rumored $100 Million dollars. With Mayweather enjoying retirement and Paul considering a full time career in MMA.

  • Did FaZe Banks steal Logan Paul’s new girlfriend? – Dexerto

    Did FaZe Banks steal Logan Paul’s new girlfriend? FaZe Banks, Twitter / Casey Boonstra, Instagram / TooFabControversial YouTuber Logan Paul may have lost his new main squeeze to FaZe content creator Ricky Banks, as told by a few incriminating Instagram stories. Logan Paul was seen holding hands with Australian model Casey Boonstra during the Flat Earth International Conference in Denver on November 16, prompting mass speculation that the two were dating after his breakup with actress Chloe Bennet. While Boonstra went on to feature Logan’s Pomeranian in her SnapChat story to further fuel the fire, she may also have let slip her involvement with FaZe Banks, who she featured in her Instagram story over the weekend of December 14 – 16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxXkiOo9DdQ In her story, Boonstra could be seen cozying up to Banks with a kiss on the cheek, calling him her “first best friend I’ve ever met” and claiming that she loved him “so much.” This interaction generated a whirlwind of breakup rumors between Banks and his girlfriend, YouTuber Alissa Violet, who unfollowed him on Instagram after Boonstra’s story went live. While Banks unfollowed Violet in response, the two followed each other again shortly thereafter, with Violet going on to post an affectionate selfie with Boonstra on her own Instagram story. According to Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem, Violet had been confused as to who Boonstra was, later recognizing that she knew the model and was even close friends with her. While Logan Paul has yet to respond to the debacle, he did mention that he and former MMA fighter Brendan Schaub had dated the same person during an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast on December 14 – although whether that individual was Casey Boonstra or not remains to be seen.

  • Did Elon Musk buy Google? YouTube hoax goes viral – Dexerto

    Did Elon Musk buy Google? YouTube hoax goes viral Instagram: Elon MuskA viral video on YouTube video has convinced users that Elon Musk bought Google, but it turns out it’s a hoax. Here’s everything we know. After months of going back and forth regarding his purchase of Twitter, Elon Musk became the sole owner of the social media site on October 27, 2022. Since then, he’s been in the news almost daily as he makes changes such as implementing a policy that banned the account tracking his jet and reactivating Andrew Tate’s account after five years. He’s back in the news yet again after a viral YouTube video convinced users that Elon bought Google, but it turned out to be a hoax. Did Elon Musk buy Google? No, Elon Musk did not buy Google. However, many fans are convinced he did due to a YouTube video posted on January 8, 2023. Titled “Elon Musk: ‘I officially bought Google’,” the video is voiced over by the owner of the ‘Elon Musk Zone’ YouTube channel hosting the hoax. At the time of writing, it reached over 458,000 views less than a day after it was uploaded. Fans of the tech magnate quickly shared their opinions in the comments of the video. “Of course, he can take Google. Most people may not agree. The man had genius abilities,” one user said. Another replied: “This is awesome thank you Elon you are the greatest.” In the description of the channel, the owner behind it notes that it is a “fan channel” made for “fictive entertainment,” but has definitely managed to convince viewers otherwise. This isn’t the first hoax surrounding Musk in the last few months either. Last November, fans were convinced his Twitter profile has briefly suspended.

  • Did Dave Portnoy break up the Sway House? Josh Richards explains fall of TikTok group – Dexerto

    Did Dave Portnoy break up the Sway House? Josh Richards explains fall of TikTok group via BFFs YouTube / SwayLA InstagramThe fate of the once-great Sway House collective has been up in the air, and TikTok star Josh Richards explained how the group dialed down, as well as Dave Portnoy’s place in the whole dilemma. Much of this speculation started in early December 2020 when Blake Gray’s tweets sparked speculation that something bigger was happening around the Sway House. “All good things must come to an end at some point,” he said, instantly igniting discourse around the TitkTok collective. Shortly after, it was damage control from members like Bryce Hall and Richards who shut down those rumors in the following days, saying no one had left the group. Of course, matters weren’t made any better as influencers started disassociating themselves from ‘Sway House’ on their socials. As a commentator of the L.A. influencer scene, there was talk that Portnoy might have had something to do with Sway House seemingly crumbling, something that he asked Richards on the BFF’s Podcast. “No, I don’t [think you split up Sway House],” Richards said in response to the host. “I think that’s something people are talking about… but it’s hard to say it’s split up or if it’s still even exists — It’s weird cause half the people are already out of it.” Richards then explained how the members remember Sway House with fond memories, but talked about the natural separation the group is going through as they grow their own individual content. “How can you really say it’s broken up?” Richards continued to say. “Cause one week there’s no YouTube content together, a TikTok hasn’t been made, or there’s this joking around, or this beef, that ‘Sway’s over, Sway’s ended.’ People just jump to conclusions.” Richards explains that everyone eventually found their target content that they individually do. So while they’ll work together when possible, they’re all largely doing their own thing. Moreover, the group is “growing up,” as Richards says. Now that everyone is dipping into the business or managerial side of social media stardom, Richards said that Sway House fans might not get their regular dose of content even if the TikTokers do link up. As for Portnoy’s place in the saga, Richards downplayed any involvement from Portnoy and is expecting the friends to make sporadic content every once in a while.

  • Did the Dallas XFL team “steal” Renegades’ name and logo? – Dexerto

    Did the Dallas XFL team “steal” Renegades’ name and logo? Renegades/RenegadesThe XFL unveiled the names and logos of its eight franchises on August 21, but one of the teams strikingly resembles and shares a name with the Renegades esports organization. While the XFL is still launching in 2020, the Renegades esports organization has been around since 2015. Its logo is of a cowboy looking to the right with a bandana over his face to hide his identity. The Dallas Renegades is extremely similar, not just in terms of the name, which is identical, but the logo too. Once again, a bandana-wearing cowboy stares to the right, only this time the colors go from brown and yellow to blue and red. The Dallas XFL team just straight up stole the @Renegades name and logo. That was my creative vision. https://t.co/cD6HLWGv6z — MonteCristo (@MonteCristo) August 21, 2019 Christopher ‘MonteCristo’ Mykles was not impressed with the new football team. “The Dallas XFL team just straight up stole the @Renegades name and logo. That was my creative vision,” the former Renegades owner tweeted. Read More: MonteCristo reveals what he’d change in the Overwatch League “Yo for real contact an attorney. If you need a firm I work for an entertainment and ip firm and can get you a referral,” Laurie Thomas commented. I sold the brand to @JonasJerebko, but he can sue them. Enjoy your big settlement, Jonas. https://t.co/qb0z7fLaoU — MonteCristo (@MonteCristo) August 21, 2019 While Mykles sold the team to NBA player Jonas Jerebko, the Overwatch commentator implied a lawsuit could be brewing. “I sold the brand to @JonasJerebko, but he can sue them. Enjoy your big settlement, Jonas,” he said. In a statement to Dexerto, MonteCristo said, “The branding for Renegades was created according to my vision and direction and I worked with the graphic designers on that final logo. I, however, no longer own the brand since I sold it to Jonas Jerebko in 2016, so any action will be taken by him if he chooses to respond.” This isn’t the first football team to be called the Renegades either. In 2002, a Canadian Football League team called the Ottawa Renegades entered the league and they too share a similar looking logo of a cowboy with a bandana, although this character faces the left. The XFL is the creation of WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon. Originally, the XFL debuted in 2001, but only lasted a single season. Some of the issues pertained to the league’s emphasis on violence and sex content – something more inline with pro-wrestling and not American football. McMahon admitted the original league had been a “colossal failure”. The Ottawa Renegades were yet another team with a similar logo. Now, the league is making a comeback in 2020 with eight teams. Games will be broadcast on ESPN, Fox Sports and ABC as part of a three-year deal. The league plans to have a 10-game regular season and then a two-week playoff with the top two teams in each division. Dexerto has reached out to the Dallas Renegades and esports’ Detroit Renegades for comment.

