Tfue finally unboxes his custom $3500 keyboard on stream Twitch: Tfue/UnsplashTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney finally got his hands on the $3,500 custom Fortnite-themed keyboard that TaehaTypes curated for him and it already looks to be paying dividends in-game. Back on January 18, Twitch viewers who stumbled across TaehaTypes’ channel got a glimpse at a project he had been working on for Tfue. Priced at $3500 for parts, coloring, and other manufacturing costs, the Fortnite-themed keyboard came decked out with brand-new keys and a size to fit Tfue’s specifications. Of course, dropping a pretty penny on a brand-new keyboard shouldn’t really give you a competitive advantage over players – well, unless you’re using cheats that is. Yet, when Tfue finally got to show it off to fans who may have already seen it, well, he quickly did what he does best inside Fortnite. During his January 27 stream, the popular streamer and Fortnite professional teased fans with a reveal of the keyboard as he finally looked set to use it on stream. After a few teases, including showing off the bag it came in, he finally unboxed it – seemingly surprised by how good it looked. “Dude, this thing looks nuts,” he told his viewers. “Oh my god, look at it, it is so clean you can read chat through it – that’s how clean it is.” Though, Tenney even joked about having another use for the shiny part on the bottom part of the keyboard – saying he was going to use it while it was sparkly clean. After showing it off and giving fans an up-close look at the new purchase, Tenney finally got it plugged in and set-up – ready to dominate the world of Fortnite. As you may expect, it didn’t take him all that long to do so either. The Fortnite star jumped right into a build battle with another player and used all of his skills and tricks to out manoeuver them – earning himself the first kill with the new keyboard. Now, while he’ll be looking to ride the extravagant purchase all the way to the top of the Fortnite mountain, Tfue will still need some good luck and all of his talent to do so. Yet, wherever he ends up when it comes to tournaments and LAN events, he probably has the most expensive and, perhaps, keyboard out of all the pros.

Tfue finally reaches Minecraft’s End Realm, immediately loses everything Twitch: Tfue / MojangTurner ‘Minecraft’s End realm was an absolute disaster, immediately dying and losing all his gear just seconds after jumping through the portal. Minecraft is in a renaissance period, with streamers jumping back on the immensely popular sandbox title, and Tfue is one of many enjoying their new adventures in the game. That enjoyment sooned turned to astonishment for the Fortnite pro on Monday, September 2, when his first trip to the The End turned out to be a nightmare for the Twitch star, who died almost immediately after stepping through the portal. The End is one of the most difficult realms to reach in Minecraft, with players needing to gear up and use Ender Eyes to search for an underground Stronghold, which will have an End Portal located inside it, with the monstrous Ender Dragon waiting on the other side for those brave enough to take the plunge. After searching across the world for the Stronghold with fellow Fortnite player JosueTGTBT, the pair dove into the portal and into The End, tooled up and ready to face the beast waiting for them. Read More: Minecraft in VR is actually nightmare fuel – Things didn’t go so well for Tfue though, who immediately started to walk the moment he hopped through the portal, and walked straight off the floating platform to his death – losing all the items he had on him in the process. Tfue could only stare in complete shock, as he fell out of the world, before collapsing on his desk in frustration, while JosueTGTBT cried: “No fucking way you just died!” What makes the whole thing worse is that because he died by falling off the platform in The End, all his gear was lost to the ether, with no way he can ever get it back. It should teach the Twitch streamer to always look where you’re going in Minecraft, because you never know when you could find yourself dropping into lava, caves, or in this unfortunate situation, out of the world entirely!

Tfue finally responds to FaZe H1ghsky1’s Twitch ban The Hollywood Fix, YouTube / FaZe H1ghsky1, InstagramPopular Fortnite pro Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is in the middle of a heated legal battle with esports giant FaZe Clan – a battle that saw young pro Highsky1’s social media accounts disabled across the board. Tfue’s lawsuit against FaZe claimed that Highsky1 had only been eleven years old at the time of signing with the group, contrary to FaZe’s announcement that he was a 13-year-old Fortnite prodigy. H1ghsky1 himself later admitted this fact, explaining that he’d lied about his age in order to pursue his dreams, which resulted in him losing access to his Twitch, Twitter, and even Instagram accounts. FaZe h1ghsky1 stirred controversy across the net, after Tfue’s lawsuit against FaZe Clan alleged that the young Fortnite pro had only been 11 years old upon being signed to the esports org.600https://www.instagram.com/p/ByX-9hPpAb8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link While many accused Tfue of being responsible for the debacle, Tfue himself remained quiet on the subject, until YouTube celebrity news outlet The Hollywood Fix caught up to him for an interview. In their video on the topic, Tfue admits that he “feels bad” about H1ghsky1’s bans, and had even looked into speaking with Twitch about lowering their age requirements for streaming. “That whole situation I can’t really go too in depth about,” he began. “I do feel bad about the situation. I was looking into trying to maybe lower the age – the minimum age requirements for Twitch, maybe.” [Timestamp: 0:37 for mobile viewers] Tfue went on to clarify that he wanted Highsky1’s Twitch account to be reinstated, hoping to lower the minimum age to twelve – h1ghsky1’s current age. That wasn’t the only drama Tfue spoke out on, either; he likewise divulged some information regarding his strained relationship with FaZe co-owner Ricky Banks, who’d lashed out in anger after Tfue’s lawsuit went live. The relationship between FaZe Banks and Tfue is a strained one, after Banks called Tfue a “selfish asshole” for his lawsuit against the org.600https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJwW8cnwhS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “I’ve been taking some time off to clear my head, and figure out all this stuff from a business side of things,” he said of their friendship. “They [FaZe] sent me a bunch of contracts, but…” “You weren’t really feeling any of them, though,” the interviewer continued, prompting a “Yeah” from Tfue. Tfue’s statement follows the reinstatement of H1ghsky1’s Instagram account, which saw a video of the youngster uploaded to Twitter, showing him running about the Clout House in joy despite their ongoing legal troubles. H1ghSky1 is so happy he got his Instagram back!! pic.twitter.com/njV2r8zh1V — FaZe Kay (@FaZeKay) June 15, 2019 Tfue is one of Twitch’s most popular content creators, boasting over six million followers on the platform as of June 18.

Tfue finally addresses rumors of starting his own esports org Konkrete, YouTubeMassively popular Fortnite Battle Royale pro Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has taken legal action against esports organization FaZe, which CEO Lee Trink attributed to him wanting to start his own team – but Tfue had a hilarious response to Trink’s theory. Tfue addressed the rumor during an episode of the Konkrete podcast on May 29, where he claimed that he’d never mentioned wanting to start his own organization and wouldn’t have the time to, even if he did. “I never said that once,” Tfue said of the matter. “Hell no, I don’t have time to run a company. I’m too stupid, dude. I can’t even read a contract, what makes you think I can run an esports organization?” [Timestamp: 24:40 for mobile viewers] Tfue likewise spoke out on the drama surrounding his “oppressive” contract with FaZe, calling himself a “complete and total fucking dumbass” for signing the agreement while simultaneously arguing that he shouldn’t have been given “an illegal contract to begin with.” “Whether you’re in the music industry or in the gaming industry, you need your own lawyer,” Tfue advised. “You need somebody to watch your back. Even if you don’t have a lot of money, I think it’s worth it to burn a little bit for some legal advice.” Tfue is taking legal action against FaZe for an “oppressive” contract with the org.600https://www.instagram.com/p/BrfomlqnA90/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Tfue’s contract was found to have major splits in favor of FaZe, with the org getting 80% of brand deals brought in by themselves and 50% of appearance fees, in-game merchandise, and brand deals brought in by Tfue – prompting him to take legal action against the esports giant. Tfue’s contract with esports giant FaZe saw massive splits in favor of the organization – splits that prompted Tfue to take legal action against FaZe. The gaming pro’s subsequent lawsuit made waves across the internet, with even the likes of YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg speaking out on the matter, confused as to why FaZe won’t simply release Tfue from the contract in wake of the drama. “Tfue clearly wants nothing to do with FaZe Clan, so what kind of relationship are you preserving,” Kjellberg speculated. “The culture and the relationship of gaming in general if they drop him would be hurt, what the fuck are you talking about? That culture is ruined because you didn’t drop him.” [Timestamp: 2:02 for mobile viewers.] Tfue’s lawsuit has appeared to ruin his relationship with FaZe co-owner Ricky Banks, who had harsh words on the subject after hearing news of the lawsuit on the outset. Tenney has since announced plans to move in with Duos teammate Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore, who has also hinted at leaving FaZe.

Tfue finally overtakes shroud to become number 1 Twitch streamer Tfue, Instagram / shroud, TwitchStreaming star Tyler Fortnite pro Turner “Tfue” Tenney broke the current record for Twitch’s most-followed content creator, a title previously held by Michael “shroud” Grzesiek in wake of Ninja’s Mixer move earlier this month. At the time of writing, Tfue boasts over 6.9 million followers – a number close to Shroud’s own follower count, which currently sits at 6.8 million. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkHWOJHRHG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkDespite these impressive numbers from both streamers, Ninja still sits at a whopping 14.7 million followers on the site, although he no longer streams on the platform due to his exclusive broadcasting deal with Mixer. Thus, Ninja’s absence makes Tfue Twitch’s top streamer, nearly a month after the site’s top dog switched platforms – but this development didn’t come out of left field. 600Tfue was named as one of Twitch’s fast-growing streamers following Ninja’s final broadcast, listed at second place in terms of growth, while Fortnite World Cup champion Bugha ranked first, followed by Fortnite pro Symfuhny and shroud. TSM Myth, Dakotaz, TimTheTatMan, and TSM Daequan, who explained that he quit the game because “competitive is garbage.” Fortnite itself has taken a hit in viewership as of late, thanks to World of Warcraft Classic’s release, now sitting at third place in Twitch’s most-viewed rankings with CS:GO in second place. With Ninja’s absence from the platform acting as a major catalyst for a slew of changes, there’s no telling who will rise in the ranks next – but Tfue’s status as a top streamer doesn’t look likely to change anytime soon.

Tfue and FaZe Ewok have explosive first encounter with Minecraft enemy L: Tfue C: Minecraft R: EwokTurner ‘Minecraft stream is one for the record books as he and Soleil ‘Ewok’ Wheeler had an explosive encounter with a surprise enemy. More and more streamers discover daily that Minecraft has the potential to be a fun alternative to Fortnite. Tfue’s first stream of Minecraft was filled with twists and turns as he ran into numerous issues, but nothing was as crazy as a random enemy spawning in and blowing up him and Ewok in one quick motion. Tfue and Ewok were building a bridge across the lava so they could stay out of trouble, but little did they know the trouble would be finding them regardless. Once the two finished their bridge, a Creeper instantly spawned on it right next to them and detonated, killing both players in the process. Tfue’s mouth dropped wide open as he literally had no words for what just happened to him and his FaZe Clan companion. The Creeper spawned in without warning and didn’t even give the players any time to escape before it exploded and undid all of the hard work the two had made. The world of Minecraft is a dangerous one so let this be a lesson to anyone out there thinking otherwise. A lot of players who have spent time with Minecraft have had some dangerous run-ins with Creepers as they strike seemingly at random. Twitch streamer ItsSlikeR had a similar experience with one as two of them detonated inside of his house, causing him to quit and play a different game entirely. Minecraft can definitely be a nice change of pace from the frantic action that is Fortnite, but we see that it’s not always a walk in the park. Despite that, almost everyone who has jumped over to the game has been enjoying it. The complete openness of the game has proven to be hit for streamers and viewers alike.

Tfue explains why he doesn’t care about “falling off” on Twitch YouTube: Bradley MartynTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is one of the biggest names on Twitch, having become a superstar during his storied Fortnite career. Now, though, he’s claimed that he “wouldn’t care” if he and his stream fell off. Tfue grew to insane success in 2018, blowing up as one of the main names in Fortnite besides enemy-turned-friend Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins. Since then, he’s thrived in various other games including Warzone and Apex Legends, and become a huge success story in his own right. While his stream is still super successful, though, Tfue isn’t worried about the possibility of it all ending. Speaking with Bradley Martyn on the fitness influencer’s Raw Talk podcast, Tfue spoke about his gaming career, how he got started and the success he’s seen online since he was a teenager. After Bradley said that he gets worried about taking a break in case he “loses it all,” Tfue claimed that he doesn’t ever feel that way. “I don’t really care,” he said. “I’m at the point where, like, if I f**cking completely fall off I just … I wouldn’t even care.” Timestamp 38:04 He went on to explain why that’s the case, saying: “I’ve already done so much, put so much time into it, that I don’t really care.” He added that he’s made good investments in areas such as real estate, claiming that he could “never work again,” but that he still enjoys streaming which is why he keeps going. It’s not hard to imagine that Tfue has made more than enough money over the last few years given his Twitch superstardom, but this definitely puts into perspective just how successful he’s been.

Tfue explains why Ninja gets hate after reacting to KSI’s viral ‘Tfue vs Ninja’ video Red Bull / TfueTop Fortnite streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has reacted to KSI’s ‘Tfue vs Ninja’ video, and explained why he believes Ninja gets so much hate. YouTuber KSI made a video highlighting three occasions on which FaZe Clan’s Tfue faced off against Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, in Fortnite, with the FaZe pro coming out on top each time. The video was clearly edited to favor Tfue, with comical music and memes added to troll Ninja each time he was defeated by his fellow Fortnite streamer. From the outset of his reaction to the video, Tfue made clear that he has “nothing but good things to say about Ninja, he’s a good friend of mine”, and says he doesn’t understand why people “throw hate on him”. “He’s a legend,” Tfue states, “what he’s done for Fortnite and esports, and just gaming as a whole, honestly he’s done so much, so I have nothing but respect and good things to say about Ninja.” Later in the video, Tenney says KSI maybe went a little too hard on Ninja, explaining that people always hate whoever is on top: “Once you’re at the top, people like to just roast you, you know? Maybe one day, I’ll be on top, and I’ll be getting roasted just like everyone likes to do to Ninja for some reason.” Incredibly, Tfue’s reaction to KSI’s video already has more views in just 16 hours, than KSI’s original accrued in 3 days, with Tfue’s video almost breaching the 3 million mark already. It also quickly shot up to number one on YouTube’s trending page for Gaming, proving just how invested fans of both Tfue and Ninja are, in what is seen as the battle for the number one spot in Fortnite streaming. Tfue recently took a minor victory in overall subscriber counts, now claiming to have over 52,000 paying subscribers, to which Ninja responded by saying “everyone is just out to look for the next guy now.”

Tfue explains why Fortnite made a mistake bringing back Greasy Grove In a recent stream, pro Fortnite player Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has lashed out at Epic Games for reintroducing Greasy Grove. On Wednesday, September 11 Epic Games released the latest major patch for Fortnite and with it, saw the return of Greasy Grove to the Battle Royale map. While some fans were excited by the new changes, Fortnite star Tfue couldn’t have been madder at the most recent update. In a stream on the same date, the pro dropped into Greasy Grove and was wiped out early into the match, finishing 27th. This led to a heated reaction where he yelled “what the f*ck am I playing? I don’t want to land here.” Read more: Tfue reacts to Combat Shotgun vault – “Bro this place sucks, this place actually sucks,” he continued. Ranting about how not only Greasy Groves is a poor addition to the game, but Moisty Palms as well. “Dude honestly, Moisty Palms and Greasy Grove are f*cking trash.” While the brand new Fortnite update saw the addition of those two areas, it came at a cost as Epic Games recently removed fan-favorite Borderlands themed region, Pandora. “I think Pandora was better than Greasy,” Tfue elaborated. “I think Pandora was better than Moisty Palms. Pandora being gone kind of makes me sad, if I’m being quite honest.” Referring to constantly shifting locales in the game, he argues that “if you’re going to take out a good POI [Point Of Interest] like Pandora, at least put in a good POI to counteract it. They took out a good POI and added dogshit.” Most POI’s typically only remain in the game for a matter of weeks as Epic Games constantly rotates new content in and out. Perhaps with the backlash from the former FaZe Clan member, Greasy Groves will be removed sooner rather than later. Tfue’s rant begins at 2:11 for mobile users. The Fortnite-related frustrations for Tfue have been immense recently as the pro had a falling out with former duo Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore, claiming that he cost him $140,000 for turning down a sponsor deal. Will the anger continue or will Tfue come to enjoy the latest patch? In one big positive move, Fortnite v10.30 also saw the introduction of Item Shop Voting, a new system that allows the community to vote on which particular items they’d like to see in the store soon.

Tfue explains why he and Corinna Kopf have broken up again Instagram: Corrina KopfStar Twitch streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has revealed that he and ex-girlfriend Corinna Kopf have broken up for a second time, explaining that one of the reasons behind the split came through their living situation. Back in December of 2018, rumors swirled that Tfue and Corinna Kopf had gotten together as a couple after a Twitch streamer claimed to have seen them at a party together. After the internet did some digging, it seemed pretty clear that they were – with the pair going public with their relationship in March of 2019. However, after creating content together both on YouTube and Twitch, and even revealing some pretty intimate secrets about their relationship, the pair split for the first time in July before getting back together not long after. Yet, with the couple flying solo for the past few weeks, fans had been looking for an answer as to if they’d split up again. During his February 1 stream, Tfue confirmed the news – explaining why they’d decided to go their separate ways once again. “I mean, yeah, me and Corinna are broken up but we’re still friends,” Tfue told his stream viewers before explaining why that he had been the case. “I just don’t want to live in LA and she doesn’t want to live in Florida. “She tried to live with me but you know, you can’t just move somewhere and it be ok – you’re leaving all your friends, you don’t have any friends. I mean, I have friends in LA but it’s different.” The bad news confirmed what some fans of the couple may have been thinking already. Both Tfue and Corinna had been pretty cryptic about things on Twitter. On January 27, Kopf dropped a solo broken heart emoji – as she did the last time they broke up – before Tfue claimed it was feeling weird to be single on January 31. As already mentioned, the pair didn’t stay apart for all that long the time and some fans will be hoping that it’s a similar case this time around. Either way, though, plenty of fans will be able to rest easy in the knowledge that they are at least still good friends, even if they aren’t romantically involved.

Tfue explains why “broken” Hot Spots don’t belong at Fortnite World Cup Tfue, YouTube / Epic GamesFortnite Battle Royale, but is still hoping that they’re not going to show up in competitive events like the World Cup Finals. Hot Spots were added to the popular battle royale game with the v9.10 update, meaning that a number of locations across the map are now seeing more supply drops land there than players have come to expect. During his May 25 stream, Tfue was running around Pleasant Park, after noticing that it was colored in yellow to show players that a lot of loot would be available there. Shooting down drone after drone, the streamer soon assembled a loot collection of mainly legendary tier weapons. He was enjoying picking up the guns and items that dropped from the drones, of course, but couldn’t help feel that the feature would be giving some players a massive advantage over others. “If this shit is in competitive then this shit is broken as hell. I’m a slight bit concerned, not very concerned but just a little,” he said during the livestream, popping open several of the loot crates that hung overhead. “Bro I’m hot dropping this at Worlds bruh,” making reference to the Fortnite World Cup finals, which he has qualified for. (Tfue starts discussion at 0:25 below) The loot dropped by the drones is random and can include powerful weapons such as the Boom Bow or RPG, which he says makes the areas a massive attraction in-game. Tfue added: “If you land at a place that has drones you are guaranteed at least a handful of gold weapons, and that alone can get you so far in competitive. Bro, if you manage to get a heavy sniper and RPG, that’s huge bro. It’s massive.” Epic Games changed the aesthetics and layout of the game’s popular Tilted Towers locations at the end of Season 8 and the new NEO destination is no longer one of the biggest hot drop areas in the map – paving the way for these Hot Spots to become even more popular in the future. Whether or not their inclusion in competitive play would be as “broken” as Tenney suggests remains to be seen, but there have always been places in the game that players know – from the offset – have better loot. Pro players will be hoping that it isn’t too drastic a change ahead of the World Cup Finals in July.

