Destiny explains why “brown noser” Ludwig doesn’t like him Twitch: Destiny, LudwigTwitch streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell has called Ludwig a “brown noser,” saying his fellow streamer doesn’t like him because of QTCinderella and Hasan’s feelings towards him. Destiny is hugely popular on Twitch, with over 687,000 followers on the Amazon-owned website. He’s gained popularity over the years for his political commentary as well as games like Dungeons and Dragons. However, despite his popularity, his time on the platform hasn’t been exactly smooth sailing. Twitch took away his partnership in September 2020 due to “encouraging violence,” as well as being banned the following April after a guest flashed an inappropriate image on stream. On November 14, after hearing Ludwig Ahgren talk bad about him on stream, Destiny explained that he believes Ahgren is just a “brown noser” that hates whoever his friends dislike. Destiny explains why Ludwig doesn’t like him During his November 14 stream, Destiny opened Ludwig’s stream to hear the creator bad-mouthing him while talking about a local Super Smash Bros event. Ludwig explained: “A couple of streamers are there by the name of Destiny and Malena. They are at a Smash event doing IRL speed dating. They’re not affiliated with the event in any way, I think they just booked a part of the venue to do speed dating. “The only reason I know this is because they have two goons roaming around trying to sign smashers up to do speed dating, and went up to my friend. Then they explained it was with Destiny the streamer.” Ludwig continued on to seemingly mock Destiny for trying to do “anything for content” before ending his statement. Destiny continued his stream while at home, and minutes later explained why he believes Ludwig doesn’t like him: “Sorry, if you wanna know why Ludwig doesn’t like me, its because QT hates me because her friends hate and because Hasan hates me, and Ludwigs a brown noser or whatever. “We’ve literally never had a negative interaction together.” Destiny didn’t seem to be too bothered by the comments. Right after he explained why he believes Ludwig hates him, the streamer went right back to the game he was playing with his friends.

Destiny embarrasses Pokimane and Hasan amid relationship rumours – Dexerto
Destiny embarrasses Pokimane and Hasan amid relationship rumours Pokimane, Destiny, Hasan – TwitchTwitchCon Europe saw the appearance of many major streamers on the platform, including the likes of Pokimane, Sodapoppin, xQC, and more – but one streamer felt humorously slighted by other broadcasters at the event. Popular Twitch streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell let slip some potentially sensitive info in an attempt to embarrass both Pokimane and Hasan during an episode of the ‘Scuffed’ podcast on April 18, where he recounted his experience at the convention. “I had a whole day with my boy Jake,” Destiny began. “…there were a couple of other real-life friends I wanted to meet. I don’t wanna name names, but it was Pokimane and Hasan, who stopped responding to my messages at night. Apparently they were too busy doing fun things.” Pokimane’s hilarious response to the callout Destiny’s statement incited a wave of shock and laughter from those assembled in the stream, with Pokimane making a vain attempt to dissuade the implication that she and Hasan had engaged in a tryst at the event. “Wow!” Pokimane exclaimed. “Don’t make me screenshot our whole convos. …actually don’t screenshot our convos. I will say, I asked to hang out with you on numerous occasions.” Hasan went on to imply that he, too, had asked Destiny to hang, only to be met with “radio silence” – leading to a hilarious 2 v 1 debate between the three streamers as to who left whom on read. Pokimane’s mysterious dating life This wouldn’t be the first time Pokimane and Hasan have been accused of being in a secret relationship, either; in fact, one viewer in Pokimane’s stream left a donation message that claimed she had visited Hasan’s apartment, alleging that they lived in the same apartment complex as the streamer. While Pokimane appeared to brush off the message with a laugh, that didn’t stop fans from speculating that the two were seeing each other – but Hasan isn’t the only streamer Pokimane has been accused of romancing. Popular streamer Fedmyster has also been shipped with Pokimane, as the two are good friends who both live in the Offline TV house with other broadcasters – however, Pokimane has never confirmed a relationship with neither Fed nor Hasan, leaving fans in the dark as to her current relationship status. Pokimane’s trip to TwitchCon EU was preceded by her stint in Paris with streamer JakeNBake, which saw a slew of hilarious moments and an eventual, emotional end to her journey.

Destiny claims Trainwreck offered him $100k following Twitch ban – Dexerto
Destiny claims Trainwreck offered him $100k following Twitch ban Twitch: Trainwreckstv/ YouTube: DestinyVeteran content creator Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnel has revealed that he received a generous offer from popular gambling streamer Tyler ‘Trainwreck’ Niknam after being permanently banned from Twitch. Having begun streaming in 2011, Destiny is considered one of the pioneers of the streaming community. Although he started his career streaming Starcraft II, he later became renowned for his heated political and social commentary. However, he found himself regularly in hot water with Twitch and faced numerous suspensions for some of his controversial comments. It all came to a head in March 2022 when Destiny was banned from the Amazon-owned platform for good. Understandably, the news came as a huge blow for Destiny who set his sights on YouTube. Although, one of his fellow streamers Trainwreck was quick to show his support following the ban. Trainwreck offered Destiny $100k after ban On May 23, Destiny claimed that following on from his ban Trainwreck contacted him and offered him $100k to support himself. “When I got banned on Twitch. Train DM’d me and offered me $100,000,” Destiny claimed. Although Trainwreck insisted that he “really should” take the money, ultimately Destiny rejected the offer. He was nonetheless blown away by the kind gesture. He added: “I legitimately 100% think that he would have given me that money. I haven’t talked to him in a while, sometimes we’re on the shows we fight or whatever but […] I thought that was a really friendly extension of goodwill.” Timestamp 5:56:35 Destiny stated that he was reluctant to share the news at first as he didn’t want “people hitting [Trainwreck] up for money.” However, he soon changed his mind after Trainwreck revealed how much money he’d donated to fans in his career having pulled in huge amounts of cash through his gambling streams. Destiny might have turned down Trainwreck in the end, but he was clearly touched by the “cool gesture” from his fellow streamer, even though they hadn’t “actively talked” to each other leading up to his suspension.

Destiny claims FaZe Clan knew about ‘shady’ crypto deals and covered it up – Dexerto
Destiny claims FaZe Clan knew about ‘shady’ crypto deals and covered it up Twitch: Kay / DestinyTwitch star Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell II claims FaZe Clan knew about its member’s cryptocurrency ‘pump and dump’ activities the entire time, insisting there’s “no way” they just passed on the deals without telling them. FaZe Clan members Kay, Jarvis, Nikan, and Teeqo, were all involved in a cryptocurrency ‘pump and dump’ scheme that saw them promote a controversial altcoin and subsequently ‘dump’ their investments shortly after. After it gained traction on social media and people started calling them out for it, FaZe Clan released a statement claiming they had “absolutely no involvement” in the activities. They removed Kay from the organization and suspended the others. Banks also distanced himself from the drama. However, Destiny made the bold claim that he “knows for a fact” they knew about it all along and urged them to “sue him” if they don’t like it. “All of FaZe knew about [the cryptocurrency pump and dump] the entire time. If you don’t like it, sue me,” he said. “I know for a fact every motherf**ker in this team knows exactly what’s happening, so it’s funny for them to kick people out and [claim they] had no idea.” “I guarantee you that they’re selling these deals to their teams and telling them, ‘It’s cool, all you need to do is buy and sell immediately after. It’s all good, dude. You’ll make a ton of money.’” “There’s no way they’re just passing these deals on [and telling them to] figure it out.” Like most matters involving Destiny, fans had mixed reactions to his comments. Some hope the organization would hold him accountable and sue him over the claims. Others who think he’s telling the truth commended him for bringing more light to the situation. FaZe Clan hasn’t responded to the allegations.

Destiny calls out Hasan Discord for “spamming” racial slurs about him – Dexerto
Destiny calls out Hasan Discord for “spamming” racial slurs about him YouTube: Destiny / Twitch: HasanAbiYouTube streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Borell took a moment in his stream to directly call out users in Hasan Abi’s Discord server, accusing them of using racial slurs about him, and in particular the nationality of his parents. Destiny and Hasan have had a long-standing feud, the result of many political and non-political debates, with the pair rarely associating with each other now. Although they have gone their separate ways, particularly since Destiny’s move from Twitch to YouTube, they still often fire shots at each other while live. On September 22, amid the waves of streaming drama, Destiny directly called out users in Hasan’s Discord server, showing screenshots of the use of racial slurs, which Destiny claims are directed at him. “If you happen to be a member of Hasan’s Discord, and you ever feel like reporting this place racism… For some reason, they find it funny and hilarious to spam a whole bunch of racial slurs, related to me in their Discord. “If you happen to be a member in there, go ahead and report the server to Discord. I don’t know if they would ban them or not, but I personally think racism on the internet is super not cool.” “I know that Hasan was already banned one time from Twitch, for being racist, by using slurs against white people, or other people,” Destiny continued. “Just saying, I don’t know why they think it’s appropriate, in a moderated Discord, to be spamming slurs like crazy in there. Especially some that are directed toward me, or my nationality, or the nationality of my parents.” Destiny’s mother is Cuban-American. One of the terms used translates to ‘worm’, and is used as a pejorative against Cubans in the US in particular. Discord’s community guidelines call for users to report servers if they break the rule to not “organize, promote, or participate in hate speech or hateful conduct.”

Destiny banned on Twitch after opening inappropriate image on stream – Dexerto
Destiny banned on Twitch after opening inappropriate image on stream Popular Twitch personality Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell revealed that his account would be receiving a ban after he accidentally showed a nude picture on the streaming platform during his broadcast. One of the risks of interacting with your audience when streaming is that you are open to being trolled, or accidentally clicking something risqué by mistake. Even if it’s not intended, showing anything that breaks the rules can get you banned. Destiny learned this the hard way when he was browsing a Twitch partner’s Twitter page and accidentally showed a nude image of them which netted him with a suspension from the streaming platform. :x: Twitch Partner “Destiny” has been banned! :x:https://t.co/4WZbmzHxyn#twitch #ban #secondban #partner #twitchpartner :globe_with_meridians: — Twitch Partner Bans (@TwitchBanned) November 10, 2019 The popular streamer opened up to his audience a day before the ban went into effect during his stream on November 9, and informed them that his account would be getting a ban later that night. “I guess I don’t really care much, because technically I’m going out of town,” he prefaced. “But apparently I’m getting a 3-day suspension tonight,” he said, before calling it the “ultimate irony”, and asked his chat to guess what he did to get a ban, before he broke into laughter. Destiny then revealed that he had been banned for accidentally showing a nude picture of fellow Twitch partner ‘Alebrelle’ during a previous broadcast. “I’m actually so triggered. Because of the naked f*cking Alebrelle tweet that I opened!” he exclaimed. The Twitch star was browsing Twitter during a previous broadcast, and read a “body positivity” tweet which contained a nude side shot of the streamer sitting at a piano. Apparently this was enough for Twitch to give him a three-day suspension. While it’s unclear what the streamer meant by calling it ironic, Destiny and Alebrelle have had a negative exchange in the past, when the latter made some harsh comments on the former’s personal life. The suspension will only be for three days, though, and should serve as a lesson to any streamer to be careful what they look at during their broadcast – even sites like Twitter can be full of landmines that can land them a ban.

Destiny banned from Twitch after sharing personal information from data leak – Dexerto
Destiny banned from Twitch after sharing personal information from data leak Twitch, DestinyWell-known streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnel has had his Twitch account suspended again after mentioning a Twitch employee’s email following a massive data leak. Destiny is a veteran streamer on the platform, and this isn’t the first time he’s gotten in trouble. The creator had his partnership removed in 2020 after it was said that he appeared to promote violence towards protesters. During a stream on October 6, right after Twitch confirmed a massive security breach on its platform, the creator spoke about what he called an “unbannable” creator list. Destiny banned from Twitch While watching VODs of the creator as he was offline, fans started to report on the creator’s subreddit that his channel had disappeared. Many fans began coming up with theories to explain the sudden platform ban, but Reddit user Rinkeli shared this message that Destiny purportedly left in his website’s offline chat. The streamer allegedly wrote: “My Twitch account just got suspended for sharing personal information…???” Considering this message, many people brought up a part of his stream where he’d mentioned a leaked list of creators who are apparently unbannable on Twitch. This purported list shows several creators’ names alongside noted corporate emails of individuals to contact if they were found to be under violation of some sort. Destiny read one of the emails during the clip, and he believes that’s why he has received a ban. https://twitter.com/TheOmniLiberal/status/1446208014101331985?s=20 He tweeted: “Are corporate emails that go initial.lastname@corporation really considered ‘private information’ lol what,” just after he mentioned on his website chat: “I would expect every @twitch.tv domain email to be considered semi-public” If true, this would make Destiny the first Twitch streamer to be banned off of the platform for talking about leaked Twitch data. It’s unknown how long the channel ban will be, so we’ll have to wait and see when or if he returns.

Destiny banned from Twitch after guest flashes inappropriate image – Dexerto
Destiny banned from Twitch after guest flashes inappropriate image Twitch: DestinyPolitical streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnel has had his Twitch account suspended, following a bizarre incident where a guest on his stream flashed an image of Hunter Biden in a compromising situation. Destiny is a veteran streamer on the platform, but lost his partnership in late 2020 after it was said that he had appeared to promote violence towards protesters. He still streams regularly on Twitch, but has been forced into a temporary break after an incident with a guest. On his stream on April 28, Destiny was debating with a conservative commentator, who had at one point claimed to have the contents of Hunter Biden’s hacked laptop. Destiny guest risks ban During the stream, the guest at one point turns their phone screen to the camera, showing one of the alleged images of Hunter Biden with two women. Read More: Twitch “closely” monitoring Hot Tub meta – Clearly, this is against Twitch terms of service, and despite Destiny’s immediate reaction and quickly getting the content off-screen, it seems the damage was done. On April 29, Destiny’s channel was no longer available on the platform, due to a suspension for sexual content. It’s unknown how long the ban will last, but suspensions typically run from 24 hours to 7 days. For more severe violations of community guidelines, they can be as long as 30 days, or permanent if a repeat violation. At the time of his ban, Destiny has over 650,000 followers, and was averaging around 4,500 viewers on any given stream. Most of his streams are in the Just Chatting section, although he does also dabble in games. He has been a streamer since Twitch was Justin.tv, originally best known as a Starcraft streamer, before moving almost exclusively to becoming a political commentator and streamer.

Destiny and Hasan tensions flare up again over use of a “slur” on stream – Dexerto
Destiny and Hasan tensions flare up again over use of a “slur” on stream Twitch: Destiny, HasanAbiTwitch streamers Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell and Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker are at war with each other once again, with Destiny accusing Hasan of using a racially charged slur on stream. Destiny and Hasan don’t exactly have a history of getting along and have frequently found themselves at odds with each other. The latest incident between the two sees Destiny accusing Hasan of hypocrisy for his take on the word ‘Gusano’. This is a Spanish word that directly translates to mean ‘worm’ but seemingly has more sinister connotations in Cuba, with Destiny himself a Cuban-American. Destiny has called Hasan out on it, but the political streamer isn’t backing down. anyone who thinks gusano is a racial slur has to start calling it g word going forward. its identical to cracker, redneck or even karen. it represents a certain type of behavior/ political attitude etc — hasanabi (@hasanthehun) July 15, 2021 After listening to Hasan’s take on the term, Destiny wasn’t buying it at all and argued that the former was clearly in the wrong. “It just means worm?” asked Destiny after Hasan said that this means it couldn’t be a slur. “The word ‘negro’ is just black in Spanish. Or wetback just means sweaty back in Spanish. How stupid do you have to be to say something like this? “How many racial slurs just mean something? Or like the F slur, which just means ‘a bundle of sticks’. So why would someone say gusano instead of just calling them a worm?” Hasan did some digging through his chat logs and found Destiny in his chat telling him to “go back to Turkey” and calling him a “f**king retard.” Destiny responded to this saying that it was a “bad joke” that he “shouldn’t have made” — but that it was a poor example for Hasan to use. The rift between these two clearly remains, and Destiny and his viewers aren’t impressed with Hasan’s opinion on the use of the word.

Destiny and Adin Ross clash after Kick podcast meeting turns sour – Dexerto
Destiny and Adin Ross clash after Kick podcast meeting turns sour Kick: Adin Ross, DestinyDestiny and Adin Ross clashed repeatedly with eachother, after they both appeared on Trainwreck’s Scuffed Podcast. The two streamers, who are some of the largest content creators on Kick, met again during an episode of Train’s podcast. It featured the top creators on the platform, including xQc, Myth, and Nickmercs. The streamers began discussing relationships, marriage, and how having children could impact dating life, when Adin soon began asking Destiny questions about his marriage. The two had a back-and-forth in which Adin made fun of Destiny’s age and sexuality, while Destiny fired back by poking fun at Adin’s relationship with Andrew Tate. However, things really spiraled out of control after Destiny raised allegations of doxxing from Adin’s community, saying: “they’ve been posting pictures of my f*cking address and my family for the past two hours”, to which Adin responded: “That’s good.” Adin Ross apologizes to viewers after doxxing attacks on Destiny During his stream after the podcast, Destiny restated his opinion that Adin’s community should be “reported and banned” off of the site, encouraging his viewers to get them taken down. “That’s not even a hot take. It’s not for racial slurs or harassment, it’s a community full of people posting guns saying they’re going to kill me, and then posting pictures of my family. That whole community should be nuked off the f*cking internet.” Meanwhile, Adin apologized to viewers for “going down to that level” on his own stream, but pointedly refused to apologize to Destiny. He said: “I feel bad for that guy. I’m not apologizing for anything, but I just feel really, really bad for him. I shouldn’t really go down to his level, even though he is 40 year old. “I admit I shouldn’t have stepped down to that level, and I’m sorry to you guys. I’m not apologizing to him.” For more context on Destiny and Adin Ross’s previous arguments, check out the time they debated Andrew Tate’s impact alongside Sneako.

Destiny accuses Adept of “gold-digging” from xQc amid divorce drama – Dexerto
Destiny accuses Adept of “gold-digging” from xQc amid divorce drama YT: Destiny Instagram: AdeptTheBestYouTube streamer Destiny has accused Adept of “gold-digging”, hoping to claim some of xQc’s assets among a speculated divorce proceeding. A leaked filing suggesting that xQc and Adept are in divorce procedures has been leaked online. Neither side officially confirmed the information that surfaced, leaving speculation to run rampant. Addressing the controversy, Destiny presented a theory that the couple never officially married, but that Adept could be seeking a divorce on the grounds of “common-law marriage”. Destiny reacted to the information presented by Henry Resilient and shared his opinion on the situation on his January 24 stream. Destiny suggests Adept is “gold-digging” “I think what Adept is trying to do, is she’s trying to make an argument that she and xQc probably met the requirement for the common law marriage, so she’s trying to file for a divorce now,” Destiny said. “Because when she gets divorced from xQc she’s gonna be entitled to some sum of his assets that were accumulated during the duration of the marriage. That’s what she’s trying to do, gold-digging, unironically,” he speculated on stream. Reactions to Destiny’s take were split. “S**t dude. I could have told you that,” commented one user. While another agreed: “Common law and divorce settlements are for things like this, which while they can be abused, are usually a good thing. This situation is just gold digging in every conceivable way.” Others though, simply called it a “hot take.” Another viewer commented, “I start disagreeing with people when they say she was always a gold digger and that this whole time she only wanted his money.” Neither xQc nor Adept have made any statements concerning the rumors at the time of writing.

Destiny 2 streamer becomes the most-subbed solo channel on Twitch – Dexerto
Destiny 2 streamer becomes the most-subbed solo channel on Twitch GLADD/TwitchDestiny streamer Sean “GLADD” Gallagher has become the most-subbed individual channel on Twitch in February 2020, according to metrics tracking site Twitchtracker.com. Previously, the most-subbed individual streamer on the platform was former Overwatch pro Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, until GLADD moved ahead of his ranking on February 5. Even though he’s currently the most-subbed individual channel with 32,443 subs (at the time of writing), the channel with the highest amount of subscriptions on the site is GamesDoneQuick with 36,579. GamesDoneQuick is the top-subbed channel overall, probably in part because of the Awesome Games Done Quick charity event, which only just wrapped up on January 12, 2020. GLADD’s subs seem to almost entirely be paid, according to TwitchTracker, in contrast to GDQ, where over half of the subs were the free ones included in Prime. “You guys f*cking did it,” GLADD told fans on Twitter. “#1 most subbed individual Twitch channel, worldwide. Very watery-eyed right now.” “Thanks to all who’ve stuck around since day 1, and to those who just started tuning in,” he continued. “Life is all about the journey and it’s been quite a ride with YOU!” You guys fucking did it. #1 most subbed individual Twitch channel, worldwide. Very watery eyed right now. Thanks to all who’ve stuck around since day 1, and to those who just started tuning in. Life is all about the journey and it’s been quite a ride with YOU! Hamsters everywhere pic.twitter.com/hjMquYjuYL — Gladd (@Gladd) February 5, 2020 Unlike followers, Twitch streamers’ subscriber counts aren’t directly available to the public, and many fans have to simply guess at the number of subscribers content creators have gained while on the platform. Sites like TwitchTracker organize the Twitch’s top broadcasters by their subscriber count, splitting subs by type – and while their numbers do come with a certain margin of error, they have been fairly reliable, as seen when xQc made it to the top of the sub counts in October 2019. According to TwitchTracker, all of GLADD’s 32,443 were paid (that means no Prime subs) and, interestingly enough, 21,890 of those paid subs were gifted ones. Twitch allows users to purchase up to 100 subscriptions at once and gift them to other viewers on the same channel, which doesn’t make those subs less legitimate by any means – but is an interesting detail. xQc was right behind GLADD with 30,865 subs, followed by Summit1G in 4th with 30,500 subs. Surprisingly enough, streaming star DrDisRespect was all the way down in 8th, with 23,459 subs.

Dermatologist reveals you’ve been cleaning your beauty blender wrong – Dexerto
Dermatologist reveals you’ve been cleaning your beauty blender wrong TIKTOK: skinbydraziA dermatologist has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a simple hack to successfully cleaning beauty blenders. Dermatologist Dr. Azi (skinbydrazi) took to TikTok to reveal how you can properly clean your makeup sponges with an unexpected cooking ingredient. “Let’s check out the best way to clean your beauty blenders, which should be cleansed after every use,” she said in her video, which has gone viral with over 5.1 million views. She first rinsed the beauty blender with water, before washing it with soap and water. “Let’s try water and soap, which has a lot of surfactants to help dissolve the makeup and clean it,” Dr. Azi explained. The expert then showed the sponge, noting that soap and water “doesn’t do a great job,” as the makeup was still all over it. “So what’s the secret sauce?” she asked her followers. Dermatologist shares beauty trick Dr. Azi revealed that the most effective way to thoroughly clean and disinfect a beauty blender is by mixing hot water and soap with olive oil. “Oil attracts oil and helps to dissolve sebum from the skin,” she explained. “Oil and makeup, and that is what is going to remove and lift off that debris, it’s a winner.” Many viewers were surprised by this beauty hack and admitted that they never even wash their makeup sponges. “I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned mine,” one user commented. “I just buy a new one after like 6 months,” another added. “Don’t think I’ve ever cleaned my beauty blender I just replace them after every year,” someone else confessed. Others shared their own methods. “I use hot water and my face wash. Put it all over the sponge and rinse + repeat a few times until it squeezes clear,” one person wrote. “I clean mine every day after use with Irish soap. You just have to scrub it with the bar soap,” another said. “I put it in soapy water and put it in the microwave for like a minute,” a third shared, to which the dermatologist replied, “That’s a great trick too!!” For more entertainment news and other viral stories, be sure to check out our coverage.