  • Did Crazy Frog die? Insane viral post brings classic meme back into the spotlight – Dexerto

    Did Crazy Frog die? Insane viral post brings classic meme back into the spotlight Jamba!Crazy Frog Updates, an unofficial fan page, has sent Twitter into a spiral after posting of the death of the Crazy Frog in a wild flashback to the mid 2000s. The Crazy Frog, aka The Annoying Thing, was an unmistakable sound heard across schoolyards worldwide. It was then turned into an incredibly distinctive CGI character, spawning a number one single that trotted the globe in a bizarre turn of events that no one could have predicted. Now, 13 years on from the one-hit-wonder and one of the original memes to capture the internet’s attention, the Crazy Frog has been launched back into the collective consciousness through a Twitter thread that’s gone astronomically viral. “Crazy Frog has died” reads the tweet from the Crazy Frog Updates fan page. Listed as ‘Not Associated with Crazy Frog’ in the page’s bio. Following on from the initial shock announcement, the account continued “Will follow up with updates if/when I get confirmation.” Eventually catching the eye of the official Crazy Frog page, the thread ended with “Good News:” followed by a retweet of the verified Crazy Frog saying “I don’t think so.” In what was a whirlwind of emotion for fans and detractors of the divisive character, thousands of people have taken to Reddit and Twitter to express joy and sorrow at the news. With “Rest… sweet prince” being the adieu of many to the bug-eyed creation. Quick to make news of the passing as quasi-official as possible, the Crazy Frog wiki was instantly bombarded with changes listing the CGI character’s death date as April 17. Fans looking to find a reason behind this post going viral were quick to point out that this isn’t the first time the Crazy Frog Updates has claimed that the character has died. “It’s ok lads, he’s done it before” Considering the 3.3 billion views on the Frog’s original video, and the indelible mark it left on early internet culture, the cold response has been nothing short of hilarious. As one tweet went into great detail to rewrite a prayer for the modern ages: “Give us this day our daily ding; and forgive us our dongs as we forgive those who ding ding against us; lead us not into bam bam, but deliver us from bong bong. Amen.”

  • Did Charli D’Amelio just tease her new music career? Latest Hulu trailer sparks rumors – Dexerto

    Did Charli D’Amelio just tease her new music career? Latest Hulu trailer sparks rumors YouTube: HuluTikTok star Charli D’Amelio may have hinted that she’s starting a music career in the latest trailer for the D’Amelio show on Hulu… and she’s worried about telling her big sis, Dixie. Sisters Charli and Dixie D’Amelio are two of TikTok’s most prominent creators, boasting over 203 million followers combined. Between the two of them, Charli is the dancer, while Dixie has started up a music career, scoring major features on her songs and even getting to tour with Big Time Rush this summer. While Charli has continued to put her focus into dancing and TikTok (and is even slated to act in several upcoming horror films), she’s been adamant that music is totally Dixie’s thing… until now. Charli D’Amelio worries over telling Dixie about possible music career The next season of The D’Amelio Show is getting ready to drop on Hulu on September 28, and a new trailer was just released where Charli seems to be entertaining the idea of getting into music. “I want to chase after any dream that I could imagine,” Charli says in the trailer. “Music is something Charli is interested in doing,” her father, Marc D’Amelio, adds. “I love performing, but I don’t feel ready to tell Dixie about music just because this was kind of like, her thing,” Charli continues. Their mother then expresses some worry about telling Dixie about her sister’s new interest, saying that “people are going to compare them” and that she doesn’t “know how she’ll react to us not telling her.” While it’s unclear when or if Charli will be releasing music anytime soon, this wouldn’t be the first time rumors have flown around about the youngest D’Amelio sister going down this path. Back in 2021, fans were convinced that Charli was trying to step on Dixie’s toes after she joked about rapping on one of her sister’s songs. “I had like a three-second speaking line in one of her songs that are not even out yet, so how can you guys be mad?” Charli said of the matter. “And I was like, y’all really think I’m going to be rapping? If you really think that I’m going to start my rap career, that’s on you. Who would believe that?” It’s uncertain how fans will take this latest step in Charli’s career as the former TikTok queen continues to branch out from social media into other avenues.

  • Did Charli D’Amelio break up with Landon Barker? TikTok stars speak out amid rumors – Dexerto

    Did Charli D’Amelio break up with Landon Barker? TikTok stars speak out amid rumors HuluFor months now, fans were convinced that TikTok star Charli D’Amelio was having relationship troubles with boyfriend Landon Barker — but did these two really break up? Here’s what we know so far. Charli D’Amelio is TikTok’s second-most followed influencer, boasting over 151 million followers on the video-sharing app. As such a prominent online figure, Charli’s love life has been a major point of interest for fans. Most recently, Charli dated Landon Barker, son of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker — but their relationship has been the subject of scrutiny for years. In fact, breakup rumors plagued the celebrity couple ever since the pair first debuted their romance back in summer 2022… and now, it’s looking more likely than ever that there’s trouble brewing in paradise. Charli D’Amelio opens up about Landon Barker breakup rumors A teaser for Season 3 of the D’Amelio show appeared to tease some potential drama for Charli and Landon’s relationship in September 2023. In the ad, Charli said: “Landon and I are in a relationship. In the public eye, there’s a lot of pressure.” That’s not all; the trailer then showed Charli and Landon embracing, with Charli saying: “If you keep one more secret from me, I’m going to melt down.” Some fans took this to mean that Landon had been keeping secrets from Charli, and that a breakup was imminent for the couple. However, it didn’t look like the two stars broke up in spite of the rumors. In fact, both Landon and Charli basically confirmed that they were still together in separate interviews after the fact. During a conversation with Toofab, Charli opened up about her relationship with Barker, saying that “right now everything’s great,” and “I’m so happy with how far we’ve come and where we are now, and excited about whatever comes next in this journey with the two of us.” (Topic begins at 4:00) Earlier, Barker opened up on his relationship with Charli on the Lightweights podcast, explaining that they don’t feel the need to constantly post about their relationship online — something he said was a stark contrast to her past relationship with ex-boyfriend Chase Hudson. Landon Barker reveals breakup with Charli D’Amelio However, things took a turn for the worse in early 2024, as Landon admitted that he and Charli had officially parted ways. On February 6, Landon posted a statement to his Instagram stories, where he explained why he and his TikTok-famous boo decided to call it quits. “Hey everyone, I would like to let you guys know that Charli and I are no longer together,” he wrote. “We broke up to focus on ourselves. We are still friends and have so much love for each other.” “I am incredibly grateful for the time we shared and hope you can respect our decisions. Thank you all, love you all so much!” However, Charli seems to have a different approach to her breakup, posting a selfie and a humorous quip about how she “lost” her mashed potatoes on Snapchat. This news doesn’t come as a massive shock to fans, who have been convinced the couple was going through problems for some months. In October, Charli opened up about her relationship with Landon in the season finale of the D’Amelio Show on Hulu, revealing there was more drama going on than met the eye. In the episode, Charli claimed that Landon had “flipped out” on her during her birthday vacation in the Bahamas. “He was like, ‘You don’t know how to handle my anxiety,’” Charli claimed. “We were fighting every single night. It was like every little thing that I did. …He was just like, so mad at me.” For now, it looks like this TikTok-famous couple is officially over, harkening back to big sis Dixie’s now-defunct relationship with ex-boyfriend Noah Beck.

  • Did Addison Rae get fired from UFC? TikTok star responds to interview backlash – Dexerto

    Did Addison Rae get fired from UFC? TikTok star responds to interview backlash Instagram: addisonraeeTikTok sensation Addison Rae has responded after she was slammed on Twitter for ‘taking jobs’ by doing some reporting work for the UFC. 20-year-old Addison Rae was trending Twitter on July 10 after she posted a couple of images of her holding a microphone in front of the UFC background. She captioned it: “I studied broadcast journalism in college for 3 whole months to prepare for this moment,” referring to her brief stint at Louisiana State University studying sports broadcasting before she blew up on TikTok. I studied broadcast journalism in college for 3 whole months to prepare for this moment pic.twitter.com/5Z95OTSVTA — Addison Rae (@whoisaddison) July 10, 2021 However, many didn’t take kindly to Addison being granted the sought-after position and criticized her for ‘taking jobs’ from other journalists. “So you’re taking a job from someone who [dedicates] their time and money to get such a job, whereas you get it because of fame,” one Twitter user wrote. Others criticized her for her caption about her short-lived college studies. Addison Rae responds to backlash Amid the Twitter storm, the TikToker quote tweeted her own tweet with the caption, “nvm y’all got me fired.” She also retweeted a Barstool tweet with a picture of her next to the caption, “most hated UFC commentator ever.” While Addison’s tweets were likely intended as a lighthearted response to the situation, it’s not exactly clear whether she has actually been “fired,” as she didn’t say whether it was just intended to be a one-off appearance, or if she had arranged an ongoing role with the UFC. Although she received a great deal of backlash, countless fellow creators and fans have tried to counter some of the criticism with support, with many saying that there was nothing wrong with her appearance and that the hate is undeserved. Both fans and critics alike will now be keeping an eye out for any future work Addison might do with the UFC to find out if she was really fired, but whether she returns to her reporting role or not, she has plenty of other work on the horizon, like her upcoming album.