Tfue explains why he can’t forgive Cloak after sponsored stream beef Fortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has finally responded to Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore and Thomas ‘72hrs’ Mulligan’s comments over him losing the opportunity to run a sponsored stream. When it comes to competitive Fortnite, there’s perhaps no bigger or recognizable duo than Tfue and Cloakzy. The pair competed under the FaZe Clan banner for over a year, racking up thousands of dollars in prize winnings and grabbing a tournament victory at TwitchCon 2018. However, their relationship has seemingly hit a rough patch after Tfue claimed that Cloak and 72hrs cost him $140,000 for skipping out on Fortnite trios action and holding sponsored streams for Madden 20 – something he had also been offered to do, but turned down in order to play the battle royale event. After the pair aired their thoughts, with Cloak calling him an “idiot” and a “dumbass”, Tfue has finally fired back. During his September 8 stream, the Fortnite star had been playing matches of the battle royale game by his lonesome, when members of his chat asked if he was ever going to “forgive” his longtime duo partner. Tfue responded: “Forgive Dennis? Dude, I mean how could I forgive him bro, they haven’t even fucking apologized. Like what, they just told me I’m a fucking idiot.” He continued on, still confused by the question. “Like what? Well, you know who your real friends are – I guess.” The trio have not played together since their apparent falling out, with Tfue even going as far as using Twitter to search for new partners for any upcoming Trios action. “Looking for New Permanent Trio who take Competitive Seriously,” he tweeted on September 7, following the start of the drama. It remains to be seen if they can all patch things up and get back on track to dominating in the battle royale title, but it appears as if for now – at least – they’ll be going their separate ways.

Tfue explains why he no longer “f*cks with” Cloak after losing out on $140,000 Tfue – TwitterTurner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney has reached a difficult point in his relationship with fellow Fortnite superstars Dennis ‘Cloak‘ Lepore and Thomas ’72hrs’ Mulligan after losing out on a big chunk of money. Update, September 8, 9:20AM EST: Cloak and 72hrs have now responded to Tfue’s accusations, suggesting it is his fault for miscommunicating about the situation. When one thinks of tight-knit duos in Fortnite, the first pair that comes to mind is the combination of Tfue and Cloak, who many have idolized as their dream team tandem. Unfortunately, it appears that their time as a duo may have come to an untimely end, due to some confusion that led to Tfue losing out on a considerable amount of money. On September 7, he announced that he was no longer part of that trio, who had been playing together in Fortnite’s weekly trios tournaments over the past month. Read More: Tfue tilted after hacker stream snipes him – “Looking for a new permanent trio who take competitive seriously,” he tweeted, catching many by surprise with the unexpected news. When asked about it during his stream, Tfue said that his decision stemmed from Cloak and 72hrs apparently costing him a lot of money with their decision to do promotional streams for Madden 20. He revealed that he’d declined to do a stream when EA Sports approached him, turning down $140,000 so that they could play in the trios tournament, but then found out later that the other two players had accepted their own deals without letting him know. Read More: Bugha hits out at Epic – “So like, they do a sponsored stream for Madden, and they’re getting paid, and it’s on this weekend,” he explained. “Madden offered me over a $140,000 to play their game, and I declined because I thought we were going to play the tournament this weekend, and they took the offer without telling me last second.” As a result, the former FaZe Clan star got stuck in limbo, as he could neither play the Fortnite tournament or host the promotional stream for Madden and earn an easy $140,000. That amount, incidentally, is what he’s setting as the price that Cloak and 72hrs have to pay him if they want him to rejoin their trio. Until then, he sounded like he doesn’t really want much to do with either of them. “So now I’m out over $140,000 because I thought we were going to practice, and now I’m here. So if they want to pay me the money that I lost, then I’m down. But other than that, I don’t really f*ck with them” It’s highly unlikely that this is the last we’ll hear about this, as it still remains a real question whether Tfue will actually demand Cloak and 72hrs to pay him the money. This situation is also a bit delicate because the two former FaZe pros had briefly moved in together, so there’s also uncertainty as to how that plays into all this, although it seems that they’re on their own for the time being.

Tfue dances shirtless on stream after losing Fortnite bet with viewers Thanks to ending up on the wrong end of a Fortnite wager with his viewers, Twitch star Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney had to dance shirtless live on stream. When it comes to making promises on stream, Tfue should use his latest experience as a lesson for why he should think twice in the future. On August 3, the Fortnite World Cup finalist pledged to his audience that if he ended up getting eliminated by one of the game’s new BRUTE mech suits, he would take off his shirt and dance in front of the camera. Surely enough, as destiny would have it, he did indeed fall victim to an enemy robot, putting him in a corner from which the only way out was to shake his hips on stream. Read More: Myth shows TimTheTatman BRUTE Mech exploit – “I need to explain to people why I’m even doing this in the first place,” he said with a smile on his face. “I literally for some reason said, if I die to a f*cking mech this game, I’ll take my shirt off and do the Homer Grind. Just take the mechs out of the game” Tfue put up a bit of a fight before actually agreeing to go through with his promise, initially fearing that he would in violation of Twitch’s terms of service. However, thanks to some strong persuasion from his ex-girlfriend and online celebrity Corinna Kopf, who was on the call with him at the time, he ultimately went through with the dance. “Okay, let’s f*cking go!” she said. “Stop stalling, rip that shirt off, and let’s see that grind!” Corinna Kopf played a key role in convincing Tfue to go through with his shirtless Homer Grind promise. His dance move of choice was the Homer Grind, which is the nickname given to a dance performed by Homer Simpson in the hit TV series The Simpsons. The dance involves putting your hands in front of your face while grinding the air, and, according to Urban Dictionary, is considered an indication of the performer’s desire to have sex. Tfue has done the Homer Grind on stream before, albeit with a shirt on, including this impromptu dance session he held after chugging beers with his former FaZe Clan duo Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore. Whether or not Tfue had fun doing his shirtless hip thrusts, we may never know. But if he didn’t, he may want to rethink about making such promises to his viewers in the future.

Tfue’s drunk Fortnite World Cup celebration stream shut down by girlfriend Corinna Kopf Corinna Kopf shut down boyfriend Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney’s Sunday, April 28 stream when the FaZe Clan member got drunk while celebrating his Fortnite World Cup qualification. Kopf and Tenney officially announced their relationship back in March, and the Instagram model has gone on to make a number of appearances in Tfue’s Twitch streams, including an attempt at playing Fortnite Battle Royale, which her pro player boyfriend found hilarious. After some rowdy celebrations on his April 28 stream, a drunk Tfue was told it was time to go by Kopf, as he slurred his way through some donations and thanked everyone for their support. 600Why was Tfue celebrating? For Tfue, April 28 saw the FaZe Clan member, who is widely considered to be one of the best Fortnite Battle Royale players in the world, seal his place at the Fortnite World Cup in New York City later this year. After realizing that he would have the opportunity to compete for $30 million in July, Tenney was greeted by his father and other family members who showered him with champagne as he jumped out of his ground-floor window and double-fisted two of the bottles. The streamer continued to consume alcoholic beverages throughout the remainder of his Twitch stream, relaxing and having a good time with members of his audience who were ecstatic to see him qualify for the World Cup. Corinna Kopf shuts down Tfue’s stream Eventually, Kopf decided that her clearly drunk boyfriend had celebrated enough, saying: “Chat, he has to go, he’s drunk, let’s go,” while an extremely happy Tenney attempted to read out more donations. While Kopf and his dad continued to convince him to shut down his broadcast, Tfue gave one last address to his viewers, blowing a kiss to the camera before telling his audience: “I love you guys. Thanks for smoking some beers with me. Thank you subscribing to me and using my code. We qualified for New York, so everything from this point on, we don’t give a fuck. Thank you guys, I’m not even slightly tipsy!” While Tfue was convinced that he wasn’t drunk, he wasn’t able to persuade Kopf, who finished the stream by addressing the chat herself, saying: “Oh my fucking God, this guy’s a fucking shitshow. Look at this pussy-ass lightweight, get off the screen. Hang up!” For Tfue, his focus can now turn to the Fortnite World Cup, with the pressure of securing a place at the finals in one of the seven remaining qualifier tournaments now lifted. The Fortnite World Cup finals take place in New York City from July 26 – 28, with a massive $30 million prize pool for those who manage to qualify for the tournament.

Tfue cries with laughter as xQc smashes desk in Fortnite rage Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney and popular streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel teamed up for some Fortnite Battle Royale duos, and it’s fair to say the FaZe Clan star was less than impressed. Since his release from professional Overwatch team Dallas Fuel in March 2018, xQc has enjoyed a massive growth in his popularity, playing a variety of games on his Twitch channel. He has recently entertained his 1.1 million followers by combining his eccentric behaviour with the wildly popular third person battle royale, even drawing comparisons with the ‘Old Ninja’. After getting into Fortnite, he and professional player Tfue paired up on April 19 in for some Arena duos, and the combination of Tfue’s skill and xQc’s unconventionality proved an entertaining mix. What happened when xQc and Tfue played Fortnite Battle Royale together? Despite xQc having been critical of competitive Fortnite in the past, he and Tfue dropped into some arena duos while playing together. Among the many games they shared, Tfue couldn’t help but completely lose it while spectating the struggling Canadian. Lengyel is pushed by an opponent, who quickly edits their staircase and drops down on the ex-Overwatch pro. He seemingly panics, swings his pick-axe a few times, and backs helplessly round a corner before being eliminated. “This fucking keyboard piece of shit!” rages xQc, before being heard smashing his desk. In response, Tfue can be seen literally falling off his chair laughing. Despite his struggles, the two managed to win a game together, as Tfue clutched up with 16 eliminations, in a 19 kill duo win. xQc can be seen looking impressed as Tfue finishes the game solo, before screaming “victory royale” and “let’s fucking go, actually poggers.” As he entertains a huge audience collaborating with one of the best players, it’s fair to say that xQc’s popularity is showing no signs of slowing down. Tfue, on the other hand, looks as impressive as ever on Fortnite Battle Royale, as he grinds for the World Cup Online Opens, which offer a $1 million prize pool each week.

Angry Tfue on why Fortnite Battle Royale has basically become Nazi Zombies Epic Games / FaZe / TreyarchFortnite Battle Royale, comparing it to one of Call of Duty‘s most chaotic game modes in an angry rant. The popular Twitch streamer, who has over 5.9 million followers on the platform at the time of writing, has become a constant target for people watching his livestream in order to find out his location on the map. However, even after dealing with the problems that causes for quite some time, Tfue flew off the handle during his May 7 stream and turned toxic on members of his chat following several eliminations at the hands of spying players. Tfue has started to land at the ever-changing Block location in Fortnite Battle Royale, but stream snipers are following him. “This game is honestly terrible,” the professional player said, just moments after being struck down by an SMG. “I can’t play this shit anymore. How is this even fun dude?” A fan commented in the Twitch chat with a suggestion of how to tackle the issue of stream snipers, before being met with a brutal response from Tfue. “Yeah, you would know dude. How many fucking viewers do you get on Twitch? Every game is like Nazi Zombies.” (Tfue starts his stream sniper discussion 21 seconds into the following video) The streamer’s comments just adds to speculation that he could soon switch Fortnite Battle Royale for another BR game in the future, after being linked with Apex Legends in the past. “I’m at the point where I would rather not play pubs [public matches] or not play Fortnite, than have to play with a ten minute delay,” he also said during the broadcast. Whether or not Tfue will actually quit the game in the future remains to be seen, but there was a moment where he had his mouse lingering right over the uninstall button in the Epic Store, as seen below. Fans of the Fortnite Battle Royale pro player will be hoping that he can find a way of resolving the issues he’s experiencing on the game in the near future, but things don’t look too promising.

Tfue and Corinna Kopf stunned after their pet dies on stream Corinna Kopf Instagram / Tfue TwitchTurner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney and Corinna Kopf found out losing a pet is tough after they discovered their fish was dead during a Twitch stream. Tfue may have qualified for the Fortnite World Cup and celebrated on stream but that doesn’t mean it’s all been good news for him. During his stream, he went to feed his goldfish that was living in a bowl on a little table behind his streaming setup when he discovered that his fish had in fact died. Tfue said goodbye to his fish live on stream His discovery came at a random moment as he turned around to feed his fish only to see it wasn’t moving at all. Read More: Novaruu “disgusted” by fellow Twitch streamer’s “arrogant” outburst about revealing clothing – “This is why I don’t have pets,” he said. “It’s dead, man. I fed it this morning. It’s dead. I’m so sad, bro. Don’t look at my stream, my goldfish is dead, dude.” Sadly enough, it sounded like Tfue’s dad planned on bringing the fish to New York after he qualified for the World Cup. It looks like those plans will have to put on hold, as either Tfue needs a replacement fish or they are bringing a lifeless corpse to the Finals. Corinna Kopf paid her respects Tfue was visibly upset by the death of his pet but he also got his girlfriend Corinna Kopf to grieve with him. Read More: Top 20 most subscribed YouTube channels – He handed the bowl with the dead fish to his girlfriend who was just directly off camera after she said the stream was just staring at it. (Timestamp 2:10) “Bring him over here,” she said. “You’re just letting the stream look at a dead body.” Now the question is whether or not Tfue will replace his fish with another one or if the wound is still too fresh to even think about getting a replacement.

Tfue can’t stop laughing after receiving Ninja-themed birthday gift Twitch superstar Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney was holding back tears as he had a fit of laughter after receiving a poster of Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins for his birthday. Tfue is one of the biggest Fortnite content creators in the world, rivaling even Ninja, with many considering him to be the new ‘face of Twitch’ after the former’s departure to Mixer. The two are often compared to one another and seen as rivals by many, as they focus on the same game, making the gift a somewhat unexpected joke, which Turner seemed to love. The American had a small pre-birthday celebration during a stream on January 1, where he largely played Fortnite but also took a quick break to unwrap an unexpected present. As he ripped apart the wrapping paper he noticed the gift was a poster of Ninja and immediately burst out laughing, doubling over, and seemingly wiping tears from his eyes before continuing to laugh even more. His viewers loved it as well, with an almost endless wave of laughs and emotes filling the chat for some time. Shortly after Tfue finally got some words out, jokingly saying “bro, what the f**k?” while heading off-screen to recompose himself. The gifter hilariously suggested that Tfue was a “big fan” of Ninja, and even cheekily suggested hanging it up right next to his computer, much to the amusement of the streamer and his chat. Turner hasn’t commented on what he’ll do with the poster, but perhaps it will make a comeback in the future. Who knows, maybe he will hang it up by his PC for the world to see during every stream.

Tfue challenges PewDiePie to “meme off” vs surprising opponent A meme creation challenge is potentially brewing between two giants in content creation after Twitch superstar Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney challenged YouTube king and ‘Meme Review’ host Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg to a “meme off.” There are very few names that are more closely affiliated with the art of memes than PewDiePie, whose Meme Review video series is among the most popular on YouTube. However, a surprising challenger has emerged in the shape of Tfue, who issued a challenge to Pewds in the form of a tweet that he put out on August 6, in front of his 2+ million Twitter followers. However, there is a twist in all of this – the Fortnite World Cup finalist will not be facing off against the Swedish YouTuber directly, and instead will be represented by FaZe Clan designer CuDs, who is the mastermind responsible for creating the thumbnails for Tfue’s videos. “I challenge PewDiePie to a meme off versus CoDsDesigns [CuDs],” he tweeted. Judging by the string of awkward responses to the tweet, most are siding with PewDiePie to win the battle, if one even is to be held. Fittingly, many of the comments were memes hinting that the contest wouldn’t even be close, with some suggesting that it would be beneath the Swede to even knowledge this as a proper challenge. Even CuDs himself commented with a meme (of course), hilariously hinted at not having much faith in himself, and that the challenge issued was not done so with his consent. As for Pewds, he hasn’t issued any response or reaction to Tfue’s challenge, although, it must be said, he hasn’t been active on Twitter for the last couple of days. While not many seem to be putting their money on FaZe CuDs making this potential meme off a tight affair, the designer does have numerous quality memes to his name, not to mention dozens of professionally produced thumbnails. However, as mentioned above, Pewds is widely thought of as the chairman of the board of directors when it comes to memes, so he would be a very tough adversary to oust.

Tfue calls Clix “cringe” for targeting him during his Fortnite return Tfue / ClixTfue was a little rusty in his long-awaited Fortnite return, but that didn’t stop fellow battle royale star Clix from targeting him on purpose during the Twitch star’s first stream back; a competitive move Tfue dubbed “so cringe.” Fortnite Season 5 has been setting the world on fire since it’s release. It even tempted Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney to make a much-anticipated comeback. At least, one that would last more than a day. It took him a while, but he ultimately caved in to the temptation, and streamed the game for 15 hours straight. His fans and followers were thrilled, and Tfue seemed to be enjoying himself too. But then something happened that dampened his mood. Tfue and his squad were minding their own business until they got rushed by another team. It quickly became apparent that they were extremely skilled players. The shots and edits were on point. Tfue wasn’t convinced, though, at least not right away. “Dude, this kid’s got a pistol. Like what is he doing?” he said. Little did he know, the enemy was Cody ‘Clix’ Conrod, and he knew exactly what he was doing. He made quick work of Tfue and his squad with a little help from his teammates. “It was Clix! They probably knew it was us, said Tfue. “Chat probably told them it was us, and then they pushed because they knew I hadn’t played the game in six months.” It turned out he was right. Some viewers pointed out that Clix admitted it on stream. “Somebody in my chat said they pushed because they saw it was my skin,” said Tfue. He wasn’t too thrilled about it, either. “Oh, that’s so cringe! That’s like meta-gaming. That’s whack.” Tfue wasn’t impressed, but he quickly got over it and moved on. It didn’t change the fact that his Fortnite return was a success. If anything, it added another clip to the highlight reel. Hopefully, Tfue will start playing regularly again; it’s undoubtedly something his fans will enjoy. However, based on what he’s said in the past, it seems unlikely.

Tfue buys warehouse to create new training center for aspiring streamers Twitter: FaZe ClanFortnite pro and Twitch superstar Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has revealed plans to create a “centralized hub” to teach aspiring streamers and help them develop. Tfue is undoubtedly one of the biggest success stories in gaming. He has built a brand rivaled in the space by only the likes of Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, who has become a mainstream star in his own right. That said, he is very clearly aware of the skillset needed to see success in his line of work, and now appears to want to help others in the space grow and see the same success he has. Speaking with Washington Post in an interview published on January 13, 2020, Tfue and his family spoke about a number of things – his lawsuit with FaZe Clan, celebrity status and life growing up in the Tenney household, to name but a few. The final topic that came up revolved around a 16,000-square foot warehouse Tfue recently bought, which is to be used as a “centralized hub” for Tfue and his brother, Jack, to create content and teach others about streaming, as well as other passions such as stunts and action sports. Their dad, Richard, explained: “We just take Jack and Turner, put them in a building, and show these kids how to do it. We’re gonna bring them in, get them started. If you have two, three, five thousand [followers], you have a chance!” The Washington Post piece goes on to explain that part of the idea is to create a new kind of gaming or streaming organization, where selected individuals will be taught how to grow their following. Richard also mentioned that online courses will be available to everyone, but does not offer any kind of time frame as to when these will become available. Tfue himself hasn’t spoken publicly on what Washington Post dubbed “Tfue Studios,” but if he has already purchased the warehouse to pull it off in, it might be coming sooner rather than later.

Tfue calls Alinity a “psycho bitch” amid cat-tossing controversy MrBeast, YouTube / Alinity, TwitchControversial Fortnite pro Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is one such star who spoke out on the issue. Alinity isn’t under fire for that single instance, however: the streamer likewise caught flak after viewers discovered older clips that showed her feeding vodka to her cat through a kiss, as well as climbing atop a cat tree and sending it tumbling to the floor. The incident sparked controversy throughout social media, with such stars like FaZe co-owner Nordan ‘FaZe Rain’ Shat and streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys decrying Alinity’s actions – and they weren’t the last to comment on the matter, by far. Popular Twitch streamer and professional Fortnite player Tfue commented on the debacle during a stream on July 23, joking that up-and-coming streamers need to start throwing cats to get famous on the platform. “You gotta start throwing cats, that’s the only way to make it on Twitch,” Tfue laughed. “You see those girls who are throwing fucking cats on Twitch? Psycho bitches, yo!” Tfue’s sentiments were echoed by FaZe Rain, who similarly called Alinity a “stupid bitch” for her actions shortly after the scandal went viral in a YouTube video titled, “TWITCH PLEASE BAN HER.” “Are you fucking serious?” Rain said of the matter. “Over a video game? You’re gonna throw your cat behind your head? You’re just a dumb bitch. Hopefully she doesn’t do that again. …She’s a stupid bitch, which is true – you are a stupid bitch.” Pokimane similarly decried Alinity’s actions during a Twitch stream, where she called the “yeeting” of the animal “messed up.” “She did deadass yeet the cat,” Pokimane commented. “That’s messed up! Especially because you can’t see what’s around her.” While Alinity has since addressed the matter in a series of Tweets and is cooperating with an investigation by her local SPCA, viewers across the net continue to call for a ban for the streamer, who has yet to receive an official punishment from Twitch as of writing this article.