Dental office worker warns against dangerous “veneer” trend – Dexerto
Dental office worker warns against dangerous “veneer” trend Unsplash: Benyamin Bohlouli/ TikTok: dani_bananniA TikTok from a dental office worker has gone viral after they warned users against the trend of becoming a “veneer technician”, claiming that it was both “illegal” and “dangerous”. The TikTok of a dental office worker has gone viral for warning users of the app against those claiming to be “veneer technicians”. The video has amassed over 6.3 million views and garnered over 523,000 likes on the social media platform already. Dani (dani_bananni) begins by replying to another video, in which another user claimed they were able to make $5,000 a day by being a Veneer Tech. They immediately respond to the user by stating that this practice is “100% illegal” and that we “need to talk about it before you fall victim”. Dani explained that the only people who are allowed to perform this sort of procedure are licensed medical professionals, who require at least eight years of medical school beforehand. “There is not a single person other than a doctor of dentistry who can perform veneers legally,” she continued onwards. The user explained that unlike fingernails or an eyebrow that grows back, filing down a tooth incorrectly can cause damage to your nerves and the tooth itself. “These are your teeth, and you can expose nerves and other things when you’re filing incorrectly,” the TikToker stressed. Dani begged people not to fall for this trap, as it’s “100% illegal and so dangerous for your natural teeth”. While acknowledging that dental care is expensive, she mentions that users should try Crest White Strips or go to your dentist and get custom bleaching trays or Invisalign. Users in the comment came out in droves to support Dani, claiming that they need authorities to arrest people who are claiming to be “Veneer Technicians”

Denise Richards slammed for “weird” OnlyFans collab with daughter – Dexerto
Denise Richards slammed for “weird” OnlyFans collab with daughter Instagram: samisheen, deniserichardsAs Denise Richards teases another OnlyFans collaboration with her daughter Sami Sheen, fans have taken to the internet to share how appalled they are. Denise Richards is well known for being the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen. She was also on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and is set to feature in the show’s upcoming season this October. However, fans may see another side of Richards before the RHOBH premiere, as she recently teased an OnlyFans collaboration with her teenage daughter. Since finding out that Richards would do an explicit collab with her young daughter, fans have taken to Reddit to share how shocked they were. Fans of Denise Richards can’t understand why she’d collaborate with teenage daughter on OF Denise Richards joined OnlyFans just one week after her daughter Sami Sheen made an account to share her content. The two began “working” in 2022 when Sami turned 18 years old. A year later, Denise is looking to collaborate with Sami, who is now 19. Though she doesn’t have sex on camera, Denise’s daughter Sami did mention in one of her TikTok videos that she regards herself as a “sex worker” saying, “I know you’re probably thinking — ‘How the hell are you a sex worker if you keep [your breasts] censored?’ But trust me, I have my ways. I still show pretty much everything.” So what could Denise and her teenage daughter potentially be up to on OnlyFans in the near future? Well, Denise took to her content page to ask her subscribers if they were ready for the collab, saying, “Should my mini me samisheen and me do another collaboration soon?” In the photo she posted to her subscribers, who pay a $25 monthly fee, Denise and Sami were wearing tank tops and blown-out hairstyles. After one subscriber saw her post, they took to Reddit to expose Denise. Many people then commented to share how wrong they believed the collaboration was, saying, “This is f***ing WEIRD beyond words and some of the sickest sh*t I’ve seen on this app. What does she even mean…. What do she and her daughter do on that app…?” Comment byu/in_ur_dreamz69 from discussion inBravoRealHousewives While another penned, “I can’t really come up with anything better to say than this is so gross and inappropriate.” As well as, “Is she, like, broke and can’t think of any other way to make money? I can’t get my head around the decision-making to do this. Damn.” Though only subscribers of Denise and Sami’s OnlyFans will have access to the potential collab, it’s clear that most fans of theirs think that a mother-and-daughter duo on OF would not be for them.

Demi Lovato tells Joe Rogan she was “minutes from dying” during relapse Joe Rogan/YouTubeSinger Demi Lovato revealed the close call that almost cost her her life during a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Lovato is undeniably a massive celebrity, but that attention means that the issues she’s faced throughout her career are constantly under the microscope. During episode #1625 of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Lovato revealed to fans and Rogan that, while she’s now sober, things almost ended tragically during her battle with drug addiction in 2018. While discussing how she used marijuana (one of Rogan’s favorite topics) to help her recover from serious drug addiction, the 28-year-old described the harrowing experience of her most serious overdose. “I overdosed on crack and heroin laced with fentanyl, and I OD’d in 2018 — that experience was a near death experience for me, the doctors told me I had 5-10 minutes before it was too late,” Lovato revealed. “I had three strokes, a heart attack, multiple organ failure…and I still have brain damage.” She explained that the brain damage includes hearing loss and even blind spots in her vision that even prevent her from driving. “So even your face, I see your eyeballs, but I don’t see your nose, your mouth or even your microphone,” she told Rogan after the host asked her what she could see. “It looks like I looked at the sun.” Topic starts at 4:30 for mobile users. Drug addiction is still taboo to discuss even though it’s a widespread issue, but Lovato seemed perfectly fine talking about her past issues with Rogan, and how she’s using her power and fame to try and help out others. While Lovato is still struggling with the effects of addiction even after recovery, like most addicts do, she’s managed to make it through the ordeal and is coming out with her seventh studio album “Dancing with the Devil … The Art of Starting Over” in April 2021.

Demi Lovato hits on TikTok star Vinnie Hacker and the internet is confused – Dexerto
Demi Lovato hits on TikTok star Vinnie Hacker and the internet is confused Instagram: ddlovato, Instagram: vinniehackerDisney channel star turned pop sensation Demi Lovato has garnered quite the fan following, and they’re pretty shocked by a recent Instagram comment about TikTok star Vinnie Hacker. Demi Lovato has become a household name all around the globe. From her days on the Disney channel to strutting her stuff on the worldwide stage, the 28-year-old has etched herself into music’s extensive history books. That hasn’t made her life easy, though, as on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan podcast the star opened up about her battles with drug addiction. Referring to her 2018 overdose as “a near death experience,” her story is heartbreaking. However, she’s back on her feet and has taken to Instagram, where a recent comment has left the internet bamboozled. Demi hits on Vinnie Hacker After a post from the internet’s supposedly most polarizing influencer, Nikita Dragun, showed her and TikToker Vinnie Hacker posing for a mirror picture, a comment from Demi has left the internet perplexed. She commented “wowow he is [hot] sis,” using the fire emoji to express her attraction towards the TikToker. View this post on Instagram The internet reacts to Demi & Vinnie While Demi’s comment has nearly 15k likes at the time of writing, a glance at the responses tells a different story. Instagram users have asked every question from “seriously Demi” to “wtf,” with one fan even saying “I thought you were a lesbian.” Others have called her out for “predatory behavior” due to the age gap between the pair. Demi is 28 while Vinnie is 18, putting a decade between them. This prompted one commenter to point out “he’s barely legal and y’all are both pushing 30.” Whether simply harmless flirtation or something more, the internet is totally confused by Demi’s attraction to TikTok’s newest kid on the block. Only time will tell if anything comes from it.

Demetrious Johnson on Twitch streaming, Warzone, and fighting Adriano Moraes – Dexerto
Demetrious Johnson on Twitch streaming, Warzone, and fighting Adriano Moraes Twitter: MightyMouse / ONE ChampionshipLegendary fighter Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson is aiming to further cement his legacy with a fight against Adriano Moraes. We caught up with him before the fight to discuss his career, his Twitch streaming exploits, and his take of Jake Paul vs Ben Askren. One of the all-time greats, DJ has mixed a career of fighting at the highest level of MMA, along with a passion for gaming and streaming. In this current day, when the world of influencers and fighting is mixing so heavily, we wanted to know his take on it all. Matt from Dexerto, joined by a very special guest now. Live from Washington, on the road and moving, Mixed Martial Arts legend, winner of the One Championship Flyweight Grand Prix, streamer, the list goes on. Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson. How are you doing? Good, thanks for having me. No worries. How’s everything going? How’s the training situation going? Are you still managing to get in? Yeah, the training situation is going phenomenal. We haven’t had any cases in our gym. That’s been great. We’ve been training in pods. we’ve got 5 days left until we ship off to Singapore and will go into quarantine there. Go out and compete, then get back home and enjoy life, man. So I’m excited! Let me just take a moment, I know you’re a pretty humble guy so I’d just like to remind everyone who we’re speaking to now. This is the inaugural UFC flyweight champion, held the belt and defended it 11 times in six years, I believe, beating Anderson’s (Silva) record is that right? That is correct. Now over at One Championship which obviously we’ll get into. The man many consider to be the greatest of all time. How does it feel when you hear that? When people say Demetrious Johnson, potentially the greatest fighter to ever live. Does that even come into your mind? Or do you try to put that stuff to one side? It doesn’t come to my mind, you know? I have a lot of great training partners that have gotten me to this point in my career, I have a great coach and I get tested all the time in the gym, to where, you know, you doubt yourself. And then when you got there, you find a competition and you’re very successful. It’s like, Damn, you know, that training, you know, I’m glad I went through hell, because when I come in the cage or the ring, it’s easy, but you know, all those praises and those accolades are all accomplishments I’ve, you know, made throughout my whole entire career, and it’s an honor to be considered one of those guys since there’s so many athletes out there trying for the position I’m in. But for me, you know, I try to stay a humble guy. I know that it only takes a couple of fights until everybody says, “you’re not the greatest of all time we were just playing” so you know, I take it as a compliment and I keep going for it. On your UFC career, before we move on, this fight taking place in one championship over in Asia, as you mentioned. A lot of great moments in that career. Is there anything that sticks out to you? For anyone who’s maybe not familiar, that you look back and you think “I can’t believe that was me?” When I was speaking to other people saying that we’re going to get to talk to you, the one moment that always comes up and stands out from me is that Ray Borg finish. But I’d love to know from you, is there one thing you look back on and you’ll think “God damn, that was me”? Yeah, I think that Ray Borg finish, in just like how long the span of my title reign was with 11 consecutive wins. You know, that’s pretty hard to do. I feel there’s only a handful of people out in the world who were able to do it, or who got close to it. And you know I think the next person on that list probably would Amanda Nunez, but yeah, I’m just grateful to be able to pull those things off, especially the Mighty Wiz-Bar. Nobody’s ever seen it before. And it was done like three or four years ago and people still talk about it. But, you know, went out there and displayed something no one has ever seen before. In terms of the UFC career then, now you’re at One Championship and you can look back at the landscape of that division now. Obviously, we’ve got Davidson Figueiredo over there really running things, you’ve got Brandon Moreno, Triple C constantly threatening with coming back. Is there anything that sits in the back of your mind and think ‘maybe that could tempt me, that’s something I would come back for’. Or do you feel like you closed that chapter now? I probably have closed that chapter. There are a lot of great athletes in that division, but I feel this chapter I’m on now fighting in one championship, traveling and competing as a foreigner in a foreign country, I absolutely love it. The traveling is a little much, but, it’s something I’m glad I’m able to do. I’ve got 4 or 5 years left on my career, and I want to be able to tell my children I fought on both sides of the world. I fought in America and was world champion, did a lot of great things on North American soil, and now, in the last part of Daddies career, I was over in Asia. Fighting in Japan, Manilla, Singapore, you know? I can say I’ve fought all over the world, instead of I’ve only fought all over North America. Well let’s get into the Asia stuff… I mean you think about it, it’s like, I could say yeah I’ve fought all over the world kids, I’ve won belts all over the world. The grand prix belt, the UFC belt, not too many athletes can say they’ve done that. Even world championship in the UFC you know? Jon Jones can never say he’s fought all over the world. He’s only won one belt in the UFC essentially. Yeah, I’m just grateful that I’m able to do that. You look at the Pride days, and the way people talk about Dan Henderson as the original double champ, obviously held the Pride belt. Did your coach Matt Hume talk to you about fighting in Asia? When you close this chapter and take off the gloves, you’ve done it in Asia as well. Yeah absolutely. I mean you already hit the nail with Dan Henderson. I didn’t know he was the first double champ, and I think Conor McGregor modernized that idea I guess you could say. I feel like those guys who fought out of Pride: Dan Henderson, Rampage Jackson, Cro Cop, Fedor Emelianenko, Fabricio Werdum, not all of them have been successful on both sides, but I believe Dan Henderson was the UFC Champion, I don’t know or not. I believe he held both the Pride and Strikeforce belts. That’s what it was, okay. I think being able to fight on both sides of the world just like those guys did, is something that when I take my gloves off, I can say I did what all the other greats have done too. I believe you’re now three fights deep into your One Championship career now. Talk to me about how those opponents have been? What did you expect coming over to fight these guys? Are they of a higher caliber than you thought you’d be facing? No, I knew the One Championship guys are tough. Here’s the thing. People put a label on UFC athletes, One Championship athletes, Bellator athletes etc. There are good fighters all over the world. There are good fighters who haven’t been signed to a big organization yet. I always have that mindset that there’s always bigger fish in the sea. You never know what you’re going to get when you get in there to fight another athlete. Some athletes might surprise you, some might show you something you’ve never seen before. Working with my coach Matt Hume, I feel like I’ve pretty much seen everything. The only thing now is longer and bigger guys, that’s the only thing. When I go over there I’m like “you guys are fucking big”. Not weight-wise, just long. So you fought in Japan and the Philippines and this one being Singapore. Are you able to spend any time in these places? Have you had any cool experiences culturally? Yeah, I mean, Japan is amazing. I love their culture, I love the anime. I love how some districts in their area are just dedicated to clothes shopping, gaming, anime. Manilla, I wasn’t really able to experience the culture because it was raining and for security reasons they kept us in the hotel. Singapore is amazing. It reminds me of a techy Seattle over in Asia. Beautiful places, very well manicured and strict. Twitch streaming career As I said at the top, you’re a man of many traits, also a streamer. Not one of these who are new to the game and just jumped on the platform, I remember you from the earlier days of Twitch. Talk to me about your gaming history. Were you a gamer from young? Yeah, I was a gamer from 4 or 5 years old playing original Nintendo with my mom. I grew up doing it, and now that I’m an adult, I can play as much as I want, but I’ll play different games. With me streaming on Twitch, it’s a way for me to interact with my fans on a different platform over something I’m passionate about. That’s the biggest thing. I can interact with the fans while playing video games. Has it started to feel like work yet? I know some streamers we work with, some of them can lose the love and passion for gaming. Does it still feel like when you were a kid, or are you bogged down by the chat? I still love gaming right now. It’s just trying to find a game that’s going to get me up and excited. When it comes to streaming, I always love sitting there and talking, but I couldn’t imagine doing it every single day, trying to find something to play and entertain. That’s where I think it can be kind of hard. For me, I’ve never wanted my stream to be like a thing where I feel guilty if I don’t play games. When I see streamers say “hey guys I’m taking the day off”. I’m like, just don’t? You don’t have to do that. You shouldn’t have to do that. If you don’t want to f**king stream… if someone wants to take a week off streaming, they shouldn’t have to tell the community? I don’t understand it. Everyone has their different things. I like to stream when I have the time and want to play. I saw you on Twitter petitioning for some new ideas and to branch out and to maybe branch out away from World of Warcraft. Do you have a genre you’re looking for? I wonder if some fans could drop some recommendations. I was asking Twitter how Destiny 2 is, people said it’s boring. I’m getting kind of tired of WoW, it’s always trying to keep up and do all this stuff. I think I’m gonna try Final Fantasy 14. I played that game back in the day and loved it. It’s just so story-driven, the PVP sucks ass on it though. That’s the bad thing about that game. We got Resident Evil 8 coming out, there’s another scary game coming out too but I forget the name of it. It’s just trying to stay busy and find content to play. You mentioned a lot of these fighters we’re familiar with moving over to Twitch now. You’ve got Rampage (Jackson) who’s been a bit of a mainstay, you’ve got Sean O’Malley on there, I’ve seen Max Holloway racking up Warzone wins too. You fancy a little MMA tournament? Do you feel like you could hang with those guys on Warzone? No, not on Warzone. That game is f**king chaotic. You get shot left and right, miles away and shit. Never been a big fan of Warzone. It’s fun and fast-paced, it’s good content to stream with fans too. Fans can get heated up, when you look at the Twitch numbers it’s mainly CoD right now. Jake Paul vs Ben Askren I just want to move on from gaming slightly on a tangent into the world of influencers and get your take. It’s always a fun one to bring up with fighters. Jake Paul vs Ben Askren and YouTube boxing generally. What’re your thoughts? I’m not sure if you’ve spoken publicly on it. Some fighters think it’s great for the world of combat, some guys are embarrassed by it. Where do you sit? I’m happy for those guys and they’re able to come over to our sport. They bring some attention, some eyeballs to it. They’ve got Snoop Dogg commentating it. Snoop brings an interesting flavor to commentating. He basically says whatever he wants, I love that. He’s very real. When Jake Paul and Ben Askren fight I think it’s gonna be a great fight. I think Jake is gonna give it to him. I feel like he’s more crisper on the fight, even though he’s never been a champion. He’s displayed he has knockout power. I’m looking forward to the fight, I’m excited about it. At the end of the day, you know, he’s probably selling more PPVs than some of the champions around the world. At the end of the day, it’s good for the sport. I completely agree. I think ultimately Ben and all the guys on the card, we have real fighters underneath them. Frank Mir is on the card. If you think what these guys will earn, particularly those at the tail end of their career. Everyone’s a winner. Everyone’s a winner, exactly. Everyone will make money. And that’s the thing, as athletes you want to make sure we can compete and make money, and be able to retire one day. I think it’s a fun fight for Ben Askren. He’s only got to focus on one discipline of fighting, you know, boxing. Which is good, you know, he’s not gonna beat up his body. He’s been doing this for a very long time. He has nothing to prove, it’s a fun fight for him. He’s just got done being retired, he had a shot at the UFC. Shit, why not box? Why not box a YouTube star. He’s displayed he can be dangerous, but he’s not going to have to worry about a flying knee to his face. Very true! Obviously, you’re still competing in MMA at One Championship. I mentioned at the top this Flyweight Grand Prix. When you traded with Ben Askren I think a lot of people thought we’d see you put straight into the title fight. For those who aren’t familiar with the Grand Prix format, it’s essentially an 8 man tournament. You and the other flyweights, essentially going into the quarter-finals, semi-finals & finals. How did you feel about that? Did you want the title fight straight away and this is something they pitched to you? How did that come about? No, I love the fact that I went into the Grand Prix to earn my title shot. Obviously, I feel if I’d have come to the organization and asked for a title shot I would have gotten it, but there’s no sense to it. Rush right into the title shot that if you win, you’re now fighting all the people in the division. Or if you lose it, then it’s like, you already lost to the champ so what do we do with you now? I got in the division, I got a Grand Prix belt, a beautiful belt, my favorite belt, it’ll probably be on my display. And now you’re going to fight for the world title too. So I’m super excited that I went that path instead of arguing for a title shot. I earned it. That’s great, especially going back to the different side that Asia offers. The Grand Prix is a legendary belt to win, you associate that belt with legends. Jon Jones has never won that sort of thing. Absolutely. Don’t get me wrong, I think if Jon Jones jumped in a world Grand Prix I think he would win one. Will he have the opportunity to do it? Probably not. Just contractually, and for him, I don’t know if it’s something on his list to do. Financially I’m sure he’s set. I think he’s set on winning the heavyweight title in the UFC. So for me, it’s a thing I grew up watching. Cro Cop winning the open weight Grand Prix. Those dream match-ups with Josh Barnett vs Cro Cop. Cro Cop vs Wanderlei. Just the whole thing. The brackets, who’s gonna win? I love that aspect. When I got the opportunity to do it for myself, I was like let’s do it! Talk to me about the guy you’ll be facing then. Adriano Moraes. What do you know about this guy? All I’ve seen billed is that this could be the biggest flyweight title fight of all time. How do you feel going into it? Is it business as usual as you said? How are you approaching this one mentally? Mentally, business as usual. Adriano is very tough. Great champion. I know he’s gonna bring it. A lot of people overlook him, I’m not overlooking him whatsoever. He has a great set of skills. People don’t know him because he’s never fought on this side of the world before in North America, and he’s been inactive for 2 years, sitting out for the Grand Prix and also [the global health crisis] put him on ice for two years. I’m looking forward to the fight, it’ll probably be One’s best flyweight fight. I’m gonna bring it, it’ll be straight fire. I think everyone’s really looking forward to this one. This’ll be your first time in One fighting scheduled for US primetime. Does that affect anything? Obviously locally you’ll be fighting at a different time, but also knowing the Mighty Mouse fanbase in the US gets to see this one. Does it have a different feel at all? Yeah, I’m actually excited it’s going to be on live TV on west and east coast times. I’ve always performed better on my own timezone. When I fought for the Grand Prix finals it was my own timezone. It was 10am Japan time, so I think this time I’ll be fighting around 10:30/11am Singapore time. It’s coming, it’s gonna be quick. We get there on the 3rd and I fight on the 7th, I get 4 days to acclimate and make weight. Boom, fight, turn around, come back home. I’m looking forward to the quick turnaround. Usually, I give myself 10 or 11 days to acclimate. I’m an athlete, I want to get in, get out, and get back to my kids so I can relax. If you win this one, you’ve got to think winningest champ in UFC history, gone over, won the One Championship Grand Prix, you’ve won the belt. That cements you as the greatest for me, and I’m sure most agree. Is there anything you can pinpoint, and I know you’re humble so I won’t press you on it. What do you think makes you different? To say to a young up-and-coming fighter, this is what made me from great to the greatest. What do you think that is? I think being humble, and not jumping into the sport to be a champion. I know a lot of people look at it like that’s stupid, but when I look back on the first time I stepped my feet in the gym, and I had a couple of fights, there was no mixed martial arts division for me. Right? I was just training to train, and then fight on these amateur fights. I didn’t think there would be a career for myself. Once I started to fight and make money, it was like oh well if I keep making this money then I can keep training and learning more. Fast forward a couple of years, here I am a world champion. It’s like oh damn I’m here. I’ve never left my team. I stayed with the same coach. I get new teammates as people come in and out of your life. I just jumped into the sport to learn to compete. DJ I could keep you here to talk ALL DAY, you’re an absolute legend, but I know you have business to take care of in Singapore so I’ll let you go. That’s One on TNT live Wednesday 7th April US primetime. Adriano Moraes. DJ will cement his legacy, the greatest of all time, if he can take this belt. Make sure you guys tune in to this fight. Not just because I’m taking on Moraes but tune in to see Eddie Alvarez vs Iuri Lapicus, a great lightweight fight. Then you also have Rodtang, Muay Thai sensation. 23-year-old 200+ fights. Absolute monster. You guys don’t want to miss it.