  • Did Addison Rae cheat on Bryce Hall? Cryptic tweets spark rumors – Dexerto

    Did Addison Rae cheat on Bryce Hall? Cryptic tweets spark rumors Instagram: Bryce HallTikTok star Bryce Hall dropped some pretty cryptic posts on Twitter regarding someone cheating on him, and some fans have quickly pointed to something happening between himself and Addison Rae. The rise of TikTok has seen fans latch onto a new batch of social media stars. Many of TikTok’s big names are still teenagers, but they’ve got millions upon millions of fans. As he’s grown and grown, Bryce Hall has shared plenty of personal details with fans, but there is nothing fans are interested more in than his relationship with Addison Rae. The pair have been on-and-off-again for quite some time but they were spotted together at the Jake Paul and Ben Askren fight. However, cryptic posts from Bryce in the aftermath have got some fans worried. In the early hours of April 19, the TikTok star put out two tweets that didn’t name anyone and conveyed that he was rather annoyed at something. “I’m about to explode man,” his tweet said, and before fans could put their finger on what had upset him, he followed that up with another post. “F**king me, telling me you love me then sneaking around with someone else… that f**king hurts,” Bryce said, with fans quickly connecting the dots and pointing the finger at Addison. https://twitter.com/BryceHall/status/1384017744362758152 https://twitter.com/BryceHall/status/1384028776447705093 While nothing has been confirmed, fans did some digging and uncovered an Instagram post apparently linking Addison and singer Jack Harlow. Read More: Are Charly Jordan and Logan Paul dating? – The post alleges that the TikToker and the singer spent time together at the Jake Paul fight, even though she’d been spotted with Bryce there too. What made things more interesting for fans is that Bryce liked the post itself. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1384040759280640001 As noted, there’s nothing confirmed about the pair, and the constant confusion around the relationship still lingers heavy. Fans will be hoping that they say something official before any more shots and cryptic messages are sent out.

  • ‘Diamond in the Rough’ star Griffin Johnson shuts down “stigma” around TikTok actors – Dexerto

    ‘Diamond in the Rough’ star Griffin Johnson shuts down “stigma” around TikTok actors Creator+TikTok celeb Griffin Johnson is starring in his first major film, ‘Diamond in the Rough’ — and he’s eager for critics to give social media stars a chance on the silver screen. Griffin Johnson is joining the throng of TikTok superstars who are making their debut in major motion pictures. Following in the footsteps of names like Addison Rae, Charli D’Amelio, and Bryce Hall — all of whom have announced major movie projects — Griffin is starring in an upcoming romantic comedy titled ‘Diamond in the Rough.’ The film is a golf-centric affair, inspired by classic flicks like ‘Caddyshack’ and ‘Happy Gilmore.’ He is co-star to Disney and Nickelodeon’s Samantha Boscarino, whose character, Ariana, is gifted a membership to an “upscale country club” — but she discovers the environment is a little too similar to the catty hierarchy she experienced in high school. View this post on Instagram We got the chance to sit down with both Griffin and Samantha to discuss their new film when Johnson brought up the “stigma” TikTokers face from both fans and critics when they try to do something new. Griffin Johnson talks TikTok acting “stigma” Q: What is your response to the stigma around TikTokers getting into the acting biz? Griffin: I think a lot of it is honestly, people are a little bit, I don’t wanna say jealous, but they love to come down on people from TikTok because the career is… it happens pretty quick, and for different quirky things that people don’t see as talented. Doing this film has allowed me to showcase what I’m personally capable of. A lot of the people around me are already super talented actors and actresses. Coming into this allowed me to automatically be surrounded by great people and people that are great at their craft and just heighten me up as a person. I think for anyone that has that stigma around them, just watch the film. Watch the film and you’ll see. I think they’ll understand how authentic and how fun this is. I’m not worried. I think they’ll enjoy it. Samantha: I feel like it’s ‘more power to you.’ Especially with all the online streamers. There’s so much content out there and so much opportunity. I think if you can put the work in and kind of respect the space and the art and you’re willing to put the work in, I think, like Griffin’s saying, it will show for itself. I think it’s great. More power to you. Get in there! View this post on Instagram Q: What is the biggest difference for you, between filming a TV show and a full-length film? Samantha: There’s a lot of differences. I think this film in particular moved very quickly. We shot it in 17 days, which I’ve never done anything like that before. That was kind of its own challenge. It moved very quickly, whereas a sitcom, you have all week to rehearse and you shoot the last two days of the week. There’s a lot more time to prep and get familiar with the scenes. Samantha Boscarino explains difference working with TikTok star on set Q: What was it like working alongside a TikTok star like Griffin as your co-star? Samantha: It was great. Griffin came on with a lot of good energy, and took it very seriously. It felt like any co-star that you meet for the first time and you try to bond with and build a relationship. Griffin brought a very light-hearted energy to set, so it was nice because it didn’t feel too serious. We were having fun. Q: What was it like working alongside a Disney and Nickelodeon star like Samantha? Samantha: He was star-struck. (Laughs) Griffin: Obviously, coming into this, it was my first film — large film, to be exact. Being around people that are distinguished in the space and entertainment, Sam’s done real TV and movies, so it was a little bit intimidating coming in, because as you know, there’s a stigma coming from social media and TikTok. I would say, if anything, it was super uplifting. Sam and I connected right off the bat. We had a lot of fun with the film and she made it easier for me to act and play my character. I would say, at first, I was a little bit star-struck, but we had a good time and it was super fun. View this post on Instagram Making the movie their own Q: This film is inspired by classics like ‘Happy Gilmore’ and ‘Caddyshack.’ Did you two feel any pressure to live up to these movies? Or did you want to make it more of your own thing? Griffin: I would say for me personally, obviously, those films are classics. I think there’s a lot of people who’ve taken inspiration from that. This is a golf movie, specifically, and people might correlate those more directly. This is its own thing, something that’s new age and super authentic to the culture and the way things have developed today with everything that’s happened recently. 2020’s kind of a crazy year. I think what makes this movie and sets it off is how culturally aware it is and up-to-date. I think a lot of the characters and the development of this is a little bit more new age and aware of what’s going on in the world. Griffin Johnson & Samantha Boscarino share funniest moments on set Q: What was the funniest moment that happened on set between the two of you? Griffin: I’ll say it, and I feel like you might agree. The first kissing scene we had. I don’t know if they’re gonna add in bloopers or what. I don’t remember if it was the second kiss or the first kiss or whatever. When you go to kiss someone you each have your own preferred way. It’s different for every relationship, every person or whatever. I think Sam and I prefer the same side. We had a few bumps into each other. I just remember that. It was super funny for me, because I never really thought about it until that moment, like, ‘Wow, everyone has a preferred side,’ and I guess we just have the same preferred side. Samantha: We did shoot that fairly on in the film. So we weren’t as comfortable with each other. Griffin: It was funny. It was interesting. Q: Did you guys play any golf to prepare on set? Did you goof off? Do you even like golf? Samantha: I played zero golf. Honestly, whenever I would see my cousins watching golf on TV, I’d be like, ‘I do not understand this. What is interesting about this?’ And then, I had to learn for this movie. I honestly kind of fell in love with it. I loved the challenge of it. I’m a dancer, so I think that helped, having the mind-body connection. It’s so much harder than it looks. I have a lot of respect for the golf game now. Griffin: I’ve played for many, many years of my life now. I loved being able to say that I’ve done a golf movie now, because I have a bunch of golf buddies and I play all the time. It was cool for me. I enjoyed it. Griffin Johnson speaks on future film projects Q: Do you have any future projects coming up that you can tell us about? Griffin: You know, I’m actually in talks and working on something soon again with Creator plus. We have another film that will be just as culturally aware and authentic and fun. I’m excited for this one first, and once people get a taste and idea of what we’re about, we’ll have something else for them. ‘Diamond in the Rough’ is set to release exclusively on the Creator+ platform on June 29, 2022. Fans can get early access through the Creator+ website. Until then, stay tuned to Dexerto for the latest info on other TikTokers making their way to Hollywood.