Tfue’s brother Joogsquad hacked on Twitter amid FaZe lawsuit controversy Joogsquad – YouTubeYouTuber Jack ‘Joogsqaud’ Tenney, brother of Fortnite Battle Royale superstar Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney, has been hacked on Twitter, amid the ongoing controversy around Tfue’s lawsuit against FaZe Clan. There is no doubt that Tfue’s lawsuit against FaZe Clan has been one of the biggest topics of discussion in esports since the news broke on May 20. The saga between the star streamer and his org has been multi-faceted and drawn out, and the latest chapter has seen his brother Joogsquad get hacked on Twitter. On May 23, tweets began getting posted on Joogsquad’s account that mentioned Tfue, FaZe, and others involved with the situation. While clearly the tweets were being put out by hackers, they continue to remain posted on the page at the time of this article’s writing, nearly an hour after the first tweet went out. Tfue’s brother Joogsquad is a YouTuber with over 4.5 million subscribers. The one tweet that caught most people’s attention was one in which the hackers promised that he would leak the direct messages on the account if the tweet hit 1,000 retweets. That target was reached within minutes of the tweet being posted, although no DMs have been leaked as of yet. 400 The hackers went on to claim that they were the same ones who hacked Tfue’s social media and content platforms nearly a year ago, which caused a massive stir in the online gaming community at the time when it happened. “If Tfue didn’t make that law suit and snaked FaZe Clan for the clout, money and success, we wouldn’t of hacked this pleb,” they tweeted. “Sadly, we already did the job on Tfue a year ago. FaZeUp for life.” 400 Here are some of the other tweets posted by the hacker: 500500 Joogsquad defends his brother Joogsquad’s Twitter getting hacked came several hours after he publicly defended Tfue and called out FaZe founder Ricky ‘Banks’ Banks on Twitter. He also put out several tweets about the situation that weren’t really aimed at anyone, but happened to be the last posts he made prior to getting hacked. 500 Tfue-FaZe Clan lawsuit drama – what we know so far In the three days since news of Tfue’s lawsuit against FaZe went public, the drama has had more twists and turns to it than a racetrack.. Following Banks’ emotional video about why he can never forgive Tfue after all this, the Fortnite BR star put out his first statement since the drama began, explaining that his aim was to get out of a contract he feels was “bizarre” and “fucked.” Banks has since admitted that the deal was “horrible,” promising that FaZe will make the contract public for everyone to see, but has also called Tfue a “selfish asshole” for his scheme. Although the contract has not yet been released, it was reportedly leaked shortly following Tfue’s video, but there is no way of knowing whether it is the actual agreement until FaZe release the official contract. As always, we will continue to bring you updates to this drama as more information becomes available.

Tfue brutally roasts his own viewer’s “trash” Fortnite skills freepik / Tfue TwitchFortnite match, after the fan “let” the pro player kill them with some terrible accuracy. Tfue has built up a massive audience of supporters due to his incredible mechanical skill on the popular battle royale game and from his time on FaZe Clan, which came to a bitter end with Tenney suing the organization for having him in an “oppressive contract.” However, it appears that not all of the former FaZe member’s audience has learned from watching his game play, as when a viewer caught him in a tough position during a game of Fortnite, he was unable to finish the kill, resulting in Tfue roasting his him on stream. During a game of Arena Mode, Tfue found himself in a build battle where his enemy had placed a roof above him, which would allow only the viewer to edit it when he was ready to fight. The streamer immediately tried to break the roof, knowing that his opponent had the upper hand, saying, ”and i’m dead,” however, the viewer recognized this as the opportunity to attack Tfue while he had his pickaxe out Despite the disadvantage, Tfue managed to react quickly and turn things around, instantly roasting the player for not being able to finish the kill, exclaiming, “You’re so dogshit, how do you let me kill you?” Tfue was aware the enemy was viewing his stream and continued to pile on the insults, adding, “You’re so bad, I’m honestly sad that you’re one of my viewers, because I thought I would teach you to play the game a little bit better than that, buddy.” His frustration perhaps came from his previous experience of being targeted in game by ‘stream snipers, such as when he called out other pro players during duo scrims with cloak. It was unclear if the viewer was actually a stream sniper or not, although Tfue’s comments were quite harsh, it is understandable how frustrating it can be for streamers.

Tfue blames Twitch ads for killing his motivation to stream Kick/TfueKick streamer Tfue has revealed one of the worst parts about his time on Twitch and it’s by far the nonstop advertisements. Tfue shocked the streaming world on November 19 by announcing his shock return on Kick, leaving the purple platform behind. Once one of the biggest names on Twitch, Tfue’s deal with them was reportedly a nightmare. Fellow streamer Ninja even claimed he was a “slave to his contract” as it required him to stream over 200 hours a month. Now that Tfue has a new home, he spilled some details about his time on Twitch and how his favorite thing about Kick isn’t the 95/5 sub split, but rather that there are no ads. Tfue explains why ads make Twitch worse than Kick During a recent Fortnite stream, Tfue recalled that Kick had wanted to sign him for a while, but one of the main reasons he decided to agree was the fact there wouldn’t be advertisements. “I f**king hate ads,” he slammed. “I hated running ads. Oh my God, they were the worst. I think I ran over five minutes every hour.” It turns out that running so many ads ended up taking a toll on the streamer, detailing how they affected him personally. Tfue added, “I think it was starting to deteriorate not only my motivation, but my stream in general. I’m we don’t have to deal with that sh*t here.” He went on to argue that ads are doing a lot more harm on other platforms as well, pointing to YouTube’s ad block detection. Luckily, with no ads on Kick, Tfue won’t have to deal with running advertisements ever again and his first few streams have been a hit. His first broadcast back, Tfue started giving away $100K to complete strangers, stunning beachgoers who were taken aback by generous cash gifts.

Tfue blasts Fortnite Battle Royale, explains why it’s in the “worst state ever” Tfue, Instagram / Epic GamesFortnite Battle Royale, the professional player believes the game is in its worst ever state. The popular Twitch streamer had already made it clear that he doesn’t really want to play the battle royale game anymore, but during his May 14 broadcast he took his criticisms to a whole other level. FaZe Tfue, one of the most winningest esports players in terms of prize money, made it clear that he believes the game’s Season 9 meta is worse than any other he has seen before, in a frustrated rant about the game. “I enjoy playing it but I definitely think it’s the worst meta that’s ever existed,” the streamer said, seemingly deflated. “It’s worse than anything I could have imagined. It’s worse than when the Tommy Gun came out the first time.” As Tfue mentioned, the Drum Gun – or Tommy Gun as it’s widely referred to – made its return after winning a fan vote during Season 8’s final Unvaulting event. The move has been widely criticized by pro players and streamers, with Ninja also asking Epic Games to vault the weapon in a tweet on May 15. “Played the new patch for 90 minutes today and I’m going to say it… Vault the Drum Gun,” he posted. Played the new patch for 90 minutes…. and I am gunna say it…. V A U L T T H E D R U M G U N — Ninja (@Ninja) May 15, 2019 Will Tfue change his mind? The chances of Tfue quitting Fortnite Battle Royale altogether in the near future is highly unlikely, though, despite the negative comments he’s made about its current state. In fact, on May 15 he seemed to have showed some support to the changes made by Epic Games in the v9.01 patch, where the Drum Gun and The Baller faced further nerfs. He, and many other pro players, will be hoping that the developer makes further tweaks to gameplay in due course. Yet, there is no suggestion that more significant changes to the current meta are in the works, as of the time of writing.

Tfue begins losing YouTube subscribers following FaZe lawsuit drama The announcement of Turner ‘Fortnite Battle Royale pro, as subscribers begin to leave his channel in the aftermath of the lawsuit becoming public. News broke of Tfue’s lawsuit first broke on May 20, with the streamer citing an “oppressive” contract as the reason behind the legal proceedings, alongside claims of being forced to take part in dangerous stunts and underage drinking. Since then, FaZe Clan co-owner Ricky ‘FaZe Banks’ Banks has appeared in both an interview on Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem’s Drama Alert and a video directly addressing Tfue to give his side of what has become a bitter situation. 600How many people are unsubscribing from Tfue’s YouTube channel, and why? Since the reports of Tfue’s lawsuit against FaZe, the streamer has seen his subscribers start to go down for the first time since July 2018. Since joining FaZe Clan back in April 2018, Tfue’s YouTube channel has seen incredible growth, sitting at less than 100,000 subscribers on the platform before the official announcement of his signing, before skyrocketing up to over 10 million subscribers in the year since. The news of his legal action does appear to have had an affect on his social media following though. According to SocialBlade, his channel, which normally brings in around 12,000 new subscribers per day, has not only failed to bring in new viewers, but at time of writing has actually lost 12,000 subscribers in the hours following the massive news. It’s likely that the people unsubscribing from his channel are FaZe fans, who perhaps have taken Tfue’s decision to open legal proceedings against the organization as wrong, and have decided to remove their support from the streamer in the easiest way possible. Tfue isn’t the only YouTuber to see subscribers leave their channel following drama, as beauty guru James Charles saw millions of fans leave his channel in support of Tati Westbrook during their feud. For Tfue, the numbers leaving his channel have yet to reach the heights that James Charles saw, but it’s interesting to see people show their support for FaZe Clan by turning their backs on Tfue – someone who has arguably become the face of the world’s most popular game, Fortnite Battle Royale. It’s also possible that it may not get any worse for Tfue, as despite his affiliation with FaZe Clan, he has built a reputation outside of the organization for his incredible gameplay, meaning many fans are likely to tune in and watch him no matter what team he represents. The streamer has yet to release any sort of statement regarding the ongoing drama, but some fans have obviously chosen their side in the battle between the streamer and the legendary organization.

Tfue bans viewers for being “toxic” to other streamers Ninja and 72hrs FaZe Clan’s Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has taken a no-nonsense approach to moderating his chat, banning viewers who are being toxic to other streamers, namely Ninja and Team Liquid’s 72hrs. Just like any popular streamer, when you have tens of thousands of viewers chatting there’s always bound to be a few bad apples, but nothing that a ‘timeout’ or ban from the chat can’t solve. Typically, viewers are banned for being ‘toxic’ or just generally rude to the streamer or other chatters, but Tfue is trying to help out the whole community by banning viewers who are toxic to other streamers entirely. Toxicity between fans towards certain players is particularly common in the Fortnite community, due to the competitiveness between the top players, as fans pick their favorite between Tfue, Ninja and others. Tfue clearly recognizes that this isn’t healthy for anyone, and so isn’t taking any prisoners in his own chat. When one fan said that “72hrs mods banned me for saying use code Tfue” – Tfue responded with simply “yeh that’s fucking toxic, I’m banning you from my chat too. You don’t go into other people’s chats and advertize for other streamers.” The next day, another viewer came to Tfue’s chat simply to mock Ninja for having less viewers – and the FaZe Clan pro didn’t take kindly to this either: “Shut the fuck up. Anyone that says that, ban them. [Ninja] just started his stream, has 5,000 more viewers than you’ll ever have, so shut the fuck up.” If Tfue and other streamers, especially in the Fortnite community, can continue to stamp out immature behavior from fans who pit the popular players against each other, it will certainly be to the benefit of everyone. Many streamers struggle and find themselves comparing their numbers to other streamers, and having fans rub it in too only makes matters worse. Fortnite, the most popular game on Twitch, is so saturated with streamers that it can be hard to stand out, and even harder if fans are attempting to create divides among the community.

Tfue becomes only second FaZe member to hit major YouTube milestone – Reactions FaZe Clan’s Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney became the second member of the team to reach 10 million YouTube subscriptions. Fortnite can be credited with launching many streamers’ careers as Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins have both Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani and FaZe Clan’s Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney have exploded in popularity thanks to the game. While Ninja and Myth grew very quickly in the beginning, their Twitch numbers have begun to wane as Tfue is now pretty much consistently the most viewed Fortnite channel when he is live. As with most popular streamers, their Twitch success also transfers over to YouTube and Tfue has seen very rapid growth there along with Twitch. Tfue has become the second member of FaZe Clan, joining Rug, to reach 10,000,000 YouTube subscribers, which is no small milestone to reach. His channel was first created back in 2014 with his inaugural video being a video of Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. The other videos include games like Destiny, PUBG and H1Z1 before moving onto Fortnite full-time where the FaZe Clan member exploded in viewership and popularity. He only has 479 videos in total on the channel but has amassed the 10 million subscriptions and over 744 million views, which is a very impressive feat. The number grows each day so this is just the beginning for Tfue as he continues to make a bigger name for himself. I’ve never seen anything quite like @TTfue’s come up. You’ve done so much in such a short amount of time, it’s fucking wild. Super proud of you. Congrats on 10 milli dog, here’s to another 10 :beers: — FaZe Banks (@Banks) March 30, 2019 Many Fortnite, Twitch and YouTube personalities complemented Tfue on his impressive milestone on Twitter. “I’ve never seen anything quite like Tfue’s come up,” FaZe Banks tweeted. “You’ve done so much in such a short amount of time, it’s fucking wild. Super proud of you. Congrats on 10 milli dog, here’s to another 10.” FaZe members Censor, Teeqo, Pamaj, Replays and Nikan all congratulated Tfue on the milestone in replies to his initial tweet, but there was also excitement outside the members of FaZe. Other notable names to share their congratulations were KEEMSTAR, CouRage, TimTheTatman and NoahJ456. This is just the beginning for Tfue as he still has a very bright future in the Fortnite esports scene and Twitch in general.

Tfue announces unexpected break from streaming: “I feel trapped” Tfue, TwitchFortnite professional player is among the biggest names to regularly broadcast on the livestreaming platform, but it appears that the job has been having an emotional toll on his mental health. He had previously given fans many hints that he was no longer happy playing Epic Games’ popular battle royale game back, suggesting that he would be looking to give other games a try in August, but after a short stint on Minecraft it appears that Tfue now thinks a break from streaming is in order. Opening up about his decision in a series of short statements on September 13, the former FaZe Clan player announced that fans definitely won’t be seeing him online any time soon – as he needs to take a break. “I’m taking some time off streaming,” he tweeted. “I have anything I could ask for in life but for some reason I’m not happy lately.” While he never mentioned the amount of time that he will be going away for, his next message was potentially more concerning. “I feel trapped in a negative crawl space in my mind,” Tenney added. There’s no doubt that the year of 2019 will have been a challenging one for Tfue in some regards, having been caught up in a long-drawn-out exit from FaZe Clan, which also included two lawsuits. He challenged the organization legally after claiming they had signed him to an “oppressive” contract back in May, while FaZe counter-sued the player at the beginning of August, arguing that he was in breach of contract and was guilty of ‘betrayal’. Whether or not these events specifically impacted the decision to take a break from streaming or not is unclear, but his huge fanbase will be wishing him all the best during this time – and will no doubt flock back to his channel in large numbers whenever he decided to return.

Tfue appears to confirm relationship with Corinna Kopf in revealing Instagram post Corinna Kopf, Instagram / Tfue, YouTubePopular Twitch streamer and Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue may have let slip his involvement with Instagram model Corinna Kopf, as told by an incriminating picture on his Instagram story. Tfue posted an image of himself hoisting a blonde-haired woman on his shoulder on March 3, with the caption, “She used code Tfue” – complete with a black heart. The streamer went on to confirm the identity of the woman as Corinna by tagging her account beneath the photo, further confirming their possible romantic involvement. Tfue’s latest picture follows a slew of rumors between the two that surfaced in December 2018, after one streamer claimed to have seen the two at a party hosted by actress Bella Thorne. That’s not all; the two were later caught in a vlog taken at MrBeast’s $100,000 circle challenge, prompting mass speculation that the two were dating. However, Tfue brushed off these rumors in DMs with Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR, going on to claim that he and Kopf were “just friends” in an interview with The Hollywood Fix. Kopf herself recently broke off a casual relationship with Logan Paul, after being spotted with the YouTuber at a Lakers game in early January. In fact, Paul insinuated that Kopf “runs through the YouTubers,” following her suggestive tweet toward KSI on Valentine’s day – which appeared to rub Paul the wrong way, as stated on an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast. [Timestamp: 1:03:25 for mobile viewers] Now, it appears that Kopf is openly seeing Tfue, as she posted their photo to her own Instagram account, as well.

Tfue and Ninja surpassed as most followed Twitch channels in December FaZe Clan/Ninja, TwitchTwitch’s most followed streamers for the month of December aren’t Ninja or Tfue, but a banned Russian casino account. The Fortnite streamers are usually right at the top of the Twitch rankings, but they have fallen well behind the account, called Slot_V, in the follower growth standings for December. Ninja and Tfue have been active on Twitch for years, but the amazing thing is that Slot_V hasn’t had to put the hours in to replace them at the top. It has only streamed once in December, yet it has managed to amass over 431,000 new followers. Slot_V took off at the end of November, gaining over 300,000 followers between November 27 and December 1. However, the Russian account may not be top for too long as the account has been deleted, haemorrhaging 215,000 followers on December 2, a day after its first and only stream of the month. However, it could still be a tall order for Tfue and Ninja to return to the top this month as the pair are currently 100,000 new followers behind Slot_V. Tfue is currently placed second in the follower growth rankings, gaining over 340,000 new followers – 20,000 more than Ninja, who sits in third place with more than 320,000 new followers. With the huge growth and lack of content, it’s likely that the Slot_V account was botting fake followers in order to gain some traction for their gambling website. The account had streamed a number of times in the past, but only to a small number of viewers. Even when it had amassed over 435,000 total followers, the account was still only able to attract just over 3,000 viewers to their stream, which only lasted for around 40 minutes. However, with the account now being deleted, it shouldn’t be too long before their metrics are taken away, handing the chance back to the Fortnite streamers to reclaim top spot.

Texas teacher throws desk after being “disrespected” by students X: DallasTexasTVA Texas teacher has found online support after he was filmed throwing a desk and shouting at students after they “disrespected” him. Teaching can be emotionally taxing, with a 2021 survey by EdWeek Research Center finding approximately 91 percent of teachers regularly experience job-related stress. Between February 2020 and May 2022, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that around 300,000 public school teachers and staff left the industry. Now, one teacher has been filmed seemingly hitting his breaking point after being “disrespected” by students one too many times, resulting in the man shouting and throwing a desk. The incident took place at Rowlett High School in Garland, Texas, with footage uploaded to X (formerly Twitter) showing the moment all hell broke loose after a student seemingly used their phone. Kicking a table, the teacher screamed at the students, shouting, “I put up with all types of sh**. I’m tired of being goddamn disrespected every damn day.” “I very nicely told you what to do,” he continued, picking up and throwing the fallen table so that it miraculously landed perfectly upright. “Bro, what the f***,” the student filming the incident can be heard saying before the video cuts out. The teacher has since been identified as Social Studies teacher Dr. Joe Bradshaw by previous students, many of whom have rushed to his defense. “I literally had this guy as a teacher and he was always very nice and respectful and enthusiastic about what he was teaching. And he even has a doctorate. They must’ve really been trying him,” one person wrote. Another said, “I had him as well. He made the subject as fun as possible due to how boring the topic actually was. He had nothing but my full respect. If I find out he was fired, I’m going right back to that school and demand he gets put back in [for real].” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Texas woman accidentally drives to Mexico trying to find Home Depot TikTokA Texas woman accidentally drove to Mexico in an effort to pick up zip ties at Home Depot for her mother. One person’s missed exit ended up transporting her into another country. Trinity Jackson (@thetrinityjackson) explained how she mistakenly traveled to Mexico on her TikTok account. Trinity had been spending time with her mother in El Paso, Texas, who had asked her to pick up zip ties at Home Depot. Trinity discovered that the nearest Home Depot was only 11 minutes away and started to drive there. The TikToker’s slight mistake landed her at the border between Mexico and the United States. Here’s how she made it back. Woman ends up in Mexico after one missed exit for Home Depot Trinity revealed that she was driving with her dogs while music played in the car. Then, she noticed a sign for the Port of Juarez, which connects El Paso and Cuidad Juarez, Mexico. “Mind you, at this point, I’m already way too close to the sign to put two and two together, and I realize I am now exiting America and heading to Mexico,” she said. There was no place for her to turn around until she encountered the Border Patrol. “I said I need to understand how I can get back into my country,” Trinity explained to agents, despite a language barrier. “I didn’t mean to do this. This is an accident. This is a missed exit to the extreme.” Trinity lacked valid vehicle registration but provided her driver’s license, passport, and other legal documents. Security dogs then searched her car, and the agents allowed Trinity to re-enter the United States. “I don’t care about the zip ties. The zip ties will be there tomorrow. I’m gonna crotchet, drink some wine, and go to bed in America,” Jackson concluded. For more viral TikTok news stories and current trends, check out our coverage here.