Delta passenger curses at staff and rants about her period in airport meltdown – Dexerto
Delta passenger curses at staff and rants about her period in airport meltdown Instagram: atlscoopA Delta passenger has been recorded going on a profane rant about her period in a viral airport meltdown after getting kicked off her plane. Airports have seen their fair share of wild moments in the last year, with numerous viral stories emerging from in-plane fights, airport attacks, and apparently “not real” flyers. Now, another intense interaction is making headlines after a disgruntled Delta passenger lost her cool at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The New York-bound woman was filmed going on a tirade in which she cursed at staff and screamed about her period after allegedly being kicked off her flight. Woman rants about her period after being kicked off plane in viral meltdown The woman, who has yet to be identified, hurled insults at four members of staff behind a kiosk, repeatedly demanding they call the police as onlookers watched in disbelief. “I want to talk to your boss, moron!” she screamed at one point. “You guys are terrible and you should be ashamed of yourselves [for] leaving someone in a situation like this!” She went on to shout, “I got irate when you told me you were kicking me off the f****** plane, you stupid b****!” The insult spurred a chorus of shocked reactions from other flyers, resulting in the woman declaring for all to hear, “I’m sick, I’m wearing a f****** diaper! I’m bleeding and they kicked me off the plane.” She then turned her attention to another flyer, shouting at the man, “I’m on my period! Do you know what a uterus is? You stupid little prick — you little weasel!” Shortly after, police officers arrived at the scene and escorted the woman out of the airport to cheers and applause. Her outburst allegedly delayed the flight for an hour, with a spokesperson for Delta telling the Daily Mail, “Delta appreciates the professionalism shown by our people, customers, and law enforcement to handle this unfortunate display. We are looking into the matter, including reaching out to our customer to understand more about what occurred.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Delta Air pilot goes viral for “speedrunning” domestic flight record – Dexerto
Delta Air pilot goes viral for “speedrunning” domestic flight record Unsplash: John McArthurA Delta Air pilot has gone viral on Twitter for supposedly “speedrunning” their recent flight, arriving 54 minutes ahead of schedule. Technology has no doubt brought the world together. Whether that be through social media apps like Twitter and Facebook, or through increases in technology that allows individuals to travel across the globe. Now people are able to travel all around the world in a matter of mere hours, making things previously unimaginable, possible. Despite making travel fast and seamless over the years, pilots are always trying to up their game. That’s exactly what one Delta pilot went viral for, as they recorded a flight that showcased their fantastic “speedrunning” potential, touching down a whole 54 minutes earlier than scheduled. Delta pilot goes viral for beating domestic flight record by 54 minutes The pilot, who goes by 876pilot on Twitter boasted about their domestic flight between New York and Atlanta, showcasing an arrival far earlier than expected. “54 Minutes Early. My New Domestic Record.” they proudly stated. Another user responded to the tweet, asking if pilots somehow had a speedrunning community. “There’s a f**king pilot speedrunning community????” they questioned. Speedrunning, which is usually associated with gaming, requires players to complete certain objectives in the shortest amount of time possible. This often requires tight timing, precision, and pre-meditated strategies in order to have a chance at claiming a top spot. Of course, it’s not certain if there is indeed a speedrunning community within the profession of pilots, but it definitely has passengers wondering after they arrive far earlier than originally intended.

Dellor slams Twitch while announcing return to YouTube Gaming: “Manipulated, lied to, strung along” – Dexerto
Dellor slams Twitch while announcing return to YouTube Gaming: “Manipulated, lied to, strung along” YouTube: dellor / TwitchIn what could be the final chapter of his time on Twitch, popular streamer ‘dellor’ announced a return to YouTube Gaming after claiming to be “manipulated, lied to, and strung along” by the Amazon-owned platform. One of the most entertaining (and controversial) content creators in gaming, Matt ‘dellor’ Vaughn has built a massive following based on a combination of high-skill FPS gameplay and unpredictable on-stream outbursts. This style of content has often landed him in the hot seat, specifically with Twitch. After being banned several times, including a one-year removal that was unexpectedly reversed, dellor found himself working towards partnership on the service once again. Now, after grinding to re-earn his Partner status and sub button (two crucial components to earning money on the platform), Vaughn suddenly announced that he would turn to streaming on YouTube, while slamming Twitch for their handling of his latest return. Lies, deceit, and manipulation – why I’m leaving twitch. pic.twitter.com/EpmgT06DaN — dellor (@dellor) October 17, 2021 Twitch streamer dellor announces return to YouTube On October 17, dellor shared a video on Twitter titled “Lies, deceit, and manipulation — why I’m leaving Twitch.” In the clip, he slammed the streaming service over their handling of his attempts to regain partnership. “I know I’ve said and done some things in the past . . . that definitely warranted punishment,” he began, “But there’s a difference between someone getting punished, and someone just getting manipulated, lied to, and strung along, which is what’s been happening to me.” Read More: Who is going to be in Mr Beast’s Squid Game? – According to dellor, Twitch told him that if he streamed for a certain period of time without any negative actions against his account, he would be able to recover his Partner status and the ability for fans to subscribe and support him. to the people saying I shouldn’t have switched back to twitch ending got cut off but whatever pic.twitter.com/yXFWgOEVi6 — dellor (@dellor) September 30, 2021 “I talked to [Twitch] and said ‘I will switch back [from YouTube Gaming] if I can earn back everything that I had before, otherwise I’m staying on YouTube,’” he revealed, “And they said ‘Okay, that will be possible.’” Dellor then continued: “So I streamed for a year on Twitch and the time comes where I’m supposed to get back what they promised, and they tell me that it’s no longer possible.” Vaughn’s announcement comes just days after he blasted Twitch once again while streaming on YouTube. “It’s either continuously get f**ked, or put my foot down and say ‘I’m done,’ and move on. So that’s what we’re gonna try to do,” he confirmed. Comments begin at 2:07 for mobile users. It appears Vaughn has turned his attention back to YouTube completely, with no streams on his Twitch channel (that remains un-Partnered at the time of writing) in more than two weeks. Dellor’s return to YouTube comes in the midst of an exodus of other large streamers from Amazon’s broadcasting platform, making him the latest in a series of high-profile departures amidst the service’s various on-going dramas.

Dellor shocked as Twitch finally unbans him after over a year – Dexerto
Dellor shocked as Twitch finally unbans him after over a year TwitchAfter just over one year following his permanent ban from Twitch, dellor’s channel has been reinstated on the platform. The former Overwatch pro now says it’s his “second chance.” Matt ‘dellor’ Vaughn has had a turbulent streaming career – he was dropped from his Overwatch team, Toronto Esports, after a racist outburst, effectively ending his career as a pro player. Then, in 2019, he was banned from Twitch after telling his female teammate in Apex Legends to “cook a sandwich.” This ban originally earned him an indefinite suspension, before it was reduced to 30 days. Upon his return however, his partnership had been revoked, leaving him without a sub button, seriously impacting his income. Then, in October 2019, dellor was “banned indefinitely for “self-harm” for breaking a keyboard on stream.” This ban prompted the hashtag #freedellor on Twitter, as fans thought the permanent ban was harsh. But, Twitch kept firm, and dellor eventually moved to streaming on YouTube instead. He pleaded with Twitch to allow him back onto the platform on a handful of occasions. Finally, on October 6, seemingly out of the blue, dellor’s channel was reinstated, and his ban lifted. “I had given up all hope,” dellor said on Twitter. “After everything I have said about them, Twitch actually unbanned me.” i can’t think straight right now.. i had given up all hope. after everything i have said about them, twitch actually unbanned me. i have been through so much and have tried so hard to improve myself and my stream and i didn’t think they saw or cared. thank you @Twitch — dellor (@dellor) October 6, 2020 His channel, complete with over 550,000 followers (and likely more as Twitch rebuilds the follow count after a suspension), is fully intact. This doesn’t mean though that he will necessarily return to streaming on Twitch though. Being unbanned on the platform at least means he is able to play with friends who are streaming on Twitch themselves. He is still not partnered on the platform and does not have a subscribe button. He will still be able to earn money through donations, but to access subscriptions or bits will need to become a Twitch affiliate. However, if he wants to become a partner again, it would mean stopping his YouTube streams altogether, where he has now built up a following since his time away from Twitch.

Dellor left in tears during first YouTube stream after Twitch ban – Dexerto
Dellor left in tears during first YouTube stream after Twitch ban Popular streamer Matthew ‘Overwatch professional, has been known for his controversial outbursts and unleashing thunderous rage during his time streaming on Twitch. He was once struck with a suspension for telling a female player to go cook a sandwich, before breaking down upon his return after admitting that he could no longer be a partner and therefore make money through subscriptions. The streamer remained on the platform until October 1, when he was banned for ‘self-harm’ after picking up his keyboard and smashing himself in the face with it. Following his suspension, fans became concerned when he disappeared from social media, explaining that he had checked himself into hospital in the aftermath of the incident. On October 6, the former Overwatch player made his unannounced debut on YouTube’s livestreaming service, and racked up over 15,000 viewers – making him one of the most popular creators on the platform during his broadcast. The success led to an emotional moment where he called up his mom and shared the good news, with both left overwhelmed by the support he was shown. “I have over 15,000 viewers right now, I think we’re going to be ok,” the streamer said, holding back tears. Despite his emotional return, Dellor couldn’t keep the signature screaming and shouting that he is known for bottled up, as he ranted and raved about his incredible viewing figures. “15 thousand people in here? I don’t know, that might not be enough!” the streamer screamed. “I might need to go to f**king Facebook or something, holy s**t dude.” Whether or not Dellor will be able to keep his incredible early viewing figures going remains up in the air, especially as he likely got a first stream bump from people who may not have tuned in before.

Concerns have been raised for the streamer after he posted a worrying TwitLonger a few hours following his ban. What happened?

While streaming Apex on October 1, dellor tore his keyboard apart after being downed in Skulltown. The streamer raged about stream snipers as he literally ripped his keyboard in half before slamming down his chair. Credit to FLiK Sixin on YouTube for the clip. Why was dellor banned?

Dellor assures fans he’s ok after hospitalization following Twitch ban – Dexerto
Dellor assures fans he’s ok after hospitalization following Twitch ban Dellor, TwitchPopular Overwatch pro confirmed he had been in hospital over the past few days, after he was banned from Twitch for alleged ‘self-harm’ following a burst of rage during his October 1 stream that ended with him ripping his keyboard in half. “I’ve been in hospital the past few days with no internet or anything,” Dellor revealed to his fans on Twitter, and confirmed he had now been discharged. “I’m out now, and I’m going to be ok. I’m sorry I couldn’t let you guys know sooner.” i’ve been in the hospital the past few days with no internet or anything. i’m out now and i’m going to be ok. i’m sorry i couldn’t let you guys know sooner. — dellor (@dellorlol) October 3, 2019 Dellor checked himself into the hospital and spent two days in the psych ward, he revealed in a recently released TwitLonger. He confirmed he had received “treatment, therapy, was diagnosed, and received medication” during his stay. “I am sorry I scared you all… I regret what I did,” he said in the update to his fans on October 3. “I love life and want to continue living and entertaining you guys. If you guys are suffering from mental health, PLEASE go get help. The two days I spent getting treatment has helped me tremendously. Don’t be scared to get help.” Read more: AngelsKimi apologizes for TwitchCon moment – His self-admittance came after he released a now-deleted tweet suggesting he didn’t “want to continue living in this world anymore” following several months of what he described as “mental torture,” which sparked concern across the community. The streamer made contact with his fans on his Discord channel after he was discharged from hospital, telling them he was about to take his “first shower in three days,” and revealing he had been “chain-smoking since (he) got out.” While Dellor did reveal that he had been “depressed for months” before the October 1 ban, it appeared the streamer — who had built a community of more than 500,000 followers on Twitch according to TwitchTracker — took the punishment, which came on the same day the star was expecting the return of his partner subscriptions, particularly hard. He stressed that he had never self-harmed on-stream, and the breaking of his keyboards was simply damaging gaming equipment, something he had done “hundreds of times on stream.” He also added that he made sure he would buy easy to break keyboards, knowing that he would regularly damage and break them, and said he would do it “to entertain (his) fans.” Read more: Amouranth hits major Twitch milestone – The streaming star also confirmed the rumors that his ban on Twitch was permanent, and that even if he was interested in returning to the Amazon-owned site — an unlikely choice considering he dubbed it “absolutely horrendous” — he would no longer be able to. “I’ve heard back from Twitch and I am permanently banned. My spirit is crushed right now. I streamed for a decade on this platform. I’ve been here from the beginning. I was banned and demonetized and still stayed loyal. I streamed for six months and the day I was going to get my sub button back, Twitch banned me permanently for “self harm,” he said. Soon after his message, a new Mixer channel branded with his profile picture and titled ‘Dellor’ appeared on Twitch’s rival’s site. There has been no official confirmation from Vaughn that this profile is owned by him or will be his new permanent home of streaming, however. Dellor has already had a number of informal offers in regards to site changes as well, including from YouTube’s head of gaming Ryan ‘Fwiz’ Wyatt, and Tyler ‘Ninja‘ Blevins, who suggested he follow in the Mixer star’s footsteps in swapping to the Microsoft-owned site. While Dellor has built much of his community on Twitch, he also boasts 384,000 subscribers on YouTube, meaning he could channel more of his content creation efforts into that platform. Dellor ended his recent message by revealing he would be appealing Twitch’s decision, and thanked his fans and the community for their support over the last few days: “With my entire soul I believe this ban was not fair. I am going to try to appeal the ban but I will let you all know what happens. I love you all and thank you all so much for the support.” If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or know anyone that is, and you would like to talk to someone, please reach out and call the Suicide Prevention Helpline 1-800-273-8255 (USA), the Samaritans 116-123 (UK), or Lifeline’s Suicide Hotline 13-11-14 (AUS).

Delivery driver’s rant at non-tipping shoppers goes viral after ignoring 43-item order – Dexerto
Delivery driver’s rant at non-tipping shoppers goes viral after ignoring 43-item order TikTok: jamesandleondraA delivery driver has gone semi-viral on TikTok by urging others to not take shopping deliveries if there are no tips involved – especially if its a massive order. TikTok has become so big these days that pretty much every corner of the internet and interest is covered in some shape. One of the most popular sub-genres that has been popping off in recent weeks and months has revolved around delivery drivers. Some drivers have sprung to internet fame for not delivering orders to ungrateful customers, while others have argued with robots who are doing deliveries. Yes, seriously. Well, TikToker jamesandleondra has gone semi-viral for his call to arms to fellow InstaCart delivery drivers, urging them not to take orders without a tip – after he was asked to deliver 43 items for no bonus. TikTok delivery driver urges others to ignore deliveries with no tip That’s right, the TikToker’s clip has picked up steam over the last few weeks after he revealed he was asked to deliver 43 items without any tip from the customer involved. “They want 43 items, no tip. Good luck with that,” the TikToker started off saying before delving deeper into their “call to arms” to InstaCart shoppers. “I’ve been saying batch after batch of orders with no tip. If you order one thing with no tip, I get it, but when someone orders 43 items with no tip and it’s 6 degrees outside on a 10-mile round trip?,” he added, urging fellow shoppers just to ignore orders without tips for the foreseeable future. “Don’t take orders with no tip, don’t.” Plenty of commenters agreed with the sentiment too. “My motto is no tip, no trip,” said one. “I don’t take ‘em either. They sit out there for a long time too,” another agreed. “BuT ThEy WiLl TiP AfTeR. If the tip isn’t added at the start it’s NEVER ADDED!!” added another. Some suggested that they’d like to tip in cash, but that isn’t an option, which causes some headaches for everyone involved.

Delivery driver writes hilarious note to homeowners after falling down their steps – Dexerto
Delivery driver writes hilarious note to homeowners after falling down their steps TikTok: astro.knotAfter a UPS delivery driver fell down a homeowner’s front steps, he wrote a cheeky note to caution them of the hilarious moment. Though UPS driver Steven Benavides confidently walked to the front door of one homeowner, he would soon be greeted with a rocky way back to his delivery truck. Sure, he had delivered plenty of packages before, but in this instance, he had taken a rather clumsy tumble. Luckily for Benavides, the homeowners had a front porch camera to catch it all on tape, resulting in him leaving them a hilarious note to warn them about what they may see when looking through their camera roll. Delivery driver goes viral on TikTok for falling on camera Benavides was on his delivery route when the unexpected happened. He had taken a photo for proof of drop-off when his foot got caught on a brick and he fell down. Though he quickly got back up, Benavides decided to write the homeowner a cheeky note saying, “I just fell so bad on your front porch. Watch the ring camera for a good laugh. Lol.” He then included his cell phone number after asking them to send the video to him. Benavides then took the video and uploaded it to TikTok. It has currently reached over 11 million people, giving plenty of laughs to those who have viewed it. Benavides was even interviewed by Newsweek where he shared why he wanted to show the world his tumble caught on camera, saying, “I figured I’d post it for people to laugh at me. I never expected it to blow up this big.” He continued, “I scratched up my knee pretty good, but nothing serious. My immediate thought was that I wanted to see the video of that so I went back and left a note.” Those who have seen Benavides’ viral TikTok video took to the comments to share their laughter, saying, “This is what the world needs! A bit more humor and the ability to laugh at one’s self. More kindness and to remember life is too short not to laugh.” Others joked about how he seemingly looked at the brick to blame it for his fall, saying, “Him looking for the audacity of that step to do that to him.” As well as, “He looked back… was that floor there before?!“ Some viewers also explained their similar experiences with delivering orders, saying, “I do Amazon flex and that happens to me — not like that yet, but it’ll happen eventually. I zone out when I’m taking the picture.” Though he was trolled for his fall, the jokes were all in good fun. Benavides also didn’t comment on whether or not he’s continued working after his tumble, but we can only hope that just one embarrassing moment won’t hold him back from continuing his job.

Delivery driver sparks debate after ruining customer’s Wendy’s order for not tipping – Dexerto
Delivery driver sparks debate after ruining customer’s Wendy’s order for not tipping TikTok/cetindA DoorDash driver has divided the internet after he posted a TikTok ruining a customer’s Wendy’s order, because he didn’t receive a tip. Delivery drivers are no strangers to stirring up debate online in the TikTok age and for good reason given how so many people can relate having used Uber, PostMates, and other apps. Throughout the years, we’ve seen numerous instances of drivers going the extra mile to deliver in a storm and even confronting customers, but now one has taken things a bit too far by ruining an order. In a video that’s resulted in some serious backlash, TikTok user ‘cetind’ uploaded a video where he ruined a Wendy’s order all because of a zero-dollar tip. Delivery man shows how he ruins orders when there’s no tip The TikToker’s method for ruining an order is actually quite simple and avoids any obvious signs of contamination. By turning the air conditioning on full blast downwards and putting the order on the floor under the passenger’s seat, he can effectively turn the piping hot food into a revenge dish best-served cold. In the comments, viewers slammed the driver for his actions and pondered why he even decides to do DoorDash to begin with. “It’s so odd how this new generation thinks tipping comes before the service,” commented one user. “You waste an extra $3 in gas for the AC and they can just pop it in the air fryer,” another remarked. Although some agreed that the drivers should have been tipped, plenty of viewers explained how they would just request a refund if that happened to them, so ruining orders was completely meaningless. So far, the driver hasn’t posted a follow-up video, but if you end up getting a cold Wendy’s order in near future, this might be the reason why.

TikTokers split on viral clash over $400 delivery order, but it’s not real – Dexerto
TikTokers split on viral clash over $400 delivery order, but it’s not real TIKTOK: shisugumA frustrated ‘delivery driver’ left TikTok viewers divided, after taking back a customer’s groceries because they didn’t tip on a $400 order. However, it’s not totally as you’d believe. In a viral clip with 2.5 million views, a supposed delivery driver was filmed engaging in a heated exchange with a couple over a tip for a large grocery order. “You should see how much work this was and why I should be getting a tip because of how much work this was,” the driver said, emphasizing the importance of tipping, while the customers maintained their stance that it’s optional. “They’re not for you anymore,” she said while putting the groceries back in her vehicle. This had some viewers enraged as they believed it was a real video. “Always tip. The people that say ‘Tipping is optional’ are the ones that’s broke,” one viewer commented. “No tip? Girl bye I’m with the driver,” another added. “$400 AND NO TIP? I’m with her,” someone else shared. Plenty of others argued that it was “staged” because of the way the video was recorded. “I’m sure it’s a skit but this is true! DO NOT have stuff delivered if you won’t tip. And tip well!” said one. “This is staged, come on!” added another. Those skeptics have, of course, turned out to be right. The account it was posted on has repeatedly posted similar pranks and skits from across the web. Though, if you were tricked into believing this was real, you’re not the only one.

Delivery driver goes viral thanking favorite customers on last day of work TikTok: JoyNtheJourneyA delivery driver is going viral on TikTok after a woman’s doorbell camera recorded him giving her family a heartwarming thank-you message on his last day of work. Delivery services are more popular than ever after the global health issue, and it’s no secret that being a delivery driver can be a challenging job. Trying to make deliveries on time in hot weather and bumper-to-bumper traffic can be a tall order — but sometimes, customers can make drivers’ days by setting out bottles of water or even snacks. That’s exactly what TikToker and mom ‘JoyNtheJourney’ does for her residential delivery drivers. In fact, the majority of her content is from her front doorbell camera, showing her front porch with a cooler full of snacks and drinks for hard working drivers on a hot summer’s day. Delivery driver thanks favorite customer on last day of work in viral video Joy’s TikTok videos have garnered millions of views, but her latest upload is taking social media by storm after a driver left her and her family a wholesome message. In the video, uploaded on September 17, a delivery driver ran up to Joy’s porch and announced that, although he didn’t have any deliveries for her house, he did want to thank her for being one of his favorite customers on his route. According to the driver, this was his very last day at work, saying that his company had fired his delivery service provider. “Sorry, I ain’t got no package for y’all today, but it’s my last day,” he explained. “They fired my DPS. I had to come get some snacks. I appreciate y’all.” “Y’all have been the best house I’ve worked with throughout this year,” he continued, reaching into the cooler to grab a few snacks. “So I’m saying, I hope y’all have a beautiful life …and hopefully one day we’ll meet again.” “To our driver friend: We would love for you to continue to stop by even if you’re not on the clock,” Joy captioned the TikTok c;ip. “You’re welcome ANYTIME! We really appreciate everything. Message us if you get a chance so we can keep in touch!” The driver’s message went viral on social media, racking up over 35 million views in just four days as commenters poured in with their well-wishes for the driver. “I don’t know why, but this made me kind of sad!” one user wrote. “The fact that he’d even thought to stop by,” another wrote. “He didn’t just come for the snacks, y’all meant something to him.” “The ‘hopefully one day we’ll meet again’ hurt me a little,” yet another said. This is just the latest delivery story to go viral online after a Domino’s driver popped off on a customer for ordering delivery when the pizzeria was right next to their house.

Delivery driver goes viral on TikTok eating customer’s McDonald’s order – but is it real? – Dexerto
Delivery driver goes viral on TikTok eating customer’s McDonald’s order – but is it real? TikTok, somalisafroA Deliveroo driver appears to have been caught red-handed and exposed in a viral TikTok, after they were seen eating a customer’s McDonald’s order… But is it actually real? Deliveroo is a takeaway food delivery service, which started in the United Kingdom and quickly grew across Europe. It is similar to Uber Eats, DoorDash, and other services where drivers pick up orders of takeout foods or groceries, before carrying them to a person’s address for dropoff. Well, apparently, this driver didn’t get the memo. Or, so it seems… TikTok reveals McDonald’s delivery was eaten by driver On July 24, TikTok user somalisafro posted a short video that first showed them walking towards a Deliveroo driver. Sitting outside next to a car, they had a McDonald’s drink in their hand, sipping away, with a few other pieces of packaging on the floor around them. “Hey, are you eating my food?” a voice said, and the response from the driver was just bizarre. They ended the phone call, asked for an order number, realized it was the guy’s food, and started throwing bits and pieces of the meal at the TikToker. “Oh, you f**king take too long…” they screamed, throwing the drink to the ground. “Look, finish it.” Clearly annoyed by the time it had taken the customer to pick up the order outside, they called them a “disgusting b**ch” before telling them to order again. It didn’t take long before users in the comments started to wonder if this could be a real exchange. There was something fishy about it. Was it real? The strange interaction ended with a few packets of sauce being thrown around, but luckily it was a prank – and nobody was actually affected. In the comments, the TikTok creator said: “Hi, this is for entertainment purposes only. This video is a parody and a skit! Thanks!” Many of the users in the replies were fully convinced, however. One said: “This looked so real.” Another added: “Why did I think this was real??” It just goes to show how easy it can be to fool people with a viral clip. This one has racked up over 170,000 likes and is showing no signs of slowing down.