  • DHOTYA 2019 winner revealed after insanely close final – Dexerto

    DHOTYA 2019 winner revealed after insanely close final The 2019 edition of the Didn’t Happen Of The Year Awards (DHOTYA), an award celebrating the biggest liars on social media, has come to an end following an unbelievably close final showdown. The incredibly popular awards hit their fourth year and were bigger than ever as they dominated Twitter with their hilarious posts that were all in aid of helping children with cancer. Once again, a selection of social media posts that were almost certainly tall tales, were pitted against each other in a fan vote – with the eventual winner being dubbed as the best ‘didn’t happen’ of the year. Just over 6 hours until it all kicks off with Group A. A quick, simple recap of the year in #DHOTYA2019 pic.twitter.com/frys9WaQaB — Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) December 27, 2019 This year’s contest featured some incredibly tough competition, with amazing stories like the ‘£4.40 toastie by George Benson’, ‘Clapping by Ciara’, and even Chelsea Football Club making an appearance. However, there could only be one winner. Soccer pro Wayne Hennessey went up against a mother and her one-year-old in the grand final. The Crystal Palace goalkeeper claimed that his alleged nazi salute was a misunderstanding, while the latter insisted her son said he would go to work for her while donning her uniform. It came down to the death, but “he’s only one” was triumphant – taking home the Didn’t Happen Of The Year by just 0.4% of the vote, as they claimed 50.4% of the 68,322 votes cast. CONGRATULATIONS! The winner of #DHOTYA2019 is “He’s Only 1”. 2019 was a tough year with so many great entries, but with a tiniest of margins (50.4%) of the 68,322 votes in the final, you’ve chosen “He’s Only 1” as the biggest “Didn’t Happen” of the year! pic.twitter.com/XcUuIWKUkv — Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) December 29, 2019 There were eight groups of four teams at the start, so both entries had to defeat quite a few opponents on their way to the finals. Many will be disappointed by Hennessey’s loss as he was the favorite going into the event. However, everyone involved no doubt had a great time seeing some of the ridiculous and hilarious things that people were posting on social media throughout 2019.

  • Influencer boxing super card: 8 dream fights we want to see – Dexerto

    Influencer boxing super card: 8 dream fights we want to see Instagram/JakePaul/PewDiePie/Twitter/DrDisrespectEver since Logan Paul and KSI fought, boxing matches between YouTubers, TikTokers and Twitch stars have become must-see events — but what would the ultimate dream card look like? Imagine, if you will, an event with no injuries bogging it down, plenty of scores to settle and an unlimited budget to make each match a reality. For many, Jake Paul vs KSI is already the top choice to headline such an event. The two are undefeated, have a heated rivalry, and are planning to finally duke it out sometime in 2023. That said, what could make such an anticipated fight even bigger? What would the rest of the card look like? With so many rivalries across the internet and high-profile feuds, there’s no shortage of possible matches, but here are five that we’d want to see to create the best event possible. xQc vs PewDiePie Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg aren’t just two content creators who happen to both be named Felix — they’re also two of the biggest names on Twitch and YouTube. Think about it: On one side you have xQc, the king of Twitch and expert in gorilla warfare thanks to all those Winston Primal Rages in Overwatch. On the other, you have PewDiePie, probably the biggest solo creator on the planet. Having the two take each other on in a Twitch vs YouTube showdown would absolutely be a blast, and could very well sell out any arena. And speaking of arenas… Dr Disrespect vs Twitch This is, perhaps, the most mysterious feud on this fantasy card. The beef between Dr Disrespect and Twitch began when the Amazon-owned site banned the two-time in the summer of 2020 and to this day, no one knows why. The dust settled when Doc took Twitch to court over the ban and a settlement was reached, but the bad blood definitely lives on and who better to fight the two-time then Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. As an added gimmick, if Dr Disrespect unleashes the violence, speed and momentum to beat Bezos, he would be unbanned on Twitch. Sounds like a must-watch fight for any fan of streaming. Pokimane vs Amouranth Amouranth has claimed the crown as the top female content creator on any platform with non-VTubers Pokimane and Valkyrae trailing behind. But who is the better boxer? It’s a war between hot tub streams and Valorant broadcasts. The two biggest female streamers on the planet putting their fists in each other’s faces. Who wouldn’t pay to see this? It’s not like this duo has any issues with each other, but sometimes respect for your opponent can make for a good match and hopefully that’s what happens if they square off. Bryce Hall vs The Island Boys Despite this fight being agreed upon, it still hasn’t happened, but it absolutely should. A two-on-one boxing match may seem like a ridiculous bout, but if all parties want to make it a reality, then it should absolutely happen, especially with the three feuding with each other. Admittedly, The Island Boys’ popularity has fallen off a bit since this proposed fight, but for anyone who wants to see them potentially get KO’d, this will definitely sell some tickets. Alexandra Botez vs Andrea Botez – chess boxing The Botez sisters may be the queens of chess on Twitch, but how would they handle the heat in a boxing ring? Luckily, the very real sport of chess boxing can help us answer that question. The rules are simple: Compete in alternate rounds of boxing and chess until someone wins by KO, referee stoppage, checkmate, or their time runs out. If this sounds like a wild battle between sisters, that’s because it would be. And it would be a great way to incorporate chess boxing into the scene. Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather 2 Okay, this really just includes a single influencer, but it’s too good to pass up. The first fight between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather was, as Joe Rogan described it, a freak show. With bad blood over Paul failing to receive his payment for the fight, why not run it back one more time? Of course, you’d need some sort of guarantee that Logan actually gets compensated for this one, but considering there’s no one else he’d rather slap than Floyd, if you can get him the money, chances are he’d agree. Hasan vs Andrew Tate The beef between Twitch star Hasan and Andrew Tate exploded after the socialist commentator was kicked off a debate against the former kickboxer. At this point, Andrew Tate has the internet rallying against him amidst a slew of charges and controversial statements, so there’s no doubt Hasan would be a fan favorite. If Hasan is able to KO Tate, it could be a moment that would live on in internet history for many years to come. Jake Paul vs KSI This has to be the single most-requested fight in the entire influencer boxing game. Two undefeated combatants with a storied rivalry finally deciding who is the best of the best. After Jake Paul secured victories over former mixed martial artists Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, he tried to match up against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr, but both fights got canceled and not many people seemed to be showing much interest in them. All this can change with a fight against KSI where either Paul will avenge his brother’s losses or the British rapper can prove that he’s the real top dog in the influencer boxing world.

  • Devious Lick TikTok challenge faces more backlash as full ‘prank’ list is revealed – Dexerto

    Devious Lick TikTok challenge faces more backlash as full ‘prank’ list is revealed Unsplash: MChe LeThe backlash against TikTok’s viral ‘Devious Lick’ challenge is continuing, after a list containing a different school ‘prank’ for every month of the year started doing the rounds on TikTok. TikTok is known to be a place full of wild trends, but some of them have definitely caused more of a stir than others. The most troublesome trend to come out of recent weeks has undoubtedly been the ‘Devious Lick’ trend. The challenge involves students stealing increasingly bizarre objects from their schools, such as soap dispensers, printers, and even ceiling tiles. This trend naturally got a huge amount of backlash from schools, and TikTok even went on to ban it from the platform in an attempt to combat it. We expect our community to create responsibly – online and IRL. We’re removing content and redirecting hashtags & search results to our Community Guidelines to discourage such behavior. Please be kind to your schools & teachers. pic.twitter.com/mIFtsYwFRb — TikTokComms (@TikTokComms) September 15, 2021 But it looks like people aren’t just going to stop there. Shortly after, teachers began reporting a planned ‘smack the teacher’ challenge for October, reminding students that participating in such a challenge would be considered assault. And that’s still not even the end of it. Now, people have been spreading a comprehensive list on social media that details every challenge planned for the months ahead, warning teachers of what might be to come. Future challenges include, “sleep in and be late,” “jab a breast,” “flip off front office,” and several more. [PARENTS & TEACHERS BEWARE] We’ve been talking a lot about this “”devious lick”” challenge from TikTok where students are destroying school bathrooms. Now, we are seeing each month’s challenge. This list is being shared by teachers trying to raise awareness. @wcnc pic.twitter.com/tTvuMGWGA2 — Sarah French (@SarahSFrench) September 28, 2021 Many people, from teachers to other TikTok users are calling out the inappropriate nature of the challenge, and are trying to spread the word in order to raise awareness and help crack down on the trend. One user said the whole thing is “getting out of control,” with another commenting, “it’s scary how many of these are physical/sexual assault.” With TikTok banning the Devious Lick trend from the platform, it looks like they could potentially be set to do the same if any of the above monthly challenges end up taking over—though, whether anyone actually participates remains to be seen.

