NELKBoys’ SteveWillDoIt unbanned from Twitch following 6ix9ine stream SteveWillDoIt/6ix9ineShortly after featuring rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine on his Twitch stream, NELKBoys’ SteveWillDoIt caught a ban from the platform, and now that it’s up details on why he was suspended have started to come out. The NELKBoys have been having one heck of a 2021, from their sold-out Happy Dad seltzer, to schmoozing with some of the biggest celebrities in the world at UFC 264, Kyle Forgeard and SteveWillDoIt seem to be everywhere. But like YouTube did in 2020, Twitch seems to be tiring of SteveWillDoIt’s online antics, as the influencer caught a multi-day ban after having 6ix9ine on his stream on July 14. Why was NELKBoys’ SteveWillDoIt banned from Twitch? Shortly after the stream with 6ix9ine wrapped up, Steve’s channel mysteriously disappeared from Twitch, a sure sign of a ban, but what wasn’t clear to everyone was why he had been suspended. After three days, 10 hours, and then some, his channel was brought back, but some fans still wondered what had caused Twitch to drop the hammer in the first place. Once the ban ended though, some fans who caught the stream said the action by Twitch was probably due to the liberal use of the n-word from 6ix9ine throughout the stream. Talks about his last stream with 6ix9ine saying too many n words — imdavelol (@purpalade) July 17, 2021 Are the NELKBoys turning to Twitch? As we mentioned earlier, NELK makes hardly any money at all from their YouTube channel, despite having one of the biggest followings on the site. Them making a full transition to Twitch though probably isn’t likely, as the group doesn’t seem to rely on videos for income. Instead, they manage to pull in over $70 million a year from merch sales alone, and that’s not even counting their new Happy Dad Seltzer which dropped in early 20201. SteveWillDoIt and Nelk probably could have a lot of success on Twitch, but it’s safe to say they don’t exactly need to be on the site either.

NELK Kyle explains why he didn’t want Bob Menery drama to be public YouTube: FULL SEND/NELKNELK Boys’ Kyle Forgeard revealed that he’d gotten a new level of “hate” from viewers over the drama with Bob Menery, admitting that he did not want to get into a public back-and-forth. The NELK Boys have taken over the YouTube world over the last few years, and have started dominating on the podcast side of things too with their FULL SEND show. It started out as a podcast steered by the original members of the YouTube collective before others were brought on – including Bob Menery. The comedian became a fixture on the podcast until June, when he suddenly disappeared from episodes. Things boiled over into a public falling out on October 2nd, when the comedian hit out at the YouTubers, claiming they owed him a fair bit of money. NELK’s Kyle hit back at those claims, stating that Bob had been paid up in full and dismissed part of the ongoing drama. NELK Kyle reveals hate from Bob Menery drama Though, things haven’t quite died down just yet. During the October 17 episode of the FULL SEND podcast, Forgeard addressed the situation again, admitting that he did not want to have a public slinging match with his former co-host. “That really ate me up for a whole week,” Kyle said. “When Bob posted that TikTok, I was just like dude, what the f**k? That, to me, was something I did not want to do and I did not enjoy doing at all.” The YouTuber added that as a result of his response, he started seeing a new level of hate in comments from viewers. “Just like all the hate that comes in, it’s something that I’ve never really experienced,” he added. “All our comments are like ‘this video sucks, this video is not funny’ but this one was different because it was like personal attacks on me, which I was not used to like ‘you’re a snake, you f**ked your boy’ and then you kind of like believe it for a second, so I had to take a step back,” he continued. Kyle claimed that, despite their drama, nobody had more “love and interest” in seeing Bob succeed than himself. It remains to be seen if the two will ever patch things up, but this is the internet and nothing can really be ruled out – no matter how bad things might get.

YouTubers NELK Boys give update after being held by German police Instagram: NELKBoysYouTube collective The NELK Boys have issued an update on their status after being stopped on their travels to Russia. The NELK Boys, a Canadian creative group, are well known for their YouTube uploads that include daring pranks and top-level production. Their ‘Full Send’ motto means they are going all-in on a video, meaning it can lead to some surprising and shocking outcomes. That was in full display during their long-awaited Spin the Globe challenge, where they found out that they would be going to Russia. However, despite starting their travels, they’ve already run into some problems that could put their adventure in trouble. On August 9, the NELK team revealed that four members had been pulled aside for questioning while in Germany during their journey to Russia. “Kyle, Jesse, 905 and Steve were pulled aside at the security checkpoint while boarding their flight to Russia. Questioning has been going on for over an hour thus far. We are currently in contact with our Visa attorneys hoping to solve this issue immediately,” a statement read on the creative collective’s Twitter. However, the group had not offered fans an update on their situation until a few hours later when they switched to Instagram. Kyle, Jesse, 905 and Steve were pulled aside at the security checkpoint while boarding their flight to Russia. Questioning has been going on for over an hour thus far. We are currently in contact with our Visa attorneys hoping to solve this issue immediately. – NELK MGMT— NELK (@NelkFilmz) August 9, 2019 “Boys, we are all good and free, thank the fucking send gods!” their Instagram story started. Waiting to talk to our lawyer about what we can and can’t say about what happened today trying to board to Russia.” They continued on: “Right now, we are stuck in fucking Germany. Not sure what the next move is but we’ll see what’s good.” 600As of writing, on August 10, the group are still stuck in Frankfurt, Germany, and have not yet traveled to Russia. Of course, regardless of what happens, the NELK boys will be able to put on another epic video for their fans – even if they aren’t able to fully send it.

NELK Boys under fire for two massive meetups after YouTube ban Instagram: nelkboys, ausgod[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]The NELK Boys are known for their wild pranks and massive fan meetups — but these gatherings have come under intense scrutiny amid the current health crisis, and it doesn’t look like they’re stopping anytime soon. For those unaware, the NELK Boys are a wildly popular group of YouTubers best known for their outrageous pranks — as well as their equally outrageous fanbase, which seems to turn up in droves for a chance at hanging out with the squad wherever they travel. While it’s no surprise that these gatherings have warranted police action in the past, this time around, the NELK Boys are facing extreme criticism for drawing crowds due to the ongoing health situation. Because of this, students at Illinois State University face potential fines and suspensions for being involved at a NELK party near the school — but that wasn’t enough to deter the YouTubers, it seems. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1303787630769758209?s=20 NELK is once again facing criticism for holding two massive gatherings in the span of a single day, with the group uploading videos to their Instagram story that showed an enormous throng of fans at two different locations in Jersey Shore. The meetups appear to be to commemorate the launch of their new merchandise, which might be getting them booted out from the house they’re renting in the area, if their Instagram caption is anything to go by. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIsbAfjbuS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Although this is far from the first time the squad has come under fire for their meetups, it does mark a huge statement, as YouTube has also banned the group from their platform in wake of their Illinois State University rager. Claiming they were “creating a large public health risk,” the NELK Boys are now unable to upload footage of their insane meetups to the website, potentially discouraging such behavior (a la Bryce Hall) — but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that they’re interested in doing anything else other than going “Full Send.” With critics across the net flaming the creators for hosting and even seeming to encourage these gatherings in spite of the danger, there’s no telling what will come out of the situation, should they continue their tours.

NELK Boys under fire from fans over plan to recruit first female member Instagram: nelkboysFans of YouTube pranksters NELK Boys are hitting out at the group after they revealed plans to bring in their first-ever female member. The NELK Boys have been around for years, initially as a group of young men that just played pranks on unsuspecting members of the public. Since then, they’ve evolved into a full company worth millions of dollars. While still occasionally doing pranks, their content now focuses more on the wilder sides of their life as they travel across the U.S., partying and generally having a crazy time. Notably, though, they’re still the NELK Boys. There are no women featured as on-camera talent in their YouTube videos or on their podcast — and the fans clearly want it to stay this way. On Tuesday, September 28, NELK uploaded a graphic to their Instagram page with 4.1m followers, detailing instructions for any aspiring women members on how they can be recruited to join NELK. “Adding a NELK girl to the squad,” it said. “Being hot is definitely important but we’re actually looking for a girl who’s f**king funny and can help us pull off epic pranks!” They ask for potential recruits to tag them in a 1-minute Instagram video of why they deserve to be the first NELK girl — but fans aren’t particularly impressed. View this post on Instagram NELK fans backlash While this is clearly something NELK want to do, and could be a huge opportunity for another creator, the response from fans hasn’t been quite so warm, with the Instagram comments alone painting a grim picture. “For the love of God don’t do this,” begs one user, while another describes it as “the downfall of NELK.” Read More: Where to buy NELK Boys Happy Dad Seltzer – Others suggest that “this sh*t is going downhill quick” or that “there’s no way this goes well,” pretty accurately representing the most liked comments on the post. Whether this deters NELK, or even potential recruits, from wanting to go ahead with this, remains to be seen.

NELK Boys trolled Khabib and got Dana White drunk ahead of UFC 254 YouTube: NELKThe NELK Boys were invited to Fight Island in Abu Dhabi ahead of UFC 254 and it didn’t take long before they had trolled Pay Per View headliner Khabib Nurmagomedov along with UFC President Dana White. [jwplayer A9iT5QAh] The NELK Boys are known for their antics so Dana White was well aware of what he was getting into by inviting them to Fight Island. Abu Dhabi served as host to a huge slate of UFC events throughout the course of September and October, closing out the latest stint with UFC 254. The October 24 PPV made waves due to undefeated Nurmagomedov’s shock retirement after his 29th consecutive win. However, the NELK Boys made waves in their own way with a brand-new video. Up to their usual antics, the crew played pranks on each other while mixing it up with UFC fighters. Outside of their shoey with Aussie heavyweight Tai Tuivasa, the NELK Boys trolled The Eagle and even got Dana White drunk. View this post on Instagram In a rare interaction with Khabib prior to what would be his final fight, they pranked him by asking for oddly specific MMA advice. “What is the most important aspect of fighting for any beginner fighter to focus on?” Kyle Forgeard asked. Before Khabib could even answer, the plot thickened. Forgeard joked that the reason behind his interest in MMA is to fight the BMF Champ Jorge Masvidal after he slept with his girlfriend. “How old are you?” Khabib responded, going along with the joke. Realizing that he’s too old to start training, he had another solution in mind. “I think you have to buy [a] dog.” With a dog by his side, that might be Forgeard’s only chance, according to Khabib. Next on the itinerary was to get the UFC President completely wasted. While they downed a few shots at the very beginning of the day, the real party came later that night. “I’ve got weigh-ins at 11 AM tomorrow,” White joked before taking another shot. “Our goal is for Dana to not make it to the weigh-ins,” Forgeard said. Ultimately, that didn’t quite come to fruition but it’s clear they got him rather drunk. “We did like eight or 12 [shots] right in a row.” The weigh-ins went off without a hitch and so too did the PPV event the following day. It was a short-lived trip for the NELK Boys on Fight Island, though it was one that proved all too valuable for some content. This particular video ended with a teaser of what’s to come for the content creating crew too; it appears as though a call with the United States President is in store, courtesy of Dana White.

NELK Boys under fire for “deceiving” Amish man with alcohol & women despite beliefs YouTube: FULLSEND PodcastThe NELK Boys have come under fire for “deceiving” an Amish man that they befriended, flying him to Miami and taking him to a strip club despite it going against his culture and way of life. NELK have always created content that lives somewhat on the edge of YouTube’s guidelines, always pushing boundaries — for better or worse — based predominantly around next-level pranks and partying. In May 2023, they posted content across different channels with an Amish community and, in particular, someone they dubbed ‘Honest Abe,’ who they did a podcast with before a video on May 23, 2023, titled “We Corrupted an Amish Person!” In the video, NELK traveled to an Amish community to spend time with them and get a better idea of their lives and culture, with the plan to then switch positions and bring an Amish person into their world, paying them $10,000 to do so. They took him to Miami and went to an Apple Store, took him to the beach, and reassured him that they didn’t want him doing anything he didn’t want to do, acknowledging that he had a wife so didn’t want to be around girls, for example. At the end, Abe ended up leaving the club and apparently hired a driver to make the 20-hour trip back to his home, blocking all of their numbers in the process. NELK then provided a community update on YouTube, in which someone told them that Abe had confessed to taking an airplane ride, drinking beer, and letting people take videos of him. They confirmed that the community hadn’t shunned Abe, but everybody there was told what happened and let him stay. NELK face backlash for “corrupting” Honest Abe Many in the comments, though, didn’t find the situation as funny or entertaining as the YouTubers might have expected. “Nelk straight up Tricked Abe,” one commenter explained. “Overall L for the Nelk boys on this one only cause you tricked a very genuine guy. Some other pranks you’ve done are similar but very different … However in this situation, if the text is even real, you can see that Abe getting excommunicated was a very real possibility.” Others asked how the YouTubers “thought that video would fly well with most people,” as well as saying that the boys owe Abe a face-to-face apology, among other things. Some also compared it to their treatment of Hasbulla, who they didn’t ask to engage with certain things due to his beliefs. Overall, while many enjoyed the content, a number of viewers felt it was deceptive and that they manipulated Abe’s kindness and trust. At the time of writing, NELK have not responded to the backlash.

NELK Boys stunned by location of ‘Spin the Globe’ challenge Instagram: NELKBoysThe NELK Boys are always up for an adventure, but their latest idea to take part in a ‘Spin the Globe’ challenge has left them regretting doing the idea altogether. The NELK Boys are well known for their crazy YouTube channel, full of pranks with insane production values, and their “Full Send” motto which sees them go all in on any video they upload. Their infectious attitude may have cost them though, as they decided to take part in a challenge that saw them spin a globe while blindfolded, place a finger randomly on the globe, and travel to that country no matter what. To kick off the challenge, the boys first had to get their hands on a globe, and after shopping around to find the perfect one, headed straight to the Veld Music Festival in Toronto, Canada to perform the all important spin. Of course, the NELK Boys don’t do anything by half measures, so they met up with DJ Julian Dzeko to do it live on stage at Veld, in front of 20,000 screaming people – but not before shotgunning some beers with the musician first. With Jesse Sabastiani tasked with choosing the location, 20,000 waited with baited breath as Kyle Forgeard spun the globe, all for Jesse’s finger to land on Russia as their final destination. Unsurprisingly, the lads were not happy with the outcome, with Forgeard storming off stage shouting “Fuck that!”, while Jesse simply repeated “Oh fuck!” over and over again. The NELK Boys couldn’t even get any advice from their lawyer, so instead took to the woods in Canada with some beers and some guns to “prepare for their trip” to Europe’s largest country. The motley crew gave no indication of when they’re going to make the trip to Russia, but they did confirm that a new video would be coming out on Monday, August 12, leaving fans wondering if it will show the boys up to their usual antics in Moscow.

NELK boys trick fans into calling 6ix9ine a “rat” as he’s behind them YouTube: NELK[jwplayer smynPnSq] The NELK Boys might be the most famous pranksters on YouTube, and they’re continually leveling up their content, so much so that now they’ve got rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine appearing in videos to prank fans with them. NELK’s pranks have often found them getting into trouble in some way, shape or form, be it just getting kicked out of stores or even as far as being wanted by police. Their legal troubles don’t stretch quite as far as that of 6ix9ine’s (real name Daniel Hernandez), though, who was sentenced to two years in prison for various charges in a well-publicized trial and subsequent conviction. Thanks to 6ix9ine’s cooperation with the authorities, though, he managed to get out much sooner than was originally expected, and is now able to go about his life fairly normally — albeit, with a huge horde of security guards. With his character coming under question so much in recent years, the NELK Boys decided the time was now perfect to get him on board to prank some fans — producing some hilarious results. NELK’s original duo, Kyle Forgeard and Jesse Sebastiani, took to the streets to pull people over and frame an interview with them where they discuss hip-hop. These discussions would inevitably lead to questions about 6ix9ine, and their opinions on him as a person and as a musician. While some were complimentary about the rapper, some offered less savory opinions of him, with one even being tricked into calling him a “rat” right to his face. Timestamp 14:15 While most of the time it all ended in laughter, the last couple of people they spoke to — two young men from Chicago and Philadelphia — had a more serious chat with the rapper, asking him “why all the problems?” and adding that they “just want to see him alive.” Obviously, some of the unsuspecting fans got away with not being too harsh — but we wouldn’t want to be the ones tricked into calling Tekashi a rat straight to his face.

Nelk Boys’ SteveWillDoIt wipes gambling channel after accusations from Coffeezilla SteveWillDoIt/CoffeezillaYouTuber and Nelk Boys member SteveWillDoIt appears to have removed all videos from his gambling channel following accusations from fellow YouTuber Coffeezilla. On October 6, investigative YouTuber Coffeezilla released a video focused on SteveWillDoIt’s and gambling platform ROOBET. After a Twitter beef sparked Coffeezilla’s interest in how Steve funds his videos, his findings have gone viral, leading to action from Steve. SteveWillDoIt and Coffeezilla Coffeezilla’s video, titled “SteveWillDoIt’s Dark Secret – ROOBET’S HOUSE OF CARDS EP. 1”, made several accusations against SteveWillDoIt and other creators. According to Coffeezilla’s findings, the company apparently has ties to Twitch streamer and YouTuber Adin Ross, who Coffeezilla has had beef with in the past. In recapping his findings Coffeezilla says, “So, SteveWillDoIt is insanely loaded because of this guy whose name is Alfonso, but not actually Alfonso because that’s actually an alias, his name is Alan, and he owns a sketchy giveaway company called Wizza. But also, ROOBET, which is an online casino, which obviously gives us some context as to why Steve has defended ROOBET so hard on Twitter.” Time starts 13:00 for mobile users Coffeezilla wraps up this segment by saying that Steve’s friend Alan is his “golden goose, and where his money is coming from”. Following the release of the video, Steve’s gambling YouTube channel now shows no content. Coffeezilla said, “Trying to hide something?”, about Steve in a tweet showing the channel had been wiped of all of its videos. SteveWillDoIt just deleted all his gambling streams right after the video dropped. whoops. Trying to hide something? pic.twitter.com/fiVNQoYAxr — Coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT) October 6, 2021 Coffeezilla’s video won’t be the last on the subject, though. There will be follow-up videos to continue his investigation, a total of five are planned.

NELK boys stopped by secret service after plans to crash a rally Instagram: nelkboysHugely popular YouTuber collective the NELK boys are in hot water once again, after they were halted by the secret service at the airport following their plans to crash a political rally. The NELK boys are most well known for their outrageous pranks, building a subscriber base of almost 6 million through their crazy antics. Their fiercely loyal fans are never far behind the boys, arriving in hordes wherever their favorite YouTubers go. They haven’t secured their popularity without getting in trouble several times, however. After hosting two huge meetups in one day, as well as a party at Illinois University where students who attended could be fined up to $750, the group were slammed by law enforcement and frustrated social media users. Crashing events is by no means unfamiliar to the boys, as they were kicked out of a rally in September after trolling the attendees, a video that ended up getting over 6 million views and 400,000 likes. However, this time around, on October 10, they weren’t able to get as far as the “Fighters Against Socialism” rally in Florida, getting stopped at Tampa airport by the secret service, after getting wind that they were heading to disrupt another gathering. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1315116191896100871 In a copy of the trespass warning issued to NELK member Salim, the justification for the authorities’ involvement read “subject made posts on social media referring to his intentions to disrupt an event being held at the Tampa convention center.” Yet this didn’t stop the boys from causing chaos in other ways, as hours after the incident they posted videos of a cramped looking party in Tampa, with the caption “it’s getting rowdy in Florida.” Despite the warning, it’s unlikely that the NELK boys will be halting their antics anytime soon, as thus far nothing else has stopped them.