In her video, which has over 1.2 million views, she showed off an enormous grocery order worth $499 that she had just gotten for free. Belinda said she was allowed to keep all the groceries, as the order was canceled. The Spark delivery driver unveiled some of the items she’d received, which included snacks, frozen meals, meats, fruits, vegetables, desserts, and more. In her TikTok bio, she said the haul was so large that she had to buy two deep freezers to store all the foodstuff. Belinda also claimed that she received her $50 base pay through Spark in addition to getting to keep the groceries. “I swear to God I get so lucky! I needed this blessing,” she captioned her video. TikTok reacts to Spark shopper getting grocery order for free Most TikTok users in the comment section were happy for the delivery driver. “I would be on cloud 9 for WEEKS if this happened to me. Congratulations!” one person wrote. “This is great! I’m glad you were able to get this,” another added. “What an amazing blessing!! I’m over here all excited for you,” a third shared. Others, however, said she should’ve returned the groceries to the store. “I do Spark as well you are supposed to return to the store,” one commented. “Pretty sure you gotta take it all back,” another agreed. In a follow-up clip, Belinda explained that the order was canceled by Spark itself because it was a “cold order violation,” meaning cold grocery items were in her cart for too long. She also revealed that she got the groceries for free due to a glitch on the app. Normally, she would have to return them.

Delivery driver divides TikTok after blasting hospital patient’s $4 Papa John’s order TIKTOK: sexcwanchA DoorDash driver went viral on TikTok after blasting a customer who placed a $4 Papa John’s order from a hospital, sparking debate. The driver went on a foul-mouthed rant in her TikTok video, claiming that the customer expected her to find the hospital room they were in. The DoorDash driver, however, didn’t want to go inside of the hospital with the customer’s food and wanted them to meet her outside instead. “This is another reason why I cannot f**k with DoorDash,” the TikToker, who posts under the handle sexcwanch, wrote in the 25-second clip. “Why the f**k I’m at the hospital right, OK, whatever. This b*tch talking about some room 2, room what, room who.” She continued, “b*tch I’m not going into no hospital to deliver no f**king nasty, sloppy-ass Papa John’s. You got me f**ked up.

Other users, however, dragged the TikToker for ranting about the customer. “With that attitude you need to quit! I hope they don’t tip you either cuz I sure wouldn’t,” one user commented. “Signs up for DoorDash but doesn’t want to DoorDash,” another user quipped. “Y’all wonder why you don’t make tips. Can’t expect me to pay for the bare minimum,” someone else shared.

Deji’s former boxing coach accuses him of ‘lying’ about his training – Dexerto
Deji’s former boxing coach accuses him of ‘lying’ about his training YouTube: Ny & Sol / DejiDeji’s former boxing coach has accused the YouTuber of ‘lying’ about his training in a new YouTube video, after he lost to Alex Wassabi in a fight in March. YouTuber Deji Olatunji is just one of the many content creators online who have joined the likes of Jake and Logan Paul in trying their hand at boxing, though some have certainly been more successful than others. Deji has yet to pick up a win in the ring, previously losing to Jake Paul and Vinnie Hacker, and then to Alex Wassabi at the UK vs USA bout back in March. On April 27, the YouTuber’s former coach Solomon uploaded a video titled ‘Deji LIED About his Training **Former Coach Exposes The Truth**’ in which he described what happened behind the scenes of the lead-up to the fight. He explained that the training was “sporadic” at the beginning, due to Deji being ill in December, but in January: “It started to pick up a little bit, [but] it was still a bit sporadic for me. There was times when I did say to Deji like, we need to pick up the pace. Admittedly we had quite a long camp, and he did come to myself underweight, which was impressive. But I knew that he needed to pick the intensity up with the training. “It was quite tough because he had quite a lot of commitments outside of boxing, which is understandable, but when you have a fight coming on, you need to be fully committed in my opinion. Camp really didn’t get going. There was a number of occasions where I had to kind of use different approaches, but I tried explaining to him that with boxing you’ve got to take it seriously. “His life is in my hands as a coach, like, I must put him through the full paces. It didn’t seem like it was paying off. After that there was points where I did say to him that, ‘Deji, if it carries on this way then I will not be your coach going into fight week,’” he continued. In response to Deji’s claims that training was “too easy,” his former coach responded that: “For me, he was never able to be pushed. A person is only gonna do what they wanna do. You can’t really force anyone to do anything.” Solomon also disputed Deji’s claims that he only had one sparring partner, and released some footage of some of the YouTuber’s sparring to prove that the partners weren’t “easy” fights. “Quite clearly he was finding it hard in that sparring session, unlike how he has stated in that face-off against Alex, that it wasn’t hard. It was hard,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with tough sparring, it should be harder than the fight, but for Deji to say it was easy quite clearly is another lie, on top of the lie of me not pushing him, because I know that I push my fighters.” The coach later added: “I think his performance kind of showed overall the kind of effort he has put into training camp, if I’m totally honest with you.” Although Deji indicated that he would retire from the sport if he lost his third fight, he has since revealed that he plans to carry on boxing.

Deji’s feud with KSI could be finally over, according to reports – Dexerto
Deji’s feud with KSI could be finally over, according to reports Deji, KSI – YouTubePopular YouTubers Deji and KSI have been locked in a bitter feud, after Deji leaked KSI’s bank records for a diss track in late November 2018. However, their month-long spat may be at an end, according to a Tweet created by Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR. Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem posted a Tweet on January 5, which claimed that he had spoken to Deji about the feud over the phone. His post alleged that their call came to a finite conclusion, with Deji reportedly deciding to “move on” from the spat with his older brother. “Just got off the phone with Deji,” KEESTAR wrote. “He’s going to take a break and drop everything and move on.” Just got off the phone with @Deji, he’s going to take a break & drop everything & move on. — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) January 5, 2019 This statement lines up with Deji’s previous declaration in a video posted on the same day, where he claimed that he had “moved on” from their beef – despite going on to take shots at KSI for his reaction to his own videos explaining the debacle. “I’ve honestly moved on from that whole beef, yet he’s still reacting to it,” Deji stated.”…I’m disgusted. I don’t even want to watch this.” Deji has since deleted his diss track against KSI, as well, marking yet another show of good faith towards his brother. So @Deji told me he would delete the @KSIOlajidebt disstrack. & i just checked his channel. He did it! — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) January 5, 2019 While KSI has yet to react to Deji’s latest demonstration of solidarity, the YouTuber did express some tough love toward his younger brother in a reaction video on January 4 in regards to his single, ‘No L’s.’ “How can you make a song called ‘No L’s’ when, Deji, you’ve taken L’s?” KSI said of the track. “Don’t get me wrong, Dej, you’re dumb as fuck, but I love you, man.” Deji has likewise seen a massive decrease in subscribers following their fight, losing a total of 48,902 subs in the past 30 days. https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/comedyshortsgamer

Deji wants Jake Paul revenge after Mayweather boxing match Twitter: DejiDeji’s confidence has grown tremendously as a boxer since he started back in 2018 and now he believes a rematch with Jake Paul is all but guaranteed. Deji Olatunji has made quite a splash in the world of influencer boxing. While it took him a while to find his feet in the sport, a win over Fousey back in September put him on the board, and a November 13 showdown with legendary 50-0 boxer Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather will be his biggest test so far. There’s no denying that the young man has made strides since he first stepped into the ring against Jake Paul in 2018, and now that he has a little more experience between the ropes, he believes that a rematch with ‘The Problem Child’ is inevitable. Deji says he wants another shot against Jake Paul In their first meeting on the Logan Paul vs KSI undercard, there was no question that the younger Paul brother was the better fighter. Olatunji demonstrated a ton of resilience by lasting as long as he did, but ultimately his corner was forced to step in and throw the towel in the fifth round. That may have been a humbling beginning but he clearly believes things are different now. When asked his thoughts on the chance of a rematch, he made it clear that he’s ready to take a shot at redemption. “I believe [the match] will happen, 100%,” he told the press. Of course, it’s not strictly up to him whether or not another bout comes to fruition. Jake just claimed a decision victory over MMA icon Anderson Silva to move to 6-0 in his career, and he’s already got a number of potential suitors that want to get in the ring with him. From calling out one of the best boxers on the planet (Canelo Alvarez) to firing back at UFC retiree Nate Diaz, there are a number of big-name draws that could push Deji to the back of the line. In fact, one of those potential opponents is Olatunji’s own brother, KSI. KSI and Paul have had a continual back and forth, and while a fight between the two was previously confirmed to be going down in 2023, Jake’s continual rising star could present a problem for that matchup as well. If Deji really wants to make this fight happen, he’ll likely have to shock the world against Floyd for his name to start leapfrogging over the competition.

Deji vs Floyd Mayweather will be hosted by KSI’s Misfits Boxing brand – Dexerto
Deji vs Floyd Mayweather will be hosted by KSI’s Misfits Boxing brand YouTube: FightHubDeji vs. Floyd Mayweather is one of the most exciting influencer boxing matchups in recent memory – and the whole show just got more exciting now that the bout is officially a part of the Misfits Boxing catalog. Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr. is arguably the best boxer of all time, so every time he sets foot into the ring, it’s a big deal all around the world. He’s taking on another exhibition fight, akin to the one he had with Logan Paul back in 2021, and this time around he’s squaring off with Deji Olatunji. While Floyd has his own promotion company, it has now been confirmed that this bout will be going down as a part of KSI’s Misfits Boxing brand. KSI’s Misfits Boxing will host Deji vs Floyd Mayweather As confirmed by Mams Taylor, the event will be going down November 13 at the Coca-Cola arena in Dubai as part of the Global Titans series. Alongside the news of Misfits’ involvement, we also know that the broadcast is in partnership with DAZN, which has been the primary sports entertainment platform associated with influencer boxing for the last two years. Misfits has been responsible for two cards already, with the company playing host to KSI’s fights against Swarmz and Pineda back in August, as well as the MB2 event earlier in October. While the first two cards were successful in various ways, there’s no bigger draw in all of boxing than Mayweather, so this represents a serious step up for the young promotion. The stakes of an exhibition are certainly lower than a normal contest, and Floyd has talked plenty about his mindset going into the fight. Even though he’s a legendary fighter who boasts an undefeated 50-0 record, he recently admitted that he wouldn’t care at all if he got knocked in one that “don’t count” now that he’s done with the pro world. Still, the experience advantage over his young opponent (who is a modest 1-3 in pro competition) should be enough to carry him over the line, even if he’s just looking to “have some fun” while he’s out there.

Floyd Mayweather dances to victory over Deji: recap, results, & fight card – Dexerto
Floyd Mayweather dances to victory over Deji: recap, results, & fight card Twitter: DAZNIn one of the most surprising head-to-head fights yet, YouTuber Deji was taken down by boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather, who ‘retired’ with a 50-0 record (27 KOs), has been dabbling in the YouTube boxing scene. He took on Logan Paul in an exhibition match in June 2021, with no outright winner declared. Floyd later claimed that it wasn’t a “real” fight. Again, his fight with Deji will also be an exhibition, taking place later this year, as the 1-3 YouTube takes on the 50-0 boxing great. Deji vs Mayweather Fight card & results Floyd dances his way to a win over Deji After a painfully long wait, 1-2 influencer boxer Deji and 50-0 professional boxer Floyd Mayweather finally stepped into the ring. But round 1 didn’t start with the high-octane action viewers were hoping for. Floyd played with Deji while having complete control of the match, having his hands down by his side and dancing around the ring. Round two started off the same way. Floyd chanted with the crowd, kept his guard down, danced, and taunted. Deji did attempt to land a few body shots with a couple actually landing, but they didn’t stop Floyd from toying with his opponent. Deji attempted to step up the aggression in Round 3, but Floyd answered each attempt by embarrassing Deji. More dancing, more smiling, but this time accompanied by a flurry of punches that seemingly injured Deji. But Deji needs to turn it on in the next few rounds to regain respect. Round four saw Deji land a clean shot on Floyd which was a turning point in the fight. Mayweather put the goofy antics away and punished Deji’s attempt to put on the pressure. The start of the fifth round looked more like boxing than the first four, but Mayweather returned to his tactics of getting into Deji’s head within 30 seconds. And once again, the round ended with not much action outside of Deji putting on a show. Between rounds 5 and 6, Deji started to pull out his own taunts. This backfired as Floyd retaliated with a level of aggression we hadn’t yet seen. While both fighters began to pick up the pace and put on a match that reflected real boxing, Deji paid for his between-round showboating. With a little under 40 seconds to go, the referee called the match as Deji couldn’t handle the full-on assault from Mayweather. Tommy Fury vs Rolly Lambert recap As commentator Jake Paul stated, this fight was embarrassing. Over the course of six two-minute rounds, you could likely count the number of punches landed on two hands. A lot of footwork was on display as both fighters jumped and ran around the ring giving each other plenty of space to move around freely. Because the fight was an exhibition, no winner was announced. However, it would have been difficult to score such an uneventful fight. Ironically, the most action was on display following the fight. Coach John Fury and Tommy Fury stood feet from Jake Paul as both parties threw verbal shots at one another. Fury demanded Paul get in the ring to prove he is a man, while Paul asked Fury to meet him outside of the ring for a fight. And at one point in time, Tommy nearly jumped out of the ring before members of his team grabbed and restrained him. The audience was mere moments away from seeing the Fury vs Paul fight they’d been waiting for, but the barking settled to a dull roar as the fighters gave up their pointless pursuits. When was Deji vs Floyd Mayweather? Deji took on Mayweather in a “big money exhibition bout” on November 13, 2022. The fight was a part of the “Global Titans Fight Series” taking place in Dubai. Where to rewatch Deji vs Floyd Mayweather The event was broadcast exclusively on DAZN. Fans can purchase the pay-per-view for the monthly DAZN subscription of $19.99 and add it to their plan for $14.99. The broadcast began at 7 p.m. GMT / 5 p.m. ET, with main event ring walks taking place at 10 p.m. GMT / 8 p.m. ET. Deji vs Mayweather hosted by KSI’s Misfits Boxing On October 17, it was revealed that Deji vs Mayweather will be hosted by KSI’s Misfits Boxing brand – a huge step for the company, which has already hosted two events, including KSI’s ‘two fights, one night’ event on August 27 and the Jay Swingler vs Cherdleys card on October 15. The brother of KSI, Deji lost his first three fights, but made amends with his first victory coming over Fousey in August. Meanwhile, his brother is also attempting to lock in his next fight, with Jake Paul and Andrew Tate both taunting him. Paul Bamba withdrawal, Fury fights Rolly Lambert During the final weigh-in on November 12, Tommy Fury weighed seven pounds over the fight’s limit. Fury weighed 181.4 pounds while Bamba came in at 174.6 pounds. While the co-main event was seemingly going to be canceled, Global Titans announced that Bamba had withdrawn from the fight and would be replaced by Fury’s new opponent, current WBC, and WBA Asia Champion Rolly Lambert (15-1-1) (12 KOs). Deji vs Floyd Mayweather full fight card A slew of other big names were set to participate in this latest influencer-boxing showdown. The full fight card consisted of: Undercard Harley Benn vs Faizan Anwar – Bobby Fish vs. Boateng Prempeh – Delfine Persoon vs Ikram Kerwat – Jack Fincham vs Anthony Taylor – Jaider Herrera vs Franklin Manzanilla – Co-Main Event Tommy Fury vs Rolly Lambert – Main Event Deji vs Floyd Mayweather – The reaction to Deji landing a fight with Mayweather was generally one of surprise, with some calling it “the most unexpected thing I’ve seen.” Logan, who has been chasing Mayweather for payment for their fight over a year ago, joked that Deji should make sure he’s paid upfront.

The slow start consisted of a few traded blows during the first three rounds. The final two rounds were explosive with both fighters landing some of the match’s most critical hits. However, Alex Wassabi was able to capitalize on an exhausted Deji’s late-game composure. The actor and YouTuber Alex Wassabi was named the winner by split decision making Deji’s record 0-3. “This guy’s tough, he has heart. I love him,” Wassabi stated referring to Deji. “I didn’t realize how tough it was gonna be.

Deji threatens KSI with legal action following abuse allegations – Dexerto
Deji threatens KSI with legal action following abuse allegations KSI / Deji InstagramPopular YouTuber Oladeji ‘Deji‘ Olatunji, who recently accused his brother KSI of abuse, has now threatened his brother with legal action. The Olatunji brothers are yet to resolve their differences in their latest feud, after Deji accused KSI of giving him years of mental and physical abuse. Before KSI uploaded a YouTube video responding to the allegations, he looked to gather dirt on Deji, posting for those who could share stories about his brother to get in touch with him. Deji has since uploaded yet another video in response to his brother’s tweets, in which he claimed KSI has taken things too far and said, “it’s upsetting and it’s sad that he’s trying to destroy my livelihood.” He went on to say that although he has done things in the past that he is not proud of, there was no need for KSI to try and find dirt on him, as people could potentially lie to him, saying “You’re definitely going to get people who are going to lie about the situation to make me look a lot worse.” Topic starts at 5:52 He then followed on by saying that if KSI was going to continue down this path of trying to dig up dirt on him and release a response video containing “lies or any form of manipulation,” that he will take legal action against his brother, saying, “ I would much rather not do that but I would be forced to take legal action for defamation of character.” Deji finished the video by thanking all of his fans for their support during the drama and claimed that KSI doesn’t understand the severity of the situation between him and his brother, before calling for him to start taking responsibility for his actions. KSI initially stated that he wouldn’t respond to Deji’s first video, but after significant backlash, and losing subscribers on both of his channels, tweeted “fuck it, I’m going to reply.” His response video is still forthcoming, but it’s unlikely he will use any ‘stories’ provided to him by fans, having now deleted the tweet in question.

Deji slams KSI on Logan Paul’s podcast, shares more details about the ongoing feud – Dexerto
Deji slams KSI on Logan Paul’s podcast, shares more details about the ongoing feud (Left) Good Morning Britain/(Right) DejiThe beef between KSI and Deji doesn’t look to be coming to an end anytime soon, with the younger Olatunji brother appearing on the Logan Paul podcast. Since fighting the Paul brothers, the Olatunji brothers have gone back and forth with their own personal beef. It blew up in early December with KSI blocking Deji on both Twitter and Instagram, and the pair have traded blows since. KSI seemingly tried to clear the air with a tweet stating he’d always love his brother but Deji declined the peace offering. Instead, after releasing another diss track, the younger Olatunji brother took to the Logan Paul ‘ImPaulsive’ podcast to lash out further at his brother. “This has like manifested. I don’t want to go into full detail but it all kinda started off when I moved away,” Deji stated. “When we like moved out from that house, I think that’s when it kind of started – he started just distancing himself from the family. He has time to visit the family but he would never just make the conscious effort. He would always put his friends first. “Not just in like videos or anything but it would be, his friends would say something about me and JJ would believe them over me.” Deji continued to dish on his brother, adding further fuel to the fire based on the fact that KSI has distanced himself from their family. “He even blocked mum and dad. Yeah, on Twitter, Instagram and texts. Everything,” he said. “They’re (the parents) on my side. They know he’s messing up and they don’t understand why he’s acting this way. It doesn’t make any sense.” (Timestamp for mobile viewers of 6:00 for below video.) After being quizzed on a number of topics, including whether or not the beef is fake, the fights between the two sets of brothers and the possibility of Deji boxing KSI, he added that he wants to right the situation. “Obviously I want this to get fixed but he really needs to sit down and see for himself what he’s doing wrong. Just from the video he made, his apology, it was such a trash apology in my opinion. “He was so different to how he sounded on the phone to his video. I didn’t want this to get to the internet but the only way to get through to him is the internet – it’s pointless if I text him. He’s on about communication but he’s the one who sucks with communication.”

Deji slams Jake Paul for rematch invite, claims he’s “ducking” AnEsonGib – Dexerto
Deji slams Jake Paul for rematch invite, claims he’s “ducking” AnEsonGib YouTuber Deji Olatunji, better known as just Deji, has claimed that YouTuber Jake Paul is avoiding a fight with Ali ‘AnEsonGib’ Gib, accusing the American of being “scared”. Deji is the younger brother of KSI – the popular YouTuber turned pro boxer, who has fought Jake’s older brother, Logan, on two occasions and recently won the second bout. While Deji lost his fight against Jake Paul when Logan and KSI met for the first time, there has been significant talk of a rematch — but nothing concrete has ever materialized. In his YouTube video uploaded on December 1, Deji called out Jake Paul for “ducking” AnEsonGib. Deji explained that he woke up to a surprise parcel from the younger Paul brother, after which he proceeded to do a live opening. Inside was a message calling Deji a ‘p*ssy’, along with an invitation for a second fight. Deji initially laughed at the parcel, before firing back at Jake: “You wanna fight me, but you’re ducking Gib,” he said. “Let’s be honest, you’re scared to fight Gib. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to fight you… But fight Gib first.” Timestamp for mobile users: 2:00 “Fight Gib first, because that’s the fight people wanna see,” he continued. “Then we can actually talk. Me and you – we’ll talk about our rematch.” He goes on to call Jake a “f*cking weirdo” and claims that “everyone wants to see” Jake fight Gib. AnEsonGib is a popular YouTuber and previously fought on the undercards of KSI versus Joe Weller – where he beat MaxPlays – and the first KSI versus Logan Paul fight – where he beat TGF’s Jay Swingler. https://twitter.com/AnEsonGib/status/1201227858263379970?s=20 Gib has been very vocal in his requests for a fight with Jake Paul, but the American has so far been resistant to the calls. On December 1, Gib tweeted: “Jake Paul ain’t got balls, pass it on.” Many fans have criticized the American for not accepting Gib’s invitation for a fight, accusing him of being afraid. Jake Paul has previously confirmed that fight negotiations are underway, with the opponent as yet undecided. He claims it will be a precursor to a Jake Paul vs KSI fight, in which he “avenge” his brother. Deji finished his video by encouraging his fans to tweet Jake calling him a p*ssy because of his refusal to fight AnEsonGib. We will continue to update you on this story as more unfolds.

YouTuber Deji to be sentenced over dangerous dog charges – Dexerto
YouTuber Deji to be sentenced over dangerous dog charges Deji, YouTubeIn September 2018, popular YouTuber Deji Olatunji was part of an altercation with his neighbors when his German Shepherd dog, Tank, allegedly bit and caused “very nasty injuries” to a woman collecting a parcel from his front porch. According to Deji, Tank had merely “nipped” the neighbor in response to being beaten over the head with the parcel, resulting in purported external damage to the pup’s face. Additionally, the YouTuber claimed that law enforcement was attempting to censor his videos on the topic, and even claimed that local police had detained his dog without notice for training as a K-9. However, reports from BBC now state that both Deji and his mother have admitted to “dangerous dog offenses” a year later, with the two scheduled to be sentenced on October 25. The youngest Olatunji sibling admitted in Cambridge Crown Court that Tank was “dangerously out of control,” with his mother also pleading guilty to her role in the altercation. Judge David Farrell QC stated that the dog had bitten Deji’s elderly neighbor twice, causing “very nasty injuries” after Deji’s mother had “caused the dog to be let out” of their home. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2GqxIgrUX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThat’s not all: Tank reportedly bit another neighbor, “causing no injury” after Deji exited the house to restrain his dog. This is a claim that Deji initially denied, arguing that the neighbor had tried to kick the dog to get a rise out of the animal. “You know why?” Deji asked in a video on the topic in 2018. “Because he wanted the dog to attack him, so he could make a claim.” The YouTuber later published a petition to retrieve his dog from the authorities, which currently boasts over 441k signatures at the time of writing. Both Deji and his father were charged with two counts of owning a dangerous dog in January 2019, according to a speaker for the Cambridgeshire Police. Those charges have finally come full circle, with the YouTuber and his mother now pleading guilty to counts that Deji had initially denied. The sentencing comes mere days after Deji uploaded a video claiming that he was going to court to retrieve Tank, calling the ordeal “insane.” Deji has yet to speak further on the subject as of the publication of this article.