  • DeviantArt users furious as site automatically adds art to AI generators – Dexerto

    DeviantArt users furious as site automatically adds art to AI generators DeviantArtDeviantArt users were left furious after the iconic art site launched new AI tools and controls, and automatically opted everyone’s existing artwork into AI datasets and prompts DevianArt has been around for over 20 years and is still one of the most popular websites to upload your own custom artwork so it can be enjoyed by thousands of others. On November 11, DeviantArt launched more new artificial intelligence art tools and controls for its artists, including the ability to keep their art from being automatically added to AI datasets and prompts. Users were left furious after the announcement, as the only way to do it is to go through all of your uploads individually. DeviantArt users furious as site adds art to AI prompts According to their announcement tweet, the new AI tools and controls include DreamUp as a new tool to generate art, the ability to limit the amount of AI art in your feed, clear labeling, as well as the ability to remove your art from AI datasets and prompts. However, many didn’t like the fact that their art was automatically opted in by the company because the only option to remove everything is to opt out of every single one of your uploads manually. One user commented that it’s easier to delete their account than it would be to manually disable their art. “Until now it seemed that DA was one of the few who supported us artists… Disappointing is not enough,” they said. Another user replied that the move felt like a “slap in the face” and questioned why the site made the decision to include everyone’s creations in these datasets at all. “Ok, I’m sorry, but this feels like such a slap to the face and I’m honestly beyond upset and disappointed at such a move,” they explained. “I really don’t know why was there no thought in listening to the user base and the insistence on giving the green light for such a move was such a tone-deaf part of a platform that depends so heavily on its community.” Alongside the plethora of backlash, there are many users threatening to cancel their paid memberships. DeviantArt hasn’t responded to the criticism as of writing, but we’ll be sure to update you if they do.

    Developer runs limited-time sale for their game after a fan makes ambitious request Adobe StockAmerican video game publishers Devolver Digital conceded to one ambitious fan’s demand, after they expressed an acute interest in purchasing one of their titles. A fan reached out to Devolver in an email on January 6, where they asked the company to place their first-person shooter title, ‘Shadow Warrior 2,’ on sale. “I want to buy and play ‘Shadow Warrior 2,’ so please put it on sale right away,” the fan wrote. “Thank you. All the best, potential future purchaser.” Devolver Digital wasted no time conceding to the fan’s request – albeit with a challenging twist. “Sure thing, boss,” the studio replied. “You’ve got one hour.” The company placed a 75% off sale on the title for one hour, slashing its original price of $39.99 to a mere 10 dollars. “CUSTOMER SERVICE,” Devolver said of their sale, posting the fan interaction in a Tweet shortly thereafter. Other Twitter users confirmed the sale’s legitimacy, posting screenshots of the game’s price in the Steam store in awe of Devlolver’s ploy. Well I’ll be damned.

  • Detroit Lions Jamaal Williams becomes internet’s favorite football player for repping Naruto and Pokemon – Dexerto

    Detroit Lions Jamaal Williams becomes internet’s favorite football player for repping Naruto and Pokemon The running back for the Detroit Lions, Jamaal Williams, has captured the hearts of the internet after showcasing his love for Naruto and Pokemon during his recent football games. Despite not making it into the playoffs, Jamaal Williams has been a favored player in the NFL as of late due to his heartwarming antics. At the start of 2023, Williams found his name circulating internet subcultures after showcasing his interests on live television. A clip of a post-game interview of the running back went viral following a decisive victory over the Bears on January 1. Williams – wearing a Naruto headband and jacket – was asked a question he didn’t seem to care for. He responded, “I don’t care. I just want to play football and go home. But you’re holding me right now. I just wanna go home and play Pokemon.” The reporter then made a grave mistake by calling the game “Pokeman,” which Williams seemingly took offense to. “Pokemon,” he corrected the reporter, “Don’t do that. You can’t disrespect Pokemon like that. Pokeman?” However, this wasn’t the first time Jamaal Williams donned his Naruto gear, as he’s been spotted repping the Shonen Jump anime for several years. It wouldn’t be long before his love for “nerd culture” would show its face again. Jamaal Williams, the first Swagg Kazekage His interview outfits and references to Pokemon are likely picked up by many, but fans were confused on January 8, 2023, when Jamaal Williams’ player intro came on screen at the start of the Lions vs Packers game. Donning yet another Naruto headband, Williams would announce himself as the “first Swagg Kazekage. Leader of the hidden village of the den.” This refers to the Kazekage or village leaders in the anime Naruto, and “the den” refers to the lion’s den. Following the victory over his former team, the Green Bay Packers, Williams melted fans’ hearts after breaking Barry Sander’s touchdown record and dedicating the achievement to his recently passed great-grandfather. However, he wasn’t done making an impression on fans. As one user posted to Reddit, Jamaal Williams was spotted wearing a hat featuring the Gen 1 ghost-type Pokemon Gengar in yet another iconic post-game interview. The comments on each post were flooded with spectators claiming Williams is a “National treasure” or their “new favorite football player.” There were also those who claimed they would start watching the Detroit Lions just to see more of Jamaal. While sports franchises often seek ways to bring new eyes to their team, Jamaal Williams may just be the single best purchase the Lions have made in terms of viewer acquisition.

  • Destiny’s Kick channel suspected to be view botted as he hits insane viewership – Dexerto

    Destiny’s Kick channel suspected to be view botted as he hits insane viewership YouTube: DestinyYouTuber Turkey Tom has called into question the legitimacy of Destiny’s viewer count on his Kick livestream, tweeting out a picture of the political streamer sitting at over 173k views while playing Diablo 4. The topic of view-botting never really seems to go away in the live streaming space. Several streamers and even entire broadcasting platforms get accused of the practice. For anyone sure as to what view-botting is, it’s an act of using automated means to artificially inflate viewership on a platform, giving an illusion that one’s stream is way more popular than it actually is. Content creator Turkey Tom called into question the legitimacy of Destiny’s viewership numbers in a Tweet on July 2. “No way Destiny has a 170k live viewers right now,” wrote Tom in his Tweet, with an attached image of Destiny streaming Diablo 4 on Kick to 173,261 viewers. Destiny accused of being view booted as Kick viewership skyrockets While Turkey Tom did not directly accuse Destiny of manipulating his views, many of the replies to the original Tweet went straight to that conclusion. “He’s view-botting,” simply states one of the replies. “Man can’t even pull 17k. They aren’t even trying to hide it,” reads another comment in the same vein. Other users offered alternate explanations of the inflated number, such as pointing the finger at Kick’s internal workings of counting viewers. “To the ppl saying view botting – it’s not. Kick captures the viewer count in a shady way that artificially over-inflates the numbers. Doesn’t take your view out when you leave the stream and will add another if you join back, etc,” explains one user. Another theory is that a troll is going around live broadcasts and view-bots for large creators in an attempt to get them or the platform in trouble. “Doubt he’s doing it himself, probably someone trolling the Kick staff or something,” speculates yet another user in the thread. Curiously this is the same conclusion that Mizkif came to when he was accused of view-botting on Twitch in June of 2023.

  • Destiny weighs in on Hasan’s $3 million house purchase controversy – Dexerto

    Destiny weighs in on Hasan’s $3 million house purchase controversy Twitch: Destiny/HasanAbiLong-time Twitch streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonell has weighed in on the controversy around Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker’s recent house purchase, stating both sides have terrible takes. While it may have started out as a hobby for some to-level gamers, Twitch has become a viable career path for plenty of content creators. At the very top, some streamers are making millions a year and can afford a lavish purchase or two. However, popular political commentator Hasan found himself in hot water with some viewers after if it was revealed that he’d purchased a $3 million home in Los Angeles. The former Young Turks member has faced criticism from some who saw the purchase as hypocritical given that he identifies as a socialist. While others simply pointed out that it’s money, so he gets to make the decisions. Plenty of streamers have given their take on the outrage, with many hitting out at some of the comments Hasan received for buying his home – which he, himself, has fired back at. Many viewers have been waiting for a take from his long-time rival, Destiny, after a little while he’s finally chimed in. “If he wants to buy a big ass house, let him buy a big ass house, let him do it, that’s fine,” Destiny started. “But, I think it’s a little funny when a guy spends his whole life sh**ting on somebody like (Jeff) Bezos and signs an exclusive contract with Bezos so he can make millions of dollars to go a buy a mansion. That’s funny to me.” Bonell noted that he wasn’t sure if there was even a discussion to be had about it, but there are so many “bad arguments” from all sides that can easily fall apart and make a mockery of the whole situation, but ultimately he “doesn’t care” that much. Given the pair have butted heads on numerous occasions before, and things have gotten fractious between them, it wasn’t quite the fiery take that some may have expected. Regardless, while the initial outrage seems to have passed, Hasan is so in the spotlight because of his success on Twitch that the criticism will never stop, even if it is, as Destiny says, a “dogs**t argument” about things.