Texan TikToker goes viral after first time trying boba bubble tea ends in disaster TikTok: John Michael RaceWhen Texas-based TikToker John Michael Race decided to film his first encounter with boba – or, as he calls it, “bawbuh” – he probably didn’t expect to become a viral hit. On 30 April, Race, under the TikTok handle ‘johnmichaelsayshi’, excitedly shared his first ever boba tea with his viewers. “I think they’re meant to dissolve,” he said, awkwardly shaking the boba balls in his drink. This was his first mistake. Unfortunately, what John didn’t anticipate was a rogue boba ball coming back with a vengeance. As he started to choke, a fountain of boba tea sprayed his car. “Oh my God, I choked on something!” he screamed. “My car!” With the TikTok amassing 5.5 million views overnight, users seemed enchanted by the sheer chaos of the video. As well as pointing out Race’s unique pronunciation of boba (which he refers to as “bawbuhs”), TikTokers couldn’t get over how John was surprised that he choked. In one comment that got 116k likes, TikTok user Arianna Stemp quipped: “I choked on something! Like it’s a mystery.” However, Race’s boba-related impact wasn’t limited to TikTok. The video quickly spread to Twitter, where it amassed over 3 million views and even caught the attention of Glee star, Jane Lynch. Of course, with Twitter being Twitter, it wasn’t long before John found himself being turned into a meme, with Twitter users turning his experience into a dramatic musical remix and even editing the video in time to Britney Spears’ ‘Gimme More’ music video. https://twitter.com/joethehack/status/1388293170681716743 It looks like Race has responded to his new-found internet fame with good faith, as he dutifully filmed his second round with boba tea on 1 May. This time, he emerged victorious. Remarking that there was “no mess” this time round, John reminded viewers of a lesson he unfortunately learned the hard way: “chew and swallow.”

Texas dad goes viral on TikTok for being drunk while wife gives birth TikTok: nottherealhannahbA Texas father went viral after his wife posted a video of her water breaking unexpectedly on the fourth of July while the dad was still drunk from partying. Pregnancies are often full of unexpected and urgent moments, but nothing can trump the panic that ensues when your water breaks. Especially when that moment comes an entire month before you were ready. A dad in Texas went massively viral after his wife’s water broke an entire month early, leading him to drunkenly pack everything the couple needed as he was partying for the fourth of July just moments prior. TikTok dad goes viral for being drunk while wife gives birth TikTok user nottherealhannahb went viral after posting a video of her husband holding their newborn baby with a hilarious story attached. “Thinking about the time my water broke 4 weeks early on the 4th of July and my husband was still hammered from the night before.” Her husband can’t believe the news that her water broke, and cried to his wife, “But I’m tired!” In the description of the TikTok, Hannah added: “He packed 3 bathing suits and our dog ate all the “juice.” The video has amassed over 1.8 million views since being posted on October 7. Users in the comment section roasted the husband’s drunken response. One viewer said, “Girl HOW were you so calm & nice! The second he said “I’m tired” I would have had steam coming out my ears.” Another added, “Those days of sleeping in are over my friend.” Even after the dad packed three bathing suits in a drunken hurry, the baby was successfully delivered without a hitch.

Tessa Brooks addresses Bryce Hall dating rumors after viral paparazzi photo YouTube: Bryce HallYouTube star Tessa Brooks has finally addressed rumors over her purported romance with Bryce Hall after the TikToker tweeted a flirty paparazzi photo of them together. Ever since his split from Addison Rae earlier this year, Bryce Hall has been stirring up romance rumors here, there, and yonder with a number of social media stars. From model Josie Canseco to MTV starlet Tana Mongeau, Hall hasn’t exactly gone exclusive with anyone, leaving fans curious as to who, if anyone, he’s really dating. Speculation sparked yet again on December 1, 2021, when Hall posted an old paparazzi photo of himself with beauty YouTuber Tessa Brooks, who appeared to be giving him some pretty flirty glances. Unfortunately for Hall, his flirty post wasn’t exactly met with the energy he put out there. Brooks notably responded with a photo of Hall with a bloody nose from his boxing match against Austin McBroom — a bout that he ended up losing. This online interaction isn’t the only thing raising fans’ eyebrows; a TikTok was also recently uploaded that showed Hall putting an arm around Brooks while they were out on the town. In the video, Brooks quickly and sternly removes Hall’s arm from around her shoulders, appearing none too pleased about the situation. Click here if TikTok fails to load. Bryce Hall & Tessa Brooks shut down dating rumors Just a short while after their Twitter convo, the two influencers have officially addressed the rumors about them… and it looks like these two have a fairly comfortable friendship, although they admitted to locking lips in the past. During their impromptu Q&A session with fans, Hall admitted that Brooks was just “one of the bros,” with Brooks claiming multiple times that they were just “friends,” saying, “I’m very in love… just not with you.” (Topic begins at 5:17) While this isn’t the first time Hall has addressed such rumors with another influencer, it’s clear that there’s nothing going on between these two… but that isn’t going to stop Hall from using it for what he himself called “clickbait.”

Tesla driver causes chaos as car dies in the middle of McDonald’s drive-thru lisamajor1053 / Mike MozartA Canadian Tesla driver caused chaos as they decided to go to McDonald’s instead of charging the car, leading them to get stuck in the drive-thru line. There’s no doubt that Teslas are cool cars. With features such as autopilot, caraoke, and being able to stream films and play video games on its infotainment system, it’s definitely a unique car. But its uniqueness has also caused some troubles for drivers who might not be familiar with the new features or how they work. This was the case for a Tesla driver in Ontario, Canada, who managed to get the car stuck in the line for a McDonalds’ drive-thru. How did the Tesla get stuck? A woman named Lisa posted a video of the event on her TikTok, which has been seen by 459,600 people in just two days. The video sees Lisa filmed a Tesla in front of her and told the viewers: “So a Tesla died in the parking lot of the McDonalds drive-thru. “Oh, and they can’t push it out because they can’t put it in gear. This is gonna be fun.” A McDonalds worker is then seen talking to the driver of the Tesla before walking past Lisa’s car to tell the line behind her that a Tesla had died. Lisa then asks the worker how they will get out. The worker said that that’s what they’re trying to figure out before the clip cuts off. After watching the video, people couldn’t believe that the driver did not know how to put the car in gear without turning it on. One person commented: “Confused how these ppl that have Teslas don’t know they can still put the car in neutral.” Another added: “I own a Tesla and have no idea how this would even happen to someone.” A third person found the situation hilarious, as he wrote: “The driver literally had to decide: should I go charge somewhere or go to McDonald’s? I choose McDonald’s. Lol.” For more entertainment news and other viral stories, head over to check out our coverage.

Terrifying giant octopus is giving TikTok users nightmares TikTok: brookesirahRelease the Kraken! TikTok viewers are freaking out over a giant octopus that caught hold of one user’s crab trap and wouldn’t let go. TikTok is home to a slew of viral content. From new dance moves to viral foodie trends and more, there’s something for everyone on the world’s most popular social media app. Sometimes, though, content gets uploaded to the site that truly takes one’s breath away… and that’s exactly what happened when TikTok user Brooke Satta showed off an astounding moment from one of her fishing trips. In her video, the Vancouver native showed off a massive octopus that latched itself onto her crew’s prawn trap as they were reeling their catch back onto the boat. “Holy — you’re kidding!” one of the crewmates can be heard saying. “That is so huge!” “Wanna take him?” another asks.”I’ve never seen one this big. Holy sh*t!” “That’s a big octopus,” another says. “I wanna eat it, but I don’t know how to get it.” Despite the crew’s appetite for seafood, the TikToker claims that they allowed the octopus to return to the depths. “The octopus held on for a bit then let go and swam back down,” Brooke captioned her video. “Coolest sight I’ve seen!” Giant octopus compared to kraken in viral TikTok video The sheer size of the creature is dropping jaws all over the app, with some commenters comparing the octopus to the ‘Kraken’ of mythical folklore and legend. “Pretty sure that’s a kraken,” one commenter wrote. “People just casually giggling at a kraken,” another said. “Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!” another joked, referencing a line from Disney’s ‘Monsters Inc.’ “He’s saving his fish friends,” a viewer added. Brooke’s viral TikTok video caught an awe-inspiring moment from nature that has racked up over 41 million views since being uploaded on December 27. In an interview with Global News, Satta claimed she and the crew thought they’d simply caught a massive haul of prawns before reeling up the giant, tentacled hitchhiker. “When we first started pulling the trap up, it was super heavy, so we thought it was a pretty full prawn trap, and it was orange just like prawns. …as it was surfacing we were like, ‘Oh my gosh, that is a huge octopus!’” “I love ocean life, so I was very excited and surprised.” It’s likely that the octopus in the video is a Giant Pacific Octopus, which can grow anywhere from 9.75 to 16 feet long. This is just the latest animal to take over TikTok after a horrified woman discovered a hamster eating through her bedroom ceiling from her neighbor’s apartment.

Tesla-controlled Mario Kart clone is the coolest thing you’ll see today YouTube: Vector Unit Twitter: AllMoneyInRicoA video has gone viral with over 400,000 likes on Twitter of a man playing the Mario Kart dupe ‘Beach Buggy Racing 2’ in a Tesla, using the steering wheel as the main control. Since the car’s release, plenty of games have been brought to Tesla including Cuphead and Fallout Shelter. In March a feature was released that allowed Tesla users to play any PC game via an app called Rainway. In June, eccentric entrepreneur Elon Musk suggested that he wanted to bring GTA to the car, in a tweet that said it’s “only a matter of time before someone steals a Tesla while playing GTA on a Tesla,” following up with a curious: “literally.” But for now, people must satisfy their in-game driving cravings by playing ‘Beach Buggy Racing 2,’ a Mario Kart style game with bright, fun courses and an upbeat soundtrack. The twist is, you use the actual steering wheel as the main control. In the video posted by Twitter user ‘AllMoneyInRico’ the person behind the camera comments the driver is “playing a game with a steering wheel and the actual pedal. What the f**k?” https://twitter.com/AllMoneyInRico/status/1296183895172493319 The video shows him frantically steering his on screen character, quickly darting back to the touch screen to activate the on screen controls as his friends watch in awe. One girl underneath the viral tweet posted her own Beach Buggy racing efforts, though she claimed “I can’t play to save my life,” and says in the video that she had to alter the sensitivity settings of the steering wheel to make playing a little easier. I can’t play to save my life pic.twitter.com/834XlUra76 — •Jordin dew•✨ (@jordin_dew) August 20, 2020 At the time of writing the tweet has amassed over 400,000 likes, 88,000 retweets and comments, and the video itself has over 6 million views. While it doesn’t seem like the real Mario Kart is due to arrive on the Tesla anytime soon, people are having just as much fun with its lookalike Beach Buggy Racing and its novelty controls.

Terrified divers kick shark in the face to escape attack in viral video TIKTOK: taos_oceanadventureTwo divers went viral on TikTok after sharing their “intense” encounter with the shark, which one managed to kick in the face before they escaped to shore. In a 53-second clip, footage showed the terrifying moment Tao Hoogland and his friend were attacked by the beast, while diving in an area renowned for shark sightings. “The most intense shark attack!” he wrote in a text-overlay on the video, which has amassed over 959,000 views. Tao Hoogland was spearfishing with friend Joseph, when a large bronze whaler shark swam up to them in Shark Bay, Western Australia. Diver films encounter with shark The TikToker decided to film as the apex predator darted toward him. In the video, he’s seen trying to battle it off him, before swiftly kicking it in the face. “As I looked up to my dive buddy, he signaled that it was time to go, especially as we had several bad encounters with similar sharks the week prior,” Tao recalled. “Suddenly, the shark reappeared behind me and before I knew what was happening, it was attacking my buddy in between our legs, trying to take the fish off his speargun.” Both divers hurried back to shore, but were shocked at how persistent the predator had been. “The shark tried to take the rest of the fish out of our hands, as we swam back to shore,” Tao said. “I was surprised by how aggressive and cunning the shark was, but I quickly became annoyed as it wouldn’t leave us alone.” In the comments, TikTok users were in awe of the scary event. “You survived a shark attack!! You got a meaning to life don’t forget this,” one wrote. “Omg my heart would have stopped I wouldn’t be able to move after that let alone swim back to shore,” another said. Despite being in shock after the encounter, Tao said that he and his diving buddy returned to the ocean the next day. For more TikTok news and other viral stories, head over to our viral hub.

Terrified streamer cornered by screaming stranger during IRL Paris broadcast Twitch: justkethTwitch streamer ‘justketh’ was broadcasting her trip in Paris, France when she was cornered by a screaming man who accused her of filming him. On Twitch, live traveling broadcasts are quite common. Streamers will often share their adventures abroad with fans, showing off vistas and experiences that some folks would never experience in their own lives. However, IRL live streams often don’t go off without a hitch. Streaming in public places can sometimes invite the occasional unwanted interaction with strangers who don’t like being filmed. This happened to Twitch streamer ‘justketh,’ who is currently taking a tour of Europe with her 52,000 followers. She was walking down the streets of Paris trying to find a bus stop when a random man, who was walking toward her, stopped the streamer to ask if she had been specifically filming him without his consent. “You don’t do that in Paris,” the man said after asking her to erase the footage. “You don’t understand what you’re doing. What is your name?” The ensuing interaction was hair-raising. The man’s ire continued to escalate, resulting in the miffed stranger outright screaming at Keth — and even calling for the police, yelling that “she has my picture!” “He won’t let me leave,” a worried Keth said to her chat. “I think he’s gonna hurt me.” Despite Keth’s attempts to get the man to leave her alone, he didn’t budge until a kind stranger stepped in to mitigate the conflict. The stranger explained to the disgruntled man that Keth wasn’t filming him, specifically. “She didn’t try to film you or anything,” the stranger stated. “Our generation has this kind of thing. He was like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know.’” When given an opportunity to apologize to Keth, the man just walked away, instead — but at least Keth was unharmed, thanks to the kindness of the Parisian local. This is far from the first time a Twitch travel stream has gone off the rails; popular IRL streamer Jinny was accosted by a stranger who made racist remarks toward her during her trip to NYC in 2021, shocking her chat and leaving the streamer angry and upset.

Terrible idea for Airpods case goes viral as major flaw is pointed out Apple / Aaliyah’s LabWhat initially seemed like a good idea for an iPhone case ended up having a fatal flaw pointed out in a tweet that went viral on January 22. The iPhone ecosystem can end up being very expensive to buy into, but it’s necessary if you want to get your hands on the latest and greatest technology Apple have to offer. If you want a way to listen to music on your iPhone for example, you might need to invest in a pair of AirPods that can run you over $100 for even the cheapest pair. If you do buy a set, then you’ll certainly not want to lose them as it’ll hurt a whole lot more than just losing a regular pair of earbuds. One way to do this is by buying a special case that will not only keep your phone protected, but will also keep your AirPods safe. This means that wherever your phone is, your AirPods will be in the same spot, making it a very convenient option. In a situation of playing devil’s advocate, Twitter user Kinglamar__ points out this could end up being very dangerous. “Imagine a thief stealing your iPhone and getting AirPods free,” he said in a now-viral tweet. Imagine a thief stealing your iPhone and getting AirPods free😂 https://t.co/UArirmA11w — Lamarr (@Kinglamarr___) January 22, 2020 At the time of this writing, the tweet has over 500,000 likes, suggesting that a lot of people would agree with this sentiment. While it’s likely not what the phone case designer had in mind, it’s going to be hard to picture anything other than the worst-case scenario after this. It’s hard to argue against the practicality the case has, as losing your headphones is far more likely than losing your entire phone. However, if you’re not worried about having your phone stolen, then you can give the phone case a look for yourself. The case itself is inexpensive when compared to the iPhone itself or even a set of AirPods, so it could very well be worth the risk. Phone thefts are on the decline due to more advanced security features, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t worry about them at all anymore. If you do decide to purchase it, just make sure you keep a close watch over your phone because would-be thieves could be keeping an eye on it after seeing this tweet.

With over a billion monthly users on TikTok, there’s no telling what kind of wild videos are going to show up on your For You Page. From a DoorDash driver slashing a customer’s tires to TikTokers acting like NPCs to bring in boatloads of money, there’s quite a variety. One video that’s currently making its way around the internet, with over 14 million views in two days, shows the terrifying moment couple James and Roxanne woke up to the sound of a wild animal trying to eat its way through the tent. Campers wake up to animal biting on their tent A husband and wife duo, James and Roxanne, were camping at Dartmoor National Park in England.

Click here if video doesn’t load “No, it doesn’t give a s**t,” James is heard saying. James soon decided to confront the unknown animal before it destroyed the tent. He unzipped the door of the tent before braving it and going outside to confront the animal. However, he was shocked to see what actually awaited him outside the tent. “Oh my god, there’s like a whole…” James started telling Roxanne before bursting out laughing. A whole herd of ponies had found their way to the tent and was curiously standing around the tent in the field. “Hello,” James said to the ponies. Viewers can’t believe what they saw The viewers were just as relieved as the campers, as several of them believed it had been a bear trying to get through the tent. One person wrote: “Omg I bet they were relieved.” A second person said: “I thought it was a wild boar/pig.” “I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A BEAR OR SOMETHING,” a third added. Another wrote: “Tent is green they prob wanted to eat the weird grass.” This is not the only scary moment people have gone through while camping recently. Another camping couple recently went viral after sharing a message that was carved into a flat rock and placed on top of a stump behind the van they were camping in, which made them call the police.

“Terminator” security guard destroys four people at once in viral brawl Twitter/FightHavenA security guard is being dubbed a human Terminator after taking on four men at the same time in a ridiculous fight video. Arnold Scwazernagger, watch out! A security guard who seems to be a Cybernetic Organism is going viral on Twitter after absolutely obliterating a group of men in a melee that looks like it was out of T2. We’ve seen many fight videos take the internet by storm in recent months, especially when one guy stands his own against multiple attackers, but this may be the most decisive win of all. The clip, which has been viewed over 3 million times after being posted to Twitter by FightHaven, has a mall security guard show that he’s no Paul Blart when a group began to hit him from behind. Mall cop “Terminator” fights four men at the same time The video begins, as these clips normally do, in the middle of the action with the security guard holding one man down, but as he does show, he takes multiple punches from behind. After a single punch onto the man on the ground seemed to take him out of the altercation, the guard turned his attention to another. In a rare sight, the security guard actually performed a headbutt which was enough to eliminate yet another foe before damaging another with a hard body shot. If that wasn’t enough, one of the attackers then hit the guard with a foreign object, but it barely even made him flinch. Sensing that they were outmatched, the others fled while the guard held onto another, delivering a second headbutt for good measure before the video ends. While the video has recently gone viral, the bout actually took place back in 2022 at a mall in London after an alleged shoplifting incident at JD Sports. There’s no word on if this man actually is made of living tissue over metal endoskeleton, but if they ever reboot the Terminator series again, Hollywood may want to consider giving this guy a call.

TenZ and Kyedae offer to buy PC for streamer after dad destroyed hers Twitter/kyedae/NarwhalFPSPro Valorant player Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo and his girlfriend, ‘Kyedae’ are offering to buy a PC for a 15-year-old streamer after her father destroyed hers by throwing it into a pool. Back on March 12, Twitch streamer and YouTuber NarwhalFPS revealed her father threw her PC in their pool after she had an argument with her sister. To make matters worse, it was a PC she had purchased with her own money she made through YouTube. A photo showing the computer submerged in water quickly spread on social media, attracting the attention of many in the industry. Now, after Narwhal revealed that her parents wouldn’t allow her to receive donations from viewers to buy a new PC, the streaming couple of TenZ and Kyedae are stepping in to help. TenZ & Kyedae want to help young streamer In an update message by Narwhal, the streamer discussed the incident in greater detail and even said that she didn’t want to take other people’s money to deal with her own problem. “At the end of the day, the computer isn’t the end of the world, but it is my passion and I do love making content and streaming for you guys,” she said. Furthermore, she noted how because she’s so young, her savings are under her parents’ control, so it’s not like the donations would help in any case. This prompted Kyedae to step in, replying to the message to ask if it would be okay if she and the Sentinels star could gift her a computer instead of donations. “Could Tyson and I gift you a new PC? Or would your parents decline that as well?” she inquired. “Let us know NarwhalFPS, it would be a ‘gift’ not a donation,” the Canadian Valorant icon added. So far, Narwhal hasn’t accepted the generous offer and it’s unclear how her parents would react. Still, it’s nice to see TenZ and his 100 Thieves girlfriend using their status for good. Whether or not they can act on their kindness, however, remains to be seen.