Deji sends message to haters after securing Mayweather boxing match – Dexerto
Deji sends message to haters after securing Mayweather boxing match YouTube: DejiYouTube star Deji is hitting back at naysayers after officially securing a boxing match against undefeated champ Floyd Mayweather, despite his own previous losses. Deji Olatunji first dove into the world of boxing back in August 2018, when he faced off against Jake Paul on the Logan Paul vs KSI card that gripped the entirety of social media. Deji notably lost this bout (although he did give Jake a bloody nose) — and the match after that, and the match after that. He lost against Vinnie Hacker during the YouTubers vs TikTokers card in summer 2021, and was also defeated by Alex Wassabi earlier this year, causing a row between the American YouTuber and his big bro KSI that still has yet to be resolved. However, Deji would make a huge comeback in August 2022 on the undercard of KSI’s ‘two fights, one night’ event with his match against Fouseytube. Although Fousey was the favorite to win, Deji took the victory by TKO in the third round, marking his first-ever boxing victory. Then, something happened that no one expected; Deji scored an exhibition match against none other than Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, becoming the second major influencer to face off against the 50-0 boxing champ after Logan Paul in 2021. Deji hits back at doubters after scoring Mayweather bout This fight was officially confirmed on September 26. Deji uploaded an announcement video to his YouTube channel that same day, where he hit back at his haters who’d urged him to step away from boxing after his three initial losses. “My whole boxing journey has been a lot of loss,” he said. “I’ve had people tell me to quit boxing after me losing. I was an 0-3 fighter. People just telling me that ‘This isn’t for you.’ You shouldn’t be boxing. You should give up.’” “I had people doubt me. Tell me they don’t see any chance of victory for me. And now look at me. I’m about to share the ring with the greatest boxer of all time. So yeah, guys. If there’s anything you should take from my journey, it’s don’t give up.” Deji will take on Floyd Mayweather on November 13 in Dubai at the Coca-Cola Arena — but Jake Paul is adamant that the boxing legend face off against him in the ring, next.

Deji sells bloodstained gloves from Jake Paul boxing match – Dexerto
Deji sells bloodstained gloves from Jake Paul boxing match While KSI and Logan Paul might be YouTube’s most popular white-collar boxers, they aren’t the only entertainers to have stepped in the ring – and one of these content creators is looking to make a surprising profit off the sport. KSI and Logan Paul faced off for the first time in August 2018 – but unlike their rematch, the undercard was filled with other YouTubers, including their own younger brothers. Deji Olatunji and Jake Paul faced off ahead of their older siblings’ highly-anticipated match, with Jake Paul ultimately emerging the victor. While Deji received a sound beating – losing to Jake by knockout – the British YouTuber showed that he was no slouch, managing to score several hits to the youngest Paul brother’s face during their bout. Now, over a year later, Deji is revisiting their fight in a highly unexpected way. Rather than replaying their match for another reaction video, the YouTuber is selling the very gloves he used to pummel his opponent in an online auction. Their historical significance aside, there’s something about these gloves that Deji was intent on advertising – more specifically, the fact that they’re covered with Paul’s blood, as he made sure to mention in his video on the topic. “You guys know, when I fought Jake Paul, I made him bleed,” Deji announced. “He was the only one who bled during our fight. They still have Jake Paul’s blood on them. They have not been washed or cleaned.” Currently, Deji’s eBay listing has reached £65,800.00 from 69 bidders – but it’s not just fans who are hoping to get their hands on the coveted gloves. Drama Alert’s Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem has likewise placed a bid on the bloodstained gauntlets, albeit differently, warning Deji that a Jake Paul fan might buy the gloves and destroy all evidence of his pounding in the ring. “…a Jake Pauler will buy and destroy,” KEEMSTAR cautioned. “I know we have not seen eye to eye. But I’ll pay you a fair amount and will keep them forever. I have been collecting for the YouTuber museum. Please reach out.” Yo @Deji , a Jake Pauler will buy and destroy. I know we have not seen eye to eye. But I’ll paid you a fair amount and will keep them forever. I have been collecting for YouTuber museum. Please reach out. pic.twitter.com/9nOyuVHrhW — KEEM 🍿 (@KEEMSTAR) November 19, 2019 For now, it looks like the bidding is still on – but Deji has more on his mind than just money, announcing that he will make a return to the sport in the wake of his older brother’s split-decision victory on November 9.

Deji says he’ll “never” box KSI after cryptic tweet goes viral – Dexerto
Deji says he’ll “never” box KSI after cryptic tweet goes viral YouTube: Deji, JJ OlatunjiYouTube boxer Deji Olatunji has denounced any possibility of fighting his older brother, fellow influencer KSI, after his big bro made a tweet claiming his next fight was his own flesh and blood. Both KSI and Deji are coming fresh off massive wins from their August 27 boxing event. Deji emerged victorious over YouTube star Fousey, while KSI defeated two separate opponents — rapper Swarmz and Mexican pro boxer Luis Pineda — marking a hugely successful night for the brothers. While KSI was ecstatic about his little bro’s big win (the first he’s ever had in his boxing career), he published a tweet shortly afterward that had the entire internet in shock: “Deji will be my next opponent.” However, it doesn’t look like Deji feels the same way, whether his big bro was merely joking or not. He addressed the possibility in a YouTube video on September 15, saying there’s no amount of money an event could pay him to face off with his older brother. Deji says he’ll “never, ever” fight his brother KSI He brought up the topic after viewing a clip from Jake Paul’s podcast, where the YouTube boxer claimed that KSI would certainly beat Deji if the fight ever actually happened. “The thing is, I’ll be real, I’m never gonna box JJ, alright?” Deji said of the matter. “I’m saying that now. I will never ever box him. There’s actually no amount of money that will make me box JJ. Never. I will never, ever do it. I could 100% put my heart, soul, everything on [the line], I’ll never do it.” (Topic begins at 8:10) For now, rumors continue to swirl that Deji might be facing off against undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather, although nothing has been officially confirmed about this matchup at the time of writing. With KSI putting his eyes on MMA star Dillon Danis for his next bout, these two bros seem spoken for, with no real interest in taking each other on in the boxing ring.

Deji reveals plan to keep fighting after 3 boxing defeats in a row – Dexerto
Deji reveals plan to keep fighting after 3 boxing defeats in a row YouTube: DejiYouTuber Deji has claimed he will be continuing his boxing career after his loss to Alex Wassabi, despite earlier claims that he would retire from the sport if he didn’t win. March 5 saw Deji and Alex Wassabi face off in a headline fight that ended up dominating social media, with some fans loving the event and others less than impressed. It was Wassabi that ultimately took the win by split decision, which disappointed Deji fans who had hoped to see the YouTuber get his first boxing win. In 2018, Deji lost his fight against Jake Paul, and later in 2021 also lost to TikToker Vinnie Hacker as part of the Battle of the Platforms event.

If I lost my last fight, I was not gonna fight again.” He later went on to say: “I want you to see me as an example. Yeah, I failed three times, but I’m not stopping. I’m coming back. I’m gonna carry on boxing, and I’m gonna get a victory. And you know for a fact I will.” “I’m gonna show you, no matter how many times you get beat you can still pick yourself back up and win. Use me as an example, I will get you a victory, and I promise you that.” Deji also said that he’s still planning on uploading videos, saying he did “somewhat neglect YouTube because I did take a break.” It’s not yet clear who Deji plans on fighting next, but his fans are hoping that he’ll be able to get his first win.

Deji responds to underage grooming allegations against Twitch mod – Dexerto
Deji responds to underage grooming allegations against Twitch mod Popular YouTuber Deji Olatunji has responded to underage grooming allegations levelled against one of his Twitch and Discord moderators, saying that the person has been reported to police. Deji, who streams on Twitch under the alias of ‘comedyshortsgamer’, revealed that one of his mods had allegedly been abusing their position of power to solicit sexual pictures from underage fans of the Youtuber. The moderator, who goes by the name ‘BamJake’, was a long-standing member of Deji’s community on Twitch and Discord. In a video titled “I have some bad news,” Deji laid out the situation to his fans, and spoke out against the mod’s actions. “It has come to my attention that he has been grooming young boys and asking young boys for pictures — like nude pictures,” he said. “BamJake was 20, and all the boys are under the age of 16. ” BamJake has been around Deji’s Twitch streams for months, helping him build a bigger presence on the platform. “One time I was live streaming on Twitch and someone came in, his name was BamJake,” he said. “I thought he was a chill dude, he was funny as hell, trolly as well — it was a good time, and I thought he was an alright guy. “I made him a mod on my stream, not seeing any big deal about it. He even made me a Discord server, which looking back on it, he was very adamant about the Discord server.” Deji alleges BamJake used his position of power to groom more than ten children, under the age of 16, to send him sexual images. “10+ boys have come out saying they have been groomed by BamJake, [and] it’s just disgusting really,” he said. “I put trust into this guy and it turns out that he’s like this. “He was begging for nudes, and that’s just really disgusting in my opinion, it’s just gross.” The YouTube personality, who has almost 10 million subscribers and 2 million Twitter followers, shared some of the messages sent by BamJake to the children. He said the victims were “very brave for coming forward,” saying it’s not their fault. “It’s not [the victims’] fault,” he said. “I understand because they didn’t see the severity of it, they were just like “oh, he’s going to give me money if I do this,” so they obviously didn’t understand how severe it is.” Deji has apologised to his fanbase, saying that he misplaced his trust and that many of his other moderators warned him about BamJake’s behavior. “I just want to say sorry,” he said. “Sorry for putting trust into this guy, and I’m sorry to the other boys who have had issues with BamJake. “I’m an optimist, I was seeing that maybe he’s alright, but clearly not. I thought I was a good judge of character, but obviously I’m not.” Deji mentioned that the police have gotten involved, and an investigation into the accusations is on-going. “The police are already dealing with the situation,” he said. “I’m happy that the police are getting involved because this is sick.” He also urged other victims of the sexual harassment to come forward and report their experiences to the police. “If this is happening to you, please come forward,” he said. “Don’t be shy, don’t be scared, just come forward. The only way you are going to get help is if you come forward, so don’t be afraid to come forward.” If you are a victim of underage sexual assault or harassment, you are not alone.

Deji responds to KSI’s allegations with cryptic Tweet – Dexerto
Deji responds to KSI’s allegations with cryptic Tweet Deji, KSI – YouTubePopular YouTubers Deji and Olajide William ‘KSI’ Olatunji are in the midst of a bitter family feud, after Deji leaked KSI’s bank records during a diss track. Now, KSI has accused Deji of egging on their argument for the sake of views – but Deji says otherwise. KSI called out Deji in a serious Tweet on December 27, claiming that he was “manipulating the audience” to gain views and disputing his claim that their spat had been resolved as stated during one of his videos. “Fam… You’re being fake to manipulate the audience to stop yourself from losing subs,” KSI wrote. “…I asked you to delete the videos attacking me and not to make any more mentioning me, but you still continue to ignore me.” “People will rate you, hate you and try to break you, but how you stand is what makes you,” Deji wrote. speculated that Deji could be trying to draw out their spat for the sake of views, going on to note that Deji had been steadily losing subscribers beforehand. While Deji denied any such ploy, it was later discovered that he was using popular YouTuber David Dobrik’s tags in his videos concerning KSI, allegedly breaching YouTube’s terms of service in the process.

Deji reportedly charged following police’s alleged theft of his dog – Dexerto
Deji reportedly charged following police’s alleged theft of his dog Deji, YouTube / Change.orgPopular YouTuber Deji Olatunji continues to fight for the return of his German Shepherd, Tank, after the animal was allegedly stolen by law enforcement in September of 2018. While Deji claimed that Tank had merely nipped his neighbor (who allegedly hit the dog over the head with a parcel), a speaker for the Cambridgeshire Police claimed that both the YouTuber and his father were charged on two counts of owning a dangerous dog. “Olayinka Olatunji, 52, and Deji Olatunji, 22, were each charged with two counts of owning a dog that was dangerously out of control,” the spokesperson stated in an interview with Metro UK. “One count with injury and one without.” Tank was seized by police after reportedly attacking Deji’s neighbor, who had come to collect a package from the front stoop of his home while the Olatunji family was away. Additional reports claim that Tank likewise attacked the neighbor’s son-in-law, who Deji accused of “wanting the dog to attack him, so he could make a claim.” Furthermore, Deji speculated that law enforcement were training the dog as a police K-9, after being held in a kennel awaiting a charging decision – although authorities denied this claim. https://www.change.org/p/this-morning-a-petition-to-save-our-dog-tankDeji was made to sign an Acceptable Dog Contract following the incident, after which he and his family placed Tank in a kennel. According to Deji, police removed tank from the kennel into a police-approved holding unit, which Deji claimed to have no knowledge of beforehand. Deji created a petition for the retrieval of his pet, which currently sits at over 400,000 signatures as of January 23. He likewise uploaded a video to his second channel as an update for fans, stating that Tank “probably feels like he’s just been let go” after the six-month waiting period. Deji and his father were released on bail, and a court date has yet to be set to settle the matter.

Deji releases video of his dog biting neighbor after losing court case – Dexerto
Deji releases video of his dog biting neighbor after losing court case YouTube star Deji Olatunji has been ordered to put down his beloved German Shepherd pup, Tank, who allegedly attacked his neighbor in July 2018. CCTV footage of the incident has finally been released over a year later. Deji published footage of the purported attack on December 19, after being ordered to have the dog “destroyed” on December 17 upon losing his court case. Deji’s neighbors alleged that the dog left “serious” injuries to his neighbor who, came to grab a parcel from his doorstep, as well as the neighbor’s son-in-law. Footage provided by both law enforcement and Deji shows the neighbor attempting to open Deji’s front gate, after which Tank bolts into the yard, heading straight for the elderly woman. With the dog seemingly honed in on the neighbor, she raises the parcel in her hands to protect herself, swatting Tank with it as he appears to try to bite the woman. Using the parcel as a shield, the neighbor manages to shoo Tank away, and steps outside of the gate as the doors swing outward. The BBC likewise provided photos of the neighbor’s injuries, which show what appear to be multiple bite marks on her leg. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bot2v7ZhM5S/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link After the incident had been brought up with local law enforcement, Deji accused his neighbor of lying about the incident, claiming that Tank had merely “nipped” the woman and even alleged that her son-in-law had tried to kick the animal. Deji went on to allege that law enforcement were trying to suppress his side of the story on the incident, and was later fined £18,000 after admitting to owning a dangerous dog. However, Deji has since argued for the protection of his neighbor’s identity, after her name and addressed were included in articles regarding the biting. Both Deji, his older brother KSI, and his fanbase previously circulated a petition to help save Tank after the dog was taken into police custody in 2018 — but it seems as though the YouTuber may not get his pet back, following the December 17 court order. Deji likewise uploaded a video discussing the incident on December 17, announcing the fate of Tank, “the first dog I’ve ever owned,” with fans across the net expressing their sympathies in wake of the tragic situation.

Deji reacts to Logan Paul’s boxing challenge for KSI vs Jake undercard – Dexerto
Deji reacts to Logan Paul’s boxing challenge for KSI vs Jake undercard YouTube: RIL & WILLS, IMPAULSIVEYouTube star Deji has given his response after Logan Paul said he’d be willing to fight him on the undercard of KSI and Jake Paul’s boxing match — if it ever happens. Deji is taking the influencer-boxing world by storm after securing an exhibition match against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather for November. This marks Mayweather’s second major influencer-boxing match following his bout with Logan Paul last year — and Logan is taking notice of this development. In fact, the elder Paul brother said he’d be “absolutely” willing to fight Deji on the undercard of Jake Paul vs KSI, a bout that still has yet to be confirmed despite both parties seeming to agree to a 2023 bout. (Discussion begins at 16:19) Deji finally reacted to Logan’s comment during an episode of the RIL & WILLS podcast, where he seemed shocked by the challenge and unsure he would come out on top due to the sheer size difference between them. Deji reacts to Logan Paul claiming he’d “absolutely” fight him “You wanna give him something?” co-host Leon Wills asked. “He’s long though, isn’t it?” Deji replied. “Did you know Logan Paul said he wants to fight me?” Deji asked the hosts. “I heard that today.” “He can’t cut weight. He can’t get lower than ninety (kg),” Wills interjected. “He’s too big,” Vidal Riley said. “He shouldn’t be saying that to you. …just keep chilling with JJ.” (Topic begins at 22:00) Unfortunately, Deji didn’t give any other comments on the situation, but he was advised to steer clear. Deji says he would box Bryce Hall and Justin Bieber That being said, he also gave his thoughts on his “dream” boxing card — and says he would pick KSI vs Jake Paul as the main event, while he would fight Bryce Hall and even Justin Bieber, if possible. For now, it’s unclear when (or if) KSI and Jake Paul will touch gloves — but fans have plenty to look forward to in the interim as Jake gears up for his bout against Anderson Silva in October.

Deji opens up about feud with KSI for the first time after making apology video – Dexerto
Deji opens up about feud with KSI for the first time after making apology video Deji, KSI – YouTubePopular YouTuber Deji Olatunji has spoken out about his month-long feud with older brother ‘KSI,’ which came to a halt after he uploaded an apology video in early January. Deji reacted to various memes joking about his feud in a video on January 19, which marked his first upload since going dark on his main channel. Deji had a good laugh at a few of the memes, admitting that he and his brother are now on good terms after their vicious spat in late 2018. “Listen, alright, we’re cool now,” Deji explained through laughter. “Me and JJ, we’re cool. Brothers fight, alright, at the end of the day. I know it spiraled out a bit out of control, but brothers fight.” Deji likewise poked fun at his massive loss in subscribers during their fight, which saw him lose over 65,000 subs in the last thirty days (as presented by Social Blade as of January 19). The brothers’ spat began after Deji leaked KSI’s bank records for a diss track in late November, after which he accused his brother of getting a girl pregnant. The two went back and forth for nearly a month, with Deji even creating a diss track against his brother named ‘Unforgivable,’ as well as appearing on Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast to discuss the feud. Deji has since deleted the diss track, following a phone call with Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR and a message from the brothers’ parents, who claimed that their home was being targeted by angry fans.

Deji mocks Logan Paul for not getting paid by Floyd Mayweather – Dexerto
Deji mocks Logan Paul for not getting paid by Floyd Mayweather Instagram: comedygamerAlthough Deji fell short of a victory against Floyd Mayweather, he seemingly holds one win over Logan Paul as the British YouTube star actually got paid for his performance against boxing’s ‘pretty boy.’ When Logan Paul stepped into the ring against Floyd Mayweather in 2021, the internet stood still for eight rounds. It was an enormous spectacle bigger than any YouTube-boxing-era event before it, however, one-half of the equation left the venue that night with empty pockets. Paul was quick to make public the fact Mayweather didn’t hold up his end of the bargain. While the boxing icon walked away with tens of millions, the social media celeb remained empty-handed. In fact, months after their bout, Paul even moved to sue Mayweather over his lack of payment. More than a year on and the dispute still hasn’t been settled, with Paul now angling for a rematch on top of getting his original purse. In the meantime, British YouTuber and KSI’s younger brother Deji just so happened to box Mayweather. In doing so, he claimed he cashed in big well ahead of Paul. “I have to ask,” Sidemen’s Miniminter said to Deji during the latest episode of the What’s Good Podcast. “Just because of the Logan fight… I’m not asking how much, but did you get paid at least some of it upfront?” “Yes,” Deji responded without hesitation. While no exact amount was specified, it’s evident Deji got some of his fight purse before even so much as stepping into the ring with the undefeated Mayweather. Deji discusses his Mayweather payment at the 26:23 mark below. “Obviously, Logan when he fought, he keeps talking about how he still hasn’t gotten anything. And now you fought him, you got some of it at least,” Miniminter added. “I just have better management, agent, all of that,” Deji joked, poking fun at Paul in the process. Referring back to his fight with Vinnie Hacker at the now infamous YouTubers vs TikTokers event, Deji explained how he’s been in a similar situation before. After all, fighters on that particular card allegedly went without pay. Though Deji’s team was wise enough to secure their bag upfront and then repeated that tactic more recently heading into the Mayweather event.

Deji lays into KSI with heated diss track featuring Jallow, Dax, and Crypt – Dexerto
Deji lays into KSI with heated diss track featuring Jallow, Dax, and Crypt YouTuber Deji Olatunji has followed up on his December 6 tease of a new diss track by releasing a video that takes aim at his brother, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and holds absolutely nothing back. For the last week, the brothers have been going back and forth in a series of videos after KSI blocked Deji on social media for revealing his pregnancy scandal in a video posted on November 30. Despite KSI having since apologized and begged for an end to the high-profile feud, the pleas have fallen on deaf ears as Deji dropped a scathing diss track on December 6. The track is a collaboration with fellow YouTubers Jallow, Dax, and Crypt, with each dedicating a lengthy verse aimed at the controversial YouTuber. Deji starts things out and sets the tone by alluding to the fact that he feels KSI turned on his family. “How can a man choose friends over family…Text my parents to try and get rid of me / How in the hell have you not lost dignity?” are some of the most pointed lines regarding KSI’s actions over the last week. He didn’t stop there, however, choosing to once again bring up the pregnancy scandal, which ended up being a main portion of each rapper’s verses. Perhaps the most savage of all the mentions of the scandal came from Jallow who raps “You baited out Deji for texting those girls, but you’re on your fourth abortion.” It wouldn’t be a diss track if there wasn’t a tease at something even bigger, however, and this one didn’t disappoint. The video ends with Dax mimicking a phone call in which he says “Hey Lele Pons, where you at?” which perhaps is alluding to the secret girlfriend of KSI who’s identity has been kept under wraps. While Logan Paul was convinced of her identity, it looks like might have been far offbase and that she’s actually popular YouTuber Lele Pons. KSI has yet to publically respond to the diss track, but there’s no doubt that some sort of response will be on its way before long.

Deji lashes out at KSI’s new track, ‘Beerus’ – Dexerto
Deji lashes out at KSI’s new track, ‘Beerus’ Deji, KSI – YouTubePopular YouTuber Deji Olatunji is in the midst of a bitter feud with his older brother, YouTuber ‘KSI.’ KSI released his track ‘Beerus’ on December 14 alongside his cameraman, Randolph – and Deji gave the song a scathing review. Deji began his review of the track by claiming that his brother suffers from a “god complex,” referencing the title of KSI’s previous diss track, ‘Ares,’ and comparing it to the title of his latest song, ‘Beerus.’ The title references the popular Dragon Ball character Beerus, otherwise known as the ‘God of Destruction,’ who is a main antagonist in the series with incredible power. “He’s called the ‘God of Destruction,’ and you’re telling me my brother doesn’t have a god complex,” Deji began. “First Aries, now he’s the God of Destruction. You can say he doesn’t have a god complex, but you know what, yeah, cool.” Deji went on to slam Sidemen member Randolph, admitting that he would “happily punch him in the face” if he ever saw him again. He even claimed that Randolph was responsible for ruining his relationship with KSI, implying that the cameraman is an avid brown-noser. “You can suck my dick,” Deji said to Randolph. “You can choke, bitch. Honestly, I hate you.” Despite Deji’s enmity with his brother, he went on to state that KSI’s rapping “wasn’t bad,” visibly jamming along to the beat. KSI has since revealed that he is going on tour, hoping that ‘Beerus’ will get audiences “hype” and give them “something to mosh to.”