Nelk Boys’ SteveWillDoIt shocks everyone with Addison Rae Instagram caption Instagram, @stevewilldoitThe Nelk Boys are known for outlandish behavior and SteveWillDoIt certainly lived up to that reputation on Instagram this weekend. The YouTuber took a picture with Addison Rae and his caption choice has raised eyebrows. Stephen ‘SteveWillDoIt’ Deleonardis is known for many things and gentlemanly, sophisticated behavior is not among that list. A man respected for drinking, pranking, and generally partying — even he knew this social media content was maybe a little too far. After Steve and Nelk’s Kyle Forgeard took a picture with Addison Rae at the UFC’s Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier fight, SteveWillDoIt decided to caption it with a phrase alluding to… doing it. Steve is known for being unapologetically him, but even he later apologized to Addison for the caption. As for said caption, you can check it out below. View this post on Instagram You may be wondering, why is Steve referencing the Eiffel Tower when this fight was set in Las Vegas, Nevada? Well he wasn’t talking about Paris, France’s globally recognized monument — he was slyly referring to an intimate act between three people. We won’t break down exactly how that intimate act works here, but you can feel free to google it (maybe turn “safe mode” on first, though). The replies include a lot of laughs and a lot of shock, and then some. While Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney said “nah bro” with a laughing emoji, FaZe Adapt dropped a “not like this” with his own laughing emojis. Bryce Hall, Addison’s former boyfriend, didn’t seem offended either — dropping a simple “let’s see the video.” Addison, possibly still busy with her own UFC drama, hasn’t responded yet. But Steve apparently wanted to set the record straight anyway. In an Instagram story, he complimented Addison, apologized for the caption, and said it was “all a joke.” Read more: Where to buy Nelk Boys Happy Dad Seltzer – Guess there won’t be a video after all. Hopefully Bryce isn’t too disappointed.

NELK Boys’ SteveWillDoIt surprises Kyle with super rare $135k Audi RS7 YouTube: SteveWillDoItThe NELK Boys’ might be best known for their crazy party antics, but SteveWillDoIt has been on an insane charitable spree recently, topping it off by buying NELK co-founder Kyle Forgeard an incredibly rare Audi RS7. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Earlier in October, Steve set up a homeless man with a whole new life: a new job, an apartment and $25,000 in the bank, hoping to truly turn his life around. Now, Steve is trying to thank Kyle for bringing him into NELK and giving him the platform to make himself a success, and has done so in one of the most extravagant ways possible. Referring to himself as the “cool Mr Beast,” Steve and the whole NELK team managed to keep the secret of his gift for a month — and it was definitely worth it. After arriving back in Orlando, Florida, Steve tells Kyle that he’s got a “very cool” rental car that he can drive from the airport. Obviously, at first Kyle was confused about what it could be, perhaps a bit cautious. But, when they got outside and Kyle saw his “dream car,” which is currently only one of two of its kind in the US, he assumed Steve had hired the 2021 Audi RS7 for a test drive for him. Instead, after one of the women there congratulated him, it was revealed that Steve had actually paid for the car, in cash and upfront, for Kyle to keep as his own — only his second car since an old Mazda he used to own. It definitely sounds like Steve had to pull some strings to make it happen. He was originally searching for a 2020 Audi RS7, knowing that it was Kyle’s dream car, but the opportunity to pick up a 2021 model arrived and he couldn’t pass it up, paying for the car there and then when it was available. With only two currently in the US, it would be interesting to see who has the other one. It’s almost funny to think that one of them belongs to a YouTube prankster who just likes to make crazy videos for his fans.

NELK Boys’ SteveWillDoIt reveals how he nearly died during “insane” acid trip YouTube: Full Send PodcastNELK Boys’ SteveWillDoIt has opened up about a near-death experience he had while on an acid trip, admitting that his “life flashed before his eyes.” Steve has always been someone that lives life in the fast lane — his alias SteveWillDoIt makes that clear — and his YouTube videos often involve a lot of partying and wild scenes, sometimes referring to himself as “the cool MrBeast.” While he’s someone that takes pride in his alcohol tolerance and enjoys more than his fair share of the fun, it’s not always gone well for him. During a Full Send podcast with the other NELK boys, Steve opened up on how he nearly died during a particularly eventful night. After discussing some of the parties they’ve been to and the weird things they’ve experienced, NELK founder Kyle Forgeard brought up Steve’s past with harder drugs, to which he responded with his particularly haunting story. Read More: Where to buy NELK Boys’ Happy Dad Seltzer – Detailing that he’d once taken what essentially equated to four “servings” of acid, Steve explained that it almost ended in disaster. “I jumped in a river to get away from these chicks, because when you take psychedelic drugs like that, you can’t be around dumb girls.” He continued: “I was swimming, and then I got paralyzed in the water… I couldn’t move, and I was starting to go down, and I was just screaming ‘I don’t want to die.’ I don’t know if it was the acid or this just happens before you die, but I saw my entire life flash before my eyes.” Timestamp 24:30 Adding that he “just kept thinking about” how he was going to be on the news, the moment was clearly one that had a huge impact on Steve. That said, he admitted that his body found a surge of energy to “start working again” and he went straight to the gym, prompting laughs from the rest of the podcast. Needless to say, Steve really has seen and done a lot, but fortunately, he’s still here to share the stories.

NELK Boys’ SteveWillDoIt shocks editor with $15K Rolex gift YouTube/Instagram: SteveWillDoItThe NELK Boys are best known for their pranks and raucous behavior, causing mayhem wherever they go. But newest recruit SteveWillDoIt decided to flip that on its head by giving his editor an insanely expensive gift in the form of a $15,000 Rolex. Most recently, the NELK Boys have made headlines for getting arrested in Mississippi while doing a prank pretending to be Target employees, and it’s not the first time they’ve been arrested over a prank. While the rest of the world is staying indoors, the NELK Boys are continuing their seemingly never-ending tour of America, regularly moving states or driving around to find new pastures, and even pranked popular TikTok stars Bryce Hall and Tayler Holder on their travels. Now, SteveWillDoIt – real name Steve Deleonardis – decided to forego the usual content and do something nice for his editor with this insane gift. Rolex is one of the most prestigious and recognizable watch brands in the world, with even their ‘low-end’ products costing upwards of $5,000. Needless to say, for many a Rolex is a dream accessory, and Steve decided to buy his editor, Alex, his dream watch. At first Alex assumed it was a prank, asking “what do you mean this is for me” and just saying “this is a prank” while opening it. You can see the shock on his face when he opens the case and realizes it’s real, asking Steve “what are you doing, bro?!” (Timestamp 7:44) “You got me a Rolex!” he repeats while his friends make jokes about it being a prank, but the excitement is evident and he’s clearly at a loss for words over the $15,000 gift. They finish the video in true NELK fashion, downing drinks and having a party, but it’s genuinely touching to see how excited Alex gets for the work he puts in, which likely can’t be the easiest job in the world. That said, this is a rare heartwarming video from the NELK camp, so don’t get used to it.

NELK Boys’ SteveWillDoIt discovers he’s on MTV’s CatFish: How to watch YouTube: SteveWillDoIt / MTVYouTube prankster SteveWillDoIt is being featured in an upcoming episode of MTV’s CatFish — but not in the way fans probably expect. If you’ve ever channel-surfed through late night reality TV shows, you’re probably familiar with MTV’s CatFish. The program’s premise is pretty straightforward; with the help of the show’s hosts, dating app users investigate to figure out if the person they’ve been texting is actually the one behind their profile picture. Catfishing is a fairly popular term used to refer to people who use fake photos (perhaps overly-filtered pics, or even stealing someone else’s photos outright) on their dating app profiles. This can lead to some awkward situations when they meet up with their date in-person. MTV’s CatFish has made a pretty decent profit out of this modern phenomenon — and one of its upcoming episodes will feature a major social media star behind one of YouTube’s biggest channels. SteveWillDoIt on CatFish SteveWillDoIt is one of the minds behind the group of infamous internet pranksters known as the NELK Boys, who have racked up an impressive 6.8 million subscribers on their main channel. While they have a penchant for getting into trouble (like that time they got Illinois State University students fined for throwing a party mid-pandemic), they’re also incredibly charitable, with Steve giving away thousands of dollars to fans. (You can catch the episode preview in the Instagram post below.) View this post on Instagram It seems that one dating app user has been pilfering Steve’s online presence for their own gain, as a recent teaser of an upcoming CatFish episode revealed — and Steve was quick to share the preview to his Instagram stories. When to watch SteveWillDoIt CatFish episode Viewers can catch SteveWillDoIt’s CatFish appearance via MTV on August 24. The episode will follow Instagrammer Diamond, who has struck up a one-sided romance with someone pretending to be Steve. When the person behind the profile refuses to meet up, Diamond turns to CatFish’s Nev and Kamie for help. It’s unclear if the actual SteveWillDoIt will feature in the episode to cheer Diamond up — but knowing him, he’ll have a hilarious response to the situation, either way.

NELK Boys’ SteveWillDoIt hands out free PS5s to random strangers YouTube: SteveWillDoItThe NELK Boys might be known for their pranks and shenanigans, but Steve ‘SteveWillDoIt’ Leonardis has been making a name for himself as a more charitable YouTuber — as evidenced when he handed out free PlayStation 5 consoles to unsuspecting strangers. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] In the past few months, we’ve seen Steve constantly trying to help people in need, or give out gifts to friends and strangers alike. He set up a homeless man with a new apartment and job, as well as surprising fellow NELK member Kyle Forgeard with a $135k 2021 Audi RS7. Now, anyone who tried getting the next-gen console when they released will know how difficult it was to get your hands on them, but lucky for some, SteveWillDoIt was on hand. After securing several consoles, the YouTuber took to the streets to give them away, leaving a number of strangers absolutely shocked. Steve got himself five PS5 consoles to give away to random strangers that he found while traversing the streets, with no real criteria behind who he was looking for. Instead, it just happened to be people in the right place at the right time. One fan came out and saw him and, as it was their birthday, Steve decided to hand him a brand new PS5. On top of the birthday boy, Steve also gave away a PS5 to the likes of a Best Buy employee who had been unable to get one, as well as a lucky fan who randomly drove past and called his name, making it one of the best fan experiences you’ll see on YouTube. Timestamp 6:06 It goes without saying that as of late, any fan that runs into Steve when out and about has hit the jackpot. He’s made a big effort to give back to those around him and do a little good for the community here and there, even referring to himself as “the cool Mr Beast,” who’s a great role model to have when it comes to YouTube, so expect to see more like this in the future.

NELK boys’ Stevewilldoit & Bradley Martyn stage “gym protest” in LA Instagram: StevewilldoitNELK Boys’ Steve “Stevewilldoit” Deleonardis and fitness YouTuber Bradley Martyn took to the streets of Los Angeles on Monday, August 3 to stage a gym “brotest.” Stevewilldoit uploaded the video of the protest to his YouTube channel on Thursday, with all the strange antics caught on camera — and it looked as insane as it sounds. Stevewilldoit is a popular YouTube personality with more than 2.5 million YouTube subscribers. He is also a part of the NELK Boys, who have built a massive fan base for their entertaining weekly vlogs and prank series on YouTube. Steve was joined by YouTuber and fitness coach Bradley Martyn who is also the co-founder of Zoo Culture Gym, where part of the protest was staged. The pair have an ongoing “feud,” as they constantly prank one another on their channels. Bradley admitted in the video that his gym was still open despite government advice, revealing that he was charging $50 for a day pass. The protest looked massive, with a huge crowd filmed meeting the YouTube stars outside of Bradley’s gym holding up signs that read “Gym Lives Matter” and “Big Lats Matter.” Bradley said the crowd was “definitely more than I expected,” and they handed out free merchandise to the protesters and even some equipment from the gym itself. Addressing the crowd, Steve said: “I don’t think I’d be where I am right now without the gym.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJqN1s6CxUM Bradley said that they were protesting to open up the gyms because they’re important for mental and physical health. He said: “Although we have all this stuff going on in the world, I think that people sometimes lose sight of the physical health support for all of us and the mental health support for all of us.” As the crowd marched in the street, Steve occasionally dropped to the ground to do push-ups, and frequently took sips of liquor from a large bottle, in what can only be described as exactly what you might expect from the 21-year-old.

NELK Boys slam YouTubers promoting “scam” crypto after turning down offers YouTube: NELK/UnsplashPopular content creators the NELK Boys put out a warning for fans who might get duped into buying different crypto coins just because other YouTubers are promoting it. Over the last few months, influencers have been getting involved with crypto and stocks as they’ve become more and more popular with the public. Plenty of creators have criticized those who have been getting involved, while others, like Jake Paul, have had to tell fans that they’re not giving out financial advice. There are still a number of influencers who are hyping up different crypto coins in tweets and videos, but the NELK Boys have urged fans to not get duped by what’s going on. The popular YouTube collective put out a PSA, revealing that they’ve been contacted to sell different coins to their fans but they’ve rejected the offers. “Any influencers you see promoting any coin or crypto has a very simple goal. Get their fans to invest money because they received a free coin or they bought very low,” they said. “When you all trust them and invest, they sell and make tons of money off you!” On top of revealing they’ve been offered deals, they further labeled the practice as “disgusting” and “scam bulls**t,” suggesting that anyone doing it is “hungry for money.” PSA from insiders whove been offered these deals pic.twitter.com/MpdeWWismU — Nelk Boys (@nelkboys) June 6, 2021 Some fans quickly compared it to promoting gambling, which NELK have done on a few occasions before. Though, others argued that point, claiming that the two are vastly different. As the crypto game continues to grow, more influencers will likely get involved, and it’ll be on the fans to heed the warnings or potentially end up with egg on their face.

NELK Boys reveal why they were denied entry into Russia Instagram: NELKBoysYouTube pranksters the NELK Boys have revealed why they were recently denied entry into Russia, and what they have set out to do next after their plans were shut down. The Canadian creative collection, who upload daring videos with incredible levels of production, revealed that they would be heading to Russia following the conclusion of their ‘Spin the Globe Challenge.’ However, on August 9, they ran into trouble. Before being able to board their flight from Germany to Russia, the team was pulled aside and questioned about why they were traveling there. They had not updated fans following their release, but have now explained why they ran into some trouble. In their newest upload – “Detained trying to enter Russia” – the group noted that during their detainment, they were held for around an hour before being told that their travels visas had been “revoked,” despite having an international lawyer helping them out. In the immediate aftermath, the YouTuber’s added: “They pulled us aside and they knew so much shit about us – it’s hard to believe. It’s fucked to believe, but I guess we advertised that we were going to Russia a lot and I think like, someone alerted some level of government in Russia.” The YouTubers later revealed that the trip would not be a success as they had their visas for Russia revoked and would be altering their plans. “It literally looks like we’re never getting into Russia,” they explained. “We got visas, everything was good, and then they got fucking reverted. So, unless we get invited by Putin himself, we’re never getting into Russia.” Yet, they won’t be heading back to the United States or Canada anytime soon. Instead, the full NELK team will be taking on viewer suggestions for places to visit on a European road trip. They added: We thought it would be sick to fucking just drive all across Europe. We rented these two big ass whips to fit all the boys and we’re thinking to just do what we used to do – get in the car and just fucking drive.” Of course, this change will mean that fans will have to wait a little bit longer for some insane adventures, especially as they’re producing content on-the-go across Europe.

NELK Boys shock fan with surprise ‘FULL SEND’ Ferrari worth $350k YouTube: NELKThe NELK Boys have gone on a gift-giving tour, surprising some of their most avid fans, but one viewer was left dumbfounded after they gave him a brand new, $350,000 Full Send-themed Ferrari. The NELK Boys were once known as low-budget pranksters that built a huge audience traveling to wherever they could, pranking anyone and everyone with absolutely no fear. In recent years, though, they’ve blown up, and pulling off pranks to that scale has become increasingly harder as the authorities are aware of who they are and what they do. They’ve frequently landed themselves in legal trouble, but ultimately know where the line is. That said, as a result of their success through YouTube, they’ve been fortunate enough to make a decent amount of money, and are always giving back to their community and friends. In the past, we’ve seen SteveWillDoIt completely turn a homeless man’s life around, providing him with $25k cash, an apartment, and a new job to boot. Meanwhile, star of the show Kyle Forgeard gave his dad $300k so that he could comfortably retire in a truly heartwarming moment. Now, with the launch of their new Happy Dad seltzer, they gave away free samples of the drink, a bunch of cash, and, the biggest of all, a $350k Ferrari F8 Tributo to one lucky fan. “This is f**king crazy,” the fan said after getting in and revving the engine, with one of the NELK crew comparing it to “seeing Bigfoot.” Timestamp 16:33 The car itself starts at $270k as a minimum, but with any additional extras, it reaches well over $300k and, not only that, the Full Send theme makes it truly one-of-a-kind. The boys do pull a little prank on the lucky fan, joking that he only gets to keep it for 28 days after which the lease is $10k — but he looks delighted either way. Of course, it’s not just a 28-day gift. It’s his for good, and that will probably be the most insane gift he ever receives.

NELK Boys reveal they turned down $1.5m to host YouTubers vs TikTokers as fighters “got robbed” YouTube: FULL SEND/NELKNELK’s Kyle Forgeard claims the YouTube collective was offered $1.5 million to host the YouTubers vs TikTokers Battle of the Platforms event but following all the fallout, he’s pretty glad they turned it down. For the past few years, social media stars from across the globe have been stepping into the boxing ring in a bid to settle scores and earn a nice little payday too. While some like KSI, Logan, and Jake Paul have joined the professional ranks, there are others that have stuck to just content creator vs content creator bouts. The YouTubers vs TikToker event was arguably the biggest of the lot so far, but the fallout has been drama-filled. AnEsonGib’s draw with Tayler Holder was overturned to hand the victory to the British YouTuber and lawsuits have been dished out as payouts haven’t been forthcoming. Now, the NELK Boys have revealed that they had a near-miss with the event. While speaking to Jordan Belfort on the FULL SEND podcast, the boys touched on the latest updates around the boxing event as Belfort asked if anyone had finally been paid out. “They offered us like a million and a half to host that event, but we didn’t do it,” NELK’s Kyle said. “I’m glad we didn’t do it because we probably wouldn’t have gotten the money.” The YouTuber added that he thinks the creators “just got robbed” for taking part, but noted “who knows what’s going on” with it all and how it plays out down the line. Timestamp of 42:20 As noted, there have been several lawsuits filed against different parties regarding the event – with some creators suing ACE Family’s Austin McBroom and others going after LiveXLive. While the fallout from the event has been drama-filled, the interest in social media stars fighting continues to remain high, so similar events will likely happen regardless.

NELK Boys reveal three-year plan of FULL SEND’s next big gamble NELK YouTubeThe NELK Boys are unleashing their next major project soon with FULL SEND gyms that the crew says will be “everywhere” in the next three years. After successfully growing the brand and channels, Kyle Forgeard and co. are looking for their next play that will let fans interact with the NELK name – and they think they’ve hit on the perfect solution. On the latest episode of the FULL SEND Podcast, Forgeard revealed that the group has been in advanced talks to design and build the first of what could be many gyms in their style. These won’t be standard fitness clubs; instead, they will take after the FULL SEND lifestyle that could let faithful gym rats vlog, train, and socialize in their natural habitat. “I think the style of FULL SEND gym would be kind of like, [Self Made gyms], where it’s like you’re allowed to take off your shirt,” Stephen ‘SteveWillDoIt’ Deleonardis said. “You can bring your dogs, if they’re trained… and you’ll be allowed to film in there. “Some of the big chain gyms, you’re not allowed to film, you can’t take off your shirt. There’s a lot of rules. I feel our gym is going to be one of those badass gyms.” Forgeard is working with 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov to design and raise the first FULL SEND gyms. They expect to have the first FULL SEND gym open up in Orange County, California in the next six months, Forgeard said. (Timestamp at 13:34 for mobile viewers) From there, the crew thinks they can expand to five or six gyms by 2022, with the hope that “FULL SEND gyms will be everywhere in three years.” The NELK Boys have been expanding their reach from clothing to hard seltzers and are eyeing the next phase of their growth with physical places to FULL SEND every day.