Having been together for several years, TenZ and Kyedae have grown in popularity thanks to their own talents and personality on and off stream. Tyson has blown up over the years thanks to his CS:GO and Valorant skills, creating a community of over 2.3 million fans. Kyedae has amassed over one million followers on Twitch, with hundreds of thousands more across Twitter, Instagram, and her self-titled YouTube channel. On February 24, the couple was building a new computer on stream when Kyedae dropped one of the most expensive parts — leaving TenZ nearly speechless. TenZ speechless after Kyedae drops 3090 During their stream, the duo was explaining to chat that they chose mostly white parts for the new PC. Kyedae picks up the Nvidia RTX 3090 and asks Tyson if it is also white. Seconds before he was able to answer, she dropped the $3000 graphics card on the ground — leaving TenZ stunned. “Are you f**king serious? There’s no way you just dropped a 3090. Did you do that on purpose?” he said before Kyedae asked if it was bad. “Yeah, it’s bad, it might break. Don’t drop 3090s.” Kyedae’s stream chat had a similar feeling, with comments like “I’m gonna die” and “That hurt” being spammed throughout. If you’re into building computers, you might understand why TenZ and stream chat reacted the way they did. If you’re not into that sort of thing, however, you’ll be surprised to find out the graphics card dropped in the video is extremely hard to find — and sells for $3,228 when it is in stock. When they finished the PC build, the duo didn’t hook it up to a monitor so it’s unknown whether or not the drop damaged the high dollar part. We’ll have to wait to see if Kyedae or TenZ give fans an update.

TEKKEN responds after viral UFC KO leads to fighting game comparisons UFC/TekkenThe official TEKKEN Twitter account has responded after fighting game fans started comparing a legendary UFC KO that went viral over the weekend to a move from the franchise. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] On Saturday, October 10, UFC Middleweight sensation Joaquin Buckley scored one of the most outrageous knockouts in history against his opponent, Impa Kasanganay. During the second round of the fight, Kasanganay caught Buckley’s foot as he attempted a body kick. However, the fighter was quick to improvise and turned his precarious position to his advantage by firing off a 360-degree spin kick to his adversary’s jaw, resulting in a brilliant KO. The knockout went viral both in and out of the MMA world, with many folks commenting on the extraordinary feat – one group in particular being fighting game fans. https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1315066583962849283 In a tweet by user ‘high_light,’ a video of the knockout plays, and is then followed by a clip of TEKKEN’s Lee Chaolan performing the Mist Trap Throw. “Buckley landed literal TEKKEN sh*t last night,” the account captioned the video. After the video got some attention on Twitter, even the official TEKKEN account took note and quote-tweeted the video with its own amusing caption. “*clears throat* 𝙆.𝙊,” they said, further spreading the already-viral moment. The Mist Trap Throw has proven to be a difficult move to perform in-game, with many fighting game blogs and videos providing tutorials for players. However, thanks to the UFC, both the move and Lee Chaolan may be getting a bit of a boost in popularity. The only thing crazier would be a UFC fighter literally pulling off a Hadouken from Street Fighter in the octagon. Nonetheless, we can’t wait to see what other crazy moves Joaquin Buckley has in his arsenal, and if he can bring them to the table the next time he squares off against an opponent.

Tensions flare between xQc, Summit1g and more during Among Us stream Twitch: Summit1g / YouTube: xQcOWThe atmosphere was decidedly tense throughout a multi-creator Among Us stream, with xQc slamming some high profile streamers for perpetuating toxicity in their chats, and Summit1g and 5up each getting equally as frustrated with xQc in return. While the 2018 space-themed party game Among Us has experienced a sudden surge in popularity, it certainly has the potential to start some conflict between friends and strangers alike. The game sees a group of up to ten people seeking to find the imposters within their group, whose primary aim is to sabotage the ship, and kill as many players as possible. With each death comes a whole group vote where you must use your keen detective skills to eliminate the danger to the team. The playfully distrustful environment clearly seemed to spark something in several players in the September 25 stream, with Pewdiepie behind some of the roasting. xQc also slammed some huge streamers for their attitude towards hate in their chat. “I think it’s finally time to talk about this. You guys wanna go full drama mode? I’ll go full drama mode,” he said, calling out those who say he “can’t control his chat.” “What happens when I play with some of these guys, or the ‘bigger YouTubers.’ Have you seen their comment section? Not only people being passive-aggressive, sh*tting on me. Absolutely hardcore, saying trash about me.” He goes onto claim that “the people that made those videos, including Toast, go and like the comments, favorite them, and reply, bantering it. How is that not as bad? They’re the bigger YouTubers, they have millions of viewers, millions.” But the drama didn’t end there. Both Summit1g and 5up had something to say of their own about xQc. As the vote for the imposter goes through, Summit began to get frustrated that xQc wasn’t paying attention, saying “xQc your convincing skills are f**king awful I’m asking you and you still can’t convince me. Just please listen. Stop talking.” “Use your f**king ears bro. It’s so f**king painful. And then he wonders why no one votes for his f**king guy.” And to top all of that off, 5up took to the side to share with his viewers his thoughts on the evidently polarizing xQc. “He’s becoming so overbearing, with the amount of power he thinks he has in the game of Among Us,” he explained. “The entire lobby becomes a game where it’s no longer ten streamers coming together and having fun entertaining people. It turns into him controlling a game.” “If he gets it right, he thinks he’s a god, and if people get him out as an imposter, he calls them dogsh*t trash players who got lucky. That’s not good sportsmanship, that’s not the point of playing this game.” All the streamers who took part parted on good terms, and just the tension of the game boiled over somewhat.

Tekashi 6ix9ine claims Jake Paul is on steroids in response to fight challenge Instagram/6ix9ine/JakepaulRapper Daniel Hernandez, better known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, has responded to a boxing challenge made by YouTuber Jake Paul – and while the two may not be stepping into the ring together, the gloves are definitely off. Jake Paul and his brother Logan have taken over the world of boxing by frequently feuding with mixed martial artists and other YouTubers, choosing to settle their beef in the ring. With an undefeated record – including a recent victory over former UFC fighter Ben Askren – Jake is always down for a fight, and issued a challenge to Tekashi 6ix9ine in an Instagram Q&A on May 18. In response to a question about whether he wants to duke it out with 6ix9ine, Paul wrote that he wants to, because “He deserves to get his ass beat, and I want to do it for all the people he’s disrespected.” That said, Jake doesn’t even believe the fight would happen – but if it did, he wouldn’t even break a sweat. “Honestly, [it] would be too easy and a 30-second fight,” he added. “He wouldn’t show up to the ring on the day of the fight, but yes, I would love to knock him out.” 6ix9ine didn’t take Paul’s remarks lying down. In a reply to a screengrab of Paul’s message, the rapper claimed, “I think he’s on steroids like his security guard who passed away.” The comment was quickly spotted and saved by DJ Akademiks, who posted it to his own Instagram account. View this post on Instagram This remark was a reference to Shamir Bolivar, also known as Shadow, who passed away before Paul’s fight with Ben Askren. The YouTuber would later dedicate the fight to Bolivar. Interestingly enough, Bolivar also served as a bodyguard for 6ix9ine and reportedly got involved in a domestic violence situation between the artist and Sara Molina where he “put hands on” Tekashi. So far, The Problem Child has yet to respond to the Brooklyn rapper’s comments – but given how personal they are, it’s looking like this feud is only just beginning.

Teeqo teases “next chapter” following FaZe Clan crypto drama Teeqo YouTubeSuspended FaZe Clan member Teeqo has told his followers that he will announce a decision about his future on Friday 10 September. The veteran streamer had his membership halted by the org on July 2 after he became embroiled in the ‘Save the Kids’ cryptocurrency scandal. Teeqo, along with other members of FaZe, appeared in a video advertising the coin that would “redistribute wealth to both holders and charities.” The video has since been taken down. While Teeqo briefly appeared in the 17-second video, Kay, Teeqo, Jarvis and Nikan were accused of trying to ‘pump and dump’ the coin. This practice occurs when people invest and gain interest in a currency before pulling out their stake to earn a quick return on their initial investment. The fact that Save the Kids has a similar name to the Save the Kids Foundation, a nonprofit organization which leads the battle against child cancer, didn’t go down well with the public. Nor did its logo’s similarity to that of Save the Children. The fallout resulted in three FaZe Clan members Teeqo, Jarvis and Nikan being banned from the organization, but Teeqo maintained his innocence, insisting that he “never worked on [the] coin.” Teeqo has been a member of FaZe Clan since 2011, but it is still unclear whether he will return. FaZe Banks seemingly left the door open to him when he was asked if the banned streamers would be back. “It’s up to them,” he said. Banks said it was his decision to kick Kay, and suspend Jarvis, Teeqo and Nikan following the alleged crypto scam Banks also says “”it’s up to them”” if they come back to FaZe or not 🤔 pic.twitter.com/6KX7kFiC5D — Dexerto (@Dexerto) July 5, 2021 We’ll see if Teeqo will rep the Red-and-Black again when he makes his announcement on Friday, but it appears a FaZe Clan video on September 2 teased his appearance, one that seems to all but guarantee that he’ll be involved in at least one more production from the org. However, the 27-year-old wasn’t giving anything away in his statement. “Big announcement this Friday!!!,” Teeqo said on Twitter. “All I can really ask is that, whatever my decision is moving forward, whatever the next chapter is, wherever I may end up… that you understand and support me no matter what.” Big announcement this Friday!!! All I can really ask is that, whatever my decision is moving forward, whatever the next chapter is, wherever I may end up… that you understand & support me no matter what.Love to all 💙 – Teeqo— Teeqo (@Teeqo) September 8, 2021 Though we have to wait and see if the Swedish YouTuber will FaZeUp in his return, there’s bound to be plenty of interest from other brands should he be on the market. With about 1.5 million followers on Twitter and nearly 3 million subscribers on YouTube, he has loads of fans eagerly anticipating his return.

Teeqo & Nikan intervene during FaZe Rain’s concerning Instagram Live YouTube: Nordan ShatFans and friends of Nordan Shat, better known as FaZe Clan’s FaZe Rain, have been growing increasingly concerned for the YouTube star’s health in recent weeks, following his openness about drug use, depression and suicidal thoughts. Rain became one of if not the biggest star in FaZe Clan through the years, but has appeared to have an on/off relationship with both the organization and his content for several years now. In an Instagram story posted in the early hours of June 29, Rain spoke about his struggle with drug addiction and battles with depression, issues with his family, and feelings of betrayal that he has harbored from both them and his FaZe Clan brethren. This comes barely a month after he was initially kicked out of the FaZe House, following which he lashed out at FaZe Clan, with co-owner Ricky ‘Banks’ Banks stating that he refused help or to be sent to a rehabilitation center to help him with his issues. Just 24 hours after his first Instagram livestream, Rain went live on the platform again, with the content throughout prompting FaZe members to intervene. After showing viewers some of the drugs and medication he was using at the time, fellow FaZe creators Jakob ‘Teeqo’ Swärden and Nikan ‘Nikan’ Nadim could be heard in the background of the broadcast. Teeqo & Nikan intervene Obviously, having seen what was occurring after Rain went live, Teeqo and Nikan rushed to Rain’s aid, interrupting the broadcast in an attempt to put an end to the concerning situation. Though at first Rain tried to resist and force them out of his home, the pair refused back down, and told Rain not to “show drugs to kids” before advising him to “get the f**k off [Instagram] Live.” This comes after a number of concerning tweets from Rain, including one that said he’s feeling “100x more pain” than when he tried to commit suicide in 2018. When I tried to commit suicide in 2018 and I got locked up I thought my life couple never get anyworrse. This is 100x more pain — FAZE RAIN (@FaZe_Rain) June 30, 2020 Fans & stars reach out to Rain Having seen what is occurring in Rain’s life right now, a number of stars from across different industries reached out to offer help. NBA legend and former Echo Fox owner Rick Fox reached out saying he can come to see him or call him, adding that Rain doesn’t “have to be alone right now.” Yo @FaZe_Rain don’t know where you are right now – if you are in LA I’ll come to you ASAP and we can talk – if you aren’t I can call you and just listen ! You don’t have to be alone right now. — Rick Fox (@RickFox) July 1, 2020 He has also been getting a steady stream of support from online personalities, including 100 Thieves’ Classify who simply told Rain that he is “loved,” and YouTube news reporter Scarce who told Rain that he has “been an inspiration for a lot of us.” @faze_rain bro just know that the guys are there to help you, you’ve got good people around you right now. You can pull through this, we all know you can. You’ve been an inspiration for a lot of us and it’s hard to see you like this, please let them help — Scarce (@JohnScarce) July 1, 2020 Rain speaks out Just a couple of short hours after the incident, FaZe Rain took to Twitter to make a statement, saying that he’s “done” with drugs. He followed up not long after, with another tweet saying that once he’s clean, fans will see “one of the hardest working people on Earth.” ONCE I GET MY APARTMENT AND IM CLEAN, YOU WILL SEE ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING PEOPLE ON EARTH. FUCK DRUGS. — FAZE RAIN (@FaZe_Rain) July 1, 2020 Fans of the content creator and the wider online community will now hope that Rain gets the help he needs and this doesn’t escalate any further, as millions watch on in the hopes that everything turns out okay. 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) or the Samaritans 116-123 (UK).

Teeqo breaks silence after FaZe Clan suspension for crypto scam: “I never worked on this coin” Teeqo YouTubeTeeqo revealed more about his side of the ‘Save the Kids’ “pump and dump” drama that got him suspended from FaZe Clan alongside Jarvis and Nikan (while Kay was outright removed from the org). As the episode with the ‘Save the Kids’ crypto allegations unfolded, Teeqo was in Sweden spending time with loved ones and expressed frustrations of how the situation embroiled him without his side of the story. “I feel like I never got treated as an individual who made his own decision. I just got lumped up with everything else,” Teeqo said. “I haven’t even got to say anything. You haven’t even heard my story.” He revealed his uncertainty of continuing with content creation, but the situation had reached a point where he couldn’t avoid touching on it. Teeqo maintained that he never invested in the crypto with the intention of pulling out, and explained where he stood as the ‘Save the Kids’ coin launched. “I even got hate for deleting my tweets,” Teeqo said. “The only reason I deleted the tweets, literally within 15-20 mins of the coin being up, was because I didn’t want people to buy in and potentially lose money. “Clearly [the coin] was crashing. I was watching the chart when it went live, bought in more once it was live, and it crashed in front of my f**kin’ eyes. And I shut my laptop.” The Swedish YouTuber also said he never worked on the coin in its inception and was drawn into the endeavor for its charitable aspect. He tied his name and face to the coin through promotion, and got hit with the consequences once it came to a head. “If I had any intentions to even take my own f**king money out, I would have done it,” Teeqo explained. “I could have probably saved a majority of my own investments even a week after… I lost my whole f**king life over this.” There’s a realistic possibility of jail time for anyone who attempted charity fraud over the ‘Save the Kids’ coin, according to lawyers. Teeqo maintains that that was not what he signed up for. Teeqo is still suspended from FaZe Clan in the fallout of the ‘pump and dump’ accusations, as most of the influencers involved have yet to speak on the matter. “I’ve been in FaZe for a decade,” he said. “I’m not saying I’m their biggest member, I’m not saying I’m the best member, I’m not saying I’ve done the most. But I’ve always f**king done right. “Yes I should have never been a part of this. Yes, it was a mistake. Yes, that’s on me, I’m not denying that. But I didn’t f**king do it. I didn’t f**king do it.”

Teeqo lashes out at “disrespectful” FaZe Clan owners for neglecting veteran creators Instagram: teeqoLongstanding FaZe Clan member Jakob ‘Teeqo’ Swaerden has lashed out at the organization in a heated rant, claiming the team’s owners never “gave two f***s” about him, while they allegedly prioritize paying new members. Just weeks after Nordan ‘FaZe Rain’ Shat went on record to ‘expose’ the organization of its alleged wrongdoings, another veteran of the popular group has now joined the ranks. Teeqo released a scathing video of his own on March 12, criticizing FaZe Clan and its owners for supposedly failing to show him any support. “How are you gonna be leaders, and you can’t even take care of your members that have been in for 12 f***ing years?” Teeqo questioned to start the intense tirade. Namely, the content creator that’s been part of FaZe for more than a decade took issue with “fake promises” while newer members supposedly got paid more than he ever did. “Someone else can come in as late as last year, who’s not from this industry, never lifted a finger for FaZe, probably didn’t even know what FaZe was, and get three times the amount of shares that I have, and an annual salary that’s more money than I’ve ever been paid by FaZe,” he said. In one particular example highlighting his efforts in the org, Teeqo claimed he put up $100,000 of his own money to help secure a CSGO roster. While he was eventually reimbursed, he claimed this degree of support was never reciprocated to any degree as the team’s owners seemingly never saw him as more than a lower-rung content creator. “I’ve never claimed to be on Apex, Banks, Temperrr, Rain’s level. I never claimed to be them, I never claimed to be an owner, any of that. I know my place and they’ve made it very sure I know.” Throughout his time with FaZe, Teeqo also alleged he only ever signed one contract over his 12-year stint. That contract supposedly being the very same as Tfue’s “oppressive” agreement that saw the ex-Fortnite star take the organization to court. “I’ve been in this grey zone,” Teeqo continued. “No new deal, no new contract, nothing. I’m not getting paid for anything, I’m just in the middle. “It’s such a f***ing privilege to be in FaZe, I’m so fortunate to be in FaZe,” he added sarcastically. Requesting a decision one way or the other, Teeqo demanded FaZe Clan make a public statement to address his status in the organization. “If I’m not in anymore, please make it clear,” he said. “Holy f*** it’s disrespectful.” At the time of writing, Teeqo is still listed as an ongoing member of FaZe Clan on the team’s official website.

Teeqo announces return to FaZe Clan after suspension: “I’m back, baby” YouTube/FaZe TeeqoAfter being suspended from FaZe Clan following the ‘Save the Kids’ crypto drama, Teeqo has officially announced his return to the organization. Since FaZe Clan dropped Kay and suspended three others, including Teeqo, due to drama involving the ‘Save the Kids’ charity token, Teeqo broke his silence regarding his involvement. After announcing that he was going to release his decision about his future earlier in the week as well as having a feature in a prior vlog post, the internet started to rumble. FaZe Teeqo returns First announcing it on Instagram, FaZe Teeqo posted a simple photo with the caption “I’m back.” View this post on Instagram FaZe Teeqo has mentioned on social media over the last few months that his main goal was to re-join the org as he has been in FaZe for 10 years and “wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else.” Talking about his return on stream, Teeqo stated. “I’ve been doing this for ten years. This is who I’ve done everything with. This is who I want to continue doing things with. I’m back baby. FaZe Teeqo is back.” With a YouTube video titled “He’s back in FaZe Clan,” the org welcomed the Swedish content creator back. The video shared by FaZe welcomes their longtime member back into the organization, but doesn’t reveal any details about the other members who were similarly punished when the crypto drama emerged. Now that Teeqo has been welcomed back into the org with open arms, fans are sure to wonder if there will be any upcoming announcements about Jarvis, Nikan, and even Kay in the near future.

Teens arrested after crashing stolen car on highway for TikTok challenge in must-see video YouTube: FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. PaulFour teenagers who crashed a stolen car have been arrested after taking part in TikTok’s viral ‘Kia Challenge.’ Footage captured by traffic cameras, shows a stolen Kia smashing into a median, after the driver attempted to avoid police stop sticks. After crashing the car, a group of four teenagers aged 14-17 are seen jumping out of the smoking vehicle to take off running on a Minnesota highway. The teens dodged traffic to get to the other side of the road, but they didn’t make it far as troopers were waiting for them. All four of them were arrested, and two were taken to the hospital for minor injuries. Police are now saying that the teenagers stole the car, in response to a viral TikTok video from the “Kia Boys,” which shows watchers how to steal Kia vehicles by using a USB cable. Since the viral video was posted, it quickly became a trend on the app, with many attempting to do the ‘Kia challenge.‘ The rise of the ‘Kia challenge’ Many users have hopped on the trend, and are now attempting to steal themselves their own Kia vehicle, even going as far as to upload their thefts on TikTok. Last month, a woman fell victim to the challenge, after her Kia was destroyed. She told FOX59 that her many of her valuables were stolen, including a wallet that had her and her children’s medical cards with their full names and date of births. And just last week, another woman discovered that her was car stolen, as she was ready to leave for work. After learning of the ‘Kia Challenge,’ she now believes she’s a victim of the viral trend. Per Fox 29 Philadelphia, the automaker is familiar with the rash of thefts, and have issued a statement. Meanwhile, TikTok says it has already taken down many of the videos showing car thefts.