Deji lashes out at KEEMSTAR for questioning legitimacy of parents’ video KEEMSTAR, Twitter / Deji, YouTubePopular YouTuber Deji Olatunji is taking aim at Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem, after he addressed a video featuring Deji’s parents on January 1, 2019. KEEMSTAR appeared to speculate the legitimacy of a video posted to Deji’s channel on the same day, which featured his mother and father. The Olatunji parents called for a stop to the “hate” against their sons, claiming that their home was being attacked by angry fans in the midst of the brothers’ quarrel. “It has now gotten to the point that fans are coming to our house very late at night,” Deji’s mother stated. “Even the police now are concerned for our own safety.” KEEMSTAR then stated that he wasn’t sure if their claims were true or not, which Deji seemed to took issue with. Deji called out KEEMSTAR in a Tweet shortly after the Drama Alert episode went live, stating that KEEM was inciting hatred toward his family. “Can you stop fuelling the hate towards my parents,” Deji wrote – to which KEEMSTAR had an incredulous reply. Keem wrote in a retweet, following up with a video further explaining his stance on the matter. “…I strongly suggest that you delete your Tweet,” Keemstar warned. “ …you’re on some bullshit, bro. That ain’t gonna fly.” While Deji has yet to respond to KEEMSTAR’s reply, this isn’t the first time KEEM has doubted the legitimacy of Deji’s videos; in a previous Drama Alert episode, KEEM likewise speculated that Deji was milking his beef with his older brother, KSI, for views (which may not be working out, as the YouTuber is losing mass subscribers on a daily basis).

Deji isn’t the only brother suffering from the feud, either; KSI likewise saw a drop in subs, losing around 1,500 subscribers on December 20 and 23. However, unlike his little bro, KSI has bounced back considerably, now gaining a daily average of 2,182 subs. https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/comedyshortsgamer KSI isn’t the only one to have accused Deji of using the spat for views; Drama Alert’s Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem speculated that the youngest Olatunji brother was riding the argument to keep his “dying channel” afloat in an episode on December 7.

Deji’s jab at Jake Paul backfires ahead of KSI vs Logan Paul rematch – Dexerto
Deji’s jab at Jake Paul backfires ahead of KSI vs Logan Paul rematch Deji, Jake Paul – YouTubeThe highly-anticipated boxing rematch between YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul won’t feature any other social media stars on its undercard – but that isn’t stopping YouTuber Deji from making a callback to last year’s fight. KSI and Logan Paul’s match in 2018 saw a slew of YouTubers on its undercard, including a fight between Team 10 co-founder Jake Paul and the “comedyshortsgamer” Deji Olatunji. However, the fight didn’t exactly pan out in Deji’s favor – Jake Paul won their bout by TKO in the fourth round, after Deji’s corner threw in the towel. Despite Jake’s convincing victory, the youngest Paul brother didn’t go unscathed: he suffered a slew of headshots from Deji during their fight, leading to a hilarious video compilation that featured the YouTuber getting punched in the face 40 times – a fact that Deji made sure to bring up ahead of his older brother’s rematch. “Crazy how last year I did this to Jake Paul,” Deji Tweeted next to a picture of Jake Paul’s bloodied face from their 2018 fight. “Time flies by, crazy!” Crazy how last year I did this to Jake Paul. Time flies by, crazy! pic.twitter.com/lmkphNRZ1v — Deji (@Deji) September 5, 2019 Deji’s jab didn’t go unnoticed: while some fans encouraged this continuing beef between the YouTubers, others clowned him for the post, with fellow YouTuber Yousef “FouseyTube” Arakat taking the opportunity to roast Deji. “Have you acquired memory loss in the last year as well?” Fousey wrote, reminding him that, despite giving Paul a beating, he ultimately lost their fight. have you acquired memory loss in the last year as well? :woozy: https://t.co/huT68vgmQX — Yousef Erakat. (@fousey) September 5, 2019 This wouldn’t be the first time Fousey has called out Deji, either: the two started a beef in August, with Deji challenging Arakat to a sparring match during a livestream, claiming that his opponent was “nowhere near ready” to face him. Not one to be outdone, Fouseytube responded to the callout in a YouTube video, claiming that he wanted “all the smoke” with both Deji and Jake Paul. However, with KSI vs Logan Paul 2 going pro, it looks like these YouTubers will have to settle their differences on a smaller stage – although word of an official fight between the three stars has yet to be announced in light of the November 9 rematch.

Deji hits back at YouTube subscriber botting accusations – Dexerto
Deji hits back at YouTube subscriber botting accusations YouTube: DejiOladeji ‘Deji’ Olatunji has come under fire from Pierce ‘Kavos’ Kavanagh and the wider YouTube community for allegedly botting his way to 10 million YouTube subscribers. However, he has defended himself, saying that even he knows it “doesn’t add up.” Deji’s 10 million subscriber celebration was meant to be something special for the long-time YouTuber. Breaching into eight figures is a milestone only a handful of YouTubers have achieved before him. However, it’s been marred with controversy. First, he reportedly faked an illness and delayed his 10 million subscriber special, which led to the YouTuber’s subscriber count falling back under. Now, allegations have arisen that he actually botted his way to the milestone in the first place. British YouTuber Kavos, who boasts over 1 million subscribers himself, called out Deji’s “unusual” SocialBlade stats. He had stalled out at around 9.95 million subscribers, but over the course of five days, went up by 10,000 a day to break 10 million. This was all without a major change in his daily view stats. His suspicions were ‘confirmed’ when a company by the name of FreewaySocial stepped forward, saying that Deji allegedly paid them $2,000 to purchase 50,000 YouTube subscribers. The PayPal receipts and orders were in the YouTuber’s name, while email addresses attached to the account were reportedly connected to his parents. The reason Thomas, the owner of FreewaySocial, released the information publicly was because Deji allegedly submitted a PayPal chargeback after dropping back below 10 million subscribers. “Deji started losing YouTube subscribers right after reaching the 10 million mark, and he thought that they were [botted] subscribers that were dropped,” he said. “I kept explaining to him that these were his own subscribers that dropped, but he wasn’t convinced.” Buying YouTube subscribers is against YouTube’s “Fake Engagement Policy,” which prohibits content creators from “artificially increasing the number of views, likes, comments or other metrics.” “This is against YouTube terms of service,” Kavos added. “This is so against the rules. Deji’s channel might get terminated after this. It’s all Deji’s undoing as well. No one can ever trust [him] again.” Deji has denied all allegations, asking other creators to stop creating drama and “leave [him] alone,” as well as threatening FreewaySocial with legal action. “I’ve never heard of [FreewaySocial] ever,” he said in a statement on May 17. “He leaked an IP address claiming it was mine, but it’s not. I don’t owe you any money. I don’t know who the f**k you are. If you want to go legal with this, I’m 100% down.” “They always somehow find a way to link my brother [KSI] into this, and it’s just so f**king annoying. I have no knowledge of any of this. This is so bizarre. I just want to be left alone,” the online star continued. YouTube is yet to take action or issue a statement, but we will update you if they do. As of publishing, Deji’s now-9.93 million subscriber account is still active on the video-hosting platform.

Deji heightens beef with Wassabi in new ‘Breakup’ video – Dexerto
Deji heightens beef with Wassabi in new ‘Breakup’ video YouTuber Oladeji ‘Deji’ Olatunji took more shots at fellow YouTuber Alex Wassabi in a new video, where he further mocked Wassabi’s breakup with ex-girlfriend Lauren. Deji partnered with YouTuber Anjie Jane Cali to create a skit poking fun at Wassabi’s breakup videos. The skit acts as a parody of these two breakup videos, and featured a fake ‘breakup’ between the two YouTubers over arbitrary reasons, such as a difference over favorite foods and television shows. Additionally, the YouTuber insinuated that Wassabi’s relationship had never been real in the first place, as Anjie stated that “Dejelica” had “never been a thing.” “I’m breaking up, but buy my merch,” Deji said through fake tears. Deji’s video further fuels the flames between himself and Alex Wassabi, who had gotten into it with the YouTuber over another video he’d made criticizing their public breakup. Wassabi even stated that he would knock Deji out over the debacle, and asked him to keep Lauren’s name out of his mouth. Of course, Deji didn’t comply, and created a response Tweet that mentioned her name six times. While Wassabi has yet to respond to this latest installment in their beef, one thing is for certain – this drama is far from over.

The younger brother of KSI, Deji started out strong in the bout against the older Paul brother, bloodying Jake’s nose in the first couple rounds before eventually losing by TKO in the fifth.

The feud started when Deji made a video calling out Alex’s breakup with longtime girlfriend LaurDIY as “fake.” Alex responded on Twitter saying he would knock Deji out if he ever said Lauren’s name again. yo @deji. make all the desperate for views vids u want about me but if u even speak laurens name again I’ll end u. not a threat bruv it’s a promise. say one more thing about us & next time I see u Im knocking ur pathetic untalented ass out. stay in ur bros shadow where u belong — Alex Wassabi (@AlexWassabi) September 19, 2018 As Alex should have guessed, Deji promptly said Lauren’s name as many times as he could in 240 characters. Lauren finally realised what a waste of space you truely are. Lauren can now finally grow as a better person now that she’s away from you. Lauren is finally out to get some better dick haha. Lauren, Lauren…Lauren https://t.co/V14vFq0cqp — Deji (@Deji) September 19, 2018 Now the tension has escalated with Deji calling out Alex directly through a six-minute rant on his channel. “My brother literally said he was going to pay for your flight to come out here, and you literally declined it, because you are a pussy,” Deji said. “You’ll make up an excuse and say ‘I’m too good for you’ or ‘my fans don’t like it when I’m in drama.’ You’re full of shit, you’re a bitch.” Strong words for a guy who is 0-1 in his professional boxing career but Alex doesn’t have nearly the same reach Jake Paul did and – just from side-by-side comparison – if this fight were to happen, I would say Deji is definitely the favorite. Here’s the video if you want to see the rest for yourself:

Deji finally updates fans following feud with KSI – Dexerto
Deji finally updates fans following feud with KSI Deji, KSI – YouTubePopular YouTubers Deji and Olajide “KSI” Olatunji are no strangers to internet drama, getting caught up in fierce feuds with each other twice this year – and Deji is finally speaking out about the aftermath of their latest fight. The youngest Olatunji brother uploaded a video to YouTube on August 12, explaining that he is genuinely happy with his current content and doesn’t care about public opinion regarding his channel. “I’m actually in such a happy place on YouTube right now,” Deji said in his video, titled ‘I have to talk about this.’ “I’ve actually never been in a happier place. I’m doing what I want to do on YouTube and I don’t really care about what people think.” 600Deji likewise stated that he isn’t concerned with losing subscribers in wake of his highly publicized arguments with KSI, calling the loss “dead weight.” Read More: Spratt reveals why he’s leaving OpTic Gaming – “I know I’m losing subs and everything, but to be honest, I don’t care,” he continued. “Losing subs to me is actually a good thing, ‘cause it’s dead weight.” What happened between Deji and KSI? The feud between Deji and KSI spans several months, beginning in late 2018 after Deji dropped a diss track against KSI’s BFF and cameraman Randolph, which blatantly showcased KSI’s private bank records. Things turned up yet another notch after Deji accused his brother of getting a girl pregnant in response to Randolph’s ensuing diss track – an accusation that saw KSI block his little bro on social media. That’s not all: Deji went on to release a diss track against KSI, and even made an appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast to discuss the drama – a serious offense, considering that Paul is KSI’s number one rival. The two even got into a heated argument on Christmas day, as told by now-deleted audio recordings that resulted in KSI being kicked out of his parents’ home on the holiday. While the two made up after Deji removed his diss track against his brother, he later relisted the video in early May, resulting in yet another explosive feud that saw him accuse KSI of physical and emotional abuse. Proceedings have been relatively quiet following KSI’s thorough debunking of Deji’s allegations – until now, with Deji appearing happy and content as to his current career on YouTube.

Deji faces backlash over old YouTube video intro – Dexerto
Deji faces backlash over old YouTube video intro Popular YouTube personality Oladeji Daniel ‘Deji’ Olatunji has sparked criticism after an old video intro of his resurfaced online, which contained some highly controversial content. Before he took the YouTube vlogging world by storm, the 23-year-old used to post gaming videos under the moniker ‘ComedyShortsGamer.’ He later changed it to Deji in August of 2018 after his content shifted focus. However, on December 27, a video intro from his gaming days resurfaced on Twitter which showed an animation of the British star performing a questionable act, and people aren’t happy about it. Deji’s old YouTube video intro In an August 2013 upload titled “Fifa 13 | Team Korea | NEW INTRO,” the London-born personality debuted the introduction, which showed him rendering a woman unconscious with a chloroform-soaked cloth. “Hey, baby, my name’s ComedyShortsGamer,” the animated version of Deji said upon walking up to the girl, who rolled her eyes at his advances and ignored him. He then proceeded to knock her out with chloroform and drag her by her legs. The YouTuber later updated his future videos with a new clip, but kept the uploads with the animation in on his channel – something which has now resurfaced over six years later to angry Twitter users. (Timestamp of 00:08 for mobile viewers.) https://youtu.be/XtEG0qHUnoQ?t=8 After user ‘MLJoee’ posted the video online, many people responded in shock – including Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem. “This is not real? No way!” the 37-year-old quote-tweeted in disbelief at what he had seen. Another tweet from ‘MrMoonAndPals’ went viral, accumulating over 2,300 retweets and 16,100 likes since December 26 at this time of writing. “Daily reminder this was once [ComedyShortsGamers] intro,” it read, alongside the clip of the questionable animation. https://twitter.com/MrMoonAndPals/status/1210368136245129216 Popular YouTuber James Marriott weighed in on the situation, and joked, “Can you all just shut up about 2020 being your year. It is clearly ComedyShortsGamer’s so everyone else can step the f**k aside.” Can you all just shut up about 2020 being your year. It is clearly ComedyShortsGamer’s so everyone else can step the fuck aside. — James Marriott (@JamesMarriottYT) December 27, 2019 Not everyone saw issue with it, though, and many have simply chalked it up to being “edgy 2013 comedy” and not a cause for concern. As of this time of writing, Deji has yet to address this latest controversy, but Dexerto has reached out to him for comment.

Deji exposed for using popular YouTuber David Dobrik’s tags in fight with KSI – Dexerto
Deji exposed for using popular YouTuber David Dobrik’s tags in fight with KSI KSI, Deji – YouTube / Itemlive.comYouTuber Deji Olatunji is in a bitter feud with his older brother KSI, which some have claimed that Deji is drawing out for the sake of views and subscribers. Now, even more details have been exposed concerning Deji’s alleged tactics – with his recent videos being linked to those of popular vlogger David Dobrik. YouTuber Pierce ‘Kavos’ Kavanagh did some digging through Deji’s recent uploads during an episode of ‘Who or What’s Happening Online’ on December 9. Thanks to his research, Kavos discovered that Deji has been using the tags of popular YouTuber David Dobrik in his own videos, starting from November 21. According to Kavos, Deji had gone so far as to copy and paste the tags into his video description in his videos concerning his feud with KSI, which he speculated may have been an attempt to boost his viewership, as his channel had been losing subscribers daily before the beef with his brother began. “This really does not help your case, Deji,” Kavos stated. “Where people are saying, ‘You did all this for views.’” Additionally, Kavos claimed that Deji had broken YouTube’s terms of service in using Dobrik’s tags, citing the site’s “misleading metadata” clause as proof of the accusation. While Deji has yet to respond to Kavos’ findings, he vehemently denied rumors claiming that he backstabbed KSI to boost his subscriber count in a video on December 8, likewise claiming that his brother’s public attempts to make peace weren’t “genuine.”

Deji explains why he’s boxing on KSI undercard despite previously quitting – Dexerto
Deji explains why he’s boxing on KSI undercard despite previously quitting YouTube: DejiBritish YouTuber Deji Olatunji has admitted that he’s fighting on his brother KSI’s upcoming fight card because can’t stay away from boxing even though he is yet to pick up a win. Over the years, a number of YouTubers have dipped their toe into the world of boxing by having at least one fight – with many of them deciding that one fight is enough, regardless of whether they win or lose. In the case of Deji, he’s stepped into the boxing ring three times and lost three times – first to Jake Paul, then to Vinnie Hacker, and most recently, Alex Wassabi. While the British YouTuber said he’d be quitting the sport and giving up trying to claim a win of his own, he’s actually fighting on the August 27th card that’s headlined by his brother KSI. Why, you might ask? Well, he’s trying to set an example for others. Deji returns to YouTube ahead of August 27 fight On July 30, Deji made his return to YouTube by posting his first video since losing to Alex Wassabi as he addressed the fact that he’ll be fighting Fousey on that star-studded fight card. “I know I said I wasn’t going to fight again but I just love the sport too much and I just don’t give up, I can’t do it,” Deji told his viewers. “I’m doing this for myself, I don’t really care if people are like ‘don’t fight again’ I want to fight again, so I’m doing it, as simple as that. “I just don’t give up and I also want to show other people not to give up too. So that’s why I want to set an example because I know a lot of people that have given up and it has gone the wrong way but I want to show that… look at me, I don’t give up.” While some would probably forgive him for taking an easy fight, Deji isn’t doing that. Fousey has plenty of in-ring experience of his own, and even KSI acknowledged it’ll be a tough test for his brother. If he does get his long-awaited win then it’s really anyone’s guess of whether he’d look to keep fighting or finally hang up the gloves for good. So, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Deji defends Logan Paul against KSI, claims he’s “disgusted” with his brother Deji, Access, KSI – YouTubePopular YouTuber Deji Olatunji continues to take shots at his older brother KSI, claiming that he is “disgusted” by his reaction to Logan Paul’s emotional end of year video, among other complaints. Deji uploaded a response to KSI’s reaction video on January 5, where he took issue with his brother’s comments toward a clip from Logan Paul’s 2018 recap. KSI broke into laughter at a clip of Logan giving a weepy embrace to his younger brother, Jake, which appeared to have been filmed just after the KSI vs Logan Paul boxing match on August 25, 2018. KSI expressed some confusion as to why Logan was crying and even went on to insult his rival, calling him a “pussy” for his emotional response to the bout. Deji didn’t understand why KSI’s reaction to the video was humorous, and admitted that he’d congratulated Paul on the video, claiming that it “touched” him to the point that he’d sent his compliments in a text to the YouTuber. “Why is he laughing at Logan crying?” Deji asked. “…that shit touched me. It touched me to the point that I texted him. I texted him saying I loved it, it was amazing, it absolutely touched me. It motivated me.” Deji went on to respond to his brother’s reaction toward a few of his own videos, referencing their family feud and claiming that he’s moved on from the beef – despite his brother’s scathing comments toward him.

Deji defends his abuse allegations against KSI, pledges to end public feud – Dexerto
Deji defends his abuse allegations against KSI, pledges to end public feud KSI – YouTube / Deji – YouTubeThe latest chapter in the ongoing Oladeji Daniel ‘Deji‘ Olatunji and Olajide William ‘KSI‘ Olatunji saga is out now, and it could also be the last as Deji promises to take the feud out of the public eye. In a response to KSI’s very lengthy video, Deji defended his initial claims while also saying he will be no longer publically commenting on the feud. He says this feud should’ve never spilled over to YouTube where many details that should probably have remained private were thrown into the spotlight and amplified. KSI and Deji. Deji uploaded a much shorter than usual video explaining his decision to move on from the feud, while also saying his first video wasn’t meant to be an attack on his brother. “As much as people want to say my video was an attack, it definitely was not an attack,” he said. “It was literally me just standing up for myself because I just didn’t like being seen as the bad guy. I wanted to give people reasons to why I re-uploaded the diss track. That was all my intention was.” There were a lot of accusations made by Deji in his video and he stands by them, despite KSI supposedly exposing several of them in his response. Even so, Deji is moving forward with the drama, at least as far as the YouTube videos are concerned. “I’m going to be handling everything privately now with my bro,” he said. “It sucks that things went public.” Will KSI respond? While Deji has said he is taking the feud out of the public eye, KSI has made no such claim, and it’s entirely possible he has no plans to do so. KSI hasn’t tweeted since June 3, the day he uploaded his response to Deji. If he does respond to this, he would likely do so on Twitter or in a new YouTube video.

Deji claims that the police are trying to censor one of his videos – Dexerto
Deji claims that the police are trying to censor one of his videos YouTuber Deji Olatjuni’s dog, Tank, has been taken by the police – and now he believes that they’re trying to censor his video on the topic. Deji, brother to YouTuber and white-collar boxer KSI, recently uploaded a video updating audiences on the whereabouts of his one-year-old German Shepherd dog ‘Tank.’ In the video, Deji states that the police have made multiple attempts to censor his initial video, detailing the altercation that resulted in Tank’s deposition. He described an instance in which he was called by a lawyer who asked him to take the video down. He said: “They’ve got some lawyer from out of nowhere, claiming to be my lawyer, trying to take down the video. You’re just a fake person! Go away!” Additionally, Deji stated that the police were constantly calling him at all hours, even in the middle of the night, using a number without a Caller ID and leaving multiple voice messages. He said that this has left him feeling harassed, and has threatened to expose the police for these practises. A petition regarding the incident has also been published, with over 249,000 signatures calling for Tank’s release as of September 12.

Deji claims neighbors are lying about his dog’s attack – Dexerto
Deji claims neighbors are lying about his dog’s attack YouTuber Oladeji ‘Deji’ Olatunji feels that his neighbors are exaggerating their claims that they were bitten by his German Shepherd dog, Tank. Deji addressed an article from the Blast, which contained statements from the neighbors and local law enforcement that Tank bit two people, causing major injuries. Deji cited footage from his CCTV camera, where he saw only one of his neighbors getting bitten. In addition, he described the bite as a ‘nip,’ which he says was incited by the neighbor hitting Tank on the snout with a package she had come to collect from their doorstep. The article stated that Tank attacked his neighbor’s son-in-law, as well, which Deji firmly denies. Deji also claimed that one of the neighbors attempted to kick his dog following the incident, which he believes was an attempt to get a rise out of the animal. “You know why?” Deji asked. “Because he wanted the dog to attack him, so he could make a claim.” The article held that the police did not steal Tank, which Deji claimed occurred after he had placed the dog in a kennel following the incident. Police required Deji to sign an ‘Acceptable Dog Contract’ under the 1991 Dangerous Dog Act. While they say that Tank is being held in a kennel, they deny any claims that the dog is being trained as a police K-9. Deji feels the neighbor’s claims in the article are an attempt at a “quick cash grab.” He also published a petition for Tank’s return, which has received over 300,000 signatures as of September 16.

Deji claims last-minute request from Floyd Mayweather drastically changed fight – Dexerto
Deji claims last-minute request from Floyd Mayweather drastically changed fight YouTube: DejiYouTube star Deji opened up about his exhibition match against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, claiming his opponent asked for a significant last-minute change to their fight. Deji went six rounds with undefeated former boxing champion Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather on November 13 — but despite bagging his first big win against YouTuber Fouseytube in August, he couldn’t hold his own against the ‘Pretty Boy.’ Deji’s bout with Mayweather at the Coca-Cola Arena also saw some drama happen between attendees, with fellow influencer-boxer Jake Paul claiming he was told to leave the building, saying Floyd apparently wouldn’t fight unless he vacated the premises. Now, Deji himself is chiming in on the beef, claiming that Mayweather had made a big change to their fight at the very last minute. Deji claims Mayweather changed gloves from 14 oz to 10 oz On November 14 — just a day after his match with Mayweather — Deji uploaded a YouTube video where he described his experience before, during, and after getting in the ring with one of boxing’s most successful athletes. According to Deji, he and Mayweather had been contractually obligated to fight with 14 oz gloves… but the YouTuber claims that Floyd wanted 10 oz gloves instead on the day of the fight. “Last-minute, they’re like, ‘Floyd wants to fight with 10 oz gloves,’” he recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Wait, what? That was never part of our contract. What is going on? I don’t understand why it’s gone from 14 to 10, when it was 14 from the get-go.’” Eventually, Deji said he “conceded” to the change after a “long” back-and-forth with Mayweather’s team… but that wasn’t the only mix-up to happen during their highly-anticipated match. Deji also claimed that he went into the bout under the impression that Mayweather would go “at his pace,” and was even told by a member of the Money Team that he could ask his opponent to take it easy during clinches. The YouTuber says that when he asked his opponent to slow down during a clinch, Mayweather allegedly shot back: “Shut up, I’m Floyd Mayweather, I do what I want.” “It was, essentially, a pro fight,” Deji said of the match. “Madness.” That being said, Deji was jazzed that he managed to give Floyd a black eye, which he chalked up to a “W” in spite of his loss to the 50-0 pro. Deji’s allegations follow dozens of pleas from fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, who has repeatedly claimed that Mayweather has failed to pay him for their exhibition match in 2021.