NELK Boys reveal “creepy” behavior that made them fire editor 905 Shooter Popular YouTubers NELK Boys have explained the alleged reason why they were forced to fire member Jason ‘905 Shooter’ Pagaduan after three years with their Full Send company, claiming he was sending inappropriate messages to girls, and being generally “lazy” behind the scenes. The NELK Boys are well known for their crazy YouTube channel, full of outrageous pranks and insane production values, using their “Full Send” motto as the motivator for their lifestyle and their drive to create high-quality content on the channel. It seems not everybody shared that feeling though, with members Kyle Forgeard and SteveWillDoIt appearing on Bob Menery’s Ripper Magoos podcast to state that laziness and poor behavior lead to the dismissal of 905 Shooter from the group. When asked about the exit, which took place on October 15, Forgeard and SteveWillDoIt claimed that the former cameraman-turned-personality was lazy behind the scenes, and also alleged that he had been sending inappropriate messages and videos to women. “He didn’t do any work behind the camera at all,” Foregeard stated. “He was our cameraman, but he wasn’t doing any work behind the camera. People just assumed. He was very lazy. He would huff and puff when you asked him to edit, taking midday naps. For someone to be lazy and not believe in it, it’s not fair.” “The main reason is there’s a lot of s**t with girls. When I brought him on three years ago, there were a lot of creepy messages he was sending to girls. We got a video in our direct messages of 905 sending unwanted, repetitive, unsolicited videos.” SteveWillDoIt also shared a story from their trip to Ibiza, which saw a fan hospitalized, explaining that 905 Shooter refused to acknowledge the members of their audience who had been invited along on the trip, saying he “didn’t understand the responsibility.” Pagaduan has yet to publicly address his exit from the NELK Boys and Full Send but has removed all of the company’s branding from his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

NELK Boys reveal they made $0.23 on 15 million YouTube views YouTube: NELK Boys / Pexels.comInternet comedy group and avid pranksters ‘The NELK Boys’ have revealed their shocking earnings from YouTube’s adsense — and despite getting millions of views, it seems that the platform isn’t being kind to their collective pocketbook. NELK is a rather divisive group, as far as internet entertainment groups go; known for pulling outrageous pranks on unsuspecting members of the public, NELK have been physically assaulted, harangued and publicly shamed for their antics multiple times in the past. Lately, though, the boys have been drawing massive crowds wherever they go, which quite clearly have flown in the face of local social distancing ordinances in various cities across the United States. As such, it came as little surprise that NELK received a one-week ban from YouTube after drawing the ire of the Illinois State University for throwing a massive party with their students — but it doesn’t look like the platform is finished punishing them, just yet. In an Instagram story on November 12, NELK revealed that their October YouTube views had reached a jaw-dropping 15 million eyeballs over the entire month. However, in spite of the eye-watering amount of clicks on the video, YouTube seemed to demonetized their channel completely, awarding them only 23 cents. Understandably, this sparked backlash among the group, who hashed out their thoughts on the matter by exposing the analytics behind their monthly views. The screenshot they uploaded of their earnings showed that their videos had been watched for an impressive 156 million minutes, and that they had gained over 91,000 subscribers. Luckily for NELK, they don’t have to rely on adsense to keep the lights on; the group appears to make most of their dough from their own apparel line, appropriately named “Full Send” after their signature catch phrase. Given that NELK doesn’t monetize directly from YouTube ads or brand deals, they make most of their revenue from their apparel business called @fullsend. Full Send is MASSIVE. For context, their April drop had over 275K visitors on the site.pic.twitter.com/77Oy5NusDs — Blake Robbins (@blakeir) November 13, 2020 According to Ludlow’s Blake Robbins, Full Send’s April merchandise launch drew over 275,000 visitors to their website — a huge success for a content collective struggling to stay afloat amid public outrage and YouTube’s restrictions in wake of their divisive behavior.

NELK Boys & SteveWillDoIt slam fans for being kicked out of Jersey house YouTubeThe NELK Boys have come under fire recently for holding multiple large gatherings in the span of just a few days. However, they’ve responded to the backlash, explaining how things are allegedly being misinterpreted. Having blown up on social media throughout 2020, NELK Boys have faced their fair share of criticism as well. The group of pranksters was banned from YouTubejust days ago, and the controversy hasn’t slowed down since. The extremely popular personalities recently came under fire for hosting two enormous gatherings across the United States. In the midst of an ongoing health crisis, huge crowds have gathered for a chance to interact with the internet celebrities. This was a cause for huge concern as streets were filled and security was forced to keep the meetups in order. Since the most recent incidents, Kyle Forgeard of the NELK Boys took to social media to address the drama. Outlining how the media has been getting the narrative “pretty f**king twisted.” While police shut down earlier gatherings, the latest meetups were supposedly kept in line by forces the NELK Boys had hired. This was done in order to “disperse people and get rid of the crowds” in the midst of the ongoing health crisis — though the NELK Boys assured they had no intention of causing any big meetups in the first place. “It might sound stupid, we don’t know how big we are,” Forgeard said. “We don’t feel famous, we feel normal. We can’t even post a story of where we’re at anymore. People will show up and we’re gonna get in sh*t for starting a large gathering.” “It’s just something we’re going to have to accept,” he added. Regardless of where they are or what they’re doing, fans will seemingly show up out of the blue. https://twitter.com/NelkFilmz/status/1306030201911083009 “We’re not used to it and I guess we’re learning the hard way. It sucks that we have to change our style because of how big we are.” From fines for big parties to bans on social media platforms for other meetups, NELK have certainly been in trouble for recent actions. It’s something they’re well aware of, and something they’re actively trying to stop, too, as a new video suggests. Late on September 15, footage emerged of NELK’s SteveWillDoIt angrily confronting fans who were gathering around where they were staying on the Jersey Shore — one of the huge gatherings that critics have called them out for. In the video, he demands the large group of fans let him speak before letting them know how they’re affecting their work. “You say you’re fans because you love us, right?” he asked the crowd. “You’re getting us kicked out on our merch drop day because you’re here… If you’re here right now, you don’t like us, and I don’t f**k with you. We worked two months for this day, so if you guys stay here, I don’t f**k with any of you.” While many fans and critics alike believe that NELK have been purposely orchestrating these gatherings so as to meet with their fans, it’s starting to look as though the complete opposite is true — and it could be having a big impact on their work. This is especially pertinent if it affects their merch drops — which, especially after being permanently demonetized, NELK say they rely solely on for income. How this changes things in the future, and whether NELK Boys fans can resist the temptation to hunt the stars down as they travel across the US, remains to be seen.

NELK Boys respond to SteveWillDoIt’s “crazy” YouTube channel ban YouTube: FULL SEND Podcast Clips / Instagram: stevewilldoitOn August 1, popular YouTuber ‘SteveWillDoIt’ was suddenly hit with a permanent channel ban — something the NELK Boys called a “shocking” turn of events. SteveWillDoIt is a popular online figure, both independently and as part of the NELK Boys group. In his time on YouTube, Steve managed to accrue over four million subscribers thanks to his generosity, often giving away Teslas or large amounts of money to fans and friends (on top of his prank-filled shenanigans with the NELK Boys). That amount of growth is nothing to sneeze at, considering he’d only started his channel in May 2019. Three years later, YouTube permanently deleted it due to unspecified violations of its Community Guidelines. While Steve himself hasn’t spoken at length about the ban, merely posting a screenshot of YouTube’s email on Instagram, the NELK Boys discussed the matter at length during a recent episode of their Full Send podcast. According to Kyle Forgeard, the sudden ban came as a total shock to the entire crew, who learned about the incident just as they were landing to film the episode. “His channel was f**kin’ permanently deleted by YouTube, literally probably twelve hours ago,” Forgeard said. “We landed in Texas and we literally found out that his channel was being f**king deleted.” Forgeard even claimed that Steve was supposed to be on that podcast episode, but had to drop out to deal with the issue of his channel. “He just said, ‘Yo guys, I can’t. I just can’t really do it right now. I’m just not in the mood.’” The crew went on to rattle of the jaw-dropping amount of giveaways Steve had orchestrated in his time on the platform, claiming he’d gifted: “32 cars, 52 watches, three houses, over $1 million in U.S. cash, and over $3 million in Pesos.” It’s clear that the NELK Boys are left just as stunned as Steve himself as fans continue to await word about the creator’s future on — or off — YouTube.

NELK Boys promise “way more NFTs” after $23 million success of Full Send Metacard YouTube: Money Buys Happiness/Full SendNelk Boys co-founder Kyle Forgeard has revealed that the group will be releasing more NFTs in the future after making $23 million with their Full Send Metacard project. With the growth of Web3, more influencers are getting into blockchain-based NFT projects with a wide variety of ways to use them. Just recently we’ve seen Dr Disrespect announce he’s using the blockchain to provide a ‘founders pass’ for his unannounced game. The NELK Boy’s released their Full Send Metacard NFT project on January 17, 2022, to provide fans with a way to access a wide variety of future Full Send businesses, gyms, meet and greets, and more. After making $23 million from their first web3 project, Kyle Forgeard has revealed that they will be releasing “way more NFTs” in the near future. Nelk Boys will release “way more NFTs” soon During an April 3 episode of ‘Money Buys Happiness,’ Forgeard revealed some of the plans his company has for the future, including a line of gyms throughout the United States. The hosts went on to ask Kyle about their Metacard project, and he revealed that they will be releasing “way more” NFTs in the future. “We’re gonna be one of the biggest brands in the Web3 space,” Kyle explained. “As we build out physical stuff, our digital stuff will be the key to what we do.” (Topic starts at 38:22 in the video) The OpenSea page for the collection reveals that the Full Send brand plans to launch ventures like, “lounges, gyms, festivals, casinos, restaurants and more,” and that they plan to launch these same projects in the metaverse. Luckily for those that missed out, you can still check out how to purchase the NFT — but you’ll be paying a second-hand premium.

NELK Boys prank ends in disaster as victim starts fight and threatens to kill them YouTube, NELKThe Nelk Boys are back at it again with another prank video, but this one goes horribly wrong after a victim of their shenanigans attacked one of the actors. Having built up almost seven million YouTube subscribers since the creation of their channel in 2010, the Nelk Boys could be considered the go-to for prank videos on the platform. On top of their out-of-this-world jokes, they also practice philanthropy between the members of the group and have even given their biggest fan a house. In a delivery prank video uploaded October 4, the first couple of people they pranked handled it rather well and were rewarded cash. With the last person, however, they never expected it to go quite so badly. Nelk Boys prank goes horribly wrong When the last delivery driver showed up at the set, he was quickly bombarded by a man acting as a police officer. The actor and all of the prankster’s crew jumped down to the ground as the faux police officer yelled to do so. “He’s the leader, he’s the leader of the whole thing. He’s a fake Postmates driver,” a member of the Nelk Boys yelled as the police officer yelled for everyone to be quiet. They seem to have a different idea, though, as they hand the fake police officer $50,000 to make him “forget anything happened.” They finally let the victim walk away, but not before they stopped the delivery driver to tell him it was a prank the whole time. Instantly dropping his bag in response, the man replied: “I’m gonna f*** you guys up!” (Timestamp at 12:31 for mobile users) https://youtu.be/CJOxxfGnZ5s?t=751 Heading over to the phony police officer holding the money, the man puts the actor in a chokehold before tackling him. After the team separated the two, the victim threatened to kill several of the production team, including mention of a firearm he claimed to have in his car. The real police ended up arriving to protect the YouTubers and their production crew. Fortunately, Nobody received any serious injuries.

NELK Boys prank escorts in Amsterdam – Their next European city announced NelkFilmz, Twitter / UnsplashThe NELK Boys decided to take their hilarious pranking skills to Amsterdam and it’s fair to say that their interactions with escorts lived up to expectations. The group of Canadian YouTubers often try out some of the most daring jokes and post them for the 3.4 million subscribers of their channel to enjoy. Their trip to the Netherlands was no different as well. In their latest video, uploaded on August 19, the Boys can be seen walking through the streets of Amsterdam in the day – where they invited escorts onto a private boat – but things got even more interesting when the sun went down. Amsterdam’s Red Light District attracts millions of tourists per year and it’s usually an unwritten rule not to record or photograph the escorts in the windows, although the NELK Boys just couldn’t help themselves. “We’re about to head into the fucking famous Red Light District right now,” Kyle Forgeard said. “Everything is there – shrooms, drugs, hookers. You’re not supposed to film there but you guys know us. We’re going to find a way to film there. We’re going to fuck with the hookers.” As Kyle approached a door with the red lights shining in the darkness, the prank had begun. “Damn, what have you eaten today? Like did you eat Chipotle or like any beans?” he asked, before the woman said she had eaten Chipotle. “What do you want?” she said repeatedly. He responded: “Like you rip ass? And then pull the sheets over and cover me, and I just fucking inhale that shit. Do you fart? You rip good ass?” At this point, the escort had absolutely no idea what she was getting herself into. “Do you want to come up or not baby? Too much talking. 150 Euros.” Whether this was one of NELK Boys’ best pranks or not is pretty much down to you, but there’s no doubt that they were taking a risk filming in that area of Amsterdam. Who knows what they’ll get up to next as they head to London for the next leg of their European road trip.

The Nelk Boys’ massive fan meetup gets shut down by cops NelkBoys, Instagram / Freepik“The Nelk Boys” are one of YouTube’s most popular prank channels, boasting over 3 million subscribers – but their fan meetup took a drastic turn precisely because of their huge fanbase. Canadian prankster group “The Nelk Boys” decided to host a fan meetup in Dublin, Ireland, alongside popular YouTubers Bradley Martyn and “Stevewilldoit.” However, their meetup in Dublin’s Phoenix Park didn’t go as expected: Instagram stories from the group show a horde of fans fleeing the area as police arrive on the scene to shut down the gathering. The group discussed the incident in a series of Instagram story videos, where they admitted that they were surprised by the amount of fans who turned up to the event. “I don’t know how many people showed up, but the cops fucking closed the gate, they shut the palce down,” they said of the drama. “We chose a public place on purpose so we thought they couldn’t shut it down.” Further videos from their Ireland trip show the group being questioned in what could be the “Twenty Two” nightclub where they’d likewise planned a meetup with fans – although it doesn’t seem this particular venture was successful, either. This wouldn’t be the first time the Nelk Boys have had a recent run-in with law enforcement: in fact, four members of the “Full Send” squad were pulled aside for questioning in Germany in early August, as part of their “spin the globe” challenge for a flight to Russia – although they were later released, details pending. Kyle, Jesse, 905 and Steve were pulled aside at the security checkpoint while boarding their flight to Russia. Questioning has been going on for over an hour thus far. We are currently in contact with our Visa attorneys hoping to solve this issue immediately. – NELK MGMT— NELK (@NelkFilmz) August 9, 2019 Of course, the Nelk Boys’ latest meetup isn’t the first YouTube event that has caused mass chaos, by far: makeup mogul James Charles’ meetup in Birmingham, UK saw an entire mall filled to the brim with screaming fans, and even caused a gridlock in the surrounding streets thanks to the fan gathering. As YouTube stars continue to grow in popularity, the traditional definition of the word “celebrity” continues to change, with more and more internet stars drawing massive crowds due to their online reach.

NELK Boys’ $23m NFT collection sells out in minutes Instagram: nelkboysYouTuber group The NELK Boys’ highly anticipated Full Send Metacard NFT collection sold out in minutes, grossing roughly $23 million. The NELK Boys are a YouTube collective with over seven million followers who made a name for themselves through their wild content, in which they do anything from pulling pranks on strangers to partying. Fans of the crew were delighted when on January 17 they announced that they would be taking a step into the NFT game like other popular influencers such as Logan Paul. The Discord server for the collection gained 121,000 members in about 12 hours, so it was clear from the get-go that these NFTs were going to be in high demand. They launched on January 19, with the Full Send NFT available for mint for 0.75 ETH, which was roughly $2300 at the time of launch. The collection sold out within minutes due to the incredibly high demand, and with 10,000 Full Send Metacards available, they will have sold for approximately $23m total value. On the OpenSea page for the collection, they explain that the Full Send brand plans to launch branded ventures like, “lounges, gyms, festivals, casinos, restaurants and more,” and that they plan to launch these same ventures in the metaverse. They say that: “Owning a Full Send Metacard allows you to get in early on what is the beginning of a long journey for the Full Send brand.” The NELK Boys aren’t the only influencers who have gotten into the world of NFTs in recent months. Logan Paul has been sharing his journey with his followers, revealing the insane value of his NFT wallet, and even TikTok star Addison Rae has been getting involved. And with the success of the Full Send Metacard, many more may have been tempted by the idea of getting into NFTs.

NELK Boys’ Kyle recruits man who punched him for a new prank NELK YouTubeYouTube prankster Kyle Forgeard had another encounter with the man that punched him after a joke gone wrong, but this time they teamed up to pull one over the rest of the NELK boys squad. The Canadian content creators have a massive following of nearly four million subscribers on YouTube who tune in to see how the band of pranksters will trick people using their unique set of elaborate antics. Though sometimes those jokes can severely backfire with the wrong people, such as when a man under the profile name ‘Roy Thomas’ uploaded a video of him punching the Kyle for a sneezing prank at Walmart. After the clip and incident went viral, Kyle got a message from Thomas saying that they “were good.” Their short interaction seemed to smooth things over between the two, and that’s when the NELK star hatched a plan for revenge on his friends. “I say we call it a friendship and prank the rest of the squad,” he said while video chatting with Thomas. The two coordinated to show up at the same Walmart of their first encounter, but this time Kyle the target of the prank would be a double-agent since the joke would be targeting their friends Salim and Jay. While the group planned a quick prank of moaning in random shoppers’ ears, Thomas was going to be in one of the aisles with the intention of walking up to an unsuspecting Salim. At that point, Thomas would turn around and scare Salim, since it would appear like they did a hit on the wrong person twice but this time it would be even more violent. “That’s when you can turn around and grab him and pick him up and push him against the wall,” Kyle explained to Thomas the details of the planned prank. “You can do whatever you want with him.” But when it was actually time to go, Salim instantly recognized the man that punched Kyle and backed off the aisle he was in. That’s when a bit of improv inspired Thomas to chase Salim and the NELK boys out of the Walmart and trap them in their car. The prank was a success with Salim and Jay panicking throughout the ordeal, just to have the rug pulled from under them. While the NELK boys might be more cautious in their pranks for the future, this was a great way to make something funny happen out of a bad situation.

NELK Boys leave long-time fan in tears with surprise $10k gift Instagram: nelkboys[jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] The NELK Boys are known for their wild, partying lifestyle and hilarious pranks on unsuspecting members of the public, but they actually left a fan in tears after giving him a rare, heartwarming gift of $10,000. The fan, who NELK affectionately refer to as ‘Magic Mike,’ has been following the pranksters for quite some time. In fact, the main reason they went back to visit him was because he was the first fan to ever let them stay in his house, way back when they couldn’t afford to even pay for motels. While NELK might not be making money from YouTube, they do make a lot of money from sales of their Full Send merchandise to fans, and have come quite a long way from sleeping on fans’ couches. That said, they wanted to repay Mike for how he helped them, and even more so when he explained his current life situation: he wants to move out with his Dad, who recently lost his job, to go and live with the rest of his family in Chicago, and he’s still struggling to pay rent with his job in a restaurant. When Kyle handed Mike a cooler bag, he seemed delighted before even knowing what was in it, but it became clear how much it meant to him once he opened it up and found the cash. “You’re giving me all of this?” he asked excitedly. “$10,000? Is this real? I could pay so much rent with this. I feel bad for taking this, though…” Timestamp 14:05 Obviously, there was nothing for Mike to feel bad for. It seems like he’s been going through a rough patch, and the NELK Boys were probably delighted to see their money help someone in need like that that had supported them for so long. It wasn’t long before Mike was crying, explaining how much the money will help him, especially in getting to Chicago, and even Kyle said that he feels like tearing up at the situation. At the end of the video, after leaving Mike, Kyle mentions flying him out to the Full Send house — before SteveWillDoIt suggests that they could even hire him, which would definitely help end some of his financial woes. That really would be the best way to repay a long-time fan.