Teenager arrested for Twitter Bitcoin scam targeting Elon Musk & Mr Beast Pixabay / Twitter[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]The culprit behind a massive Twitter hack on July 15 may have been caught, as a 17-year-old Florida male has been arrested and met with 30 felony charges by the FBI, who have accused him of being the “mastermind” behind the scheme. UPDATE 1:45 PM PST – As reported by Fox Business, four individuals have been arrested for their involvement in the scheme, three of which are also teens. 19-year-old UK citizen Mason Sheppard was charged with “conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and the intentional access of a protected computer” by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California, while 22-year-old Nima Fazeli was charged for aiding and abetting the intentional access of a protected computer. The third member of the crew is reported to be a juvenile, whose name has not yet been released. The morning of July 31, a 17-year-old based in Tampa Florida was placed under arrest by the US Secret Service, FBI, and IRS following a massive Twitter hack that compromised the accounts of numerous high-profile users. Graham Clark has been met with 30 felony charges, including hacking, identity theft, organized fraud, and communications fraud — all in connection with the historic hack. The hacker in question infiltrated the verified accounts of names like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, former US President Barack Obama, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and even YouTube star Mr Beast, as well as companies like Uber and Apple. That’s not all; each account posted the same message, asking users to send a $1,000 amount to their Bitcoin account with the promise of sending them back double the amount in a false show of charity. The hackers managed to amass over $100,000 before the scheme was shut down — and now, it looks like the perpetrator has finally been caught. While the hacker behind the scam is 17, he will be tried as an adult in Florida, which allows “greater flexibility to charge a minor as an adult” as a result of the financial fraud, as told by a press conference covering the arrest. Cleverly calling the scam a ‘Bit-Con,’ Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren said the hack “was designed to steal money from regular Americans all over the country, including right here in Florida. This massive fraud was orchestrated right here in our backyard, and we will not stand for that.” As for how the hacker managed to pull off the jaw-dropping plot, Twitter claimed that they duped employees at the company into handing over administrative login credentials via phone.

Teenager reportedly shot and killed while filming TikTok dance video FreepikAccording to ABC News, a Colorado teenager was shot while filming a TikTok video. Their name has not been disclosed, and evidence points toward manslaughter at this stage. Two minors and an adult face charges after a teenager was reportedly shot and killed earlier in August, according to ABC News. Three minors were filming a TikTok dance video in Monte Vista, a southern city in Colorado. The TikTok film session was interrupted when one of them was allegedly shot by a Glock 19 pistol. ABC reports it was one of the fellow minors holding the gun at the time. A live round struck their teenage friend in the head, resulting in a sudden death. Emiliano Vargas, the adult reportedly in question, is being charged with providing a minor with a firearm. 21-year-old Vargas claimed to have not been on the site of the scene. The police document states the gun was kept unlocked and visible on the shelf. The other two minors are being arrested for reckless manslaughter. This information is all according to ABC news, who sourced it from the Monte Vista Police Department. There’s evidence pointing towards intentional man slaughter, judging from the trajectory of the gunshot wound when inspected by the police. Despite the evidence, one of the minors told the police “it could be on (an) accident.” In order to protect the minors, the names have been kept secret from the public. The TikTok video made prior to the shooting has also not been publicized, and many of the other variables are being kept secret as well. We’ll be sure to update you here as any further details emerge.

Teenage fruit ninja arrested after paying $10 for PlayStation 4 Jakub Kapusnak / sonyA Frenchman has been given a four-month suspended prison sentence for his ballsy move of pricing a PlayStation 4 at less than €10 euros and walking away with it from a store. If you’re able to find a PlayStation 4 at a highly reduced rate, then you can probably count yourself lucky and think you’ve got a bargain. However, the discount you received probably doesn’t even come to the one picked up in France. The man, named only as Adel, walked into a supermarket in Monbéliard, France, picked up one of the expensive consoles and paid €9.29 (£8.10/$10.65) for it after he used a self-service check-out to say it was actually some fruit. He then used the profits of his scam to purchase a train ticket back to his hometown of Nice. However, before he made the journey home Adel tried the same trick a second time. Before he could pull it off again, he was recognized by store staff, caught and eventually arrested. Read More: Overwatch fan awkwardly buys Dafran’s Atlanta Reign jersey just as he warns viewers not to – The 19-year-old man probably would have gotten away with his scam – at least for a little while – had he not tried to be a sneaky fruit ninja about things and attempt the same thing, at the same store, literally the next day. Despite how profitable and lucrative it may seem, it’s probably best to not try and repeat what Adel did. It’s all well and good trying to price up PlayStation 4 at the same cost as a few strawberries until you’re jammed up in prison for the next few months and miss the releases of some hot, new games like Anthem and The Division 2.

According to an exclusive from Deadline, the rights to adapt Wang’s short film was a close battle, one that saw four major studios battle it out. However, TriStar recently closed the deal, with Wang set to adapt his short for the big screen as writer and director, with Darren Aronofsky‘s Protozoa Pictures set to produce. The official synopsis for the short film reads as the following: “A graduating high schooler navigates a world of seemingly inevitable chaos by finding order in the number 7.” The full short can be viewed on Wang’s YouTube account or down below. While an achievement in itself, Wang’s new title as the youngest director to be signed by a major film studio is just one of many groundbreaking accomplishments for the budding Hollywood star. Wang is an 11-time national chess champion and currently studies at Harvard, one of the most prestigious schools in the world. Wang’s other short films include projects such as Faces, Eve, and Mute. At the time of writing, there are no actors attached to the feature film adaptation or any indication of when the project will be released.

Teen warns TikTok users against ‘skull breaker’ challenge after breaking neck Unsplash: Solen FeyissaA teenager has warned TikTok users against attempting the viral ‘skull breaker’ challenge or other similar trends, after she broke her neck attempting it. TikTok is home to a huge array of different trends and challenges that have dominated For You Pages across the world, with new ones popping up every day. Although many of these challenges are harmless, there have been a number of them that have had potentially dangerous consequences. Now, 18-year-old Sarah Platt is warning people against trying the viral ‘skull breaker’ challenge and similar trends, after she broke her neck attempting it two years ago. The ‘skull breaker’ challenge, which was particularly popular in 2020, involves two people kicking the legs out of a third person from underneath them as they jump, causing them to fall backwards on the floor. Sarah told The Mirror that after attempting the challenge, she was rushed to the hospital on a spinal board with no feeling in her right leg. At the hospital, she found out that she had broken three bones in her neck and her T5 vertebrae. “It was just a trend that was around at the time,” Sarah explained. “We thought making the TikTok would be fun and funny but I didn’t really want to take part because I just didn’t want to get hurt. But it was a little bit of peer pressure.” Two years later, she still experiences complications as a result of the incident in the form of postural tachycardia syndrome, which can cause her to faint. Warning others against trying similar challenges, Sarah added: “I want to try and make people more aware not to do it, because it could end in someone getting hurt.” Attempting to search the skull breaker challenge on TikTok now leads users to an information page about harmful internet challenges and trends.

Teen wrestler fakes handshake and sucker punches opponent in disturbing viral video TwitterA youth wrestler is going viral for all the wrong reasons after he attacked his opponent after losing a match in a disturbing act of unsportsmanlike behavior. Police have launched an investigation after a high school wrestling match between Maine West’s Hafid Alicea and Cooper Corder of SPAR Wrestling Academy that turned ugly. Alicea lost the lopsided match 14-2 and when the referee asked the two to shake hands after the bout, the wrestling began to look more like WWE than actual real wrestling. In a viral clip of the incident, Alicea faked shaking Corder’s hand and instead smashed him in the face hard, much to the shock of everyone in attendance. Wrestler breaks rival’s nose after faking handshake Right after the punch, the referee escorted Alicea away while adults rushed to care for Corder who was hit so hard he fell to the floor. The disastrous end to the April 8 Beat The Streets tournament resulted in Corder suffering a broken nose, but luckily, he’s already back to training according to TMZ. “He is making the best of the situation and is already back to training,” SPAR Academy founder Justin Pearch told TMZ. “As you may know, wrestling matches can get heated but nothing leading up to the punch would give cause to such bad decision-making on the opponent’s part.” A spokesperson for Oak Park Police says that the parents of both wrestlers are cooperating with the investigation. Since being posted to social media, the smack has been viewed over 500,000 times so far with many calling for charges to be filed against the teen. This isn’t the first sport’s fight to make waves recently. Just this month, a charity hockey game between the NYPD and New York firefighters ended in multiple fights and cops being KO’d on the ice.

Teen TikTok star blasted for claiming influencing is harder than 9-5 job YouTube: DEZ MACHADO[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]16-year-old TikTok sensation Dez Machado is coming under fire after claiming her career as an influencer is harder than working a 9-5 in a response to angry fans — and now, they’re even more upset. What may have seemed like an impossible dream a decade ago is now a reality for many social media stars, with YouTubers, Twitch streamers, TikTokers, and more raking in a nice bit of cash for creating content online. Of course, their job requires more than merely making videos; influencers are also responsible for various other tasks, such as regularly posting on social networks, paying attention to statistics and more — but this sudden boom in influencers is sparking some criticism from internet users. It’s not uncommon for stars to catch flak from commenters online, who take fault with them for making what seems to be a nice chunk of change for doing dances on TikTok — and one influencer had enough of the criticism. https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7ZgWIgdVP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Dez Machado, a 16-year-old TikToker with over 1 million followers on the app, hit back at an angry viewer by appearing to say that her job as an entertainer is more difficult than working a 9-5. “Damn, working a Jack in the Box is harder than entertaining one million people?” she wrote. “I ain’t know, my bad foo.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAKGdzHrhX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link However, Machado went on to admit that she’d gotten “lucky” by being able to make money “easily” — but she isn’t offended by those taking issue with her earnings. “If you’re making money easily you’re always going to get hated on,” she continued in a separate reply. “Like me, for example. I make money easily (kinda) because I didn’t have to do any schooling or follow the social norms to make money! And that’s okay, I know my job is easy but I’m not offended. Yup, I got lucky, I’m sorry.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAPEg7HijJ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link The TikToker has been met with a wave of backlash from critics, some who are accusing her of “job shaming” the average worker; but she isn’t the only influencer whose been put under the microscope for such comments. Smash pro and Twitch streamer ‘Leffen’ received pushback over a similar statement in September, after arguing that streaming is harder than “minimum wage jobs.” I fucking sold my body and soul to make that money lmao, you think you have to love and respect every shitty job you do for money? I’d rather flip burgers at mcdonalds if it paid the same amount. — TSM Leffen (@TSM_Leffen) September 27, 2020 Needless to say, it comes as little surprise that such comments are inflammatory in the eyes of most people; but it does raise an interesting conversation as to the specifics of working as an influencer vs working eight hours a day at an “average” job.

The tumors had grown rapidly and her spine had 75% collapsed, and she then entered hospice care and never got back up from her bed. “The first couple of days following her entering hospice care, I was in shock. I didn’t believe that my mom was going to die when I was only 18,” Ryan wrote.

TikTok divided over ‘lazy’ dinner for kids TikTok users in the comments were divided over the mom’s meal plan for her kids, with some criticizing her for feeding them “junk food” at a young age. “Your toddlers are not 19 years old, why you let them eat and drink like that?” one person questioned. “Feeding your child low high-calorie junk food is child abuse,” another said. “What kind of meal is that,” a third wrote. However, the majority of viewers applauded Alexis for trying her best. “Absolutely amazing! I was a teen mom too.

Teen explains the “creepy” reason she’s afraid of Michael Jackson after TikTok goes viral TikTok: Mace_mA TikTok user’s video of her sister crying at the sight of a Michael Jackson impersonator has gone viral, and now the girl has explained her phobia. Over the last 60+ years, Michael Jackson has been considered one of the most popular pop stars thanks to hits like Billie Jean, Beat It, and Smooth Criminal. Since his death in 2009, various fans of Jackson have become impersonators. This involves dressing up in clothes like he wore, as well as dancing and singing his songs. The existence of these impersonators hasn’t helped Ruby Marriott with her phobia of the pop star, as she learned during a family trip to Ayia Napa, Cyrus. Teen explains on TikTok why she is afraid of Michael Jackson On August 23, 2022, TikToker mace_m posted a video of her sister crying while at a bar right behind where a Michael Jackson impersonator was performing. At the time of writing, the video has been viewed over 11 million times and has been liked nearly two million times (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) Now, thanks to an interview with WalesOnline, Ruby has explained the source of her Michael Jackson phobia. She said: “It all started when I was about five years old. My sister and my cousin used to show me creepy edited videos of him that people made and conspiracy theories that he’s alive, like photos of him in the background of photos and in people’s windows.” She also revealed that just playing his music will trigger her fear and that Michael Jackson’s hit song ‘Thriller’ is the worst for her. “If a family member plays his songs, I have to walk out of the room. The fear started getting worse when we went on a family holiday to LA and stayed in a house we rented for three weeks,” She added. “There was a door with about eight padlocks on it and one of my family members jokingly said, ‘What if Michael Jackson is hiding in there?’” She seems to be taking her newfound viral status pretty well, as Ruby can be found in the comments of her own video joking about the situation.

Teen boy pulls knife on IRL streamer after asking for money Twitch: MystixxA 15-year-old boy pulled a knife on an IRL streamer in Norway after asking the broadcaster for money, leading to a tense altercation that allegedly got the police involved. IRL streams are known for capturing some seriously wild and even terrifying moments in real time as viewers watch from the comfort of their homes. In the past, we’ve covered a slew of frightening incidents that took place during IRL streams. Earlier this year a broadcaster was attacked by an angry man for filming in a park, while another streamer caught a woman’s purse getting snatched by thieves outside a designer store. However, the latest hair-raising situation to take place during an IRL stream saw the cops get involved after a youngster pulled a knife on a streamer in Norway. Twitch streamer threatened by knife-wielding stranger Norwegian Twitch streamer Mystixx was broadcasting outside on September 28 when he was approached by a teen boy wearing a bright red tracksuit. According to viewers, the teen had asked Mystixx for money, to which the streamer allegedly told him to sell his tracksuit for cash. This seemed to anger the youngster, who approached the streamer with a knife while yelling at him over the perceived insult. The streamer warned the teen that he was being recorded, while an accompanying friend of the tracksuit-wearing knife-wielder begged their buddy to calm down. Later clips from the stream appear to show the trio resolving the situation — but viewers claim that police showed up on the scene and have been in contact with the streamer as a result of the ordeal. Norwegian news outlets also report that a teen boy is being investigated after a slew of similar incidents occurred outside Berja Senter, a shopping mall in Kongsberg, Norway. Reports state that law enforcement “got control” of a fifteen-year-old boy who threatened other youths with a knife on Thursday, September 28, but say no one was physically injured. This isn’t the first time an IRL streamer has been threatened with a knife. Back in July, Norwegian streamer Knut was also threatened by a knife-wielding stranger during his trip to Paris for TwitchCon.

Technoblade’s dad launches “One of Us” foundation YouTube: TechnobladeThe “One of Us” foundation keeps the memories and moments of the iconic Minecraft player and streamer Technoblade flowing and growing. Launched by Technoblade’s father, also known as Mr. Technodad, the foundation focuses on helping young people find their voices and follow their dreams without worrying about what others may think. To help those who may not have the resources to follow their dreams, Technoblade’s father and his wife Stacey Street mentor and sponsor the younger generation to get them going on the right path. The pair partnered with the Sarcoma Foundation in order to make this dream a reality, and show no signs of stopping on their quest to give everyone a shot at making their dreams a reality. Changing the landscape of the world as Technoblade did The inspiration behind this foundation is, of course, Alexander aka “Technoblade”, who sadly died back in June of 2022 after being diagnosed with sarcoma. Technoblade was known for his PvP battles while playing Minecraft, and he quickly rose in popularity while streaming and posting videos on YouTube. Even while going through the trials and tribulations that came with his ailment, Alexander took it all in stride and remained the happy and bubbly personality we all came to know and love. Mr. Technodad and Stacey say that since Alex was able to raise so much through his fundraising with his colleagues, they hope to do the same and make the world a better place. Though the One of Us foundation is quite new, having been announced on YouTube on May 31, 2023, they have made huge traction due to the love the gaming community still has for Technoblade and his family. Even during the announcement video, you can see that the smiles and laughs are never far away as Alexander’s family discusses what’s to come for this foundation. The goal of this foundation is to bring love, acceptance, and wholeness to a world that desperately needs it, and the message and hope this foundation brings is nothing short of beautiful.

Teen admits he punched random strangers in park for social media clout YouTube: KHOU 11A teen admitted to punching random strangers in a Texas park to gain fame on social media, saying he “just made a mistake.” Social media is one of the primary ways folks interact with the world these days — but sometimes, it feels like using social apps can be somewhat addicting. In fact, evidence suggests that getting likes and follows on social platforms can activate the “same reward centers in the brain triggered by addictions to chemical compounds.” Going viral on social media can result in international recognition from users all over the world, scoring a person likes, follows, and attention… but not every way that people go about getting this attention is positive. For instance, we’ve covered a slew of ‘pranks’ that have gone sideways here at Dexerto, with influencers hoping to get views by pulling over-the-top practical jokes that have ended in major injuries and even landed them in legal trouble. Now, another user has admitted to harming random strangers in a park to gain likes and attention online. Teen “regrets” punching strangers for social media clout 19-year-old Alford Lewis was filmed running up on at least two strangers in Houston’s Wortham Park, punching them in the head on a walking trail. The videos were shared locally via the Nextdoor app and quickly went viral. The teen says this was part of a stunt to make it big online, claiming that he “shook the man’s hand and gave him a hug” afterwards — a statement that has not been verified. However, Lewis says he regrets the stunt, saying he “made a mistake” and warned others about the dangers of pulling off similar so-called ‘pranks.’ “I just made a mistake, and everybody makes mistakes,” he told local news outlet KHOU 11. “…I really didn’t expect for it to go so left, you know.” “Before you go out and you do anything that you feel is bad, or that could look bad, make sure that people know, or, just don’t do it at all.” According to KHOU 11’s reports, Lewis is now facing charges of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and assault. This is just the latest “prank” to come under fire from netizens after rapper Ice-T’s son was caught cutting off a woman’s hair during a Twitch stream as part of an ill-received practical joke earlier this month.

Technoblade reveals his arm was almost amputated due to cancer treatment Minecraft/TechnobladeMinecraft star YouTuber Technoblade shared that while battling cancer in his right arm doctors presented him the option to completely amputate it. Though, he managed to avoid that. Back in August, Technoblade announced that the reason he hadn’t been active on YouTube was due to a cancer diagnosis in his right arm. Since then, he’s only uploaded a handful of videos but managed to help raise over $300,000 for cancer research during a Minecraft stream. Fellow Minecraft YouTuber and collaborator Dream even donated $20,000 for cancer research as well. Now, after not uploading for nearly a month, Technoblade has returned with an update on his health. Technoblade cancer update The YouTuber uploaded a video on December 23 with the title “I Almost Became An Amputee.” In the video, Techno explained that in early October he was under the impression that doctors were going to have to amputate his right arm. After his doctor performed an embolization on the tumor, things went south and he was told they were going to have to amputate ASAP. In a follow-up meeting with his doctor, Technoblade said he was given two options: 1) A limb-salvage surgery which would save his arm, or 2) a full arm amputation. The doctor explained that both have the same survivability rate, which Techno was confused by. He said about choosing the amputation option: “Why would ANYONE do that?” He was shocked that after believing he was on “death’s doorstep”, he was given a safe option where he would be able to keep his right arm. Techno underwent the limb-salvage surgery, which ended up costing him a chunk of his left leg’s quadricep. The surgery led to what he called “the worst week of my life,” where he couldn’t move his right arm or his left leg. He capped off the video by saying he’s doing well and is happy that his hair is growing back since he’s been off chemotherapy treatments. He also explained that due to his limited use of his right arm that his next video won’t be for a few weeks.

Technoblade fan discovers Easter egg on YouTube honoring late Minecraft creator Alongside the release of a commemorative video from YouTube honoring the late Technoblade, a fan discovered a secret easter egg on the platform as a nod toward the creator. On June 30, 2022, Technoblade would post his last video post-mortem to his YouTube channel. Titled “so long nerds”, the video would deliver the news that Technoblade had passed away due to his ongoing bout with cancer. And on October 28, 2022 – the nine-year anniversary of his channel – YouTube posted a look back on his content over the years. It included highlights from his career including his first video and collab with MrBeast where he dueled Dream. In the midst of emotions, one fan discovered a hidden Easter egg on YouTube that can be found by searching for Technoblade’s content. Technoblade Easter egg found on YouTube User SmpUpToDate posted a tweet of the aster egg on October 28. According to them, YouTube added an autocorrect option when a viewer enters “Technoblade” in the search bar. The search will show his channel and videos like normal, but an additional bit of dialogue will appear as well. “Did you mean: technoblade never dies” will appear, giving a nod to a saying that became popular following his passing. We tested this on PC and Mobile devices and it appeared each time. A look into the comments on SmpUpToDate’s post reveals that viewers are touched by YouTube’s heartfelt gesture. Hopefully, this Easter egg will stick around as a constant reminder that the content creator lives on in his audience, and that Technoblade never dies.