Deji claims he can “drop” Jake Paul after his boxing win over AnEsonGib – Dexerto
Deji claims he can “drop” Jake Paul after his boxing win over AnEsonGib Deji, DAZN – YouTubeYouTube star Jake Paul shocked the internet after downing opponent AnEsonGib in the first round of their debut pro boxing match — but there’s another content creator who has his eyes set on the victor. Deji Olatunji, younger brother to KSI, notably boxed against Jake Paul in August 2018 on the initial KSI vs Logan Paul undercard. While the Team 10 founder came out of the ring with a bloody nose, it was Deji who suffered a loss after going five rounds with his opponent in the Manchester Arena. Despite these highly-publicized results, it doesn’t look like Deji is through with his former rival, as evidenced by a series of Twitter posts after Gib’s own defeat on January 30. “Lemme fight Jake again, I promise I will finish him this time!” Deji confidently posted, after expressing incredulity at the British boxer had lost. “Don’t doubt me, I will finish him,” he continued. “I will prove to you all what I’m capable of, stay tuned.” Deji later took to YouTube to further express these sentiments, where he claimed that he would “drop” Jake, should they get the chance to meet in the ring once more. “I know deep down in my heart I could have finished Jake,” he began. “I know that for a fact. If I didn’t get struck with the nerves… I know I could finish Jake. If I have a chance to finish him, I know I’ll drop him. And I know I will.” Despite his confidence in the matter, it doesn’t look like the internet is too convinced, with fellow YouTuber Adam Saleh suggesting that the Brit take on a smaller personality before going back to the big game. “First you gotta get through Slim honey boo boo,” Saleh replied. “Don’t doubt him.” First you gotta get through @SlimmySlim94 honey boo boo . Don’t doubt him 😏 https://t.co/mxRcMn9KIV — Adam Saleh (@omgAdamSaleh) January 31, 2020 That’s not all; both Slim and Saleh teased that the former’s next boxing opponent could very well be Deji in a February 1 video, although this has yet to be confirmed at the time of writing. With Jake setting his sights on KSI in revenge for Logan Paul’s 2019 rematch loss, it doesn’t look like Deji will be taking a bite out of his former rival anytime soon — no matter how he feels about their 2018 bout.

Deji challenges Justin Bieber to boxing match and says he would “KO” him – Dexerto
Deji challenges Justin Bieber to boxing match and says he would “KO” him YouTube: Good Morning America, InsideFightingYouTube star Deji Olatunji has officially called out pop icon Justin Bieber to a boxing match — and even predicted he’d knockout the music artist in the ring. Deji is rocking the world of influencer boxing, becoming the second major content creator to take on the undefeated Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in the ring this November. This marks his fifth boxing match. Deji’s record currently sits at 1-3, with the YouTuber scoring his first victory over Fouseytube on August 27 to mass appeal from fans. With his biggest fight ever on the way, Deji is already setting his sights even higher… and he’s got a pretty prominent opponent in his sights, should everything work out. In a recent interview, Deji admitted that his dream boxing card would see the appearance of Justin Bieber. While he’s best known for his music career, Bieber has been using boxing as a way to maintain his fitness for some time, even being trained by Mayweather as far back as 2014. Deji says he’d KO Justin Bieber in boxing match Deji doubled down on this ambitious take in another recent interview with Inside Fighting, where he directly called out Justin Bieber for a boxing match and even said he’d “KO” the pop star if the two ever meet in the ring. “That’d be fun,” Deji said of the possibility. “Yeah, I’ll fight Bieber.” “How does that fight end? By KO?” the interviewer asked. “Yeah,” Deji answered. “What’s your message to Bieber, if he’s watching this?” “Fight me,” the YouTuber challenged. It’s currently unclear if Bieber will ever take up Deji on his offer, but he’s been somewhat involved in the influencer-boxing scene beforehand. In fact, he was a VIP for the famous rematch between Logan Paul and KSI back in 2019, and even backed the older Paul brother with a brutal message to KSI. This prompted a little one-sided rivalry between KSI and Bieber, with the British YouTuber saying he’d “destroy” the singer in a boxing match. Considering Bieber’s current battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, it’s unclear if we’ll ever see him take part in the influencer-boxing beef… but it’s clear that Deji isn’t backing down from his “dream” fight.

Deji calls out Justin Bieber & Liam Payne after Floyd Mayweather boxing match – Dexerto
Deji calls out Justin Bieber & Liam Payne after Floyd Mayweather boxing match Following his exhibition main event against 50-0 boxer Floyd Mayweather, YouTuber star Deji set his sights on Justin Bieber and Liam Payne, calling on them both to step into the ring. It’s not uncommon for boxers to be asked who they want to take on next at the end of their fights. But where professional boxers will call out title holders, rivals, or wave makers; influencer boxers tend to take shots at whoever carries the most clout. History seemingly repeated itself after Floyd Mayweather danced his way to victory over the YouTuber Deji. Even after fighting one of the greatest boxers to ever step into the ring, Deji chose to rattle off a few names of celebrities who hadn’t shown an interest in boxing beforehand. This isn’t the first time Deji has taken a chance at calling out big names only to hear no response. In early October, Deji stated his dream fight would be against pop megastar Justin Bieber, and he would later double down on this challenge in an interview leading up to the Mayweather fight. Deji challenges Justin Bieber again, along with Liam Payne Deji’s exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather was anything but pretty. Floyd started the match knowing he could finish it at any time and treated it more like a play date rather than an actual fight. This was proven in the sixth round when the referee stopped the fight early due to Deji’s inability to compete with one of the greatest. Regardless, Deji was still given the opportunity to call out future opponents following the match. And he once again had Bieber on the brain, calling out the Canadian popstar to a fight. However, he also threw former One Direction member Liam Payne into the mix this time. When Deji was asked what he wants to do next in the world of combat sports, he responded, “I want to keep fighting. I wouldn’t mind fighting Justin Bieber. Liam Payne. Anyone who wants it, really. I want all the smoke.” Justin Bieber has yet to acknowledge any of Deji’s three challenges, and Liam hasn’t said anything regarding call out. We will keep readers updated if and when the Beebs and Payne respond.

Deji calls out Fouseytube ahead of KSI vs Logan Paul rematch Deji, Fouseytube / YouTubeThe highly anticipated boxing rematch between YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul is set to throw down on November 9, but word is still out on an undercard – that is, until recently. KSI’s little brother and fellow YouTuber Deji Olatunji called out social media star Yousef “Fouseytube” Erakat during a livestream over the August 23 weekend, challenging him to a sparring match just three months ahead of the rematch. “Hey Fousey, if you wanna spar, let’s go, alright?” Deji proposed. “… I tried contacting you – we talked for a bit, and then you just ghosted.

However, Jake denied Deji a rematch in the months following their initial bout, claiming that he wanted to box someone with “clout” – and YouTuber Bradley Martyn might be up for the challenge. Martyn responded to news outlet “TheBreadBatch’s” Instagram post on the subject, posting a single “waving” emoji in response: as both a content creator and a bodybuilder, Martyn could make a formidable opponent for Paul, should he accept. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_9M4uB-Em/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe KSI vs Logan Paul rematch will throw down in the Los Angeles Staples Center on November 9, although ticketing and livestream information have yet to be released at the time of writing – but fans can bet that this fight will be one to remember.

Deji blocked by Bhad Bhabie over YouTube feud – Dexerto
Deji blocked by Bhad Bhabie over YouTube feud Rapper and personality “Bhad Bhabie” shocked the net with her viral appearance on Dr. Phil in 2017, challenging anyone and everyone to “cash her outside” – but it doesn’t look like she’s entertaining offers from top YouTubers. In fact, Bhabie – real name Danielle Bregoli – has blocked YouTube star Deji Olatunji on Twitter, the younger brother to fellow YouTuber and white-collar boxer KSI. Her reason? So far, it’s unclear, but Deji speculates that the reality TV star-turned-rapper took issue with his diss track against her, which was uploaded around the same time that she went viral in 2017. Deji’s diss track, titled “Danielle Broccoli,” took some not-so-subtle shots at the budding star, calling her a “14-year-old b*tch” and even poked fun at her adolescence: “Just hit puberty, girl, do you breasts hurt?” Of course, Bhabie wasn’t too pleased with this diss track, and allegedly claimed his video on grounds of copyright violation – but she never directly reacted to the song, leading Deji to believe that her latest move on social media was a response to the upload. Bhabie’s Twitter block also follows her recent fist fight with fellow internet star “Woah Vicky,” which saw the two tussling at a recording studio in late October. Of course, the feud isn’t over between the two celebs, with Bhabie challenging Vicky via Instagram to “pull up with no dudes… nobody holding nobody back.” With tensions high between Bregoli and other online personalities, it comes as little surprise that the rapper threw a block Deji’s way – but with neither Deji nor Bhabie actually confirming the reason for their feud (which comes two years after their initial spat), there’s no telling what’s actually going on between the two of them. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B0g3cSegE7V/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkDeji’s reaction Tweet also follows his appearance in UK court alongside his mother last week, after the two were charged with owning a “dangerous dog.” Now, it looks like Deji’s German Shepard pup Tank could be “destroyed” in wake of attacking his neighbor last year, marking a potentially disheartening end to the YouTuber’s long lasting campaign to retrieve the animal.

Deji announces social media break after YouTubers vs TikTokers loss to Vinnie Hacker – Dexerto
Deji announces social media break after YouTubers vs TikTokers loss to Vinnie Hacker YouTube: DejiYouTuber Deji has announced he’s going to be taking a break from social media to work on himself, following his loss to TikToker Vinnie Hacker at the Battle of the Platforms fight event. Viewers couldn’t take their eyes off the action on June 12 when a series of popular YouTubers and TikTokers stepped into the ring to find out once and for all who the better platform is. With the fights including Tayler Holder vs. Gib, and Austin McBroom vs. Bryce Hall, social media was in a frenzy, and there were plenty of wild and often unpredictable moments that made the night one to remember. In a shock result, TikToker Vinnie Hacker took the win over YouTuber Deji, which turned out to be the only win for the TikTok side. Here’s the post match interview with Vinnie Hacker pic.twitter.com/cVGhfd7meY — Dexerto (@Dexerto) June 13, 2021 Since the fight, Deji has referred to himself as a “failure” on social media, with fellow competitors and other influencers, including older brother KSI, flocking to the tweet to send kind words to the YouTuber. No you’re not deji. You got in that ring. That’s more than what many could ever do. Ultimately you’re an entertaining YouTuber, boxing or not. So don’t worry about this for real. ❤️ bro — ksi (@KSI) June 13, 2021 On June 13, he uploaded a short video to his YouTube channel in which he addressed the fight from the previous night. “I don’t want to talk too much because actions speak louder than words, and I know what I need to do,” he told viewers. “I’m gonna be taking a break from social media, and I’m just gonna be working on myself because that’s what I need to do.” Expanding on the reason for the break, he explained that: “I need to work on my cardio, I need to work on just myself as a whole, because I do wanna box again.” He also went on to reassure those who are concerned about him. “Don’t worry about me,” he said, “I am all good, as you can see I’m all cheerful, I’m happy, this isn’t a facade. I’m living life, alright. I needed this. This is something that’s just gonna ultimately help me in the future.” “I will be off social media for a while, and I just wanna say thank you for all those who supported me, all your nice words. All the people at the event, all the people on the internet, you guys are lovely, honestly.” It’s not clear how long Deji will be gone from social media, but with his plans to improve on his boxing skills even further, fans will no doubt be excited to see him step into the ring again at some point.

Deji and Swarmz “close” to finalizing fight deal with Misfits – Dexerto
Deji and Swarmz “close” to finalizing fight deal with Misfits DAZNYouTube star Deji and rapper Swarmz are reportedly close to finalizing a fight deal with Misfits Boxing. Over the past year, Deji has completely transformed himself as a boxer. After starting out with multiple losses, he finally managed to bag his first win against Fousey last August. Since, the YouTube star has even gone the length with the world’s best, going a full six rounds with boxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in an exhibition fight. After proving he can dance with some of the best in the business, fans are certainly excited to see his return to the ring — and now he’s finally eyeing up his next bout. Deji and Swarmz close to finalizing fight After dropping Ryan Taylor with ease in his with just one punch in his last fight, Swarmz has made it clear he wants to meet Deji in the ring. According to Happy Punch Promotions, it may finally be happening as Deji and Swarmz are reportedly close to finalizing a deal with Misfits Boxing. The two are reportedly expected to fight on the Misfits Series 007 event, which will take place in London on May 13. Furthermore, Deji’s older brother and Misfits Boxing founder KSI also recently revealed that the fight might be close to being confirmed. “I think Deji vs Swarmz might be almost confirmed,” he said in a recent SideCast episode. KSI is also anticipated to feature as the main event on the Series 007 card in London, where he’s expected to go to blows with professional boxer Joe Fournier. Although Series 007 is still quite far away, it’s likely we’ll see some official announcements in the coming weeks on the build-up to Misfits’ next event in New Orleans.

Deji addresses rumors of backstabbing KSI for views – Dexerto
Deji addresses rumors of backstabbing KSI for views Deji, KSI – YouTubeYouTuber Deji Olatunji has been accused of milking his ongoing feud with older brother ‘KSI’ for views and subscribers – and he’s finally spoken out about the allegations. YouTube brothers Deji and ‘KSI’ Olatunji have been involved in a bitter feud, after Deji leaked KSI’s bank records in a diss track towards Sidemen member Randolph. Since then, rumors have abounded that Deji is taking advantage of his fight with KSI to save his “dying channel” – but he claims such rumors are not the case, whatsoever. Deji uploaded a video on December 8 further explaining his side of the story, following his guest appearance on YouTuber Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast on December 6. In his newest video, Deji claimed that his brother was “manipulative,” and defended himself against any rumors of “backstabbing” KSI for views. “A lot of people are attacking me, saying I’m an asshole for what I’ve done,” Deji began. “But you don’t understand all the shit that my brother has put me through along the years. …I didn’t backstab my brother. …he’s the one who’s backstabbed me.” He went on to claim that KSI’s (now-deleted) apology video and Tweets were “not genuine,” and even recalled an emotional moment where his mother felt that KSI was “destroying” her youngest son. Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem broke down the brothers’ feud in an episode on December 7, during which he speculated that Deji was using his fight with KSI to keep his channel afloat. While both brothers have claimed that their beef is 100% genuine, it looks like Deji isn’t backing down anytime soon – even going so far to say that it will be difficult for him to let KSI back into his life.

Deji accuses Bryce Hall of steroid use and responds to boxing challenge – Dexerto
Deji accuses Bryce Hall of steroid use and responds to boxing challenge YouTube: Deji/Instagram: brycehallAfter months of rumors surrounding his comeback, UK YouTuber Deji has spoken out about his possible boxing future, reeling off a number of names as well as accusing TikTok star Bryce Hall of using steroids. Deji has been out of action since his loss to TikToker Vinnie Hacker at the YouTuber vs TikToker boxing event, which also saw the likes of FaZe Jarvis vs Michael Le and Bryce Hall himself taking on Austin McBroom in the main event. Both Bryce and Deji lost their respective fights and came out looking worse for wear — and Deji has invited the idea of the two of them facing off against one another for redemption. When discussing his eventual comeback, Deji had some choice comments about Bryce, who has also not scheduled in his next fight since the loss to McBroom. In his YouTube video posted on January 3, 2022, titled ‘Who am I fighting next,’ Deji addressed the rumors surrounding his status and spoke a bit about his comeback. After showing footage of his months of training to round out 2021, Deji spoke out about the rumors that have followed him regarding his next fight. “They’re saying that I’m fighting Bryce Hall, I saw that I’m fighting some people from FaZe … I’m hearing all these names,” he explained. “They’re all rumors … If you want me to fight on that [Showstar Boxing UK V USA] card, you guys know what to do … If I have to fight Bryce, I don’t mind fighting that steroid little b**ch, you know what I mean?” Timestamp 6:24 Stating that he’s “out for redemption,” Deji is clearly angling towards getting another big fight and, this time, hoping it goes a little better than his previous bouts. So far, Deji has accrued a 0-2 record on his boxing resumé, with losses to both Hacker and a YouTuber that is quickly becoming one of the biggest names in combat sports, Jake Paul. If Bryce catches word of these comments from Deji, we don’t expect him to take it laying down and could end up hearing about a possible fight sooner rather than later.

Defendants in Andrew Tate lawsuit will not be named due to threats of violence – Dexerto
Defendants in Andrew Tate lawsuit will not be named due to threats of violence Rumble/TateSpeechA Florida court has ruled that a group of people being sued by Andrew Tate for defamation won’t be named due to violent threats made against them. As Andrew Tate and his brother Tristian fight multiple charges of rape and human trafficking, the two have gone on the offensive, suing for defamation. The brothers allege they were falsely accused by a group plotting against them, as a result costing them millions of dollars as well as their freedom. While the two are seeking $300M in damages, their accusers won’t be named in court after threats were made against them, despite the Tates’ lawyer objecting. Andrew Tate accusers won’t be named in court after threats On X, lawyer Rob Freund reported that the defendants in the case had requested the court not use their real names citing threats on their lives.

Def Noodles announces another Super Roast Battle after MoistCr1TiKaL slams “horrible” event – Dexerto
Def Noodles announces another Super Roast Battle after MoistCr1TiKaL slams “horrible” event YouTube: Def Noodles, penguinz0YouTube commentator Def Noodles has announced yet another Super Roast Battle after fellow creator MoistCr1TiKaL slammed the first event for being a “complete f**king disaster.” Def Noodles orchestrated his first-ever Super Roast Battle on August 19, where he invited his critics and fellow comedians to come roast each other after being heavily criticized online over the past few months. Def advertised the event on his Twitter account, promising fans an exciting event… but viewers were left stunned for all the wrong reasons after watching the livestream for themselves. Many critics considered the Super Roast Battle “physically painful” to watch, with the term “cringe” being used a multitude of times to describe the “awkward” insults being thrown around between Def and other participants in the stream’s comments section. Popular internet personality MoistCr1TiKaL notably chimed in on the situation, calling the event “horrible” and a “complete f**king disaster” in an August 21 YouTube video. “Imagine Fyre Festival, but if it actually happened and was worse than anyone could have imagined,” he described the stream. “This is unreal.” “Nobody knew each other, literally nobody. So all they can do is roast each other’s appearance, because they don’t know them. They’re random people he got together and told them to roast each other.” Def responded to Moist’s comments in an August 22 YouTube video, where he sarcastically issued an apology to the YouTuber and announced another Super Roast Battle event. “Mr. Critikal, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for causing you to cringe while watching my roast battle,” Def said. “I truly wish that you had not been forced to witness such a level of banality for your personal amusement in your entire life.” “I’m thoroughly disappointed that I dared put something together for my fans, and that the ones who attended thoroughly enjoyed the experience, or so they told me,” he added. Def went on to claim that “the only way for me to make this situation right again” was to host yet another Super Roast Battle, which he announced for September 2 at 8 PM PT at the same venue, with tickets being posted for sale on Tuesday, August 23. MoistCr1TiKaL responds to Def Noodles “apology” video Moist issued a response to Def’s video later in the same day, where he expressed confusion at Def’s claims of having “allegations” against him when Critikal felt he had only “made jokes about the event and talked about it.” “He doesn’t owe anyone an apology, least of all me,” Moist clarified. “I f**king loved it. I thought it was delightful. But at the end of the day, it’s not a big deal. He put on an event and it didn’t go over super well with the majority of people, and that’s fine.” Moist went on to state that Def Noodles had lost around 3,000 subscribers over the course of six hours after posting his “apology” video, claiming that the commentator’s fanbase “didn’t sign up to hear him throw these self-pity parties.” Def Noodles hits back at MoistCr1TiKaL’s comments again Def Noodles went on to make another video addressing the issue where he “retracted” his “apology” toward Moist, claiming it was an “ironic apology.” “People take it seriously,” Def said. “The whole point is for me to show the other side of the coin or something other than what the commentary currently is.” “This is all because we had the audacity to put on a show to entertain people on a Friday night and broadcast it for free for the world to see,” he continued. “And then I had the audacity to turn his reaction of him cringing into a joke apology. There’s too much seriousness being injected into this.” For now, it seems as though Moist is done discussing the issue, leaving his back-and-forth with Noodles apparently finished.

Death threats over Christchurch shooting lead to PewDiePie making a major change on Twitter PewDiePie, YouTube / Innov8itv.comPopular YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has unfollowed nearly everyone on Twitter, following a slew of death threats in wake of the tragic shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand. Journalist Nick Monroe reported that individuals followed by PewDiePie on the social media platform were being targeted in relation to death threats, prompting the YouTuber to purge his following count to protect those involved. “People were targeting ANYONE that PewDiePie was following on Twitter,” Monroe wrote of the issue. “For the sake of safety, PewDiePie has unfollowed pretty much EVERYONE on Twitter.” People were targeting ANYONE that @pewdiepie was following on Twitter. Me included. For the sake of safety, @pewdiepie has unfollowed pretty much EVERYONE on Twitter. Great job, angry mob. You won. pic.twitter.com/nrSCYRvGmk — Nick Monroe (@nickmon1112) March 18, 2019 Attached to Monroe’s post were a series of screenshots, which detailed a conversation between four Twitter accounts that appeared to end in a death threat against PewDiePie. “Smash an egg over this guy’s head,” one Tweet read, attached to a screenshot of several accounts that Kjellberg had followed.

No egg fan should be without my patented egg launchers, sold separately!” PewDiePie has since unfollowed all but one account – the official Twitter of popular K-Pop group BTS. While PewDiePie has yet to make a statement regarding his Twitter purge, the YouTuber condemned the actions of the Christchurch shooter on March 14, claiming that he was “sickened” to have his name uttered by the terrorist. Just heard news of the devastating reports from New Zealand Christchurch. I feel absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person. My heart and thoughts go out to the victims, families and everyone affected by this tragedy.— ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) March 15, 2019 The catastrophic attack in Christchurch resulted in the deaths of fifty individuals, who were engaging in worship at two separate Mosques at the time of the shootings.