Nelk Boys’ Kyle Forgeard explains why Jesse Sebastiani disappeared from their videos NelkKyle Forgeard of NELK Boys revealed to fans why Jesse ‘mtvjesse’ Sebastiani had been a rare sight on the channel during 2020 and why he might not be returning during a recent broadcast on Twitch. NELK is one of the most well-known channels on YouTube. Love their pranks or hate them, there’s a good chance you’ve seen or at least heard about the group before. In recent months, fans had started to notice the absence of Sebastiani from videos, but the other members of the group had remained silent about what was going on, until Kyle cleared things up during a recent stream. While playing some blackjack, Kyle explained that since the channel was founded in 2010 they had done so many pranks that Jesse was just sort of “burnt out.” “We’ve been doing this a long time, we’ve done a lot of pranks, we’ve pretty much done everything, and I think Jesse’s kind of just burnt out,” Forgeard told viewers. “He still wants to be in the videos and stuff, but you guys have seen the videos from the past year.” While he still wants to be included in content, Sebastiani seems to be done with producing and coming up with ideas, of course, once he speaks about the situation we’ll know exactly what’s going on. “I just think Jesse’s kinda done with the videos and s**t, like in a way,” the 26-year-old explained. “And no, we’re not set at all, we bring in a lot of money from our merch drops and stuff, but I don’t think me and Jesse have taken money out of the company in like, five months maybe?” https://youtu.be/wZoDr31Bqhs Jesse apparently packing up shop is a hard pill to swallow for NELK fans, a lot of whom view the duo of him and Kyle as the “heart and soul” of the channel. “When I think of “Nelk” I think of “Kyle & Jesse”. That would suck if he was done,” one user replied, and while he might be done with NELK, that’s not saying he’s done making content altogether. But, we won’t know exactly what his plans are until he speaks out himself.

Nelk Boy’s Kyle Forgeard reacts to Logan Paul fight offer YouTube: Money Buys Happiness/ImpaulsiveNelk Boys co-founder Kyle Forgeard has responded to Logan Paul wanting to fight him, stating that the feud between the two content creators is just “friendly competition.” Over the last few years, the Nelk Boys have gained mass popularity thanks to their prank videos, philanthropy, and the Full Send Podcast. During the March 1 episode of the Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul revealed to Oliver Tree that he wanted to fight Kyle Forgeard after mentioning that Nelk “copied” their idea for their podcast. Kyle has responded, saying that he believes the feud between him and Logan is just “friendly competition,” and claims that he is friends with both of the Paul brothers. Kyle responds to Logan wanting to fight him On the April 3 episode of the podcast ‘Money Buys Happiness,’ Ernesto Gaita and Anthony Sorella brought up to Kyle that the Paul brothers have been calling him out “a little bit.” “No, I think just Logan,” Forgeard explained. “I think it’s because they started Impaulsive. They were the first to do that and they crushed it. Now it’s just a friendly competition I think. They paved the way, we got our idea from them.” He went on to state that he believes the Full Send Podcast has continued to beat Impaulsive in views and viewer retention, meaning fans allegedly watch their podcast longer than Logan’s. (Topic starts at 40:08 in video) Kyle Forgeard and Bob Menery created the Full Send Podcast in 2021, three years after Logan Paul and Mike Majlak launched Impaulsive. Since then, the Full Send Podcast has amassed over a million subscribers. They’ve also had celebrity guests like Jamie Foxx, Gary Vaynerchuck, Dana White, and Mike Tyson appear on the show.

NELK Boys’ Kyle discovers he’s wanted by police in drunk-driving prank YouTube: NELK BoysNELK boys’ Kyle Forgeard was surprised to find out that he has an arrest warrant out of Ohio in the group’s latest video – while they were pranking the police. The popular group of pranksters, known as the NELK Boys, have built a massive online following with over 4 million subscribers on YouTube for their entertaining videos. In their August 17 video, they drove around Los Angeles in a self-driving Tesla drinking non-alcoholic Heineken beers, like they had previously done during their trip to Florida in June – a prank which racked up almost 7 million views on YouTube. They were pulled over twice by police, and the second time Kyle was asked to step out of the vehicle after trying to finish the beer in front of the police officer, who pulled the bottle out of his mouth. NELK are no strangers to getting involved with the police, whether its playing pranks on them, actually getting arrested or going to court. One of the group’s more recent run-ins with police led to an actual arrest in Mississippi in May after an attempted prank in Target. While the boys were let free, they revealed that they had been charged for disturbing the peace and would be going to court. https://twitter.com/NelkFilmz/status/1262567174536822784?s=20 This time, however, it was only Kyle who appeared to be in trouble. The officer said “have you ever been to Ohio? It says you have a warrant out of Ohio, but it’s only for in-state pickup.” Later on, Kyle calls his lawyer for advice and theorizes that “I don’t know if it’s for a traffic ticket.” At the very beginning of the episode, NELK also addressed the controversies surrounding their suggestions that Jason ‘905 Shooter’ Pagaduan, their old videographer, might have returned. NELK was forced to fire him after three years with their Full Send company, claiming he was sending inappropriate messages to girls, and being generally “lazy” behind the scenes. The statement read: “We read your comments last video. We’re only here because of you boys. Criticism noted.”

NELK Boys’ Kyle Forgeard arrested for latest YouTube prank Instagram: kyleKyle Forgeard of the NELK Boys YouTube collective has been arrested as a result of their latest prank after allegedly impersonating a security officer in Texas. It wouldn’t be the NELK Boys if they weren’t pushing boundaries and getting themselves in trouble. The controversial YouTube group has been in hot water for all manner of drama over the past year and now, one of its founders has been arrested. While filming at the Grapevine Mills Mall in Texas, the group took things a little too far. Forgeard reportedly impersonated a mall security officer which quickly led to his arrest by the local police force. The popular social media star was allegedly riding through the mall on his own segway pretending to be a security guard. Pray to the send gods boys @KyleForgeard 🤞🏻 pic.twitter.com/01qwoAzHJF — Nelk Boys (@nelkboys) April 20, 2021 “Kyle was just arrested and taken into jail in Dallas, Texas,” the official NELK boys Twitter account confirmed on April 20. Before long and #FreeKyle became a trend across social media as fans pleaded for his release. While this was the final update from the NELK Boys account, Forgeard wasn’t detained for all too long. The YouTuber was soon released after the group posted a $750 bond, according to police records obtained by TMZ. Hours later and he shared a picture on Instagram revealing that he “just got out of jail.” There’s no indication of whether there will be any further consequences at this stage. This is far from his first dealing with cops, however. Forgeard was previously arrested on May 14 in 2020 alongside other members of the NELK Boys group. View this post on Instagram Their previous arrest meant that the relevant content never saw the light of day. Due to the illegal nature of their actions here again, there’s a good chance the latest mall prank also never makes it to the internet.

NELK Boys’ Kyle blast Bob Menery over “lies” about owed money from FULL SEND Instagram: Kyle/YouTube: Bob MeneryNELK Boys’ Kyle Forgeard has hit back at Bob Menery’s claims regarding his exit from the FULL SEND Podcast, claiming that the former host is not owed any money and is fully paid up. Over the last couple of years, YouTube has become home to plenty of messy break-ups – between both actual couples and content collectives. On October 3, things around the FULL SEND break-up between Bob Menery – known for his viral sports commentary parodies – and the NELK Boys – a YouTube group known for their pranks and wild videos – got pretty messy. Menery, who exited the podcast back in June, hit out at the group for ‘sliting his throat’ with the way they treated his departure and claimed that he was owed thousands for his work. Though, NELK’s Kyle Forgeard has now disputed that. NELK Kyle responds to Bob Menery’s FULL SEND exit claims A few days after Menery put out his viral TikTok, Forgeard took to Instagram stories to tell his side of things, claiming that Menery had been paid around $1.2 million for his work. “Bob is saying on social media that we owe him money. That’s a lie. We don’t owe Bob Menery a cent,” the YouTuber started. “He’s also saying he the worst deal, a terrible deal for the podcast but guys, in the 10 months he was on the show, he made $1.2m. $1.2m in 10 months.” Forgeard also disputed Menery’s claims of building the show with his guests, noting that team FULL SEND got the “majority” of guests, while even Dana White pitched in with some big names. The YouTuber further claimed that, at one point, the former host threw a new contract at them and decided to hold out on appearing on shows, which led to the split. “Instead of showing up, he took to social media so quick and just started posting s**t about me, just blasting me, posting lies,” Kyle added. “And to me, right there, like that was the final straw. I felt so taken advantage of and so disrespected from someone that was supposed to be my friend.” He also disputed a claim about splits in revenue, showing the contract signed between the two parties, stating that they both agreed to a 50/50 share. As with most disputes about money on the internet, this probably isn’t going anyway anytime soon, but it seems unlikely there will be a reconciliation between the two either.

NELK boys’ Kyle brings dad to tears after giving him $300,000 to retire YouTube/FULL SENDPopular YouTube celebrities giving money to random people and improving their lives is nothing new, but when NELK boys’ Kyle Forgeard decided to improve someone’s life, he set out to make it personal. [jwplayer 8wUk66mq] Taking to their new channel, “Full Send,” Kyle explained that the purpose of the new hub would be to show off small creators and anything they think is cool. For Kyle, this meant doing something he had wanted to do for a long time. “I’m going to be retiring my dad,” the steamer revealed while driving in his car. As it turns out, he had been talking with his father about how much money he needs to be able to finally retire with just a little under $300,000 left on his mortgage. “I asked him very casually about it and he said that he can retire after that,” he explained. “He said he’s sick of working. He’s sixty-two. I don’t think I would be where I’m at without my parents. So, I don’t know what NELK would be if my parents didn’t support me.” According to the content creator, his parents let him take a leap of faith by dropping out of school and doing YouTube full time. They never doubted him, let him travel to LA and supported him every step of the way. After meeting with his dad in his garage, he gave his old man a present containing the money transfer, which shocked his father to the core. “You’re kidding me, right?” he gasped. “Shit man!” While his dad was fully moved, you could tell he was doing his best not to get too emotional on camera. “We wouldn’t be where we’re at if you and mom didn’t support us,” Kyle noted. Eventually, the surprise overwhelmed Kyle’s father who had to wipe the tears from his eyes. Certainly a proud moment and a gift any dad would love to receive from their son. It’s going to be fun to see what else the NELK lads have in store with their new channel as 2021 rolls on ahead.

NELK Boys’ Jesse Sebastiani explains why he “hates” being YouTube famous Jesse Sebastiani, TwitterMember of popular YouTube prank group “The NELK Boys” Jesse Sebastiani has had enough of his internet fame following a practical joke gone wrong just a few days prior. Although online stardom may seem all sunshine and roses, to Sebastiani, he and the Nelk Boys’ infamous pranks have placed a veritable “target” on their backs, which he opened up about in a somber Tweet on January 28. The NELK Boys are known for their ridiculous practical jokes and pranks, with their YouTube channel boasting over 3.9 million subscribers due to their antics. However, according to Sebastiani, these antics are taking a huge toll on his personal life, claiming that he truly hates being internet famous. “Honestly love what we do, but f**k, I hate being such a target,” he wrote. “It’s cliche and s**t, but I hate fame. I’ve only had a taste of it, and I already experienced how much you have to give up for this life choice. It sounds petty, but I’ve lost almost everything I use to love about life.” Honestly love what we do but fuck I hate being such a target, it’s cliche and shit but I hate fame. I’ve only had a taste of it and I already experienced how much you have to give up for this life choice. It’s sounds petty but I’ve lost almost everything I use to love about life. — mtvjesse (@JesseSebastiani) January 29, 2020 That’s not all: a fan asked the YouTuber exactly what about the lifestyle caused him to feel this way, prompting further explanation from Jesse that included his apparent loss of normal communication. “…it’s hard to explain until you’re in it,” he replied. “It’s all exciting, then you realize this is your life. For some, they feed off it. Personally, [I] feel I lost natural interactions, relationships, just doing normal s**t. You’re always the center of attention, every conversation’s about you.” dude it’s hard to explain un till your in it, it’s all exciting, than you realize this is your life. For some they feed off it, personally feel I lost natural interactions, relationships, just doing normal shit. Your always the center of attention every conversations about you. — mtvjesse (@JesseSebastiani) January 29, 2020 Although he didn’t mention it as a defining factor for his feelings, Jesse’s concerning social media posts follow a physical assault on fellow Nelk Boy Kyle Forgeard, who was struck by a Walmart customer after fake “sneezing” on them as part of a prank. A video of the altercation quickly went viral online, proving that not everyone is enthusiastic about practical jokes while going about their daily business — but it certainly doesn’t help the constant attention the group receives. We did a fake sneezing prank in the hood video yesterday and this dude punched Kyle in the face and posted it on Facebook ? pic.twitter.com/u2up6oKIfk — NELK (@NelkFilmz) January 23, 2020 Jesse isn’t the only content creator to express such sentiments, by far; even stars like Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg have had to beg fans for basic rights like personal privacy after being sabotaged at a drive thru and even having their address leaked.

NELK Boys’ Kyle assaulted for fake sneezing prank in Walmart Nelk, YouTubePopular YouTube prankster Kyle Forgeard from the ‘NELK Boys’ was assaulted after attempting to pull off a fake sneezing prank while in a Walmart store. Prank videos are among some of the most-watched on YouTube and popular content creators NELK Boys are up there with the best to ever do it. The young Canadians stars have built a massive following on social media from some of their risky pranks and Vlog series, with over 3.8 million fans subscribed to their YouTube channel. Their pranks have not always resulted in success, however, as the popular group’s reputation often leads to them having problems with law enforcement even when traveling abroad. While filming for the latest upload on January 22, NELK revealed that their ‘fake sneezing’ on people in Walmart prank did not go according to plan. The popular YouTubers shared that the customer who had been a victim of the prank was looking to get a viral video of his own by filming himself assaulting NELK star Kyle after it took place. https://twitter.com/NelkFilmz/status/1220419047185092613?s=20 “We did a fake sneezing prank in the hood video yesterday and this dude punched Kyle in the face and posted it on Facebook.” NELK expressed, seemingly joking about the encounter. However, unlike the popular YouTubers, the customer who uploaded the video did not seem to take too kindly to the prank, expressing that he was not in the mood for joking around. “They were pulling a fake prank on me, fake sneezing on me and putting me on video, you’re going to go viral now, come here,” he revealed while following Kyle around Walmart after assaulting him. Many fans pointed out the sneezing prank could not have been done at a worse time, due to people’s concerns rising over the Coronavirus that is beginning to spread around the world and claimed that it could have been part of why the customer responded in such a hostile manner.

NELK Boys pull incredible security prank on Instagram models at Coachella YouTube pranksters NELK Boys pulled off an amazing prank on a group of Instagram models who were attempting to attend a party at the Coachella Music Fesitival. Who are NELK Boys? The NELK Boys are a YouTube channel primarily made up of founding member Kyle Forgeard, Jesse Sebastiani and camera operator Jason Pagaduan. The channel focuses on prank videos, although they have also posted mock tutorial videos in the past to great success. The group is known best for their motto “full send,” which is regularly featured as part of pranks, as a way of telling their audience that they are going all in for the video. 600NELK Boys prank Instagram models at Coachella Coachella is one of the most popular music festivals in the world, with thousands of people descending on California to attend the event. Included in the masses of people are popular influencers, who flock to Coachella to meet up with other internet personalities and grow their brand thanks to the event. With a host of Instagram models in attendance throughout the weekend, the NELK Boys headed to an exclusive party in suits, pretending to be security guards who were extremely picky about who they let in. With a number of girls attempting to enter the party, Foregeard and Sebastiani decided it was their job to make sure they had enough followers to enter the party, requesting access to their Instagram profiles to make sure they had enough ‘clout’ to attend the bash. 600The prank went into overdrive however, when YouTube star Jake Paul turned up with a group of girls to enter the party. The NELK Boys let Paul and the rest of his male entourage through, but held the girls back, claiming there were “too many girls” in attendance already. Read More: Top 20 most subscribed YouTube channels – “Is this a joke?” asked one of the girls, as Foregeard asked them to divide into two groups – those with 500,000 followers and more, and those without. When the NELK Boys realized that model Chloe Othen didn’t get enough likes on their photos to meet their high standards, they demanded to see the more “relevant” members of the group, before asking to see their Instagram Insight statistics to see if they would let them in. Ultimately, the NELK Boys revealed that the whole thing was an ellaborate prank to the now extremely frustrated ladies. The models even received a twist as Jake Paul chimed in to say that it was the “funniest fucking shit,” as he knew the pair and had been playing along with the prank.

NELK Boys’ Jesse explains why he stopped making videos with the YouTube group Instagram: mtvjesseNELK Boys fans have noticed the sharp decline in how many of their videos founding member Jesse Sebastiani is appearing in — and now he’s explained the reasons for his absence. Throughout 2020, Jesse became a far more infrequent personality in the pranksters’ YouTube videos, to the point where he is simply no longer in them except on very rare occasions. He’s not removed himself from the group completely, though. Jesse has started putting out videos on the Full Send YouTube channel, which gives fans a little more behind the scenes access to see how he helps run the brand. Kyle has already addressed the issue, saying that Jesse felt “burned out” from their videos. Now, Jesse himself has explained the decision behind becoming less of a fixture in NELK’s main channel videos. Appearing on The Bootleg Kev podcast, Jesse explained himself to fans. The first thing Jesse pointed out was that he has been sober for “6 or 7 months now” as of February 8. With how much partying, drinking and debauchery is a part of NELK’s content, that’s probably not the best environment for someone trying to stay sober. Jesse added that he took a break and came back to “what he really wanted to be doing” — the clothing and background side of the NELK and Full Send brands. Within a week of doing that, he says, he realized that it just made sense for him to be sticking to that side of things. As Jesse says, Kyle has taken on the NELK channel and he is working to make their Send Club subscription service a competitive content platform against the likes of Hulu and Netflix. He aims to make it akin to MTV from several years ago: content to serve their teen and young adult demographic. While many have questioned what exactly is going on with Jesse as his NELK appearances slowed down, it’s become apparent that he’s doing a whole lot for the company. Revealing that they’re opening a 14,000ft warehouse and signing comedians to create Send Club content, we may not have seen the best of Jesse and NELK yet.

NELK Boys fan hospitalized during Ibiza trip with the YouTubers NELK/YouTubeThe NELK Boys have become infamous for their high-risk, crossing-the-line pranks in the YouTube space, but their latest trip to Ibiza may have taken them one step too far as a fan got sent to the hospital. The NELK Boys channel was first started by Kyle Forgeard, doing small skits with his friends. This evolved when Jesse Sebastiani joined him, straight from an MTV show, and they started playing pranks on residents in their home city. During a recent tour of Europe, the Canadian duo announced that they would be flying out two fans and a guest each to Ibiza to party with them and live the NELK life. You can imagine the kind of carnage that ensued. 600However, one of the fans that were flown out got way more than they bargained for, as they were hospitalized on their very first night on the Spanish party island after a few too many drinks. Shortly after chugging three Coronas – a beer that has become synonymous with NELK Boys – the video skips to the fan saying “I’m breaking a glass bottle with my head,” before smashing one of the empty bottles into his temple. (Timestamp 9:26 for mobile users. Warning: blood) He immediately started bleeding from his head and his hand, before getting wrapped up and heading straight to the hospital to get multiple stitches. Although it seemed pretty bad at first, the fan managed to pull through and seemed fine come morning, if not a little banged up. He got up and made a speech at their first dinner together, thanking the NELK Boys for everything they have done for him and telling them how much he appreciates the opportunity. This isn’t the first time the NELK Boys have found themselves in trouble. Before heading out on their European tour, the plan was to go to Russia – but they were denied entry into the country due to their work on YouTube. They also saw their fan meetup in Dublin get shut down by police after authorities caught wind of the kind of content they create and saw the huge crowds forming around the city’s Phoenix Park.