  • Destiny streamer SayNoToRage accused of harassment by multiple women – Dexerto

    Destiny streamer SayNoToRage accused of harassment by multiple women Instagram: saynotorageTwitch partner and popular Destiny streamer Lono ‘SayNoToRage’ has been accused of making unwarranted advances by multiple women who are coming out with claims of harassment. There are people from multiple spaces in the industry who alleged similar interactions with SayNoToRage in the past. These reports have been coming out into the fold since streamer ‘JewelsVerne’ briefly mentioned her story from 2017 which encouraged others to do the same. “All I can think about is the time I played an entire card game with a notable streamer’s hand on my thigh the whole time and was then basically asked for s*x,” JewelsVerne claimed. “Oh and it was Lono [SayNoToRage] so there you all go.” Jewels described her alleged experience as “mild.” Throughout the night, more women came forward with claims of accounts between them and the Destiny broadcaster. Sara Daniels Barrett, known as SarahDanielsTV, explained how she was allegedly “cornered and made uncomfortable enough to have blocked one particular incident out of [her] memory until it was jogged recently.” my experience doesn’t compare to many multiple friends who have had much more horrible things happen, but i myself was cornered and made uncomfortable enough to have blocked one particular incident out of my memory until it was jogged recently. https://t.co/PuhwyVpjd2 — Sarah Daniels (@SarahDaniels) June 20, 2020 She too explicitly named SayNoToRage, but also described her account as “mild.” Like Jewels, Daniels told her story to encourage others to share theirs and to provide a support system for those “who have heinous stories, which will come out when those women are ready.” Hours later, Twitch partner MindofSnaps did just that with a lengthy and detailed sequence of alleged events from 2018. Her letter was a comprehensive retelling of multiple scenarios in which SayNoToRage allegedly either denied or downplayed advances that MindofSnaps said left her “feeling violated and uncomfortable.” Someone has asked me to anonymously share their experience with Lono as well. In their words: pic.twitter.com/gOFvP6VJ0h — Jessica “”SheSnaps”” Bencomo (@MindofSnaps) June 20, 2020 In response to the mounting stories against SayNoToRage, Community Manager at Bungie Chris ‘Cozmo’ Shannon said that the developer’s partnership with the streamer had ended a long time ago, but there wasn’t any chance of it happening again. “Proud of the brave women in the community coming forward. This was their story to tell and it’s our job to listen,” Cozmo said. “Bungie hasn’t worked with Lono [SayNoToRage] in a long time and won’t ever again.” Bungie Community Team lead, David ‘DeeJ’ Dague, addressed the situation as it was developing, noting that people who fell short of their expectations would be “removed from our guest list.” In leading the Bungie Community Team, I have always insisted that we work with partners who can help us foster an environment where players can be excellent to each other. We insist upon that! Fall short of that ideal, and you will find yourself removed from our guest list. — David James Dague (@DJDague) June 20, 2020 SayNoToRage made a video response to the accusations. He attributed his decisions as ones stemming from his own troubled past, but took down the video moments later saying it sounded “insincere and [was] claiming to be a victim” himself. The streamer is expected to make another response to address the claims against him as more people are becoming aware of the allegations.

  • Destiny slams Hasan, QTCinderella & more for ‘axing’ him from streamer events – Dexerto

    Destiny slams Hasan, QTCinderella & more for ‘axing’ him from streamer events Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell slammed Twitch stars Hasan, QTCinderella, and more during a recent stream due to how he was “axed” out of events due to them not liking him. Over the last few years, Destiny has made a name for himself as an influencer that consistently provided takes on various topics from gaming to politics. He also found himself at odds with Hasan ‘Hasanabi’ Piker, a popular political commentator on Twitch due to Destiny’s alleged use of racial slurs on and off stream. The banned Twitch streamer also claims that he’s been “axed” from nearly all streamer events run by Hasan’s friends, including QTCinderella and Mizkif’s organization OTK. Destiny slams Hasan, QTCinderella, more During a stream on August 24, the unknown person Destiny was streaming with asked if his view of the world changed after switching to YouTube following his ban from Twitch. He explained that YouTube is great because it’s “huge and diverse,” while he claims Twitch only has one friend group. “It was really f**king annoying that I’d have QTCinderella or I’d have Hasan, this f*king bitch, and because either of these people doesn’t like me, I’m axed out of 95% of events,” he explained. “One or two of these motherf**kers don’t like me, and I’m just f**ked. That sh*t is so irritating to me.” (Clip starts at 5:57:22 in video) Destiny went on to claim that because Hasan networks with every other big streamer, he wasn’t allowed at any event that he was going to attend including events like QTCinderella’s Streamer Awards or anything put together by OTK. Hasan has not responded to Destiny’s comments at the time of writing, but we’ll be sure to update this article if he does.

  • Destiny set to lose Twitch partnership for “encouraging violence” – Dexerto

    Destiny set to lose Twitch partnership for “encouraging violence” Twitch: DestinyTwitch streamer Destiny may be on track to lose his partnership with the streaming service after he appeared to promote violence towards protesters, and chat logs emerged where he revealed Twitch had been in contact with him. Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell is a hugely popular streamer on Twitch, with over 550,000 followers on the platform. However, despite his popularity, his time on the platform has been by no means plain sailing, particularly over the course of the last year. Most recently on May 4, 2020, Destiny found himself banned for 24 hours thanks to some “accidental nudity” in one of his videos. This was just the latest in a long string of bans for similar accidents. However the trouble this time around has not stemmed from an accidental click, but for speech that Twitch have reportedly said to be “encouraging violence.” While Twitch themselves are yet to publicly give specific details over what exactly could cause Destiny to lose his partnership, many believe it to be the result of a clip that’s circulating where he discusses riots that have been escalating this year. https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/1299931264728924160 “The rioting needs to f**king stop,” he says, “and if that means white redneck f**king militia dudes out there mowing down dipsh*t protesters that think they can torch buildings at 10 pm, then at this point they have my f**king blessing.” Chat logs have emerged of Destiny saying “Twitch legal is emailing me telling me they’re revoking my Twitch partnership because of some unspecified ‘encouragement of violence’ using the platform.” Apparently Destiny is about to lose his Twitch partnership status over his statements on the riots pic.twitter.com/FyU4MePoWk — aupercat (@aupercat) September 11, 2020 At the time of writing Destiny has not yet been officially unpartnered, and remains part of the program. However, it is likely that more is going on behind the scenes, so we’ll just have to wait and see what comes from the situation.

  • Destiny roasts “dogs**t” League client after Riot Games donates him 250 subs – Dexerto

    Destiny roasts “dogs**t” League client after Riot Games donates him 250 subs Destiny/Riot GamesTwitch star Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnel was gifted 250 subs by Riot Games and, instead of thanking the company, he took a moment to share his true feelings about the League of Legends client. League of Legends has entered the preseason for Season 12, which brought tons of new items and content to Summoner’s Rift. The new season, paired with the success of the new Netflix show Arcane, has skyrocketed the game’s popularity, giving players tons of new reasons to dive into the MOBA title. Twitch streamer Destiny was streaming League of Legends on November 18, when he received a surprise donation from developer Riot Games. Destiny roasts League of Legends client The streamer reacted to the huge amount of donations and said, “League of Legends gave you 250 subs, wow, thank you my dude! Wait, that’s not an official League of Legends account, is it? Oh, is it?! Well, thanks!” Read More: Faker signs new T1 contract: “I’m back” – After Destiny realized he had the ear of an official Riot employee who donated the subscribers, he took a moment to share his thoughts on the game’s client. He told Riot, “Fix your dogs**t f**king client, that makes it so that people can spam you with f***king friend requests in-between games.” Destiny has been spammed between matches with countless friend requests and invites in the game’s client that has aggravated him while not in a match. Although the streamer was thankful for the enormous amount of subscribers the company granted him, he made sure they knew just how dissatisfied he is with the state of the client. Riot have taken heat for League’s client in the past and have noted just how difficult it is to make the client work for everybody who plays the game.