Deaf TikToker Scarlet May responds to PewDiePie’s “weird” criticism of her for using sign language – Dexerto
Deaf TikToker Scarlet May responds to PewDiePie’s “weird” criticism of her for using sign language YouTube: PewDiePie / TikTok: scarlet_may.1Scarlet May, a deaf TikToker, has responded after PewDiePie — YouTube’s most-subscribed creator — mocked her in a reaction video earlier this week. Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is coming under fire after he mocked a deaf TikToker who used American Sign Language with long acrylic nails. The YouTuber copied her hand signals and even recreated her movements with his pet pug, Maya, in a reaction video uploaded on July 26, 2022. Although PewDiePie has since deleted that segment from his original video, clips of the moment went viral online, with many critics rallying against him for mocking a deaf person. PewDiePie responds to outrage after mocking deaf TikToker Kjellberg has since offered a response to the outrage in a pinned comment underneath his initial video, where he called the situation “an honest mistake” and explained why he removed the segment featuring Scarlet May. “I edited out the clip with the girl that has the long nails,” he wrote. “Had no clue she was deaf, but kinda dumb of me to not realize… Still watching through the clip I only poked fun of her long nails. The voice I did for my dog is the same voice I’ve given her for years.” “Making my dog’s paws move was poking at people always dancing or doing some move on TikTok, which is an ongoing theme in the whole video,” he added. “Anyway honest mistake, my bad.” Scarlet May also responded to the situation in a TikTok. She is a fairly popular creator on the platform, boasting over 6 million followers on the viral video app. She claims that she’s trying to normalize using ASL with her long nails, and says that PewDiePie’s comments toward her were “weird.” “Apparently there’s this big YouTuber, PewDie-whatever, I don’t know his name. But he made a reaction video to one of my TikToks making fun of my nails, making fun of my signs with his dog, and I guess at one point mocking my voice,” she began. “How do I feel? I feel like it was very weird and very unnecessary, but at the same time I wasn’t surprised. I’m used to it.” “I’ve been trying to normalize and put it out that using nails while signing is normal, like, it’s okay. But then a big creator comes on here and puts us a million steps back, so it’s very frustrating.” Click here if TikTok fails to load. May went on to suggest that PewDiePie was fully aware that she had been using sign language in her TikTok despite initially giving him the benefit of the doubt, noting that he’d removed the section from his video after receiving backlash and argued that this action “made the situation worse.” “But I mean, we all live and learn,” she finished her statement. “If he didn’t know before, he definitely knows now!”

Deaf TikToker Scarlet May denies trying to “cancel” PewDiePie amid drama – Dexerto
Deaf TikToker Scarlet May denies trying to “cancel” PewDiePie amid drama YouTube: PewDiePie / TikTok: scarlet_may.1Deaf TikToker Scarlet May is hitting back at PewDiePie’s apology after he mocked her in a ‘cringe compilation’ video — and also slamming accusations of using the drama to “get followers.” Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg continues to be at the center of controversy after mocking a deaf woman in a TikTok ‘cringe compilation’ video on July 26. In his video, he seemed to make fun of the woman’s hand movements and used his pet pug, Maya, to recreate her sign language. The internet quickly lashed out at Kjellberg, who apologized for the incident and called it an “honest mistake,” claiming that he “had no clue she was deaf.” However, Scarlet May — the deaf woman he poked fun at and a disability advocate with over 6 million TikTok followers — isn’t exactly impressed with his apology. She responded to his statement in a follow-up video on July 28, where she said she didn’t buy his explanation of events. “If he was just talking about the nails and the sound of it, he should have just done this with his hands or his dog’s hands,” she argued, rubbing her nails together. “But he was moving his dog’s hands and arms all over the place. That was sign language. “Also, for everyone defending him saying, ‘No, he was just talking about the nails’ when moving his dog’s arms around, he literally said in his apology comment that he thought I was ‘dancing.’” Click here if TikTok fails to load. Scarlet May went on to hit back at claims of using the current situation to cancel PewDiePie, reiterating that she’d initially given him the benefit of the doubt “Nobody said that. I never once said that. If anything, I said everyone makes mistakes. It’s okay to just own up to them.” May says this is the last time she’ll be addressing the situation, which has sparked responses all over the net as the matter continues to prompt conversation regarding accessibility and normalizing sign language.

Deaf Fortnite Twitch streamer impersonated on Twitter amid growing popularity – Dexerto
Deaf Fortnite Twitch streamer impersonated on Twitter amid growing popularity EwokTTV / TwitchUPDATE 7:30pm PDT After a wild few hours, it appears as though Ewok was not hacked at all, but that someone actually created the Twitter account that’s at the center of the drama. Her real Twitter account has been discovered and her family didn’t even know that any of this had taken place. Someone made the fake Ewok twitter to capitalize off the good will from the community, with fake gratitude including to myself. I didn’t verify because who would do such a thing, but we’re on the internet so of course someone would do this. I got played. My bad. FOLLOW @EwokIts. — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) March 16, 2019 The original timeline of events can be found below: Twitch streamer EwokTTV has been embroiled in a growing controversy as it seems her Twitter account has been hacked following her stellar rise in popularity. EwokTTV recently exploded onto the Twitch spotlight after getting numerous hosts/raids from popular streamers TimtheTatman, Mizkif, and more, but now a growing controversy is swirling around the 13-year-old broadcaster. In a March 15 post, someone claiming to be EwokTTV’s father shared a private conversation between Ewokk and YouTube clan ‘Eh Bee Family’ that included a derogatory comment toward the young deaf streamer. The Eh Bee Family immediately denied sending the message, providing proof that the image had been altered. They posted screenshots of their own DMs to show that the incriminating message had indeed been completely fabricated. Hi @KEEMSTAR we did reach out to Ewok, however, as you can see from my screenshot, this is where our conversation ended. I’m sorry to say but the last portion is photoshopped. We would never speak to anyone like that. pic.twitter.com/PXNbb0ZTbp — Eh Bee Family (@EhBeeFamily) March 15, 2019 With the real DMs in hand, many users on Twitter began piece things together and point out areas that show that it had indeed been a poor Photoshop and not actual messages. Not only was there an exclamation point missing from the final message sent by the Eh Bee Family, it was noted that while the original message said “If you ever decide you want to pursue” as opposed to “If you ever decided and want to pursue.” Hey @KEEMSTAR I Dont Know if this helps but pretty sure this proves it’s faked! @EhBeeFamily pic.twitter.com/z8BsxLg5bE — Ryan (@imEntroo) March 15, 2019 The situation became even more muddier when EwokTTV’s account started posting heinous messages and attributing a random third party as the alleged hacker. It was at this point that it became clear that the entire thing looked to have been the result of someone else gaining access to her account. Soon after the hacker posted the above tweets to Ewok’s account, they were quick to make light of the situation with a tweet that left little doubt as to their involvement. While some users on Twitter were calling foul and alleging that Ewok has actually fabricated the entire ordeal, popular esports consultant Slasher chimed in to make sense of the ordeal and quickly shut down this line of thought. I am sincerely sorry about what just happened. I received this message out of nowhere I want to thank the person who somehow got the message sent to me:heart:️ and I want to apologize personally to @EhBeeFamily for the hate they got and @KEEMSTAR for wasting his time on this:pray::relieved: pic.twitter.com/aNtvHk4eHU — EwokTTV (@TwitchEwok) March 16, 2019 It looks like EwokTTV will try to look past this incident, as she’s shown incredible potential to be a longtime streamer and Fortnite pro player in the months to come.

Deaf Fortnite streamer Ewok becomes first female ever to join FaZe Clan – Dexerto
Deaf Fortnite streamer Ewok becomes first female ever to join FaZe Clan Ewok – TwitterDeaf competitive Fortnite streamer and content creator Ewok has joined FaZe Clan, becoming the first female to officially be a part of the organization in its long history, according to co-founder Ricky ‘Banks’ Banks. On July 27, a few hours following the conclusion of the Duos tournament at the $30 million Fortnite World Cup finals, Banks posted a tweet announcing the recruitment of Ewok. “Welcome to FaZe, you’re incredible, you inspire me,” he tweeted. “First girl ever in FaZe. I’m glad we held out this long. You’re perfect.” Ewok herself announced the move in a video she posted shortly afterwards, and while she used sign language to communicate the news, it was the glowing excitement on her face that surely grabbed everyone’s attention. Although she wasn’t competing at either the Solos or Duos competitions, the partnered streamer had been invited to the festivities in New York City to participate in the Celebrity Pro-Am, where she and singer Jordan Fisher placed 25th and raised $20,000 for the charity of their choice. “Usually we surprise our new members, but tonight we got surprised with the best news,” FaZe Clan tweeted. “Join us in welcoming the first girl EVER to join FaZe Clan: Ewok” Usually we surprise our new members, but tonight we got surprised with the best news. Join us in welcoming the first girl EVER to join FaZe Clan: @EwokIts #FaZeUp pic.twitter.com/Q1Rr1UZ5c8 — FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) July 28, 2019 Ewok is the latest addition to FaZe’s already star-studded roster of Fortnite players and content creators, which features the likes of NICKMERCS, Mongraal, Nate Hill, and many others. The FaZe organization boasts an insane number of Fortnite pro players and content creators, many of which are among the most popular on Twitch. Ewok is already a popular streamer in her own right, with just under 200,000 followers on Twitch as of her joining FaZe Clan, but now part of the famed organization this number will undoubtedly grow. Her popularity was given a boost when she got the chance to play alongside some of heroes in Ninja and DrLupo. Her skill is undeniable, despite her disadvantage of sound, her accuracy and game knowledge rivals even the very best. Becoming the first female to join the organization will be a point of pride for not only Ewok, but FaZe Clan too, who admittedly have been somewhat behind the times in that regard, with many other esports organizations having had female members for a long time.

Deaf Fortnite & Apex Legends streamer Ewok joins XSET – Dexerto
Deaf Fortnite & Apex Legends streamer Ewok joins XSET Nick WilkinsonFortnite and Apex Legends streamer Soleil ‘Ewok’ Wheeler, formerly of FaZe Clan, has officially joined XSET. Ewokmade history in 2019 when they joined FaZe Clan at the age of just 13, and a year later came out as trans, identifying as male and bisexual, writing at the time that “I want to be open about it and educate people but feel comfortable with myself…This is truly a big decision and I know it’ll impact some people.” Now, two years later, Ewok continues to create content after parting ways with FaZe Clan, mixing vlogging and fitness in with his regular gaming schedule — and he’s doing it for XSET. “Having gotten to know Ewok when I was at FaZe and watching his incredible journey to superstar streamer, positive example to the trans community and his continued representation of the deaf community, it is amazing to welcome him to his new XSET family,” said Co-Founder and CEO of XSET, Greg Selkoe. “Ewok is an incredible talent and we can’t wait to do some killer stuff together at XSET.” When they first formed, XSET sought to “build out a team that exemplifies a community that welcomes all.” To them, Ewok joining is “a testament of how the organization has a clear focus on cultivating an inclusive organization.” XSET has a growing presence in the esports and content space, fielding teams in Valorant, Fortnite, Rocket League, and more. They also boast a star-studded list of investors and partners including the likes of hip-hop artist Swae Lee, NFL star Ezekiel Elliot, and rapper Tee Grizzley.

Deadmau5 to boycott Twitch following ban for homophobic slur – Dexerto
Deadmau5 to boycott Twitch following ban for homophobic slur Deadmau5 / TwitchJoel Thomas Zimmerman, also known as deadmau5, has been banned on Twitch for ‘hate speech’ following the use of a homophobic slur against a stream sniper during a PUBG match. The DJ later responded to the situation, accusing the streaming platform of double standards and censorship. According to various reports, deadmau5 was streaming a game of PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) when he encountered a stream sniper and quickly became agitated with the situation. In a Twitch clip that has since been deleted, the Canadian reportedly said: “Is that some fucking cock-sucking stream sniper f*g?” Deadmau5 is best known for his work as a DJ. The outburst resulted in the internationally recognized DJ being banned from Twitch. Presumably this ban on the Amazon-owned streaming platform is a temporary one, though, as deadmau5 later suggested that he would be cutting ties on a permanent basis of his own accord. Stream snipers are players that watch a streamer and attempt to get into a game with them. Once in the match, they will often try to interact or antagonize the streamer in-game in order to see their reaction on the stream. In a Reddit post about the incident, Zimmerman stated: “While it was intended to insult a fuckin asshat who was being a fucking asshat, it wasn’t ‘directed at an entire group of people who have a sexual orientation that differs from my own’. Fuck off with that shit. “I know who I am, and I don’t have to fucking sit here and cry and defend my fucking self with the obligatory ‘I’M NOT THAT PERSON, I AM SORRY’ reflex.” Deadmau5 was playing PUBG at the time of the outburst. With regards to his partnership with Twitch, he said: “I’m not going to stand for Twitch’s double standard when it comes to censoring and suspending me for harmless shit. “While we’ve had some fun partnerships here and there, and they were a great company to work with… I’m gunna have to cut this one short. I don’t have the capacity to deal with that kind of shit.” The Reddit account that Zimmerman used to post his response to the ban and his use of the homophobic slur appears to have been deleted, but the statement can be viewed in its entirety in the screenshot below, captured by Rod ‘Slasher’ Breslau: Deadmau5 accused Twitch of having double standards. Breslau, a veteran of the esports and gaming industry, stated: “Should deadmau5 be calling people f*gs in games? No. Should deadmau5 be banned from Twitch given the context and intent? I’d say also no. Twitch, not Twitter or YouTube, is quickly becoming the battleground platform for what can or cannot be said.” Whether you side with Twitch, deadmau5, or land somewhere in between, it seems unlikely that you’ll be seeing the DJ’s face on Twitch again any time soon.

Deadmau5 reveals how he deals with frequent panic attacks on stage – Dexerto
Deadmau5 reveals how he deals with frequent panic attacks on stage Wikimedia CommonsCanadian DJ and music producer Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known by his stage name Deadmau5, shared how he deals with frequent panic attacks while live streaming on Twitch. During a June 17 Twitch broadcast, the musician was asked if he ever had panic attacks on stage, and revealed that he experiences them quite often. In fact, he believes that he undergoes one every five shows or so – which is definitely a high amount, considering how stressful they are. Luckily, he’s developed a trick to help deal with the attacks, and it’s been working for him very well. If you’re not familiar with what a panic attack is, Deadmau5 explained it all quite well. “The best way I can describe it, it feels like a sense of impending doom,” he said, amusingly as he cut up foes in Diablo. “It’s not specific. It’s not like I have a fear that I’m going to have a heart attack or something like that,” he added. “It’s anything. You don’t know what it is. If I had a fear of something directly that I can put a tangibility to, I would address it.” As for what helps him overcome the panic, Zimmerman has a method that, while he claims is “dumb” and works for him, it probably wouldn’t work for anyone else. “I have a really vivid memory of sitting on a jet ski. I went out to Lake Ontario and just went a quarter mile out from the land, and I was kinda by myself… what I did was I shut off my jet ski and I was f**king sitting there and it was so quiet,” he thought back. Basically, the memory of sitting on the jet ski smoking a cigarette in peace is vivid for the artist, but just thinking back to that feeling of harmony can help him overcome panic attacks. “When I’m having a weird sense of impending doom on stage, I literally put my mind in that exact same spot and I think about the situation,” he said. “I recall the colors of the jet ski, the number of clouds in the sky, the overall feeling of just total relaxation.” It’s definitely clear why Deadmau5’s technique for dealing with panic attacks wouldn’t work for everyone, but the fact he can transform a bad situation into one of comfort on stage is quite an impressive feat.

Deadmau5 mocks social media influencers with Raid Shadow Legends troll – Dexerto
Deadmau5 mocks social media influencers with Raid Shadow Legends troll Leah SemsElectronic music virtuoso Joel Zimmerman, better known as Deadmau5, has dropped a short Instagram video mocking social media influencers, and he’s even sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends! Well, not really. As the world’s electronic music scene continues to expand, there’s one name that never quite goes out of fashion: Deadmau5. The Canadian artist has become somewhat of an icon. Sporting an oversized mouse head with a slightly ominous-looking grin, he’s done everything from snag a wealth of Grammys to appear in Psyonix’s soccer title, Rocket League. This time, though, he’s not sporting that huge prosthetic animal head. Instead, he’s decided to become the social media influencer on the block. And he’s killing it. Deadmau5 mocks social media influencers Writing that he “caught a couple influencers in the wild,” the musician uploaded a video on May 28 that sees him seamlessly transform into the role of a social media icon. Following the camerawoman’s direction, he first lifts one leg to show off his very impressive assets. From here, he drops the leg and looks to the sky, but maybe a little too high for his director’s liking. From here, he strikes a somewhat T-Rex-inspired pose, looking straight into the camera to assert dominance, before gazing off into the distance and considering which tiny herbivore will become his next meal. View this post on Instagram Deadmau5 X Raid Shadow Legends? Deadmau5 has announced an astonishing new partnership in the hashtag-filled caption for this video to make matters even more believable. Jokingly stating that the short clip was “brought to you by Raid Shadow Legends,” the Canadian is poking fun at the fact that the mobile title seems to partner with pretty much every single social media influencer. Will he be their next choice for a sponsor? We’ll have to wait and see. Until then, though, we hope to see more of social media star Deadmau5 working it for the camera.

DDG reveals his stunning new $300,000 Mercedes-Maybach S-class – Dexerto
DDG reveals his stunning new $300,000 Mercedes-Maybach S-class American rapper and YouTuber, Darryl Dwayne Granberry (DDG) shows off his new 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-class, which apparently set him back $300,000. After his recent participation in the ‘Battle of the Platforms’ boxing event between YouTubers and TikTokers, the YouTuber boxing musician ‘DDG ‘has treated himself to a brand new 2021 Mercedes-Maybach. The reveal of the new luxury car comes two months after the creator said he’d be retiring from YouTube, deleting all his previous videos. But in fact, DDG has not quit YouTube, as he’s uploaded two videos since his ‘retirement’. One of which revealing his very expensive new car. DDG’s new Mercedes-Maybach S-class In a video posted on August 4, DDG vlogs himself going through the process of buying his new luxury car. The car he bought is the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-class. In the video DDG posted, the creator says got the idea to purchase the Maybach from fellow rapper Tyler Yaweh, saying “Shout out to Tyler Yaweh, when I saw his Maybach it made me kind of want to get one.” The Maybach S-class is designed for the wealthiest, specifically those who have their own drivers. Taking a closer look at the luxury car, it looks as if it was taken straight out of a futuristic movie. Kitted with “innovative technology and high-resolution screens in the back seats,” the car is designed with comfort in mind. DDG’s new car will fit nicely alongside his customized 2018 Rolls-Royce, 2019 Lamborghini Urus, and 2019 BMW i8. Mercedes seems to be a popular choice among YouTubers. FaZe Clan content creator ‘Swagg’ bought his dream Mercedes AMG GTS, showcasing it in a video posted in March. YouTuber and model Sommer Ray also revealed her Mercedes-Benz in February.

DDG confirms he is quitting YouTube after Battle of the Platforms victory – Dexerto
DDG confirms he is quitting YouTube after Battle of the Platforms victory Instagram: DDGDarryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., better known as DDG, confirmed he is quitting YouTube “for good” after beating TikToker Nate Wyatt in the YouTube Vs. TikTok Battle of the Platforms event. DDG had humble beginnings as YouTuber in 2015 when he was still enrolled at Central Michigan University. But after dropping out to keep the momentum going, he’s seen his rapping career blossom to the point where it’s all he wants to focus on. He’s flirted with the idea of quitting YouTube before. The first instance happened back in August 2020 when he posted his “last” YouTube video. But despite that, he’s released nine videos since then, including some uploaded in April 2021. However, after beating Tiktoker Nate Wyatt by unanimous decision in a long and drawn-out fight at the YouTube Vs. TikTok Battle of the Platforms event, he confirmed he would finally be quitting the platform “for good.” “I’m quitting YouTube for good. This is my last little finale, this fight,” he said. But that’s not all. He confirmed that he would be quitting the fight game, too — although there’s one condition that could bring him back. “One and done. The only way I step in the ring again is if it’s against a rapper.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1403882998601183237?s=20 What better way to go out than to represent YouTube and defeat an opponent from a rival platform like TikTok? If DDG does actually end up quitting YouTube, his content will be sorely missed by the community. However, his songs and music videos will still be available on a separate channel, so he’ll still be on there in a sense.

DC just revealed The Joker’s real name – Dexerto
DC just revealed The Joker’s real name DC ComicsIn the recently released Flashpoint Beyond #5, DC has revealed the real name of iconic Batman foe, The Joker. The original Flashpoint arc sees Barry Allen’s Flash race back in time to save his mother’s life. This time-warping event creates a universe wherein Bruce Wayne died in Crime Alley, resulting in his father, Thomas, taking the Batman mantle. Bruce’s mother, Martha, adopts an even darker form, becoming the Flashpoint version of the Clown Prince of Crime. Given the event’s popularity and its significance to DC continuity, Geoff Johns’ recent return to the Flashpoint universe in a miniseries is turning quite a few heads. And one reveal, in particular, has added another wrinkle to one of the greatest mysteries in comics. Warning: Potential spoilers below. Has DC finally settled on a real name for The Joker? Issue #4 of the miniseries revealed the identity of the Clockwork Killer as none other than Martha Wayne, the Flashpoint timeline’s Joker. Flashpoint Beyond #5 delves deeper into what drives her into the land of madness. Confronted by Thomas’ Batman in Arkham Asylum, Martha confirms she killed the Psycho Pirate, an emotion-controlling villain who counts among the few people to remember the pre-Crisis DC Universe. She committed this act after learning her son is the Dark Knight in the main DC continuity. Psycho Pirate also disclosed the Joker as a failed comedian who supports his wife and child by working as a janitor at Wayne Casino. “His name is Jack Oswald White,” Martha explained before revealing her intention of going back in time to guarantee Bruce becomes Batman. Since she’s talking about an alternate iteration of the Clown Prince, Joker’s real name in the mainline continuity may not be the same as White Stripes’ lead vocalist. In the last few decades, DC has given Joker numerous identities. Batman 1989 dubs him Jack Napier, for example. Joaquin Phoenix’s version of the character bears the name Arthur Fleck. It’ll be interesting to see how the Jack White identity is put to use going forward.

DAZN saves Kingpyn boxing in surprise acquisition after bankruptcy – Dexerto
DAZN saves Kingpyn boxing in surprise acquisition after bankruptcy Twitter: Kingpyn Boxing, DAZNDAZN seems to have saved Kingpyn’s bacon after the influencer-boxing promotion reportedly filed for bankruptcy ahead of its final tournament coming up in August. The influencer-boxing space is bigger than ever before, with creators from multiple social media platforms across the net hoping to settle their beefs in the ring. First kicked off by KSI and Logan Paul in 2018, the influencer-boxing bug is still going strong years later… but one hopeful event in the space almost got shot down permanently due to financial strains. On July 5, sources close to Happy Punch claimed that Kingpyn had filed for bankruptcy right as the tournament was approaching its Finals on August 5. The tournament had already gone through its first iteration in April, when its semi-final event for July was canceled — leaving its fighters, who’d trained for months hoping to get a stint in the ring, with a slew of unanswered questions. Kingpyn tournament semi-finals rescheduled amid DAZN acquisition It looks like those questions have now been put to rest as, on July 7, DAZN posted a cryptic message to its Twitter account with the crown emoji, the pushpin emoji, and the looking eyes emoji. Fans took this to mean that the combat sports streaming platform had acquired Kingpyn boxing. This was later seemingly confirmed by Kingpyn themselves, who posted a fight poster for the semi-finals to their Twitter page with the DAZN logo emblazoned upon it. The promotion confirmed that Kingpyn will be streamed on DAZN, but on a different date than originally penned. Instead, it looks like the semi-finals will air exclusively on DAZN on July 15. The bout will take place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, followed by the Finals in August at the O2 Arena in London – although it’s unclear if this date will also change. “The semi-finals of the Kingpyn boxing tournament, headlined by @whindersson vs. @KingKennyTv will be live on DAZN, July 15,” the wrote on their post. Although names like KSI mocked Kingpyn over their purported bankruptcy claims, this marks yet another major influencer-boxing acquisition for DAZN, who previously compiled a five-year deal with KSI’s Misfits Boxing that’s still going strong months later.