NELK Boys flee Florida after “mobster” threatens to kill them YouTube : NELK BoysThe NELK Boys have always been known for getting into a bit of trouble and causing a stir wherever they go, but they got more than they bargained for when a Florida “mobster” allegedly threatened to kill them while filming in the Sunshine State. Around the time of June 26, NELK and some of the main members, such as Kyle Forgeard and Steve ‘SteveWillDoIt’ Deleonardis, were posting on social media that they have had to quickly leave the Florida area in which they were filming. Though they said they had been threatened by other people there, it’s never quite clear what is going on with NELK, especially as their stunts get ever more expansive and in-depth. That said, a June 27 NELK Boys YouTube upload details exactly what went down – and it’s far more sinister than we could have ever imagined. To say that they were threatened is an understatement, as Kyle explains the story of how an alleged “mobster” made very clear his intentions: which could have had serious repercussions on the YouTube pranksters. After advertising their new Full Send merch drop, Kyle shared a video that explained everything that happened. “We were basically threatened to be killed, our whole team of 18 people, by this apparent mobster in the quays,” he said. “Basically, we were filming a prank like we do every Monday at this resort we were staying at, and this whole time there was this drunk-a*s-Karen-old-lady-b**ch just yapping, ‘why are you filming me?’ “Then she tells this couple, ‘These guys are filming your daughters,’ so this couple comes and asks ‘Are you filming our 14- and 15-year-old daughters?’ Then, another guy comes up to us and listed off all our room numbers and showed our security guard photos in his camera roll of people with their throats slit, crowbars in their head…” Timestamp 3:43 Kyle explained that, after seeing those photos, they packed everything up and left immediately, but that they do have footage of some of the ordeal for their own safety, and they might share it later down the line. Obviously, from what Kyle says, it seems this guy was the real deal, so it was smart not to take their chances with him – although it goes to show that NELK really do put their lives in their own hands with their pranks sometimes.

NELK Boys explain how YouTube strike stopped Andrew Tate interview being posted YouTube: NELKThe NELK Boys have explained why they were unable to upload their second FULL SEND Podcast with Andrew Tate to YouTube even though it is up everywhere else. As the NELK Boys have expanded beyond just YouTube pranks and hijinxs, they’ve built one of the biggest podcasts around with their FULL SEND show. Beyond just interviewing fellow influencers and content creators, the NELK Boys have been able to grab some absolutely massive guests – including former President of the United States Donald Trump. Though, that naturally comes with some controversy and episodes have been taken down. They’ve also had Andrew Tate on their podcast twice, with the first one being put out in video form. The follow-up one, though, isn’t on their own YouTube channel and they’re not sure it will be despite the fact it’s on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and even across TikTok. NELK Boys couldn’t upload second Andrew Tate FULL SEND Podcast to YouTube It was something the YouTubers brought up during their podcast with Kei Cenat and apologized for not having the second Tate-focused episode up on YouTube. “We got a strike on the day that we were going to upload the second one,” Kyle Forgeard explained. “I swear to God, crazy bro. Four months later we just randomly get a strike on the same day. We were right about to drop it.” The boys noted that the episode probably would have gone “crazy” seeing as their first interview with the controversial kickboxer got 11 million views. One channel that reuploaded the second podcast apparently hit the million-view mark after only a few hours as well. “When we got the strike, at that point it’s like alright, we’re gonna be at two strikes then and you don’t want to be at two strikes,” Kyle added. Bradley Martyn offered to put it on his own channel but hasn’t done so just yet. As noted, the video podcast exists on their FULL SEND site and on unofficial channels. Tate’s own channels have been banned from YouTube as they’ve cracked down on content from and about him, so it’s a risk that they aren’t taking and you won’t find an official upload anytime soon.

NELK Boys explain why they may stop uploading to YouTube Instagram: nelkboys / YouTubeThe NELK Boys have seen a meteoric rise throughout 2019 and 2020, with their pranks doing huge numbers on YouTube and reaching over 4 million subscribers. Now, though, they’re threatening to leave the platform. NELK’s content – led by Jesse Sebastiani and Kyle Forgeard – has always been controversial in nature, especially by YouTube’s current standard which prefers to promote family-friendly content. Their pranks have landed them in hot water plenty of times, be it with the people they prank or being held by national law enforcement to prevent them from doing any more. That hasn’t stopped the duo and their team, though, but the latest development in their ongoing issues with the YouTube platform may put a stopper in their plans going forward. Posting a story to the nelkboys Instagram account late on February 24, Kyle explains what is going on and how YouTube are “being complete f**king morons.” He said: “You guys obviously know, we never care about the money, so we don’t give a f**k about monetization and stuff like that, but now they’re just age-restricting our last four videos. So you have to be signed in, have an account, and they don’t recommend it. But a lot of people don’t watch with an account. It destroys the views, so I don’t even know if we’re going to keep uploading on YouTube.” The situation is a tough one for the NELK Boys as YouTube has a huge monopoly on the video-sharing industry, with no real competitors to upload to where they could still reach the 2.5-3 million views they receive on each video. Kyle goes on to say that he “doesn’t even know what to do” about the situation as he’s “so p**sed off,” simply signing off with: “I don’t know, maybe no more YouTube.” This isn’t the first time NELK has had a run-in with YouTube – in January 2018 they released a video explaining why their lack of monetization and depleting almost ran them off the platform. Then, in May 2018, they launched their own platform amid the expectation of an imminent ban from YouTube which never came, so they continued to upload to their channel. Whether they choose to take a similar route this time remains to be seen. The fact that they never made the full switch from YouTube to their own platform suggests that it may not have been as successful as they would have hoped, but having found that they can make a decent living off of merchandise, the video monetization is no longer that important. What they plan to do going forward remains to be seen, but there’s little opportunity for content creators outside of YouTube, especially if they’re looking to maintain their huge fanbase.

NELK Boys’ Donald Trump podcast removed by YouTube after 24 hours Twitter: NELK BoysThe NELK Boys have had their Donald Trump episode of the Full Send Podcast removed from YouTube after 24 hours, and it is just as the former President apparently predicted. Over the last few years, the NELK Boys – a collective of creators from Canada – have made waves on YouTube due to their wild and trend-setting videos of them traveling and pranking others. More recently, though, they’ve started making waves in the podcast world with their Full Send show, as they’ve been able to attract massive guests like Dana White, Mike Tyson, and even the former US President. Trump’s appearance on the March 10 episode set the internet ablaze as he discussed his time in office and what he’s been doing since. However, if you want to watch it, you’re not going to find it on YouTube. After less than 24 hours of being live, the episode had racked up over 6 million views, and was well on its way to setting records for the Full Send channel. However, it has since been removed from YouTube, with the platform citing that the episode violates their “misinformation policy” for some claims made about the 2020 presidential election. NELK Boys’ Kyle Forgeard revealed the email the group had received about the takedown being issued, with them being given the option to appeal if they choose to do so. He didn’t have much to say on it, though, simply calling the situation “crazy.” Shortly after the takedown was issued, the former President appeared on FOX News to discuss what had happened, and even gave a shoutout to the YouTubers for having him on the show. The 75-year-old even claimed that he told the content creators it would be removed shortly after being uploaded. Trump just shouted us out on live tv pic.twitter.com/un3W08HnwA — Nelk Boys (@nelkboys) March 11, 2022 While the NELK Boys have the option to appeal the takedown decision, it very much remains to be seen if they’ll do so. Even if they do win an appeal, there’s no guarantee that YouTube will allow the video to return in its previous state, meaning they have to edit some parts to get the podcast back online.

NELK Boys get deserted in Bahamas after being kicked off cruise ship NELK YouTubeThe NELK Boys got kicked off a cruise ship after pranking everyone on board, from the captain to guests, and were quickly deserted in the middle of the Bahamas. To get their 2022 hijinks off to a proper ‘Full Send’ fashion, the NELK crew signed up for a cruise to see how fast they could get the boot. The trip was originally going to be about five days over water but, after just one, they weren’t welcome on the boat anymore. “Whatever you’re doing, your behavior is not allowed on board,” an attendant on the boat told them. But it was all a part of the plan. The NELK collective were speedrunning the time it took to get kicked off the cruise, which included everything from asking about bringing drugs across international waters to trolling guests with insane backstories. NELK Boys kicked off a cruise ship “Are you allowed to j**k off on this boat,” Stephen ‘SteveWillDoIt’ Deleonardis can be seen asking staff before taking off. It was a true Full Send escapade from the moment they boarded their shuttle to the cruise which ended shortly after they interrupted the ship’s captain during a speech. “This is an older crowd [on] this whole cruise,” Kyle Forgeard said. “So we’re going to really try to take advantage of the pranks and f**k with some people.” The night would escalate to include lewd family christmas photos and other passengers calling staff on NELK’s video-taping. But the night would come to an end after the NELK boys heckled the captain of the ship and the following stand-up comics that immediately got the attention of staff. The next morning the cruise directors told them to disembark and were kicked off the cruise in about 20 hours. Then, they faced a bigger problem. They couldn’t leave the port where the cruise left them. “You have not [officially] landed in this country just yet,” a port authority official said. “That’s why you’re stuck here.” The NELK crew were excited to get 2022 started off with a bang and it looks like they accomplished what they set out to do.

NELK Boys confront former editor 905 Shooter to explain why he was really fired YouTube: Full Send Podcast / Instagram: 905shooterRoughly two years since the popular NELK Boys YouTube collective fired Jason ‘905 Shooter’ Pagaduan from the group, founding member Kyle Forgeard confronted him on the Full Send Podcast to explain why he was dropped. The NELK Boys has rapidly grown into one of the biggest social media groups on the internet. Though just as their popularity began to skyrocket, they fired 905 Shooter from the team. At first, the reasoning behind this decision was due to “creepy behavior.” The former editor was cast aside after multiple women came forward with stories of “unwanted, repetitive, and unsolicited videos.” Almost two years on from their separation, however, and NELK figurehead Kyle Forgeard spoke with 905 Shooter in the latest Full Send Podcast episode. It turns out, it wasn’t just these stories that got him fired. Before 905 Shooter arrived for the podcast, Forgeard began listing off the reasons he was pulled from the group. Mainly, it boiled down to two issues in particular. “It was 50/50,” Forgeard explained. “Work ethic, and what he did.” While “d*** pics were the final straw,” it appears the editor may have been on his way out before that incident came to light. “He was f***ing lazy,” the NELK Boys founder stressed. “He kind of took things for granted because he came on at an early level. He didn’t even know how to edit videos before he joined NELK. I taught him how to do subtitles.” Although he understood why he was fired, 905 Shooter soon joined the podcast to try and defend his actions. “I was put into a position where I was talked into becoming a different person,” he argued. “Sort of groomed into becoming a frat boy, binge drinker type where it felt cool to be part of that lifestyle.” As a result of these changes and more appearances in front of the camera rather than behind it, the former editor began to “lose [his] passion,” resulting in a lack of productivity.

Though even if the door was open, the former editor admitted he no longer feels like the NELK Boys is the right fit “for [him].”

NELK Boys Bahamas cruise ends in disaster after being kicked off in 1 day Instagram: nelkboysYouTube stars the NELK Boys were kicked off of a four-day cruise in the Bahamas after spending just one night on board. The NELK Boys have never been afraid to overstep the line for the good of content. Their pranks when they first started to blow up set new standards for what YouTube fans want from prank channels. More recently, NELK content has taken a more adult turn towards partying, alcohol, and general debauchery, and it’s often landed them in hot water. Shortly after posting to Instagram calling for two fans to join them on their cruise on November 27, they posted once again to say that they had been removed. Early on November 28, the official NELK Boys Instagram confirmed that they had been kicked off the cruise, with footage and images from their final moments. It’s not made clear why exactly they were kicked off, though that will likely be revealed in a YouTube video down the line. What is included in some of the clips already posted online is the entire NELK Boys cohort being escorted off the cruise by security, as well as some angry-looking people berating them before being kicked off. View this post on Instagram The NELK crew clearly weren’t too upset about being kicked off, but made sure to keep their fans updated on Instagram. Viewers shouldn’t have to wait long to see the YouTube video and find out exactly why they were kicked off the Bahamas cruise, but it’s no doubt one fans will want to watch.

NELK Boys clap back after getting roasted by “irrelevant” Jimmy Kimmel Twitter: NELK BoysAmerican television host Jimmy Kimmel took a jab at YouTube group the NELK Boys after their Donald Trump interview was taken down, causing a response from the group. Over the last few years, the NELK Boys – a collective of creators from Canada – have made waves on YouTube due to their wild and trend-setting videos of them traveling and pranking others, earning them over 7.2 million subscribers on the platform. The group has attracted many big names such as Dana White, Mike Tyson, Jamie Foxx, Candace Owens, and more, with former U.S. President Donald Trump being their latest interview. However, the interview has since been removed from YouTube, with the platform citing that the episode violates their “misinformation policy” in regards to claims made about the 2020 presidential election. Jimmy Kimmel goes after NELK On March 14, Kimmel took a shot at the group when he went on to call them a “small group of YouTubers” while simultaneously mocking their interview with the former president. “Mara lardo has been making the rounds he was on a podcast hosted by, this is really something, a small group of YouTubers known as the NELK boys,” Kimmel said in his Monday night monologue. He went on to repeatedly roast the group by adding, “It doesn’t matter who’s interviewing him…it can be George Stephanopoulos or three doofuses who brought a 12 pack of hard seltzer along with them, he’s gonna answer the same.” The NELK Boys respond In an Instagram post uploaded by Kyle Forgeard, NELK’s co-founder, the star went on to clap back at Kimmel, calling him “washed up” and “irrelevant.” View this post on Instagram “This “small group of YouTubers” has way more viewers than you, buddy. Kimmel used to be way funnier but now is just washed up and irrelevant,” he said. Forgeard went on to expose Kimmel by claiming that the “only reason you [Kimmel] even get any views is cause Disney owns your show so youtube forces it onto everyone’s home pages.” The post has now over 730,000 likes, with many allies of NELK backing them up in the comments.

NELK Boys are making their own NFT and it’s already doing crazy numbers Instagram: NELK BoysThe NELK Boys have announced that they are making their very own NFT, and it’s already proving to be a massive hit among fans and NFT enthusiasts. The NELK Boys, and the Full Send brand itself, make up some of the most divisive personalities on the internet. The pranksters have earned millions of dollars and followers through their over-the-line content that sees them pulling pranks on random strangers and living a fast-paced partying lifestyle. While their content has continued to evolve, the NELK Boys haven’t followed in the footsteps of other influencers, though, and started advertising random crypto coins and NFTs that they’ve been paid to promote. Instead, they’re making their own. On January 17, 2022, NELK posted across their social channels, including in a video published to their main channel, that they were going to launch their own NFT. Read More: Top 10 most expensive NFTs ever sold – In those posts, they urged followers to join the Discord server for the Full Send NFT. If there were any qualms over the sheer popularity of NELK and the Full Send brand, however, those were quickly silenced. At the time of writing (around 12 hours after the announcement was made) the Discord server has over 121,000 members and counting, putting up numbers many NFT projects could only dream of. Those familiar with NELK and Full Send will know this isn’t anything out of the ordinary for them. No longer able to monetize their YouTube channels, NELK started to produce Full Send-branded merchandise, which quickly became a huge hit among fans. Their drops all sell out incredibly quickly, and they earn around $70m a year from merch alone. If their NFT follows suit — and all signs are pointing towards it doing so — this could prove a game-changer for both NELK, their fans who buy in, and influencers on a wider scale.

NELK Boys arrested while filming YouTube prank Nelkboys / FreepikMembers of the popular YouTuber group NELK Boys have been arrested after filming another prank for their channel in Mississippi on May 14. The popular group of pranksters, known as the NELK Boys, have built a massive online following with over 4 million subscribers on YouTube for their entertaining videos. NELK are known for pushing their pranks to the limits but, while filming content for their latest video in Mississippi, it seems as if they went a little too far. Many members of the team were subsequently arrested on May 14. One of the group’s earliest members, Jesse Sebastiani revealed on NELK’s Instagram that many of the channel’s frequent stars such as Kyle Forgeard, SteveWillDoIt, and Salim had all been arrested along with their crew of cameramen. “Alright boys, I got some sh**ty news. We were on our way to Tampa, Florida and we were shooting a video on our way there, and the boys all ended up getting arrested,” he explained. He then started to list all of the members that had been arrested for the prank, adding, “We’re on our way to the police station right now, gave the lawyer a call, we’re going to try and get them out.” However, the popular content creators were released only a few hours later and a brief video of them getting out was shared on NELK’s Twitter. https://twitter.com/NelkFilmz/status/1261135529946624001 While it remains unclear what exactly their latest prank entailed, it clearly did not impress the local police department after resulting in the entire crew being brought to the station. The popular YouTubers had revealed in one of their latest uploads that they were embarked on a road trip around the US, with pranks planned for some unexpecting people along the way. One of their first pranks during the road trip was on TikTok stars Bryce Hall and Taylor Holder, where they ironically tricked them with a fake police arrest at a party.

NELK Boys announce first upload break for 15 weeks – reveal epic Season 2 plans YouTube collective The NELK Boys have revealed their content plans for ‘NELK season two’, after announcing that they will be taking a short break from uploading. The NELK Boys are a YouTube channel made up of founding members from around Canada, infamous for their daring pranks that always have stunning production levels. Their ‘Full Send’ motto – which means that they are going all in on a video – has become synonymous with their fanbase. Yet, those uploads are going to be taking a short break before returning in a big way. 600In the most recent upload, Bowling in Other Peoples Lanes, the collective revealed that they return to making videos on August 2, when they will finally go through with their ‘Spin the Globe Challenge’ on Instagram, after taking a three-week break. As the name might suggest, the Spin the Globe Challenge will consist of the NELK boys spinning a globe, stopping it and traveling to whichever place that they land upon. Of course, with this being NELK, the preparation will be massive as fans in the Toronto area will be able to get involved once they announce the recording location of the start to the challenge. However, for fans that are desperate for a YouTube upload, they will have to wait a little bit longer as they won’t return until August 5th. The collective revealed that decision in their upload, stating: “Us, and the entire team, we’ve decided that since we want to bring you guys the best possible content, we’re going to take a three-week upload break. Think of the last 15 weeks as a season one of NELK.” Explaining the reasoning behind their small break, they added: “The amount of work that goes into a video every Monday is insane. We need to take a little break – go back home to Canada, spend some time with our families, see our friends and shit like that.” Yet, the group again emphasized that what can effectively be known as season of two of NELK will return in August and that fans won’t want to miss out on their uploads. (Timestamp at 2:29 for mobile viewers in video below) Until that point, viewers will have to suffice with rewatching videos like their Coachella security prank and their fake pilot in an airport. Considering season two is set to kick off with a huge bang, it’ll be interesting to see just what the NELK boys have got in store.