  • Destiny reveals why he’s been banned on Twitch yet again – Dexerto

    Destiny reveals why he’s been banned on Twitch yet again Instagram: @destinyPopular streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell was banned on Twitch on May 4 for the second time in 2020. The personality revealed what led to his channel being suspended yet again. Destiny is one of the most watched streamers on Twitch, although in the last year he’s had his fair share of trouble on the platform, resulting his account being banned numerous times. And on April 4, the American found his account suspended again, making it the second time in the last five months. The 31-year-old posted on Reddit to explain what went wrong. Related – How The Mob Turned Trolling into a Legit Career Destiny banned again on Twitch Viewers were informed of the ban on May 4 by the Twitter account ‘StreamerBans’ – a bot that tracks when Twitch partners are banned from the Amazon-owned platform. This isn’t the first time the streamer has found himself banned on the streaming service, as his channel had been suspended on January 9. The American had accidentally shown an inappropriate thumbnail while live. “”Are you serious? F**k this s**t,” he said in frustration at the time. ❌ Twitch Partner “”Destiny”” has been banned! ❌https://t.co/s744hhM11B#twitch #ban #thirdban #partner #twitchpartner 😁 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) May 4, 2020 Fans curious as to why he had been given the infraction were given a response on Reddit by Destiny himself who explained it was for showing too much while watching a YouTube video during a previous broadcast. “24 hour accidental n*dity in some YT vid,” he replied. While the suspension will only last a day this time, it is now the third time in a row that the streamer has found himself in hot water over the same thing. In November 2019, he had gotten in trouble for accidentally showing an image of fellow streamer ‘Alebrelle.’ Though, it should be noted it was an accident in each case. If nothing else, it shows how careful personalities have to be when going live on Twitch, especially when reacting to content for their viewers. Even a simple miss-click, or background image can net you with a sudden ban.

  • Destiny reveals he could finally be getting unbanned on Twitch & Twitter – Dexerto

    Destiny reveals he could finally be getting unbanned on Twitch & Twitter YouTube: Lex FridmanYouTube streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell revealed that he could be unbanned on both Twitch & Twitter soon after he formally appealed his Twitch ban and reached out to his connections to get his Twitter back. Destiny was permanently banned from Twitch back on October 7, 2021, after he revealed a leaked list of streamers who apparently are unbannable at Twitch. The 33-year-old political debater has also been serving a years-long suspension from Twitter for violating their community guidelines, leaving the list of social media platforms to exist on at a very short list. Since then, he’s stuck to streaming and uploading on YouTube. However, that soon may change. Destiny could return to Twitch & Twitter Bonnell revealed on November 23 that he has appealed his Twitch ban, and is currently waiting to see how the situation plays out. While it could eventually lead to getting his account back, nothing is certain yet. He’s also exercised his option to get his original verified Twitter account back. He claims he reached out to Lex Fridman, who has the ear of the company’s CEO Elon Musk, to allow him back on the platform. As Twitter has slowly unbanned tons of users on the platform, it’s more likely that his Twitter is restored sooner rather than later. “I think I am getting unbanned. I must be,” he said. Destiny pointed to a handful of creators that have smaller platforms than him that are getting unbanned. Although nothing is certain yet, Destiny seems optimistic he will be getting both his accounts back where he had hundreds of thousands of followers. However, his fate has yet to be decided by the Twitch & Twitter council which shall determine his fate. If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.

  • Destiny reveals his YouTube editor is paid almost half his revenue – Dexerto

While discussing the numbers, he revealed that he pays his YouTube editor, August, 45% of everything he earns.

Destiny reveals he pays his editor 45% of his revenue In a recent stream, Destiny opened up about his employees and how much he pays his YouTube editor. Speaking to a fan named Devin, he was asked about having shared his revenue shares. Destiny then revealed that he had given his YouTube editor part of his revenue shares a few years ago. He said: “In some ways, it was probably a mistake to do that, but it’s fine I guess. Like, the way that I view it is like, if my stuff grows, I’m still okay with my employees growing with it, but yeah.” “That implies to me that it’s a fairly high rate share,” Devin said. “Well yeah, it was like 40% plus, yeah,” Destiny revealed. “Holy s**t, that guy is swimming,” Devin laughed. “Yeah, there’s got to be a lot of people in his apartment building wondering like what drugs he sells or something,” Destiny joked. Appearing on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast recently, Destiny revealed he pays his YouTube editor, August, a total of 45% of his total revenue, which comes to over $30,000 per month. Opening up about this, he said that, although he made the deal several years ago, he doesn’t mind paying August that much as he believes he’d helped him earn the money.

  • Destiny responds to accusations that his fans got BadBunny banned – Dexerto

    Destiny responds to accusations that his fans got BadBunny banned Popular streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell II has responded to accusations that his fans were the reason Nicole ‘BadBunny’ was banned from Twitch. Streamers BadBunny and Central Committee were banned from Twitch for broadcasting their reactions to the U.S Democratic debate following DMCA claims on their channels. BadBunny has suggested Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell’s community could have been responsible for the ban. Bonnel did not take too kindly to the accusations, responding on November 23. Destiny and Central Committee both made an appearance on the popular Rajj Royale podcast when it was suggested that Destiny’s fan base could have played a part in BadBunny’s suspension specifically. Destiny quickly fired back and began listing some of the other possible reasons that could have resulted in the DMCA takedowns, explaining, “One, maybe there are other people that just really hate you and BadBunny.” “That’s entirely possible, both of you are f**king hateable people,” he said, provoking reactions from the other guests before continuing with his list, “Two, maybe somebody in your community filed a false flag, not very likely but it could’ve happened.” “Or three, you two were the only people who were re-streaming the debate that were large in the politics section,” Destiny concluded, highlighting the fact that it was easier to find their channels compared to others who were re-broadcasting it. “My stream was unlisted as were other people’s streams and other people were listed in the Just Chatting and Minecraft sections,” he explained. ”You and Nicole were the only two listed in politics – maybe NBC went to the politics section and they DMCA’d people they found there.” Both BadBunny and Central Committee’s channels have been unbanned since the democratic debate took place although they were vocal about their criticism over Twitch’s system for dealing with DMCA claims. Twitch has received some backlash in 2019 over their decisions when it comes to suspending its users, but in the case of BadBunny, the ban was a result of a DMCA claim, meaning Twitch is obligated by law to remove the offending material.

  • Destiny leaks his “unhinged” drunk DMs to LilyPichu – Dexerto

    Destiny leaks his “unhinged” drunk DMs to LilyPichu YouTube: Delphine’s Circle / Instagram: lilypichuPopular streamer Destiny couldn’t stop laughing after exposing his “unhinged” drunk DMs with fellow broadcaster LilyPichu during her visit to TwitchCon in San Diego. Destiny is a popular streamer on YouTube, who often broadcasts debates with other streamers or political commentators. Although Destiny has been known to poke the hornet’s nest from time to time, he’s a staple in the streaming community and is often on top of the scene’s biggest drama — something Pokimane noted during one of her recent streams. After checking out Poki’s comments about him during one of his own broadcasts, Destiny felt the need to do a “real exposé” on himself, deciding to share his hilarious drunk DMs with fellow streamer LilyPichu. Destiny shares hilarious “drunk” DMs with LilyPichu According to Destiny, Lily had visited San Diego for TwitchCon, and he really, really wanted to hang out with her… but says they were likely both pretty drunk at the time. “Lily came to San Diego and went to the zoo. I was begging her all night, ‘Lily, please. Lily, where are you? Lily, I wanna meet you,’” Destiny explained. “And Lily said, ‘F**k you.’” “I’m reading over my DMs. I am unhinged!” he continued, unable to control his laughter at the situation. “I think I’m just really drunk. I think we were both trying to call each other, but I think we were both drunk.” (Topic begins at 0:30) He pulled up a screenshot of their message history and instantly broke into laughter, showing off an exchange rife with crying emojis and hearts. “Are you coming back?” Destiny asked in the messages, followed by a series of emojis. “I’m leaving,” Lily replied. “Tonight.” Destiny apparently tried to give her a call, but she didn’t pick up, prompting him to reply: “Dude, you are seriously ignoring my calls.” Lily then attempted to call him, but like ships passing in the night, their attempts at connecting failed. Destiny couldn’t help but find the interaction hilarious — and neither could his chat, who didn’t hold back on giving the streamer a few “bruhs” in response. Right now, Lily is enjoying her new exclusive streaming contract with YouTube, which she signed back in July after a decade on Twitch.