Technoblade raises $323k for charity with Minecraft stream where fans control his fate Technoblade/UnsplashFollowing an unfortunate announcement of his cancer diagnosis, popular Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade has raised $323,000 for cancer research during his charity event stream that allows viewers to take control of the game. On August 27, Minecraft YouTube sensation Technoblade returned to the internet from a hiatus, but the return came with some unfortunate news that he had been diagnosed with cancer, and was currently undergoing chemotherapy. The Minecraft community came together, showing an overwhelming amount of support for the YouTuber, wishing him a speedy recovery. Even content creators like Dream and awesamdude came together to raise money for charity. Feeling well enough, Technoblade has now even hosted his own charity event, of course, with a hilarious twist that allows viewers to take control of the game with donations, raising $323,000 in under four hours. The Minecraft superstar had only one task for the event, beating the game, but it wouldn’t be as easy as it sounds. Donators could redeem various rewards that could either help or sabotage him, and the content made was comical. Donation rewards varied with options of spawning a wither tagged with your name for $2000, all the way to giving the YouTuber a random item that would spawn in his inventory for $15. Of course, the donations weren’t the only twist, as surprise guests continuously joined the stream to hunt him down Technoblade as viewers smashed huge milestones. As milestones were crushed, we saw surprise appearances from other prominent Minecraft creators, such as Philza, Ranboo, Squid Kid, Wilbur, and Skeppy. All in all, in just under four hours, Technoblade destroyed his original goal of raising $250,000, where he in total raised $323,000 for the Sarcoma Foundation of America charity, an organization that focuses on funding research for a specific type of cancer that makes up 15% of childhood cancers. Following the end of the event, the YouTuber ended it off, praising his community for the excellent work in his Discord.

Tech YouTuber shocked after realizing fake account has more subs than he does TikTok: CarterpcsTech focused content creator Carterpcs was left shocked after realizing a YouTube channel that’s “stealing” his videos managed to get more subscribers than he has on his own account. Over the last few years, content creators who have managed to garner a large following have had to deal with people “stealing” their videos and uploading them as a way to make money on YouTube or TikTok. Tech-toker Carterpcs has had to deal with it quite a bit, having found a YouTube channel “stealing” his videos in early 2023. On December 30, Carter was curious how many subscribers said channel had acquired and was left shocked after finding out they are doing better than he is. YouTuber learns fake account has more subs than he does “Remember that YouTube account that was stealing all of my videos?” he asked. “I thought this morning, I wonder how that account is doing nowadays.” Seconds after opening the channel page, Carter was left shocked after realizing the account had 253k subscribers — 20k more than he does on his own account. The advantage that the fake account has is that he’s using the same username as Carter’s TikTok page, while the real account is ‘actuallycarterpcs.’ With over a quarter of a million subs on YouTube, this means that whoever is behind that account has managed to get a 100k subscriber plaque from the company with Carter’s name on it – and is making several thousand dollars a month using the Tech-Tokers content. Carter revealed that he messaged the person behind the account and revealed his intent to file a lawsuit, only to have the user say that there were no grounds to sue him. “He won, he’s better than me man,” the TikToker said.

Team Liquid’s Poach loses verified status on Twitter after getting hacked Twitter / Poach – YouTubeTeam Liquid Fortnite player Jake ‘Poach‘ Brumleve had his Twitter hacked on August 9 and the hackers went as far as changing his name completely, causing him to lose his verification on the platform. Usually, when we see a player’s Twitter hacked, they just plug various social media channels and call it a day. However, the hackers who took over Poach’s Twitter changed his handle to “issaisgayasf” in a reference to Ghost Issa, another Fortnite player. This caused Poach to lose his checkmark and confused a lot of fans in the process. The hackers have been tweeting numerous inflammatory statements to other streamers, such as telling Pokimane to “spread her ass” saying Tfue should’ve won the World Cup over Bugha, and saying Ninja’s mom was “gangbanged.” Luckily for fans, they knew right away it wasn’t Poach saying these things due to the name change. The hackers shared a look at Poach’s tweet impressions for the day, revealing that his tweets have had quite the reach, saying he was “irrelevant” until they hacked him. As for now, it seems like his Twitter is the only part of his social media that has been compromised, which is a small silver lining. Fortnite players having their social media hacked is sadly not out of the ordinary. Shortly after Bugha won the Fortnite World Cup, his Twitter and Twitch were both hacked. Fortunately, he was able to get control of his account back before any major damage was done. It’s important to remind users to always have two-factor authentification enabled on your accounts so even if hackers get their hands on your password, they won’t be able to log in without your phone. We will keep you updated on what happens with Poach’s account moving forward from this.

Team 10 could be undergoing a major reorganization, according to Jake Paul Popular YouTuber Jake Paul posted a Tweet on October 9 that revealed some potentially massive changes for his talent organization, Team 10. The Tweet in question was in response to Twitter user Charnele Gomez, who suggested that Team 10 could use some fresh talent in their ranks following Shane Dawson’s docuseries on Jake Paul. “We need so new, fresh talent on Team 10,” she wrote. “Like start all over, get a beauty guru, dancer, singer, and a storytime type creator, and go full out with promotion and photoshoots and do a full press run to present a new image.” We need So new fresh talent on team ten. Like start all over, get a beauty guru, dancer, singer and a storytime type creator and go full out with promotion and photoshoots and do a full press run to present a new image. Now is the perfect time to do this. — Char (@CharneleJGomez) October 10, 2018 Paul responded to the tweet with a statement that could hint at some major changes for the organization. “Girl, do you know who the CEO of Team 10 is?,” he replied. “He’s an innovator. He’s ahead of the curve. He might be doing this already 😏 Ya never know….😈” Girl. Do you know who the Ceo of Team 10 is? He’s an innovator. He’s ahead of the curve. He’s might be doing this already:smirk: Ya never know….:smiling_imp: — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) October 10, 2018 Currently, Team 10 is comprised of Jake Paul himself and girlfriend Erika Costell, Chad Tepper, Anthony Trujillo, Justin Roberts, Ben Hampton, and the Team dog, Apollo. The Team has also been the subject of massive scrutiny, following Jake’s alleged abuse of ex-girlfriend (and ex-Team 10 member) Alissa Violet, as well as claims of maltreatment from YouTube duo The Martinez Twins. Shane Dawson’s docuseries over Paul has garnered the YouTuber overwhelming sympathy from audiences, and is currently taking a deep dive into his family life and past controversies. Team 10 fans should keep their eyes peeled, as both a major rebranding and new members could be on the way in the near future.

Team 10 responds to claims of kicking transgender women out of house party Lilah Gibney, Twitter / Team 10, YouTubeTalent organization and YouTube group Team 10, owned by social media star Jake Paul, came under fire in late June, after two transgender women accused Paul’s editor of kicking them out of the Team 10 mansion for not being “real girls.” YouTuber Lilah Gibney released a video on June 29 describing the debacle, which included video footage of an argument between Gibney, her friend, Kendall Raindrop, and Paul’s editor, Blaine, who claimed that he was “just being real” when confronted about the matter. “I was told girls were coming,” Blaine can be heard saying, while Gibney challenges his statement in a heated exchange. Team 10 has since released a statement responding to the matter via their Instagram story, announcing that they are orchestrating a full investigation into the issue and claiming that both Jake Paul and Team 10 “have continuously embraced the LGBTQ community.” “We have launched a full, internal investigation into the matter to determine exactly what unfolded and the full context,” the letter reads, “so we can take appropriate steps as a brand and a team to ensure that lessons are learned, accountability is placed, and misunderstandings like this never happen again.” 600 Gibney found Team 10’s statement to be ironic, citing her video evidence as proof of Blaine’s transphobia in response to Team 10’s “investigation.” wait what is there to investigate??? video proof usually is enough babe! i wasn’t welcomed with “open arms” but told you LEAVE. so grossed out & hurt that transphobia is being normalized & not talked about like its a real thing that transgender people deal with DAILY. period. pic.twitter.com/xLcRR7NPwR — lilah (@lilahgibney) July 3, 2019 Jake Paul himself appeared to respond to the backlash via his personal Twitter account on July 1, seeming to hint that Gibney and Kendall were lying about the ordeal. “It’s funny that time after time of ppl trying to cancel me or the ppl around me, that there is ANY weight to it,” Paul wrote. “Since day one all my ‘controversies’ have been cleared and aired out publicly, and they showed nothing but the fact that other parties were lying… Try again! I’ll be beachside.” its funny that time after time of ppl trying 2 cancel me or the ppl around me that there is ANY weight to it… since day 1 all my “”controversies”” have been cleared & aired out publicly & they showed nothing but the fact that other parties were lying.. try again! ill be beachside — END CYBER BULLYING 2019 (@jakepaul) July 2, 2019 Team 10’s manager, Adam Quinn, later accused Gibney of breaking the law by recording a phone call with Blaine without his consent, claiming that he would turn matters over to his legal team in light of her video. 500https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TFDWppEza4 This wouldn’t be the first time an alleged instance of transphobia or homophobia has taken place at the Team 10 mansion, either: makeup artist Cole Carrigan accused YouTuber Cameron Dallas of throwing water on him in a homophobic attack during a house party in early May, inciting outrage across the net due to the scandal. so last night at a party i was outside talking to people minding my own business when @camerondallas decides to comes up to me and throw his water bottle all over me for absolutely no reason other than being a homophobic drunk asshole. i won’t tolerate that shit. pic.twitter.com/SXNNwgCajM — cole (@ColeCarrigann) May 5, 2019 While neither Jake Paul nor Team 10 are strangers to controversy, damning information continues to be released in light of the incident, with Gibney being “grossed out and hurt” by the ordeal as the drama unfolds.

Teacher’s “trip to Mexico” with first grade class amazes millions on TikTok TikTok: sonjawhite_teachA first-grade teacher went above and beyond for her class by taking them on a mock trip to Mexico. From scholastic book fairs to field trips, elementary school is grounds for some of the best memories as a grade student. And if you’re really lucky — a teacher will make an imprint on your life. For one first-grade class, that’s exactly what they have to look forward to, as their teacher took it upon herself to take her entire class on a mock trip to Mexico for Hispanic Heritage Month. Teacher turned her classroom into a Mexican restaurant for Hispanic Heritage Month Sonja White is a first-grade teacher in the Dalles Fort-Worth Metropolitan Area in Texas. However, she’s not your average grade school teacher, as she’s been known to be quite extravagant in her teaching methods. Having already taught her class lessons on interviewing, how to cash a paycheck and handle money, as well as plenty of craft projects, White recently took her entire first-grade class on a mock trip to Mexico. Not only did White take passport photos of her students and laminate their boarding passes, but she also had each student pack a “carry-on” for their fake flight. What’s more, White bought snacks for makeshift airplane snacks for each student. She even had a text overlay on her TikTok video saying, “Flight 555 non-stop to Mexico.” Oh, but the fun doesn’t end there! While the students sat on their assigned airplane seats, White played a video of a plane taking off to add to the effect. Some students even had neck pillows that they brought from home. She also aligned the trip to Mexico with the student’s “payday” where each classmate received $10 to buy a gift for themselves or their loved ones while on their ‘travels.’ To end their trip, the mother of a student made authentic Spanish food for White’s Mexican restaurant she set up in her classroom. As the kids enjoyed rice, enchiladas, and chips & salsa, they smiled ear to ear. Her viral TikTok of the trip to Mexico has already reached three million people and has over 33K comments praising White for her efforts. Those who commented said that teachers like White are ones that students will “always remember.” While others said, “This is so cute, omg. Teaching them these experiences will help them so much.” As well as, “You know what this really is? Life skills! You’re amazing!” White’s trip to Mexico for her class wasn’t for any reason either. She was actually celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. And though the students had to eventually ‘fly’ back home after their mock trip, the happiness on their faces was enough to say that they enjoyed both celebrating and learning at the same time.

Teacher who posts on TikTok gets put on leave after ‘thirst trap’ posts TikTok: xiivn/Unsplash: @solenfeyissaChristian ‘xiivn’ Shearhod revealed that he has been placed on leave from his teaching job after being accused of posting ‘thirst traps’ on TikTok. While some TikTokers upload videos as their full-time job, sometimes creators continue to maintain their ‘offline’ careers to make sure they have a stable source of income — no matter how popular they are on social media. However, if creators make known what their careers are, unfortunately, it opens up the ability for people to call into their job to complain about what they’re uploading to the short-form video platform. ‘Thirst traps’ is one of the types of content that can garner complaints, as they are ‘sexy’ or ‘flirty’ messages posted on social media — like if someone with muscular torso posts a series of shirtless videos. Many users may deem it ‘inappropriate’ for someone that’s in a teaching position, for example. xiivn placed on leave for posting ‘thirst traps’ Christian Shearhod, who goes by the name ‘xiivn’ on TikTok, was one of those creators until June 8, 2022, when he revealed to his 572,000 followers that he has been placed on leave from his teaching job for posting ‘thirst traps.’ On June 8, Shearhod uploaded a video showing him sitting outside of the school’s human resources department with the caption “darn Karens.” It quickly gained traction with his fans, who took to the comments worried about why the teacher was there. (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) Just a few hours later, Christian revealed that he was placed on leave from his teaching job, meaning the TikToker has been given a break from teaching due to the content he uploads. He said: “So most of you know that I’m a teacher and I make these TikToks to have fun, connect with students, and other teachers, promote healthiness and be a good father. Well, some people, no matter what you do, aren’t gonna like you. You can say the truest thing to you like ‘The sky is blue,’ and people are going to call you a liar. “I had some people call into HR and complain. Now, I’m on leave. It sucks because I’m not going to be able to say goodbye to the students I love and care for, but I know they’re awesome and will do great things regardless.” (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load)

Teachers are cracking down on TikTok’s Devious Lick trend with interesting tactics Unsplash: Scott WebbVideos are going viral of schools pleading with students to not participate in the ‘Devious Lick’ trend on TikTok, with some even offering cash rewards to people who report fellow students. TikTok is home to some of the most bizarre trends on the internet, and the latest one to sweep the platform seems to have been causing a fair amount of trouble. The ‘Devious Lick,’ as it is often referred to, involves students taking the weirdest items they possibly can from their school. This has involved things like hand sanitizer dispensers, printers, and even ceiling tiles. Participants then show off their ‘lick’ on TikTok in videos that can get thousands of likes and views. However, on September 15, TikTok officially denounced the trend, and they removed the hashtag altogether, adding: “We’re removing content and redirecting hashtags & search results to our Community Guidelines to discourage such behavior.” We expect our community to create responsibly – online and IRL. We’re removing content and redirecting hashtags & search results to our Community Guidelines to discourage such behavior. Please be kind to your schools & teachers. pic.twitter.com/mIFtsYwFRb — TikTokComms (@TikTokComms) September 15, 2021 They also implored students to “please be kind to your schools & teachers.” In new videos, students have been revealing just how frustrated schools and teachers are getting, and they’re going to great lengths to stop people from participating and tracking down the people that have.

Teacher under fire for giving student ‘birthday spankings’ in viral video NoahGlennCarter/TikTokAn elementary school teacher is under fire after being filmed giving a student a “birthday spanking” on his birthday. But TikTokers argue that she didn’t do anything wrong. A lot of teachers have made news recently – but not in a good way. From one teacher joining OnlyFans due to low salary to another teacher showing a cockroach infestation in their classroom, However, the newest teacher story to gain attention has created a big discussion about what is or isn’t appropriate for teachers to do with their students. A video was spread around TikTok where a teacher was seen with a young elementary school student and soon shocked viewers as she started to give the student his “birthday spanking”. In the video, the teacher is seen with a young student who is holding onto a table. The teacher then uses a big wooden ruler to give the student his “birthday spankings”. However, it’s not as bad as it seems as both the student and the teacher had big smiles on their faces, and it’s obvious that the teacher didn’t put any force into the spanks as they looked more like taps. In North America, the tradition of “birthday spankings” involves the birthday boy or girl receiving the same number of hits as their age plus “one to grow on” during their birthday celebration. Despite the seemingly innocent interaction, people have taken to TikTok to discuss whether or not it was appropriate for the teacher to do the birthday spankings. One person wrote: “On his birthday that’s messed up.” “Ok, dude what the flip,” another person wrote. However, most people saw the innocence and the fun in the tradition and xx the teacher. “This isn’t even bad what,” one user argued. Another person wrote: “Idk the point of bday spanks but old ppl talk about them a lot, i think younger ppl just don’t know the lore.” A third person said: “Bro my old school used to do this for everyone’s birthday.”

Teacher under fire for rapping with students to clean SkeeYee remix TikTok: itsmekhaliav_A TikTok-famous teacher is facing backlash after uploading a video rapping with her students to a clean, educational version of Sexyy Red’s song ‘SkeeYee.’ It’s no secret that it can be difficult to make students excited about learning. After all, what’s fun about equations and the scientific method? Snooze. Boring! However, one hardworking teacher on TikTok has managed to find a seriously unique way to bond with her students and get them hyped about learning — and her name is Miss K. Miss K is a veritable internet icon, boasting over half a million followers on TikTok thanks to her energetic videos that show her and her students rapping along to beats from popular rap songs. But instead of rapping about the usual topics found in many hip hop tracks, Miss K and her students spit bars about the latest subjects they’re learning about in school. TikTok teacher faces backlash for rapping with students to SkeeYee remix Miss K is known across the internet for being one of the coolest teachers out there… but not everyone was impressed by a video she uploaded on September 19. The video in question showed Miss K and her kids rapping along to the beat from Sexyy Red’s popular song ‘SkeeYee,’ which is definitely not an appropriate song for kiddos. However, as previously stated, Miss K’s lyrics are far more wholesome and simply talk about why the kids are excited to learn and be part of her class. It seems that many commenters weren’t happy with her take on the song, though. Although Miss K has since disabled comments on the clip, users took screenshots of a few remarks they saw — one of which said, “This is why there are middle schoolers that genuinely can’t read or write.” It looks like the backlash got so intense that Miss K had to disable her comments, although she’s since uploaded another video rapping with her students to a version of Swag Surfin’ by F.L.Y. to praise from viewers. This isn’t the first time a teacher on TikTok has come under fire, as another educator faced backlash for charging her students to take bathroom breaks back in 2022.

Teacher reportedly fired after dancing on TikTok with students Unsplash / TikTok: heyniaaESL teacher Jania Ashay was fired by her school after staff members labeled her as “unprofessional” for participating in a TikTok dance with two of her students. Replying to another TikToker who got fired because of her content, Jania Ashay recently shared her own story of struggling due to the platform. “This was actually a very traumatizing experience, but I think I am healed enough to go ahead and share,” she began. According to Ashay, she was fired after filming a family-friendly dance on Tiktok with two of her students. Students allegedly aren’t allowed phones during lunch breaks, and the staff felt Ashay displayed unprofessional behavior. The staff first brought the students in, she explained, telling them to discretely delete the TikTok video and not tell Ashay of what went down. Since the students clicked with Ashay, however, they went immediately to her and warned her of what transpired. Soon after, Ashay was called into HR and allegedly fired over the innocuous TikTok. Prior to the incident, Ashay claims to have experienced a certain degree of prejudice in the work environment. “This was a suburb school,” she explained in her viral clip. Ashay then continued providing context surrounding the work environment, honing in on the staff member in charge of hiring and training her. “She had no clue she was tearing me down the way she was tearing me down.” Though Ashay taught ESL, she also grew well acquainted with general education students during her work. Two of these students asked Ashay if they could eat lunch in her room. Ashay responded, “I’m a cool teacher, so of course I’m going to say yes.” The students then supposedly asked the teacher if she wanted to participate in their TikTok. As for the dance, a censored version (to protect minors) is shown in the video below, starting at 0:42. She did not post the dance. The students posted it on their own page. Students apologize for the controversial TikTok The students wrote an apology letter for the now ex-ESL teacher, stating “Miss Phillips, I just wanted to tell you I am sorry. You don’t deserve this, you are one of the kindest and most outgoing teachers I know. “Before you say someone told me to write this, no one did. I just truly feel bad about my actions. This whole situation is mostly my fault because it was my idea to make the video.” Ashay cherished the letter and sentiment but condemned the idea that the incident was the student’s fault. “It’s not your fault. It was inevitable, it had nothing to do with you,” she said. The ex-teacher has rebounded since the incident, learning from it and using the opportunity to become a full-time travel planner. She now travels the world, giving advice to others who hope to do the same.