Nelk Boys are making $70 million a year from merch alone Nelk Boys/YouTubeIt’s no big secret that the Nelk Boys are one of the most popular channels on YouTube, but according to a new report, they pull in over $70 million a year – all without any kind of revenue from the site. If you’ve spent any time in YouTube’s trending section at all, you’re probably aware of the Nelk Boys. Their prank videos rack up millions of views, but despite their popularity, they’re not on the best of terms with the site. YouTube is not a fan of the Nelk Boys’ rowdy party or prank videos, some of which may or may not be entirely legal, and in 2020, they demonetized Nelk’s channel. This didn’t slow the Boys down at all, though. Since they don’t rely on ad revenue to make their money, they didn’t miss a beat. According to a report from the New York Times, Nelk relies entirely on merchandise sales and subscription services for their 8-digit annual income. “Every video, we’re swearing, we’re doing some stuff that could be questionable or illegal, we’re making sexual references or drug references,” Nelk head honcho Kyle Forgeard told the Times. “So we were making no money on YouTube at all.” Nelk’s new Happy Dad Seltzer is a great example of how the channel actually makes it’s money. Since it was released in early June 2021, it has been almost impossible to find — with rabid fans queuing up outside of California liquor stores for a chance to score some, after rapidly wiping out the online stock. It not just novelty alcoholic beverages fans are snapping up, either. There’s a full line of your standard Nelk merch, their exclusive Full Send line, and the Full Send subscription services, where fans can get notified about the latest drops before anyone else. Even before the Nelk boys got technically demonetized, it wasn’t like they were really raking in the dough from YouTube, anyways. Back in November 2020 after the Google-owned video site started to try and crack down on them, they reportedly only received a paltry $0.23 (23 cents) for over 15 million video views during the month. Finally, the Full Send crew has also been expanding their business empire into the realm of cryptocurrency, even going to far as to bash other content creators for promoting what they call “scam” coins. $70 million with no help from YouTube is certainly impressive, but it might just be the tip of the iceberg if things keep going Nelk’s way.

NELK Boys allegedly copyright strike YouTuber claiming to expose “casino scam” Instagram: nelkboysA small YouTuber with just 11 subscribers has accused the NELK Boys of hitting one of his videos with a copyright strike, claiming that it “exposes” the group for being involved in a possible gambling scam. NELK have long been very open about their gambling, with a Full Send brand that makes millions and living the lifestyle to match. They’ve done many sponsored videos with various gambling companies and, if these accusations are accurate, have now started their own. But, YouTuber Harrison alleges that when he posted a video alleging NELK Boys’ involvement a possible “casino scam,” he was hit with a copyright strike. nelk copyrighted my video exposing the fact they own https://t.co/VTGTXPdPEu on a channel with 11 subs lmao… pic.twitter.com/CU4FkCKs8Z — Harrison (@harris8n) September 25, 2021 On September 24, a YouTuber with the username ‘Harris6n’ published a video to YouTube titled ‘NELK’S LATEST CASINO SCAM,’ accusing them of owning privatebet.com and its subsequent social media channels.

The CS:GO Lotto case saw gaming influencers promoting a skin-gambling site to their viewers, without disclosing their involvement in the project. More recently, multiple FaZe Clan members were removed or suspended from the org following the Save the Kids crypto scandal, in which they were investigated for a ‘pump and dump’ with a crypto token they had been advertising. NELK have not yet responded to Dexerto’s request for comment.

NELK Boys and David Dobrik hotbox a garage with leaf blowers Stevewilldoit/David DobrikThe humble garage has traditionally been a haven of sorts for pot enthusiasts, but David Dobrik and the NELK Boys took things to the next level with an insane leaf blower-powered hotbox. Usually when you think of a hotbox, something like the image of Cheech and Chong rolling around in a smoke-filled car comes to mind, but these YouTubers created more of a green-fueled sauna for their stunt. NELK member Stevewilldoit posted a video of the experiment/Grateful Dead initiation ritual on Twitter and almost as soon as they start up the blowers, there is a blanket of smoke covering everyone in the room. The crew seemed to have rigged up common industrial air blowers to hold copious amounts of the devil’s lettuce above the devices’ air intakes and lit them with blowtorches once the fans were on. As any stoner and/or student of thermodynamics would realize, this turned each of the blowers into basically a leaf-smoke machine – and very effective ones at that. Steve, in the purple shirt, and the NELK Boys sitting on the floor felt the full force of the blast but it didn’t take long at all for the room to fill up and most likely give everyone filming, including Dobrik, an epic contact high. One of the “victims” put it best when they cried, “Oh my god, it’s a f**king flamethrower of w**d!” https://twitter.com/stevewilldoit/status/1234223772569227265?s=20 Eventually, things got so thick in the garage people had to evacuate for safety reasons. Yes, it was only marijuana, but it acts like any other smoke would on your body if you breathe too much of it. After the smoke circle got out of the garage, which almost looked on fire due to the amount of smoke billowing out, they had to use fire extinguishers to put out the massive flaming bowls of pot on top of the blowers. Finally, Steve emerged from the now smoke-filled house fully-baked to cheers, and most likely with an incredible desire for some water and a few bags of Doritos.

NELK Boys address Andrew Schulz drama as long-awaited podcast finally releases Screenshot via Twitter: NELK BoysThe NELK Boys have, finally, released their long-awaited podcast episode with Andrew Schulz after an 8-month-long wait, and they’re open to doing another. Whenever a podcaster says they have an unreleased episode in the back catalog, it doesn’t take long for fans to clamor to see it. Well, in the case of the NELK Boys, that came about when their manager John Shahidi admitted that they had an episode with Andrew Schulz recorded that had yet to see the light of day. The podcast was filmed back in November 2022 as Schulz joined that YouTube collective for an hour. In his podcast addressing things, the comedian said he felt as if he was being “trolled” by Steiny and, at one point, thought he was meant to be interviewing the YouTubers. Some clips surfaced too, showing Schulz and Steiny clashing at times – even though it didn’t expand to a full-blown argument. They’ve since responded, wanting to make things right and film a second episode with Schulz. Though, the previously unreleased episode has now been made public. NELK Boys address & release Andrew Schulz podcast from 2022 The podcast has been released on Twitter, given SteveWillDoIt appears in it and that can’t happen on YouTube. It also came with a message from Kyle Forgeard, explaining that they were bummed to hear that Schulz felt things went wrong. “With this one, it was our first time having a comedian on. We kind of wanted to treat it like a boys-only episode where it’s our internals and we just chill, bro down, and talk about whatever is going on in the world and we thought that would be a good way to do Schulz,” Kyle said “This is the first time where a guest didn’t enjoy themselves on the podcast which, honestly, sucks for me to hear that because we obviously want every guest to have a good time and we were excited to have Schulz on.” Kyle added that he always wanted the episode to out and to not have to wait over eight months to put it out, but not everyone wanted it released. Though, once Schulz urged them to release it, they decided to do so. “Schulz, I think we’ve got to run it back after this one! We have to, we have to, we have to, people want it,” he concluded. It remains to be seen if that’ll happen, but, it appears as if any potential beef has been squashed for now.

NELK Boys accidentally leak Mike Tyson’s number on Twitch stream Instagram: miketyson / Twitch: nelkboysSocial media stars the NELK Boys were left red-faced after they accidentally revealed former pro-boxer Mike Tyson’s phone number on a Twitch livestream, with over 26,000 live viewers. The NELK boys are a comedy YouTube group who have become known for their chaos-causing pranks, something that has secured them a fanbase of over 6 million subscribers on their channel. However, the risky nature of their content has been seen to come at a cost, and in November the team revealed that they had only made $0.23 across 15 million YouTube views, thanks to heavy demonetization. Their escapades have certainly landed them in a decent amount of trouble in the past, having even previously been apprehended by law enforcement at an airport after they planned to attend a political rally. For the month of December on their Twitch channel they are streaming high stakes gambling every day, giving $1000 to fans for every stream. Though things didn’t quite go as expected to when they hosted former professional boxer Mike Tyson as part of their high stakes gambling event. This will be awesome tonight. Make sure to watch the @nelkboys and @miketyson on @Twitch. pic.twitter.com/Qta4vwJM15 — John Shahidi (@john) December 6, 2020 The boys were talking to Tyson over FaceTime, with a screen recording of the call playing live next to the main screen of the stream. As someone else took the phone from Tyson they decided to end the call a little prematurely. Unfortunately, as the call ended it showed the contact page for Tyson that had been open before the boys called him, revealing his number for a good few seconds before it was eventually pulled off the screen. “Oh f**k we just got absolutely faded by Tyson. Oh. Oh my God,” one said as he quickly realised what had happened. “What the f**k is going on?” https://twitter.com/nelkboys/status/1335449594889523200 The pair looked slightly panicked as the chat began to flood with messages pointing out their mistake, though obviously being a livestream it was too late for them to cover anything up. Tweeting a clip to their own page, the NELK boys said “That moment you realize you just f***ing leaked Mike Tyson’s number..” Leaking people’s personal information is against Twitch’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, and has proven in the past to be a bannable offense when Neymar Jr was banned back in November for a similar situation, so it is definitely possible that their account will face the same punishment. The NELK boy’s Twitch account remains active at the time of writing, but fans will be keeping an eye out for a potential ban landing right in the middle of their December streaming event.

NELK boys accused of “NFT Scam” comparable to Cryptozoo scandal FULL SENDThe NELK Boys have been called out by YouTuber Spencer Cornelia for an alleged “NFT scam” involving the group’s Nelk Metacard NFT. NFTs were all the rage several years ago, with influencer group NELK Boys promoting their NFT Metacard as “one of the biggest brands in Web3”. Following the release of the Nelk Metacard NFT in January 2022, the company earned over $23 million in revenue and sold out in less than ten minutes. The company also promised “way more NFTs” after the Metacard’s initial launch. Fans purchased the “Full Send” Metacard NFT with promises of full access to the influencer supergroup’s activities in the real world, as well as the Metaverse. The company also planned to launch further business ventures, such as “Lounges, Gyms, Festivals, Casinos, Restaurants, and more.” The Full Send Metacard NFT also promised users that users would get access to additional products in the form of “Apparel, Virtual Stores, Virtual Festivals, Metaverse Casinos, and Recording Artists.”. Almost two years on from the launch of NELK’s Full Send Metacard NFT, YouTuber Spencer Cornelia has released a video claiming that the NFT venture from the influencer group is an “NFT Scam.” In the video itself, Cornelia speculates that NELK were “merely cosplaying as venture capitalists.” Spencer Cornelia calls out NELK “There has been no signs of any gyms,” commented Cornelia in the video, where he further sets up a precedent for why fans should be wary of “unbelievable” raffles conducted by NELK which are speculated to be staged. Holders of the NELK Metaverse Full Send NFT messaged Cordelia, with promises that the NFT-holders would see some value out of owning one of the digital tokens. However, the promised rewards are seemingly nowhere in sight, with NELK offering its NFT holders a 50% off code for the brand’s supplements. However, Full Send Metacard NFT holders were able to access an event where Snoop Dogg was playing. But, given that the majority of users were outside of Los Angeles. One holder stated: “Yeah unless you live near the event it is not worth going. Especially when 50% of the time no one from NELK is there. (Steve, Kyle, salim, etc)”. Nelk claims to have given away over $250,000 worth of merchandise to NFT holders, with additional benefits such as being invited to sporting events, as well as hiring from Metacard holders. But, Cornelia posits that the returns expected from the $23 million of revenue generated by the purchasers of the NFT have not yet materialized. Claims for equity in parts of the business have also been held up, which could be due to legal reasons, as legislations around NFTs and Crypto begin to materialize. The NFT’s value has decreased by around 75%, according to OpenSea. Given that over 7000 holders of the NFT are “out there, some becoming irate that they have not seen any return from their initial NFT “investment”. Speculation surrounding what NELK has done with the $23 million in revenue earned from the project is rife, as experts reveal that 95% of the digital collectibles are worthless. Cordelia ends the video by claiming that the NELK Boys Full Send Metacard NFT might be comparable to Logan Paul’s CryptoZoo scandal, claiming that the actions by the NELK boys are “potentially illegal”.

Neighbors climb over the fence as angry dispute nearly turns violent TikTok: @katelynpark0TikToker Katelyn Park uploaded a video showing an aggressive neighbor climbing the fence separating their properties when Katelyn’s mother asked him to turn the music down. A viral TikTok video from May 13 has racked up over 1.5 million views after @katelynpark0 shared her family’s encounter with an aggressive neighbor. In the video, Katelyn’s mother can be heard speaking to neighbors behind a wooden fence. According to the caption of the video, the conversation started with Katelyn’s mother asking the neighbors to turn the music down as it was disturbing them. The situation quickly escalated into an argument, during which a male neighbor jumps to the top of the fence and starts gesturing toward the women and shouting at them. A woman from behind the fence eventually pulls the man down, before two other women start climbing the fence at a different spot, shouting at Katelyn and her mother. TikTok reacts to the aggressive neighbors climbing the fence TikTok users in the comments were concerned by the behavior of neighbors from behind the fence and some even suggested getting authorities involved. “My gosh, some people got no respect for others. Call the police,” one user wrote. Another viewer with a similar sentiment commented: “Holly heck. Poor woman.” Other users praised Katelyn’s mother for standing her ground despite the abuse hurled at her. “Your mum is amazing. The way she stood her ground and didn’t let them intimate her in the slightest, oozes strength,” said one viewer. Users were also quick to point out the comical aspect of this not-so-funny situation. “It’s the child asking for another creaming soda, as though nothing unusual is going on,” wrote one user referring to the offscreen voice that asks Kayelyn if they can have another cream soda in the middle of the video. Thankfully no one was hurt as the situation did not escalate.

NELK Boys’ $100,000 donation helps police catch fatal highway shootout suspects Twitter: nelkboysNELK Boys Kyle Forgeared and Steve Deleonardis donated a six figure sum to local law enforcement which, in turn, helped them track down the two main suspects in a fatal highway shooting case. There are few faces more recognizable among internet enthusiasts than the NELK Boys, Kyle Forgeared and Steve Deleonardis. Renowned for their elaborate pranks, the duo have become internet sensations. Their influence extends outside of the virtual realms of the internet, though. The YouTube stars have been pretty outspoken against a new wave of Crypto currency scams that they claim are “disgusting” and born out of greed. Continuing on their path to make a difference in the real world, the duo have donated a six-figure sum to law enforcement in California in order to raise the bounty on two suspected murderers. NELK Boys donate $100,000 to law enforcement TMZ reported that, in response to a fetal highway shootout that left a six-year-old boy dead, the NELK team have donated $100,000 to the Orange County police department in order to raise the reward for catching the two shooters. The incident occurred on May 21, where two armed figures shot and killed young Aiden Leos while his mother drove him to kindergarten. The incident has been described as a “road rage killing.” Read More: Where to buy NELK Boys Happy Dad Seltzer – Disturbed by the news, the duo (who reside in OC) donated $100,000 US alongside their partner, John Shahidi on May 30. The reward for the criminal’s arrest skyrocketed to $500,000. A week later on June 6, the California Highway Patrol confirmed that two suspects had been taken into custody regarding the incident. 23-year-old Wynne Lee and 24-year-old Marcus Anthony Eriz were found near where the shooting happened and are expected to be charged with murder. While the entire situation has baffled critics, the main thing is that the investigation into Aiden Leos’ death has shifted forwards thanks to their contribution. The NELK Boys have not commented on the situation as of yet, but we’ll ensure that this piece remains up to date with the latest news.

Neekolul trolls fans on Twitter pretending she’s banned on Twitch Instagram: neekolulTwitch streamer Neekolul pranked her fans by setting up her profile on Twitter to look like the ‘Streamer Bans’ alert account, before tweeting that she herself had been banned from Twitch, leaving some people very confused in the process. Neekolul is also known primarily for being a streamer who plays games such as Among Us, along with her YouTube content that centers on reacting to weird and wonderful videos and memes to come from the internet. She also went viral back in March 2020 after she made a TikTok to the popular sound ‘Oki Doki Boomer,’ which promptly gained traction on the app. In recent months bans on Twitch seem to have amped up somewhat, with changes to Twitch’s Terms of Service regarding acceptable language and the use of copyrighted content meaning more streamers are at risk of sudden bans than ever. Perhaps this is how Neekolul managed to fool so many of her Twitter followers when she redecorated her account temporarily. Neekolul pranks fans with fake Twitch ban tweet She changed up her display name and image to look just like the Twitch ban bot ‘StreamerBans’ account, the 260,000 follower feed that often breaks the news of a streamer’s suspension. Neekolul tweeted a rather convincing alert that read “Twitch Partner “Neeko” has been banned!” with a matching array of emojis and hashtags, meaning anyone who just took a glance and didn’t read her username would assume it was from the actual account. While some fans clocked on to the prank right away, it wasn’t so obvious for others, with one commenter saying, “I have to say you really got me,” and another saying, “I f***ing fell for this sh*t, I can’t believe it.” I was literally like wait what then I accidentally clicked on the profile and say your page @neekolul then I was like wait am I on the right page and then I check again and I was but I have to say you really got me — Thanos (@Thanosagrape) January 3, 2021 Creators Karl Jacobs and Classify also responded to the joke. However, while the harmless prank was entertaining for her fans, there have been instances of Twitter banning people in the past for impersonating other accounts by switching up their profile picture and display name as it could violate their ‘Impersonation Policy.’ Either way, the popular streamer’s prank definitely managed to fool some people, and her Twitch account remains unbanned at the time of writing.

Neighborhood Karen starts argument over man’s explicit welcome mat TikTok: oh_nia_babyA neighborhood ‘Karen’ said she would pay her neighbor for his welcome mat so nobody in the “family” complex could see it. The neighborhood ‘Karen’ of an apartment complex has violated her neighbor’s welcome mat on multiple occasions, as she’s been caught on his doorbell camera doing so. Not only that, but she attempted to have him remove the welcome mat in a conversation that turned sour. Though the welcome mat allegedly has explicit writing on it, the man has defended his decoration through and through. Neighborhood Karen mocks man by dancing erratically on his doorbell camera TikToker @oh_nia_baby shared a video of a man that recorded his Karen of a neighbor multiple times where she argues with him over his welcome mat including the word “f*ck.” In the viral video, the woman can be seen distraught, saying to the man, “We live in a family environment here… to me, having the f word on your doormat is not respectful to anyone that lives here.” The man then responded, “To me, it’s not respectful of you to touch my property,” as the woman had kicked the welcome mat aside during the first moments of their argument. The neighborhood Karen then began yelling, “I’ll pay you for your mat” before the man called her out for standing in front of his door talking ill about him in previous encounters. As the argument ended, the woman erratically danced in front of his doorbell camera as he told her that she was being reported to the office of the complex. Viewers of the viral video laughed at the way the conversation went down. While others said they would have taken the money for the welcome mat. Many viewers also commented on how funny it was to see the woman mocking the man in dance. Though the man did mention he’d report her to the office, it’s unknown at this time if his welcome mat needs to be removed due to its explicit wording.

Neekolul responds to backlash on $2m apartment tour YouTube video Twitch: NeekolulTwitch and TikTok sensation Neekolul has responded to criticism of her $2m apartment tour video, with viewers accusing her of being ‘hypocritical’ given her political stances. No Twitch streamer has had as unique a rise to fame as Neekolul. Back in March 2020, the Mexican content creator went viral on TikTok for a video promoting Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, and became an overnight success as she gained over 1000 average concurrent viewers on Twitch overnight. As a result of her newfound success, Neeko was able to purchase a brand-new apartment in Dallas, Texas, which she claimed to be worth $2 million. But the video has received some backlash, having since been viewed over 400,ooo times. It has just 4.5k likes, compared to 60k dislikes, at the time of writing, as viewers criticized her promotion of policies like taxing the rich, while simultaneously showing off a $2m asset. The streamer was neither surprised nor disappointed in the dislikes she was getting for the video, and explained that the ad revenue she was receiving as a result of the publicity made up for any unwarranted attention. “I don’t care how many dislikes it has because dislikes don’t do anything,” she said. “I don’t understand why people are like ‘I’m gonna dislike it’ and I could disable the dislikes on it if I wanted to. “But I don’t care, because that video has a lot of views and it also has a lot of ads on it, so at the end of the day I still get something.” The phrase “all publicity is good publicity” springs to mind when looking at other statistics, too. After releasing the video on Jun 1st, Neeko gained 2,000 subscribers in a week: her highest weekly growth since November. It’s not just viewers who have been critical, with fellow streamers believing the apartment isn’t worth the hefty price tag. Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker believes she “literally got scammed”, while Mizkif damned the tour as “some Ludwig clickbait sh*t.” While this apartment tour video has exposed her to a lot of criticism, it’s clear that Neeko isn’t all that worried about it.