    Destiny hits back at backlash after “racist” IShowSpeed comments surface DestinyDestiny has hit back at the backlash he’s received after comments he made on stream about “black zoomer streamers” while namedropping IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat. A clip of IShowSpeed from his World Cup stream surfaced on December 6, which garnered backlash from people on Twitter claiming his comments were racist. A Chinese fan approached him on stream and he replied screaming Japanese at them. YouTube streamer Destiny reacted to the clip during his stream later that day. He said: “Is this the Kai Cenat guy? Oh, this is the Speed guy. Ok. There’s like this whole new legion of like, black zoomer streamers. “For as much as they talk about how all white people did was scream at the camera, I feel like that’s all these guys do. I don’t know if they have more content, but holy sh*t.” Kai Cenat responded to Destiny’s comments, claiming that he is “clearly a racist,” prompting the creator to hit back during his next stream. Destiny hits back at backlash over “racist” comment On December 8, Destiny responded to the backlash on stream, explaining that he’s “bored of the race card sh*t. “The w/l community playing the race card all the time, like, I get it, you’re black and that’s tragic I guess but I don’t care that much. It’s boring as f*ck to me,” he explained. “Some of these exploding black online communities have been some of the most homophobic places I’ve been to. I feel like I’m back in white communities from 2012.” “For me to jump in here and be like ‘You’re racist,’ it feels so beneath me to even jump into that sh*t. I just super don’t give a f*ck.” At the time of writing, nobody has responded to Destiny’s latest comments — but we’ll be sure to update if they do.

  • Destiny, Hasan and TriHex banned on Twitch after democratic debate stream – Dexerto

    Destiny, Hasan and TriHex banned on Twitch after democratic debate stream Three popular Twitch streamers, Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonell, Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker and Mychal ‘TriHex’ Jefferson, have been suspended from the platform after they broadcasted the democratic debate from CNN on their livestreams. The streamers have been banned for 24 hours, following a DMCA claim from Time Warner, which owns CNN under its WarnerMedia News & Sports arm. TriHex explains that Twitch was forced to hand out the punishment in response to a legal claim made by Time Warner. Was DMCA Copyright Strike’d by Time Warner/CNN. It’s a 24hr suspension to my Twitch Channel that ends tomorrow night (thankfully). As DMCAs work, this wasn’t @Twitch doing anything, but a forced reaction due to CNN’s legal team. Modern USA—where politics are private property. — RIP Etika :pray: (@trihex) August 1, 2019 It’s unclear if these were the only channels struck down by the ban, as a handful of other channels also streamed the debate. TriHex at first suggested that the bans were contrary to Twitch’s attempts to broaden the content on the platform encourage “progressive coverage of political content”. So much for progressive coverage of political content and diversifying the content Twitch offers. Me, @hasanthehun & @ModalSevenths all suspended. More details when I get a bit. For now, my channel is offline by force… — RIP Etika :pray: (@trihex) August 1, 2019 TriHex was also critical of the ‘privatization’ of such a crucial political debate, arguing that it should be available widely in the public domain. (Not in denial that the broadcast isn’t CNN’s property. But am sad that something *like* Democratic Primary Debates/Coverage can be privatized and AREN’T public somewhere like C-SPAN or generally agreed beneficial to belong to Public Domain) — RIP Etika :pray: (@trihex) August 1, 2019 Hasan claims that Twitch suspended every partnered channel who had broadcasted the debate, even with their own commentary alongside, due to the DMCA claim. Fellow streamer Asmongold criticized Time Warner and CNN for the decision to strike the channels streaming their debate, arguing that it impeded the aim of trying to involve more people in the political process. Imagine trying to involve people in the political process of choosing a president and being DMCA’d by a private corporation Great to see late stage capitalism in action — Zack (@Asmongold) August 1, 2019 The streamers will have their channels reinstated, but may be left with a strike against their account. TriHex and Destiny have both been banned from the platform previously, each for using a homophobic term, Destiny in July 2018, and TriHex in October. Hasan was banned in July 2019, for using his phone while behind the wheel of his car, while live, but was later unbanned on the same day. Repeated strikes can lead to increasingly lengthy suspensions, and potentially even a permanent ban from the platform.

  • Destiny has a hilarious ‘explanation’ for Kanye West’s social media purge – Dexerto

    Destiny has a hilarious ‘explanation’ for Kanye West’s social media purge Popular Twitch streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell gave a humorous explanation as to Kanye West’s recent social media deletion during a Minecraft stream. The streamer cited his previous debate with the now-convicted felon Martin Shkreli, and joked that Kanye West had reached out to him following their discussion. Read More: Jake Paul teases next boxing opponent, reveals motivation behind crazy pranks in Shane Dawson docuseries – Destiny then said that he attempted to use Kanye’s fame to get his Twitter account unbanned, but noted that Kanye’s efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. “When I did the debate with Martin Shkreli, Kanye West saw that and then he reached out to me via email,” he said in a totally serious tone. “I asked him if he could get my Twitter unbanned and he said that he reached out… and contacted some of the Twitter staff to get me unbanned, but apparently they didn’t know the answers. I didn’t really understand that.” However, Destiny and Kanye appear to have a close relationship in this fictional universe, as Destiny said that Kanye had deleted his social media in solidarity with the streamer’s Twitter ban. “Then he said that, until I got unbanned, he would delete his Twitter out of solidarity for mine,” he joked. “I thought that was kinda cool.” Kanye West – who now wishes to be known as Ye – deleted his Twitter and Instagram accounts after receiving criticism for stating that the United States Constitution’s 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery, should be abolished. His controversial performance on SNL also garnered him ample disapproval. This isn’t the first time Ye has deleted his accounts, though, so the rapper could very well make a return after the heat has died down.

  • Popular Streamer ‘Destiny’ Fires Back on Thorin’s Opinion of Fortnite at the Stockholm Esports Awards – Dexerto

    Popular Streamer ‘Destiny’ Fires Back on Thorin’s Opinion of Fortnite at the Stockholm Esports Awards Popular streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell took a look at Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields’ comments during the Stockholm Esports Awards – and he wasn’t happy with what the caster had to say. Thorin, known as ‘The Esports Historian’ due to his extensive game knowledge and longtime involvement in competitive gaming, went on a tangent during an interview at the Esports Awards. He roasted the CS:GO FACEIT London Major as well as Fortnite, insinuating that the game is for children. Thorin was asked if Fortnite would make a decent esport, as opposed to legacy titles like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike. He didn’t seem to think so. “I’m not 12, so I’ve never played that game.” Destiny watched the clip with a hand covering his face in embarrassment. His comments on the video expressed shame at Thorin’s opinion on the matter, and that his job as an esports commentator rendered his statement hypocritical. “My face, when your job is a professional video game commentator, and you make fun of how old other people are for playing fucking video games.” He also questioned Thorin’s passion for the games he commentates. “My fucking face when you don’t even play the video games you fucking commentate.” Thorin’s opinions that night were blazing hot. When asked about what the future of esports, he threw major shade on the FACEIT Major. “Not much, to me – again, shout out to FACEIT… I might put in an appearance, if I can get a ticket. Anybody got a ticket, any scalpers making an appearance? No? Nobody’s going anyway, are they?” Thorin’s responses echo his previous criticisms of the competition. FACEIT is taking place at London’s Wembley Arena, and will span from September 5 – 23.

  • Destiny explains why he’s been banned on Twitch again – Dexerto

    Destiny explains why he’s been banned on Twitch again Popular streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell has had his channel on Twitch suspended again after accidentally showing an inappropriate image during a live broadcast. While streaming live to your audience can cultivate relationships and create hilarious moments in real-time, broadcasting also comes with a significant risk, as one slip up or misclick is beamed live to the world before you even have a chance to react, often leading to punishments for those who find themselves on the wrong side of these incidents. Showing anything that breaks the rules likely to earn you a suspension of some sort, and it appears that streamer Destiny has fallen foul of this scenario for a second time, with his account getting taken down on January 8. Why was Destiny suspended? News of Destiny’s Twitch ban broke on January 8, when the StreamerBans Twitter bot posted that his account had been taken down for a third time. ❌ Twitch Partner “Destiny” has been banned! ❌https://t.co/s744hhM11B#twitch #ban #thirdban #partner #twitchpartner ? — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) January 10, 2020 Many were confused as to why the streamer, who regularly plays League of Legends alongside a variety of other titles, had been issued with another punishment, however, the 31-year-old had actually revealed the reason in his Twitch chat the moment he received the email informing him of his impending suspension. According to Destiny, Twitch banned him for showing an inappropriate “thumbnail” on his screen for “like [half a] second,” something which breaks the site’s Terms of Service. “Are you serious?” he asked, clearly frustrated by the situation. “F**k this sh*t.” This isn’t the first time he has been banned for showing an inappropriate image on stream, with Destiny receiving a three-day ban back in November 2019 for a similar incident. How long is Destiny’s ban? While his last suspension for an incident like this lasted 72 hours, Destiny confirmed that he would only be gone for 24 hours this time, a significantly shorter period for his fans who won’t have to wait days to see their favorite streamer back in action. With the 31-year-old’s Twitch ban coming into effect late on January 9, Twitch viewers can expect to see him live again towards the end of Friday, January 10 when his ban lapses, or on Saturday, January 11.