Teacher in tears after students film TikToks of her in classroom UNSPLASH: MChe LeeA teacher was left in tears after students recorded and posted several TikTok videos of her in the classroom. Meg (StrawberryAcaiT) shared a Twitter thread, saying that she was considering quitting her position as an educator, due to students making videos of her even after she had asked them not to. “Today was such a rough day,” Meg wrote. “My students thought it was appropriate to make several TikTok videos of me. I feel gutted. Education may not be for me. Not sure I’m going back in the am.” She then shared a photo of herself with tears rolling down her cheeks. “I was so miserable at work today- here’s my face as I was trying to leave,” she wrote. Her thread garnered over 614,000 views on social media app, and many users offered advice and encouragement. “I’m so grateful for the support of many of you-I’m debating on turning my resignation on in the am,” Meg tweeted. “If anyone feels compelled, I’d love some lawyer resources also, if you’re in a position to help me financially until I find a new job-I’d be incredibly thankful.” Other Twitter users wrote in support of the educator, and urged her to reconsider quitting. “Retired teacher here,” user judithfuller6 wrote. “Don’t quit while you’re so upset if you haven’t already. Take as many sick days as you can and talk to your family and friends. I’m sure you’re a great teacher. This just isn’t a great school for you.” “Don’t quit,” user AnnOberski wrote. “You’re the kind of person who should be a teacher. Stick out the year, then find another school.” “Don’t make a permanent decision while you’re this upset,” user amy_producer wrote. “Take however many sick days you can and get yourself on a better emotional footing. I believe in you.” At the time of writing, it’s unclear if Meg resigned as a teacher.

Teacher removed from Florida school after arguing with student in viral TikTok TikTok: scobbydooo1/TikTokA teacher has been removed from a school in Florida after they got into an argument with a student and it subsequently went viral on TikTok. While it may have started out as a place for creatives to express themselves and show off their work, TikTok has become a pretty broad church with a wide range of content on the app. The video-sharing platform is now more akin to YouTube, as TikTokers share videos of pretty much everything. Though, there are always some controversial videos that stem from things that happen in schools – as no one will forget the ‘Devious Lick’ trend anytime soon. In the newest bit of school-related controversy, a teacher from a school in Florida has been removed from their post after they got into a serious argument with a student over the pledge of allegiance. School removes teacher after viral TikTok argument with student The TikTok, which has now been viewed over 1.6 million times, was posted by a student from Bradenton High school, showing a male teacher acting furiously towards a student. The student in question apparently remained seated for the pledge of allegiance, which the teacher took offense to. After berating the student for remaining seated, the teacher then changed tack with some xenophobic statements. “I will defend my country to the very end,” the teacher said. “Then go back to where you’re from… where are you from? Mexico, or Guatemala? Where?” The student answered that they were born in the United States, prompting the teacher to then reiterate their question on not standing for the flag. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load According to Insider, the teacher – whose name has not been disclosed – was removed from the school on the day that the incident occurred. “The School District of Manatee County strongly condemns any language or behavior that degrades, humiliates or insults any individuals — most especially the young people, families and community we have the privilege of serving,” a spokesperson for the school district said. The video continues to pick up views on TikTok, though comments are disabled so viewers cannot chime in on it.

Teacher goes viral after revealing name she has trouble pronouncing TikTok: devindennisxoxoA teacher has gone viral on TikTok after revealing a name that she has trouble pronouncing, with many agreeing it’s for good reason. Being a teacher can be tough. From the long hours to the pay, to dealing with kids of all ages and from various backgrounds, it’s far from the easiest line of work. Of course, you get the joy of shaping future generations, and really getting to know and care for your students, which can make the role incredibly rewarding. Dedicated teachers will often remember students just by name, as well as various facts or tidbits about them, showing their care. This can be pretty difficult though, as some students can have difficult names to remember or pronounce. That’s exactly what happened to one teacher, who went viral for sharing a name of a student that they couldn’t pronounce. TikToker devindennisxoxo was asked about trashy baby names and their response truly shocked the internet. Devin explained that they were a teacher, so they would often meet new children with strange and unique names. However, they could easily recall the most interesting name they’d heard. Devin revealed the name ‘La/a,’ and expressed their confusion. “I’ll ask you again, if you know it, no you don’t. How do you think you say that name?” “Okay, so I look at it for a long time, you like I got it. I got it. Leia.” Devin then called La/a’s parents, ready to correctly pronounce their child’s name. Unfortunately, this wasn’t quite the case. “Yeah, it’s Le Dasha. That dash ain’t silent,” the TikToker held for a second. “Because in what world and time has a dash not been silent?” The TikTok is captioned with utter disbelief, with Devin stating “I’m just a dance teacher, what do you want from me?”

Teacher goes viral on TikTok for berating “hard of hearing” student in Zoom class TikTok: salwaabakarA video of a teacher berating a student with hearing issues during a Zoom class has gone viral on TikTok, leaving thousands of viewers sickened and stunned. [jwplayer ZXB9LNVP] It’s hard to predict which videos have the potential to go viral on TikTok. It can be anything from dancing and singing to a hilarious faceplant. However, sometimes it can be something far more serious, like a confrontation between a student and a teacher. Somebody posted a video of a teacher berating a student who described themselves as “hard of hearing.” For those who don’t know, it’s the term used to describe someone who acquired a hearing loss in late childhood or adulthood or has a mild case. However, the teacher didn’t seem to mind or care. Instead, he was more concerned with trying to get her to pay attention to the class. He paid no mind to her circumstances, and it’s left viewers appalled. “Ms. Salazar, I’ve been talking to you. Ms. Salazar,” said the teacher. “I can hear you a little bit,” replied the student. “You can hear me a little bit? Why didn’t you answer all the times I spoke to you then?” said the teacher. “I’m hard of hearing,” she replied.

We’ll set up a live Zoom, and we’re gonna have some real communication at some point in time, okay? Maybe you can have your counselor join us. Okay? Do you hear me?” “Yes,” she replied. “Professor! She’s actually hard of hearing, so her translator goes in a little bit late. She can’t respond right away,” said another student. “She’s not paying attention! She’s not trying. Are you her translator, Abygail?” said the teacher.” “It’s slower on her end because she needs to get it translated, and then it goes to her hearing piece,” said the other student. “Okay, Ms. Salazar. Have your counselor speak with me because you got too much distraction to even understand what’s going on,” said the teacher. “Yes, I do. Because my translator is next to me explaining everything that you’re saying to me,” she replied. “Okay, then maybe just have them teach you the whole class,” said the teacher. “That makes sense to me. I don’t know. I don’t understand it. But I see you laughing and smiling and giggling with somebody else. It doesn’t seem to me like…” “Because I’m in a good mood. Like, why should I be in a bad mood?” she replied. “You shouldn’t be in a bad mood. You should be paying attention to the class,” said the teacher. “Alright, whatever. Have your counselor talk to me.” I am beyond disgusted! Prime example of AUDISM! pic.twitter.com/3yTwLSOr32 — Deaf Hottie🧏🏾♀️🥵 (@bluejay19xx) February 19, 2021 The person who shared the video said they were “beyond disgusted” with how he treated her. But she’s not the only one. Thousands of others agreed, too, and the sentiment on shared on multiple social media platforms. The teacher has been identified as someone who works at Ventura College, who are yet to comment on the situation.

Teacher fired after joking about dropping “milky farts” on students in TikTok videos TikTok: formerlyfatstephen‘formerlyfatstephen,’ a TikTok comedian who was working as a school teacher, joked about dropping “big milky farts” on his students and was subsequently fired from his job due to videos he posted to social media. TikTok‘s rise as a social media platform has spawned its fair share of bizarre stories in the relatively short time since its taken off as the quintessential short-form video platform. However, one teacher who decided to turn his exploits as a teacher into TikTok comedy wound up getting reported to staff at the school he worked for. After getting in trouble with administation, he was fired from his job. This was mostly due to a TikTok in which he joked about “cropdusting” his students with “big milky farts”. TikTok teacher fired over “big milky” fart jokes Stephen, a TikToker, former teacher & stand-up comedian got in trouble with administration at the school he used to teach at due to videos he posted to TikTok. He deleted the original video during the HR investigation from his school, but has since reposted it with the background removed. “I crop dust them all the time.” Stephen claimed. “I save up big, milky, lactose-intolerant farts and I drop bombs silently because I’m an adult and I know my body. And then I just let it stew and go, ‘Oh my god, it stinks over there.’ And then they have to sit with it. And you know what? They can’t fire me because they need me too badly.” Unfortunately for Stephen, that last part would turn out not to be true. He posted a TikTok a week after the original video went live about his milky farts, and he had an additional video joking about his students doing drugs that he also claimed was part of HR’s investigation. According to Stephen, he was served a printed-out transcription of his videos. While this TikTok comedian said this experience taught him that he should be “a little more careful” when it comes to what and where he posts, he also thought it ridiculous that the school board took his videos seriously. This led to Stephen tossing away his ability to cash in on unemployment benefits by explaining the terms of the NDA he could have signed. “If I resign, they give me the benefit of not trying to take away my unemployment benefits. But they also swear me to secrecy, confidentiality, and that I cannot disparage them. All of that, they said they’ll give me $5,000 if I just won’t do those two things.” Stephen claimed. He continued, “And you know what? That just doesn’t feel like that much fun to me. If they want to make the decision to get rid of a good teacher during a teacher shortage, I’m not gonna be the one to do it for them. I didn’t want to quit on my students, I love my students.” Stephen concluded by saying he doesn’t want to take “hush money” and told the board to “f***ing fire me.” TikTok teacher fights back against his school district This led to Stephen speaking before the board of education for his school district, claiming that he was a teacher who had “incredible evaluations from administration, great reputation with students, and who cares deeply about their success,” and that firing him wasn’t the choice of the students. He then went on to talk about how he personally supplied and started a gaming club and a music club, as well as using grant money to build an animation studio with a recording booth. Stephen painted himself as an individual who wanted the best for his students. “The number one thing I taught my students is to ask questions, because I want them to be curious and not compliant, because I want to raise a generation of informed citizens instead of child soldiers.” This led to Stephen questioning why he couldn’t post TikToks joking about his students, saying that he refused to fold to the school district asking him to delete his videos. “I was given two options: Resign or be terminated. Resigning would look better for my future, but it didn’t feel good for my present. Because I don’t want to quit on my students, I never wanted to. But this district doesn’t seem to care about that.” Stephen concluded his speech by directly calling out the school district. “If the students were the priority in this district, then the problematic people I have seen go before me would have been fired instead of me. But we know the truth, and it’s that the priority here isn’t the students. It is silence.” TikTok users in his comments rallied behind him, saying that his speech was fantastic and that he’s “meant for better things.” Stephen is now pursuing stand-up comedy full-time.

Teacher exposes cockroach infestation in middle school classroom on TikTok Unsplash: Ivan Aleksic / Unsplash: Erik KaritsA teacher has exposed the conditions of the middle school she worked at, sparking outrage over a cockroach infestation in her classroom. When sending children to school, there are certain expectations most parents have for the institution to deliver on its duty of care. That generally includes maintaining hygiene and a clean environment — however, not every school is delivering this standard. Now, one teacher has exposed the middle school she was employed at, revealing a cockroach infestation that had taken over her classroom Javone Kereenyaga, who goes by ‘jkereenyaga’ on TikTok, posted a video to the platform with the caption, “THIS is the environment ya’ll kids are in. Roaches in the walls, on the floor, in cabinets, running around the class.” Sure enough, the footage showed cockroaches scattered all around the classroom, Javone adding, “There’s still roach feces and roach carcasses in my desk, cabinets, and the back counter of my classroom.” The school was revealed to be Lakeshore Middle School in Duval. Javone said, “Since they thought they had the right one, I’m gonna show them they had the wrong one… This is the conditions us teachers and y’all kids being. Look at it.” In a follow-up, Javone showed some of the messages she had received from students after the school decided to “let go” of her. Nonetheless, Javone promised, “I will not stop fighting against the injustices of Lake Shore Middle School and the Duval County public schools.” Viewers were outraged over the school’s conditions and Javone’s treatment, one person commenting, “That is absolutely disgusting.” Another suggested, “People call the Jacksonville Health Department and DFS because this is unsafe for Children. They will go after the district.” Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Teacher films music video with students after parents get her fired for rapping Instagram: @drippinghoney_music / YouTube: @DrippinHoneyA Detroit history teacher filmed a music video with her students after school dismissed her following parent complaints about her rap videos. In most cases, people are encouraged to have hobbies outside of the workplace, a passion they can enjoy as a reward for working hard during the day. However, one teacher, Domonique Brown (“Drippin Honey”), lost her job as a history teacher for a school in Detroit after a parent complained about her online rap videos. “Recently, I was forced to leave my position due to me being a Rapper. A single parent’s disapproval led to my dismissal.” Domonique said in an Instagram post. She mentioned that the school offered her a choice, either delete all of her rap content on social media or be dismissed from her job, but she stood her ground and refused to delete her rap videos. I HAVE TO BET ON MYSELF CUZ NOBODY WILL IF I DON’T,” she explained. “My outside life should not be grounds for termination when it does not interfere with my ability to fulfil my responsibilities as a teacher. My dedication, professionalism, and passion for education have always been unwavering, regardless of any personal pursuits I may have.” She gained the support of students who were upset to see her leaving the Detroit school, and together they produced a music video called “DRIPPIN 101“. The music video has garnered massive attention and currently sits at over 50k views, with people clamouring to the comments section to let Dominique know she had their support: “That school just got robbed of their coolest teacher”. The attention Domonique “DrippinHoney” Brown has received after getting fired might just be what she needed to take her rap career to the next level after she went viral on the internet.

Teacher boasts about new job after being fired for texting student 28,000 times Facebook: Dulaina AlmonteA teacher has mocked the Department of Education after getting a new job despite being fired from her last role for texting a student over 28,000 times. Dulaina Almonte was fired from her teaching job at Harry S. Truman High School in The Bronx back in 2020. A report from the Special Commissioner of Investigation found the 33-year-old had behaved inappropriately with the students. It revealed that over the course of 14 months, Almonte had sent 28,075 texts to a 17-year-old girl and 1,900 messages to a boy in twelfth grade, with both students making multiple visits to her home in the Bronx. An investigation was first sparked after Almonte was accused of having been involved with a former student, resulting in the New York City Police Department taking a closer look. Although no arrests were made over the claims, the Special Commissioner of Investigation discovered thousands of late-night and weekend conversations between Almonte and her students. The report concluded Almonte’s “excessive contact and behavior with the students demonstrates that she has no place in the New York City Schools.” However, Almonte has denied all allegations made against her and insisted the report’s findings were “completely false.” Despite being fired from Harry S. Truman High School, she has since found work as a teacher again. “I can’t be guilty if I’m still a teacher,” she told the New York Post. “It’s not a crime, but still got fired, which is honestly why the [Department of Education] can suck a big p****.” Now teaching Spanish at NYC Charter High School for Engineering and Innovation, Almonte boasted about her freedom and mocked the Department of Education, stating, “Still a teacher! Can’t touch me! Still a teacher working elsewhere. Like, you really can’t f****** touch me.” Nonetheless, Almonte has all but removed herself from social media since garnering attention online, making her Instagram and TikTok accounts private.

The middle school teacher can be seen grinning with her thumb up, and she’s captioned the video “COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL” with hashtags like ‘slay’ and ‘slayallday,’ used sarcastically. Many people were divided on the $3,000 salary increase, which led to a debate in the comment section about fair wages. TikTok users divided on teacher’s salary increase Many commenters were less than impressed with Ms. Zak’s salary. One person wrote: “This is why I’m not getting my master’s. Bachelors of Education will have to be enough.” “If teaching was a male-dominated field, the minimum pay for teachers would be at least 80K” a top comment read. “Mine will go from 46,000 to 50,000 with my Masters after 7 YEARS in the profession” a teacher commented, to which Ms. Zak responded “So disappointing!” Other commenters criticized the teacher, with several pinning the blame on her following through with the degree that is notorious for being underpaid. “Surely you knew this ahead of time?” one viewer wrote. “Your choice. Live with the consequences. You could’ve chosen to do something else. ALSO you get a nice pension, insurance, summers off. Not a bad deal” someone else added. In response to the comment above, Ms. Zak said in a follow-up clip, that while she chose to go into the profession, she should be “allowed to advocate for better working conditions and better wages.”

Taylor Swift’s SNL TikTok with Selena Gomez has the internet obsessed Instagram: Selena GomezMusic icon Taylor Swift dropped a brand-new TikTok alongside Selena Gomez and it’s safe to say that the internet is obsessed with the duo. As TikTok has continued to get bigger and bigger, more celebrities have joined in with the fun of lip-syncing songs, busting out dance moves, and even pranking other TikTokers. Back in June, Avril Lavigne joined TikTok and immediately took over social media after teaming up with Tony Hawk for a rendition of her classic hit Sk8er Boi. It wasn’t long after that fellow singer-songwriter Taylor Swift followed in Lavigne’s footsteps and joined TikTok to a similarly warm welcome – racking up millions of followers in hours. She’s kept up her presence ever since, even joining in with trends that fans have started using her songs. As she’s continued to post on TikTok, Swift’s videos have managed to pick up some eye-watering viewing figures but her newest post, where she’s joined by Selena Gomez, might take the cake. Read More: How to Stitch on TikTok – The pair were backstage together for the November 13th edition of Saturday Night Live when they linked up for the post. Miming along to the ‘Oh no, my bestie is a bad b’ sound, Swift and Gomez’s video only lasted a few seconds but that was enough for fans. The post wasn’t even live for nine hours before it hit over 28 million views, with millions of likes and comments also pouring in from fans. “My inner 15-year-old is screaming,” commented one overjoyed fan. “Name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait,” added another.

Taylor’s most popular post has over 33 million views, and this duet is on course to smash that. Though, it’s a long way off being the most popular TikTok of all time.

Teacher baffled by ‘inappropriate’ student stickers from Amazon TIKTOK: mrskelsnelsA teacher has gone viral on TikTok by sharing the ‘inappropriate’ images she found in the student sticker packs she bought from Amazon. The middle school teacher said that she always checks the sticker packs she orders for her students from Amazon, because they often include stickers with adult-themed jokes. In a viral video with over 1.3 million views, Kelsey Nelson (mrskelsnels) explained that she buys these to reward her students. “You’d be shocked at how many are not appropriate for kids at all,” she said. A lot of the stickers included memes with inappropriate captions, such as “That’s what she said,” “Straight outta deez nuts,” and “Duh f*q,” references to nudes and guns, and a photo of Ted Cruz with the caption, “This man ate my son.” “I don’t know if these companies are just sitting around putting in bad ones periodically just to make a fuss or be funny,” Kelsey added. Many TikTok users in the comments didn’t see any issues with the jokes that the middle school teacher deemed controversial. “None of those are bad,” one person said. “What’s wrong with the catch me outside one” another wrote. “I cannot believe you removed the hot dog one,” a third added. “I don’t understand the Dr Phil mermaid why is it bad,” someone else commented. Other teachers shared similar experiences. “I’m a teacher who bought Croc pins and found a green lion smoking a joint! Always go through your prizes!” one wrote. “Literally my fave activity going thru the questionable stickers in those packs,” another said. “As a teacher myself I 100% agree! though I’d just cut off the words on ones like the peach or the ramen ‘noods,’” a third shared.

Taylor Swift’s publicist calls out Deuxmoi for “trauma” caused by marriage rumors Wikimedia Commons, Paolo VTaylor Swift’s long-standing publicist Tree Paine took to Twitter/X to call out gossip rag Deuxmoi over unsubstantiated rumors about a marriage ceremony. Taylor Swift dated actor Joe Alwyn from roughly 2017 until early 2023. Their relationship is well-documented in such songs as “Gorgeous” and her album Lover. But like everything, love fades. In late 2023, Swift rebounded and now dates Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Speculation about a secret “ceremony” between Swift and Alwyn began circulating on November 30 when a popular celebrity Instagram account called Deuxmoi made a Stories post. The account claims a ceremony took place in the UK sometime in either 2020 or 2021. “It was described as a ‘marriage’ by more than one person,” they claimed. Tree Paine puts Deuxmoi on blast for causing “trauma” Taylor Swift’s publicist Tree Paine usually doesn’t address rumors, but this time, she couldn’t stand by quietly. “Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi,” she wrote on Twitter/X. Paine’s words rang loud and clear, as she continued, “There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind. This is an insane thing to post. It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these.” Her message is in response to Deuxmoi’s post that piggybacks off a fan message. “I have no reason to lie, I could give a s*** what she does,” they wrote. “I’m sorry she didn’t tell you guys about it in a song, but just because she doesn’t sing about something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Deuxmoi apologizes to Taylor Swift In a follow-up post, Deuxmoi responded to Paine’s comments, writing, “I make zero dollars from lying. Can publicists say the same?” They added, “Also to relate something that is in reference to something that happened years ago to ‘pain and trauma’ after what just happened seems like a poor choice of words.” “Either way, I apologize to Taylor,” the Deuxmoi concluded. Many speculate that the comments “in reference to” have to deal with the recent death of a fan at one of Swift’s Brazilian concerts. But that has yet to be confirmed. For now, it’s just a rumor.