Neekolul roasts “toxic” Twitch unban appeals on TikTok Instagram/neekolulThe popular phenomenon of ban appeals is one of the best ways for streamers to get quality content out of their Twitch streams, and a recent TikTok of Nicole ‘Neekolul’ Sanchez going through her unban requests is no exception. It’s not uncommon for streamers and their mods to ban viewers for being too rude, sexual or just plain gross in chat. With the addition of the Twitch “ban appeal” form, previously banned viewers can plead their case and try to earn an unban. As such, streamers have used this as an easy way for more content. Going through waves of these requests, reading what was said and deciding to either unban or not is a great way to get people to tune in. Neekolul decided to do her very own uban appeal stream in the form of a TikTok video, aptly dubbed “Toxic Unban Appeals” – and the result was quite humorous. As expected, a lot of the comments came from viewers being a bit too down bad and making remarks that mods weren’t fond of. For instance, one viewer asked how she could be doing a “savage” stream and not show any cleavage. In the viewer’s appeal, they simply wrote, “Sorry, was a moment of weakness,” which got a hardy laugh from the Mexican-American 100T streamer. Another user banned for talking about Neeko’s “cushions” appealed by claiming they would cease making any unnecessary comments in the future. Eventually, it got to a point where Neeko noticed an interesting trend with all the appeals. “You know what’s funny? People say all these things like, ‘She knows what she’s doing,’ and then when they put in their unban request, they’re like ‘Ma’am I’m completely sorry, I really deeply apologize. That is out of character,’” she giggled. For the most part, Neeko seemed more than willing to let a lot of comments slide and allow users to return to her chat. Still, the amount of people with eerily similar appeals is definitely a bit on the odd side.

Neekolul opens up on escaping abusive relationship during Twitch rise Instagram: neekolulTwitch star Nicole ‘neekolul’ Sanchez has opened up about being in a seven-year abusive relationship that ended during her rise on the streaming platform as part of a “big step into [her] healing process.” Neekolul shot to fame off the back of a viral TikTok in 2020, but she had quietly been working on building a platform for herself on Twitch since 2017. Behind closed doors though, Sanchez was trying to escape an abusive relationship while dealing with the pressures of internet stardom. The 23-year-old has opened up on the “emotional, mental, and physical abuse” she received from a long-term partner, dating back to when she was 15. Details included her partner holding her at knifepoint, assaulting her numerous times, and “taking advantage of [her] financially.” “We were breaking up and getting back together every other week. He would strategically hit me behind my head to avoid visible bruises. Some hits would slip so I would get a small bruise on my cheek or arms,” she said in a March 13 document. Neekolul also said attempts at trying to raise the issue with her partner’s parents and the police fell on deaf ears. “As a scared teenager it was hard, and in the end I felt a weird need to protect him. “I told the police at one point that I wanted to press charges with picture proof and text messages. The officer’s words still ring in my head that ‘you are too young to be going through this, you should rethink if you want to do this.’” Sanchez said she was forced to take anger management classes after her abuser claimed they were the victim. She was also arrested by police after one specific incident. “After all these years of receiving abuse, I’m the one who ends up getting in trouble. “The judge took into consideration my situation, everything I had been through, and saw I wasn’t a dangerous person. He even removed the automatically applied restraining order…which I think shows people recognized I wasn’t the one causing problems.” https://twitter.com/neekolul/status/1370958551368265731 She opened up now as part of her “healing process,” and to encourage other victims of abuse to speak up. The streamer has received an outpouring of support from friends and fans on Twitter. “I felt like I needed to talk about my experience as a victim of abuse in hopes that abuse is taken more seriously,” Neekolul said. “Not speaking out about my story, seeing how times I fell silent, dug me into a deeper cycle of mental pain, and at the end of the day I deserve to live in peace and I won’t let anyone invalidate me ever again.”

Neekolul opens up on leaving 100 Thieves & her content after TikTok fame Instagram: neekolulNeekolul spoke with us about the rumors surrounding her exit from 100 Thieves earlier this year and what life is like after her meteoric rise to TikTok fame in 2020. Neekolul became the internet’s “it-girl” back in 2020, thanks to the super-viral ‘Okay Boomer’ video she created in support of former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. The short clip morphed into a massively popular TikTok trend and skyrocketed the 25-year-old to online fame almost instantaneously. It wasn’t long before she joined 100 Thieves later that year — but in 2023, Neeko parted ways with the org. She was beset on all sides with speculation as to why she left the group, and merely claimed that her decision to leave was brought about by a difference in agreements on “terms, conditions, and xyz.” We got the chance to speak with Neekolul about her split from 100 Thieves at VidCon Anaheim — and she says her choice to part from the org was merely a “business decision,” nothing more, nothing less. Neekolul says 100 Thieves exit was simply a “business decision” “I don’t think it was anything crazy,” she began. “When I first joined 100 Thieves, for the first two years it was primarily in the [global health crisis]. Actually, I would see them very briefly for maybe two or three days once a month, and almost not at all for the first year.” “So, I think when I finally moved here in LA, a lot of things were changing, and me leaving was more like a business decision, rather than anything transition-wise that was hard-hitting or anything. I’ve always been kind of doing my own thing, especially because I lived in Texas. It’s just not the same experience as living here in LA.” Neekolul “uninterested” in speculation surrounding 100 Thieves exit She also spoke about the speculation she received following her exit from 100 Thieves… and it’s safe to say she’s not worried about all the rumors from netizens pointing to a possible falling-out with the group. For Neeko, she’s feeling confident after “saying what she needed to say” about the situation when it first happened and isn’t bothered by the dithering of online trolls. “Being in the gaming space for such a long time, people leaving and coming, going and returning, I definitely see that play out, and I can’t really control what other people think,” she said. “So, I kind of said what I needed to say immediately. I was just like, ‘Hey, it was a business decision. It’s nothing more, nothing less.’ And if you want to speculate, at the end of the day, I feel like a lot of the comments that I saw were most of the people that already didn’t like me. I just kind of said what I needed to say. Other than that, I was very uninterested in what people thought.” Neekolul “open” to joining other organizations We also asked Neeko if she has any interest in joining up with any other organizations… and although she didn’t name any names, she says she’s open to the right opportunities. “I think first and foremost, my business comes first,” she told us. “I think if it makes sense on paper, and if it makes sense chemistry-wise, I would definitely be open to whatever amazing opportunity comes my way.” “I can’t think of [a specific org] off the top of my head, but I think a lot of factors come into play — business, chemistry, how we get along, and stuff. I think overall, as long as that all makes sense, I wouldn’t be opposed to that.” Neekolul says being a role model is “a lot of responsibility” — but “nothing she can’t handle” Being a massively popular creator does come with some measure of responsibility. We asked Neeko what it’s like being a role model for other women and girls online — and although she says it’s “intimidating,” it’s nothing she can’t handle. “It’s definitely intimidating because I feel like I don’t wanna ever do or say the wrong thing,” she admitted. “I don’t want to let anyone down. But overall, it’s very gratifying. I feel like when I put something out, I’m hoping that I can inspire other people. It’s a lot of responsibility, but I don’t think it’s anything I can’t handle.” From political content to cooking videos & “staying true” to her roots Since her rise to TikTok fame, Neekolul has made good use of her stardom, creating successful Twitch and YouTube channels (on top of her massive presence on TikTok, where she boasts over a million followers). Although her earlier content was entrenched in politics, she has now transitioned into other avenues — more specifically, cooking. Neeko’s culinary expertise is just one facet of her overall presence as a creator, but it’s something she’s looking to balance alongside her beliefs and other content, all while staying true to her roots. “I definitely want to pivot more into my personality and my cooking content, just because, being politically affiliated, as we have seen overall with anyone being politically affiliated — especially like in the gaming scene on Twitter, in the streaming space — it is definitely a double-edged sword,” she began. “Like, you think you’re doing the right thing, advocating for things. But you also get a lot of harassment, you get a lot of trolls. And I feel like I’m pivoting somewhere in that middle line between being myself, my content, and my cooking, but also being very vocal as an influential person. I’d like to be very vocal in things I believe in, and juggling all that. I think that’s kind of like my goal. Because, at the end of the day, from where I started, those are my true beliefs and my roots. And I always wanna stay true to that.”

Neekolul hits back at claims of being jailed for assault neekolul, YouTubeTikTok star and 100 Thieves member Nicole ‘Neekolul’ Sanchez has responded after information came to light that revealed the entertainer had been arrested on assault charges in 2018 and sentenced to anger management training. Neekolul has become a massively popular face in the online world, skyrocketing to fame after uploading her viral “Okay Boomer” video in March 2020. Now, Neeko boasts a massive following on her Twitch channel, where she streams in partnership with esports organization 100 Thieves — but it seems that some are trying to topple her new success by bringing up her past. https://twitter.com/neekolul/status/1234601269127458817?s=20 An article published in late July claimed that Neeko had been arrested on assault charges in May 2018 by the Fresno police department for dealing corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant. Court records used in the article (which Dexerto were also able to verify) show that Neeko was 20 years old at the time of her arrest, and claimed that her bail was set at $25,000. That’s not all; the piece also claimed she had been sentenced to a year in prison, as well as anger management training. However, Neeko argues to the contrary, as revealed in a series of direct messages to YouTuber ‘Scarce’ via Twitter. In her response to the article, she denied ever having been sentenced to prison, and claimed she only had to take 12 anger management classes as a result of the incident. She likewise stated that she had been in an abusive relationship at the time, and had struck her abuser as a preemptive response to their own violence toward her. “The article is talking about an incident in which there was an argument where I hit the person who was abusive to me,” she said of the matter. “When I hit him, it was a reaction to what was happening in the moment and how I was feeling — I knew it was escalating to where he was going to hit me, and I was genuinely angry and hating him for the way he treated me.” “I was hoping to put that relationship behind me, but I felt like I needed to address this,” she continued. The article detailing Neeko’s arrest came just days after her signage to 100 Thieves, marking a huge success for the star who has slowly but surely climbed her way to social media fame.

Neekolul marks anniversary of viral “OK Boomer” TikTok with sequel Instagram: neekolulNicole Sanchez, better known as Neekolul or simply the ‘OK Boomer girl’, has celebrated the anniversary of the viral TikTok with a sequel every bit as special as the original. Since that first post that took the internet by storm, it’s fair to say that Neeko’s life has completely spun on its head. She has managed to go full steam ahead in the world of content creation, as a partnered Twitch streamer and member of top esports organization 100 Thieves. While she has managed to become a popular and successful content creator in her own right, the original ‘OK Boomer’ video continues to be what she is predominantly known for. https://twitter.com/neekolul/status/1234601269127458817?s=20 Neeko picked up a huge number of fans as a result — as well as critics thanks to the political opinion shared — and it helped skyrocket her career. So, what better way to celebrate than bringing it back for a reboot? Many of the best films have incredible sequels, and Neeko is following suit. In a video posted on March 2, 2021, Neeko recreated the video, this time with the hashtag #AOC2024 latched on to support New York politician and occasional Twitch streamer Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. In a follow-up tweet, she wishes a happy anniversary to OK Boomer Girl before thanking everyone for “changing her life.” Happy 1yr Anniversary to Ok Boomer Girl!!! Thank You everyone for changing my life 💙 — neekolul •ᴗ• (@neekolul) March 2, 2021 At the time of writing, not even a day later, the post has picked up around 90k likes across Twitter and TikTok, as well as over 16,000 retweets. Fellow 100T member Froste was incredibly supportive of Neeko, calling it “the sequel we needed, but not the sequel we deserve.” Now the question is how she can one-up her infamous video. Will there be a trilogy? A new ‘OK Boomer’ sound to work with? We can only guess, but it’s great to see Neeko having fun and bringing back the video that helped her blow up.

Neeko picks perfect date for Valkyrae and it’s a farmer YouTube: 100 ThievesTwitch star Neeko picked the perfect date for YouTube streamer Valkyrae during one of 100 Thieves’ game shows – and to her dismay, it was an “organic” farmer. Being the content churning machine that they are, 100 Thieves don’t miss when it comes to rounding up a bunch of content creators and bringing entertainment for viewers to watch. This comes in many forms, be it their awkward yet authentic TBH w/ JHB interviews or the plethora of games they make their creators play, the organization knows how to bring the amusement. Another of these is the newly introduced “Red Flags” game, a show in which some of 100 Thieves’ most popular content creators take turns setting each other up with the best and worst dates imaginable. Neeko picks the perfect date for Valkyrae As the game indicates, they all took turns giving each other the best and worst dates possible, making sure that even though the date seemed like the perfect person, they had one glaring red flag… Until they reached Valkyrae, in which the 100 Thieves members (specifically, Neeko) didn’t hold back. At first, Neeko described Valkyrae’s fictional date as possibly the perfect person. Someone who is “really in touch with their feelings” and is “sure about everything” having to do with her. But then, it quickly took a turn, as even though it was still one of the “good qualities” for a date, Neeko described him as an “organic farmer” stating: “I know you love health, everything with having to do with being healthy and non-GMO products.” This, of course, was a jab at Valkyrae’s RFLCT skincare product that garnered the YouTube streamer tons of backlash. In response, Valkyrae shrugged it off and laughed, appreciating the light-hearted joke. While dating an “organic” farmer isn’t something that might be in Valkyrae’s future, she joked about her concerns in the dating world due to a hilarious comment from LilyPichu about her voice acting capabilities – something that recently landed her a role in Funimation’s Tribe Nine anime.

Neekolul and 100T’s JhbTeam sit down for world’s most awkward interview Twitter: 100 ThievesTikTok star and 100 Thieves member ‘Neekolul’ sat down for an interview with the org’s intern, ‘JhbTeam,’ resulting in one of the most hilariously awkward pieces of internet content we’ve seen yet. [jwplayer ZXB9LNVP] Neekolul skyrocketed to fame earlier this year after her “Okay Boomer” TikTok took off across social media, becoming a viral sensation almost overnight. Since then, Neekolul — real name Nicole — has solidified herself among the elite of the net’s content creators, and has signed with none other than esports giant 100 Thieves in yet another huge move. The organization has since started a new interview series with its intern, JhbTeam, whose unique style resulted in a downright hilarious conversation between himself and Neekolul for its pilot episode. https://twitter.com/neekolul/status/1234601269127458817?s=20 The first video in the series, titled “TBH with JHB,” tasked Neekolul with answering a series of awkward questions, such as: “How does it feel to have this much of a following on a platform?” Neekolul’s forthcoming answer was something that no one expected: “It’s cool. You know, you can say almost anything and someone’s gonna like your tweet. You could say like, ‘I like to eat s**t,’ and people are like, ‘Yeah!’” However, Neeko didn’t have an answer for “Why do you have a boyfriend?” leaving Jhb giving her an humorously intense staredown as she scrambled to address the random question. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCeVA6fHECI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link That being said, Neeko was totally down to turn the tables and ask Jhb a few questions, one of which included: “If you could have any superpower, what would it be?” It seems that Jhb’s response of, “Flying, so I could come see you,” didn’t go over so well, with the star giving an understandable “WTF” look at his reply — which senior producer ‘rufhaus’s’ editing skills made into a truly funny moment. Amid the ensuing hijinks with Jhb, Neeko did admit that her rise to internet stardom wasn’t a piece of cake, with many criticizing her for reaching fame so quickly and doubting her abilities (although that was about the only serious moment throughout the entire interview). Introducing “TBH w/ JHB” an interview show starring our social media intern, Jhb, who created this concept as part of his internship project. Welcome @neekolul as the first guest! (Watch this or we fire @JhbTeam) pic.twitter.com/jnx0Hx00Hc — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) October 15, 2020 While fans probably didn’t learn anything totally new about Neeko in this video (aside from her favorite primary color, which is blue), it’s definitely worth a watch for viewers looking to have a laugh as they watch their favorite influencer scramble for answers in the face of a gut-bustingly awkward interview session. Who can we expect to see on TBH with JHB in the future? Although Neekolul was just the first guest on 100 Thieves’ new show, Jhb did let fans in on what other guests could be making an appearance in his famously awkward series later on. “Basically, people that are close in the gaming scene/community and are recognizable to fans,” Jhb revealed. “I want to make sure the guests know who I am in a sense of not making them uncomfortable, and that they know how awkward I am.” That’s not all; he even dropped a few potential names, most notably CallMeCarson, Jordan Fisher, Hitchariide and even 100 Thieves founder, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag. “We honestly have no idea who to have on next,” he added. “I definitely want to have Nadeshot on the show, as I see it as one of the most iconic ones that we’ll make, but as of right now, we have no idea. I mainly want to have 100 Thieves creators on, but in the meantime, no idea.” Who knows who will be featured on the show next? Not even Jhb himself is sure; but that just means that the possibilities are endless.

FaZe cut ties with NBA pro Meyers Leonard over anti-Semitic slur and Twitch ban Twitch/meyersleonardMiami Heat NBA pro and FaZe investor Meyers Leonard is facing backlash after uttering an anti-Semitic slur during a game of Call of Duty Warzone on Twitch. On March 8, the 29-year-old power forward was streaming Warzone on his Twitch channel, playing alongside notable names such as Mason ‘Symfuhny’ Lanier and retired COD pro Tyler ‘TeePee’ Polchow. He then got frustrated when dealing with a sniper. “Don’t be a f**king coward. Don’t f**king snipe me, you f**king… **** b*tch,” the NBA pro said. Me laughing at this was fucked up, and was me being ignorant to what the word means and it’s impact. Not okay. I try my best to keep my stream friendly to those who stop in. I learned and I’m sorry for laughing. https://t.co/QyoWpUDYpM — TeeP (@TylerTeeP) March 9, 2021 Later on in the broadcast, Meyers received a phone call allegedly from his wife, causing him to end the stream early. “Yo, my wife needs me, she just called me,” Meyers told his chat and teammates. “I gotta roll, brother. GGs.” It’s unclear if the phone call was actually from his wife or someone within his organization wanting him to end the stream. The VOD has since been deleted, but clips of the incident have been shared across social media. https://twitter.com/wassupharold/status/1369363385595346944?s=21 While Leonard, the Heat, and Twitch have yet to respond, TeeP has since apologized for laughing at the remark, writing he was “being ignorant to what the word means and its impact. Not okay.” FaZe Clan cuts ties with Leonard The slur has already landed Leonard in some hot water. FaZe issued a statement condemning his comments and cut ties with him. Elsewhere, Origin PC dropped him as an official sponsor. “A comment was recently made by Meyers Leonard that does not reflect the values or views of ORIGIN PC. We have decided to cease our working relationship with Meyers as we look into it further,” they said. Additionally, SCUF also decided to end their relationship with Meyers, issuing an identical tweet to the one made by ORIGIN.

Jeffree Star claims NBA players made death threats if he revealed sexual relationship Youtube, Jeffree StarOne of YouTube’s biggest influencers, Jeffree Star, has claimed that NBA players have threatened his life, if he were to reveal public details about their relationship. Star, who has 16.4 million subscribers on YouTube, previously said they had three NBA players in their DMs in March 2020. At the time, there was a social media frenzy to try and discover the possible identity of the players. In the interview, Star said that they had a code where they would “never out” the NBA players and rappers that had linked up with Star. However, the influencer couldn’t help but put it out there that “the sex was great” but insisted the names “would stay invisible”. Star says NBA players “threatened to murder me” “A lot of NBA players and rappers, yes, but I have a code where I’m never going to out them,” Star said. “A lot of them have threatened to murder me if I ever say their names. The sex is great. The names are invisible” Dave Portnoy, a podcast host asked, “How do they reach out to you?” Star replied “They DM me. If you had the password to my phone, you’d sh*t yourself” Portnoy then asked about the risk players are making by messaging Star if he decided to out them. However, Star countered that he’s “never outed anyone and they know I’m trustworthy” Topic starts at 55:08 What else did Jeffrey Star say? The celebrity discussed being canceled in 2020, their comeback, that notorious Kanye rumor, as well as Star’s obsession with pizza. Jeffree Star also joked about the rumor last year that he was having an affair with rapper Kanye West. Star said he “played into it” because it was so ridiculous and joked “he’s too short for me, I’m not into that” When asked about their longevity in the influencer sphere, Star said he was “like an internet cockroach and I just think I’m loveable”. When asked about his return to social media, Star insisted he had never really left. Star said, “I never really stopped. I took a break, a little break, to really really evaluate life but I always keep it moving”. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1410402589334667265?s=20 The YouTuber said one thing they had learned was to not always respond to feuds and criticism and “keep their f***ing mouth shut”. Towards the end of the interview, Jeffree Star also offered his thoughts on new TikTok celebrities and who he thinks will become household names a few years down the line. Why was Jeffree Star canceled? In 2020, Star suffered setbacks including a loss of subscribers as a number of scandals built up earlier that year. This was in part due to his close relationship with fellow YouTuber Shane Dawson as well as other controversies and drama involving Tati Westbrook and James Charles.

NBA star Ben Simmons gets private H&M meeting shut down after streaming it on Twitch H&M / WikimediaAn internal meeting between H&M staff was inexplicably streamed on Twitch, on the channel of NBA player Ben Simmons no less, before the company discovered it and swiftly canceled the meeting. Simmons, Philidelphia 76ers’ Australian point guard, is also a popular Twitch streamer. He streams both casually and for business opportunities, as well as taking part in gaming tournaments. It’s unclear why he or a member of his team were present in the H&M management meeting on April 7, but somehow, it was being livestreamed on his channel with over 50,000 followers. Clearly, this was not intended to be a public meeting, as the host quickly shut things down when they were made aware. Presumably, it was a complete accident, likely when attempting to record the meeting, the ‘go live’ option was selected. In any case, it made for a bizarre situation for all involved. H&M’s regional logistics manager, Pascal Fassler, broke the news to the meeting’s members, and all those watching on Twitch. “Unfortunately, I just received from customer service information, that some of us – we don’t know yet who – is livestreaming this video, and unfortunately, we have to stop the meeting immediately. “I’m very sorry for this. We wanted to present you an insight, but I think we need to have control [over] who we are talking to.” The Twitch stream was promptly ended, and the VOD and all clips have now been removed. Ben Simmons has not yet commented on the situation, but it’s possible it wasn’t him directly, and rather a member of his team trying to record the meeting for him. Viewers who caught the stream before it was shut down worried that sensitive information could have been included, such as H&M planning and strategies for future projects. Thankfully, much of the remnants of the meeting appear to have been successfully wiped from the internet, with no trace left on Simmons’ channel.

NBA star Kyrie Irving mocks Celtics fans during heated Twitch rant YouTube: Jimmy Kimmel Live/TwitchNBA superstar Kyrie Irving roasted Celtics fans who trolled him during a GTA V Twitch stream, after he came under attack from trolls telling him to “go back to Cleveland.” As a hero of the basketball court, Kyrie Irving has become one of the world’s most renowned NBA players. After being named 2011-2012’s Rookie of the Year, he went on to be a 7-time NBA All-Star and was proclaimed NBA Champion in 2016. However, there have been some tough moments. When he announced he was leaving the Boston Celtics for the Brooklyn Nets in 2019, it sparked a long and heated feud between Irving and Celtics fans. Having some free time following the postseason contention, Irving decided to take some time to livestream GTA V on Twitch. Yet, it wasn’t long before his past came back to haunt him and he was trolled by Celtics fans. Kyrie Irving mocks Celtics trolls on Twitch A number of Celtics fans trolled Irving in his chat during his livesteam on May 10. However, he wasn’t going to take their hate sitting down and proceeded to fire back by doing a shrill impersonation of them. “‘Oh Kyrie what are you doing at home?’ That’s how y’all sound to me.” Irving said. “‘What are you doing at home are you going to Cancún? Where are you? Are you at home? Kyrie you suck.’ Go to bed.” His impressions didn’t stop there. Mocking the trolls’ comments in a high-pitched voice, he continued: “‘Go back to Cleveland, oh my God, Boston hates you, oh my God,’ that’s how y’all sound to me — cockroaches.” “‘Go back to Cleveland, oh my God, Boston hates you, oh my God.’ That’s how y’all sound to me, cockroaches.” Kyrie sounds off on his trolls during a GTA Twitch stream (h/t @GothamGrant) pic.twitter.com/qmtafbB8Uz — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) May 10, 2022 This encounter is yet another heated example of the ongoing dispute between Irving and Celtics fans. It follows Irving being hit with a $50k fine from the NBA for giving the middle finger to heckling Celtics supporters back in April. However, he was able to laugh away the hate in his livestream. He even responded to calls for him to use his face cam by saying he would make the change for a mere $5 million. Hopefully, this won’t deter Irving from returning to stream on Twitch. Yet, it’s clear that his dispute with Celtics supporters is far from over.

NBA player gives perfect Dr Disrespect imitation on stream meyersleonard / Dr Disrespect TwitchMiami Heat center Meyers Leonard pulled off an incredibly impressive imitation of Twitch streamer. The NBA is filled with some of the most physically talented people in the world. While Leonard popped off for his former Portland Trailblazer team in the 2019 campaign, he’s also been increasingly growing his Twitch stream on the side. Leonard has been a prominent crossover name in the world of streaming and the NBA. He stamped his investment into FaZe Clan in early 2019, while also repping a pair of custom sneakers during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA-caliber “yayayaya” But if all that wasn’t enough a clip reemerged in the LiveStreamFails subreddit on August 26 that showed Leonard ready to dethrone the Two-time with an impressive take on the “yayayayaya” call. The clip starts out with Leonard taking a deep breathe before pounding a whole bottle of water to get his vocal chords ready for a championship-level callout. With overly large sunglasses equipped, Leonard filled the next 16 seconds of his stream with a loud and impressive “yayaya” that could rival the Doc’s best attempts. It seemed like the 7-foot Center was running low on breath since the last few “yayaya”s were getting forced out. But having the mental fortitude of an NBA player, Leonard made sure to round out the attempt with a hard flex. The NBA rising talent has shown off natural streaming talent in the past. NBA center and rising Twitch star? His streams mainly revolve around Fortnite games with prominent streamers in the scene, but he’s also been attracting larger audiences because of his natural talent to entertain. In his August 20 stream, Leonard could be seen decked out in his NERF gear with the Fortnite NERF Rocket Launcher in hand shooting at his weasel plush named Rhett. While the shot might not land in many highlight reels, it’s a great example at how well Leonard’s personality easily fits into the entertainment life of a Twitch streamer. Going by his imitation of the Doc, it seems like Leonard is well on his way to having a successful career as a streamer, unless he prefers the fame and success he’s enjoyed so far in the NBA.

NBA star Anthony Davis joins Nuke Squad as groups fifth member YouTube: Nuke SquadLos Angeles Lakers star player Anthony Davis announced he’s joined Nuke Squad and made an appearance at their L.A. mansion to play some Warzone. While Anthony Davis is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, he’s recently been a free agent in the gaming market. As a huge gamer and hardcore fan of Call of Duty though, it makes sense he wouldn’t last too long on the market. Now, the former NBA champion has announced he’s joined the up-and-coming FaZe crew Nuke Squad as the fifth member. Anthony Davis joins Nuke Squad Nuke Squad member FaZe Swagg showed off the crew’s new Los Angeles mansion back on May 15, which is decked out with gaming setups and even a backyard basketball court. AD was invited over to their streamer house for the big announcement where he shot hoops with the guys and even fired up some Warzone, showing off his impressive FPS skills. The 29-year-old delivered the huge news himself on June 17, declaring he officially joined the content crew. Later that day, Swagg had the NBA star on his Twitch stream and gifted him a massive diamond Nuke Squad necklace to celebrate the announcement. Swagg said that the pendant gifted to AD is “way bigger than ours.” Being that Anthony Davis stands at a massive 6’10”, they probably looked to get the biggest pendant they could afford so it would fit him just right. Now that the Lakers star is part of the FaZe family, the official FaZe Clan Twitter account gave him a shoutout and gave an even better look at the pendant. As Anthony Davis hunts for his second NBA championship next season, he’ll do it as a member of the Nuke Squad.

NBA 2K23 developers aren’t stopping with Dr Disrespect: They want Jake Paul YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulRonnie2K largely operates as the face of the world’s biggest basketball series and in an interview with Jake Paul, the pair discussed how a collaboration was previously in the works for NBA 2K23. Jake Paul has been on quite a journey in the sports world in 2022. From locking in a boxing match with MMA legend Anderson Silva to throwing out the first pitch at a Miami Marlins game, the young man seems to find a new way to keep the world’s eyes on him at all times. While he has yet to touch the world of basketball in any meaningful way, Ronnie2k has made it clear that ‘The Problem Child’ is welcome to make an appearance in the biggest basketball sim in the world whenever he has the time to do so. Ronnie 2K reveals that Jake Paul was supposed to be joining NBA 2K23 In an appearance on Jake’s podcast ‘BS w/ Jake Paul‘, the young fighter spoke with Ronnie about how the devs had previously planned on adding him to the game, but that time constraints related to his boxing career put a pin in it for the time being. “If that first fight would have happened like a month ago, I think you would have had it in your calendar to be in [Los Angeles] this week,” the Digital Marketing Director said. “But anytime, Jake. It’s not an easy process to pull that R.B. up and scan somebody, but we’ll make it happen.” While Jake’s role hasn’t been specified yet, his co-host DCUT joked that if his friend does make it into the game then he should automatically take over former NBA pro Nate Robinson’s rating since Paul knocked him out in a boxing match back in 2020. Only time will tell if the crossover ever comes to fruition, but given Ronnie’s enthusiasm for making it happen and the ongoing trend of involving influencers in the series, it certainly seems likely that the younger Paul brother will be hitting the virtual hardwood at some point in the future.

NBA player Gordon Hayward booted off Dr Disrespect’s Apex Legends stream by wife NBC Sports / Dr Disrespect, TwitchEven basketball pros aren’t exempt from marital duress, as seen when professional basketball player Gordon Hayward was booted from a game of Apex Legends with popular streamer Dr Disrespect by his wife. A clip from the Doc’s stream went viral, after the Two-time teamed up with Hayward for a few games of the popular battle royale, Apex Legends, on February 18. While the two had a memorable time arguing about Hayward’s height, the Boston Celtics player was quickly booted off the stream by his wife, who claimed that watching her husband play video games made her life “pathetic.” Hayward’s interaction with his wife over the mic quickly made its way to mainstream media, and even ended up on ESPN’s ‘High Noon’ talk show, where the hosts discussed the merit of Mrs. Hayward’s reaction to the stream. While host Mina Kims took offense to Mrs. Hayward’s “pathetic” comment, Hayward later uploaded a video to Instagram explaining the situation, where she clarified that her statement was just a joke. “It was a joke when I said, ‘How pathetic is my life,’ watching him play video games,” she stated. “Don’t be so offended by things. Your life is going to be so miserable if you’re offended by everything people say.” The Doc himself appeared to be rather nonplussed by the interaction, merely smirking as he played a clip of ‘High Noon’s’ recap of the broadcast for his stream later that week.

NBA 2K Twitch streamer under fire for mocking Make-A-Wish Twitch: GirlGamerShay[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]Popular Twitch streamer and NBA 2K player ‘GirlGamerShay’ has come under intense scrutiny after mocking the Make-A-Wish foundation during a recent live broadcast. The Make-A-Wish foundation, a nonprofit organization, helps grant the “wishes” of children from 2 and a half to 17 years old with terminal illnesses, and is widely known for wrangling high-profile celebrities for wholesome meet-and-greets with the sick youngsters. A charitable organization responsible for bringing happiness to terminally ill kids, Make-A-Wish has received ample praise for its mission since its founding in 1980 — but one Twitch streamer mocked the Foundation during an August broadcast. GirlGamerShay was in the 2K lobby when she took shots at the org. “Yo, what the f**k is that ‘Make-A-Wish?’” she asked, before shouting, “‘I’m gonna go to Florida! Let’s wish for that!’ ‘Let me make a wish because I am sick.’ Oh my god, man.” Making fun of people who are terminally ill and have a life threatening disease… wtf is wrong with her😭 https://t.co/T9NuqRH3vE — NBA 2K22 News (@2KInsiderr) August 26, 2020 Needless to say, Shay’s comments received a slew of backlash from viewers and fellow streamers alike, including high-profile personality LosPollosTV, who once held the record for Twitch’s longest continuous live stream. “Idk who tf this is… but f**k this b***h,” he said of the clip from her stream, which quickly went viral across social media. “Idc if u get some clout you’re a fuckin weirdo,” he continued. “Making fun of a f***kin’ Make-A-Wish kid? Just delete your whole s**t…” “I have no words man, makes me sick to my stomach,” another commenter chimed in. “Man, wtf is wrong with people?” I have no words man makes me sick to my stomach man wtf is wrong with people — ????????? (@Homer2104_) August 26, 2020 Shay has since published an apology, claiming that she did not know what the Make-A-Wish foundation was at the time of her stream. However, some internet sleuths have found evidence to the contrary, replying to her apology post with a screenshot of her commenting, “Respect” in response to a the 2K team’s involvement in one child’s “wish” in May of this year. you dont know what make a wish is?? pic.twitter.com/vog4rhDMfg — NBA 2K22 News (@2KInsiderr) August 26, 2020 The streamer has since released several concerning tweets that some feel could allude to harmful behavior, writing, “Thinking about doing something I should do. GG. Y’all won’t ever see me. Y’all got it.” https://twitter.com/GirlGamerShay/status/1298694613948076035?s=20 “Already got a f***ed up family,” she tweeted. “What’s left for me.” https://twitter.com/GirlGamerShay/status/1298697932942774272?s=20 Thus far, Shay has yet to update fans and critics as to her condition, hearkening to a similar scenario regarding the backlash around streaming star Alinity Divine, who admitted that the hate she received after tossing her cat over her head made her consider suicide. LosPollosTV has since retracted his original tweets calling out Shay. Stay tuned to Dexerto for more on this developing story.

NBA 2K League pros criticize Ninja for “lame” response to poll vs oLARRY2K Bucks Gaming – Twitter / Ninja – TwitchA simple poll for best esports moment for the ESPYS became heated after several NBA 2K League players criticized Tyler ‘Ninja‘ Blevins for encouraging fans to simply vote, instead of encouraging fans to vote for oLARRY2K. ESPN has been running a poll on Twitter in an effort to crown the ‘best esports moment’ and the current matchup is Ninja and Marshmello’s victory at the 2018 Fortnite Pro-Am against Timothy ‘oLARRY2K’ Anselimo and his return to the 2K League. Both moments are very impressive, but given the context of Larry coming back from a shooting on August 28 where a gunman targeted a Madden tournament, many fans are rooting for him. It’s time for the final @ESPYS vote for best #esports moment! Will it be No. 11 @oLARRY2K’s return to the @NBA2KLeague? Or No. 13 @Ninja and @marshmellomusic’s win at E3 @FortniteGame ProAM? Vote here on Twitter! More info here: https://t.co/QKrnXBo5VM :round_pushpin: @CapitalOne — ESPN Esports (@ESPN_Esports) July 9, 2019 Larry was hurt in the shooting but he didn’t let it stop him from competing and he was able to recover from the injury and compete in the 2K League. He was picked in the inaugural draft for the 2K League but was found in an horrific situation when he was shot four times during the Madden event. SportsCenter did a feature on him detailing his full story that is worth checking out for more insight into the situation. In case you don’t know about @oLARRY2K, I recommend taking a few minutes to learn about his incredible comeback. @SportsCenter @JenLada @NBA2KLeague @CavsLegionGC pic.twitter.com/PqFffWwJcQ — Jeff Eisenband (@JeffEisenband) June 24, 2019 After the shooting, he learned Bucks Gaming, his 2K League team, would not be bringing him back but he ended up being picked up by Twolves Gaming, where he was then traded to Cavs Legion. Through physical therapy and using a new grip for his controller, he was able to return to the 2K League. His story has been inspiring which is why so many of the players have taken offense with how Ninja has responded to the poll. Ninja was way behind in votes but sent out a tweet on July 9 asking fans who love Ninja, Marshmello, and Fortnite to vote for him. After realizing who he was up against, he reworded the tweet, asking fans to just simply vote. Just realized who I am up against. Honestly I dont wanna win against him. Just at least vote — Ninja (@Ninja) July 9, 2019 Many 2K League players didn’t like how he handled this and called him out on it. “I can’t believe Ninja and Marshmello are in the lead to win,” Mavs Gaming player MambaMo tweeted. “That’s actually sickening…. ‘At least vote’ .. who are we fooling?” I can’t believe Ninja and Marshmello are in the lead to win. That’s actually sickening…. “At least vote”.. who are we fooling????? — 〽️:dart: (@MambaMo_) July 9, 2019 “I’m seeing right through this….” wrote Cavs Legion player SavageDoWerk. “If you didn’t want to win you should [have] just said vote for Larry, lame.” I’m seeing right through this…. if you didnt want to win you should of just said vote for Larry, lame. — Savage (@SavageDoWerk) July 9, 2019 “Ehhhhhhh,” tweeted Echo Fox Madden pro Joke. “Just Vote?” How about ‘vote for oLARRY2K?’” It didn’t end there as several others had their doubts with the sincerity of Ninja’s tweet. “Just realized who I am up against. Honestly I don’t wanna win against him . Vote for @oLARRY2K “ Would of been a Better tweet — Albano :flag-al: (@_oFAB) July 9, 2019 The last day of voting wraps up on July 9 and it’s still close enough that either finalist could end up on top.

YouTube streamer goes viral after being bullied by NBA 2K players YouTube: NoLimitJay / NBA 2KAn NBA 2K streamer and YouTuber went wildly viral after a clip surfaced from his broadcast where he had to deal with some ruthless bullies in the ‘park’. The park is NBA 2K’s PVP location, where players can take their ‘MyPlayer’ character and join up in casual scrimmage matches against others, and can rank up by winning. Players often take these matches very seriously, as young streamer NoLimitJay found out the hard way, as his random teammates hurled insults at him relentlessly. However, unbeknownst to him, another NBA 2K YouTuber, TrulyAngel, had happened upon the livestream, and captured the whole thing. Posting the footage on October 13 to his Twitter page, Truly Angel explained, “I join a random streamer and hear this. I’m sorry but I’m dying.” The clip quickly racked up over 100,000 likes and 33,000 retweets, earning it over two million views in the process. I JOIN A RANDOM STREAM AND HEAR THIS. IM SORRY BUT IM DYING :joyful: …. AYO :person_facepalming:♂️ LMAO….. pic.twitter.com/hk1845zLAT — Tʀᴜʟʏ ᴀɴɢᴇʟ :baby_angel::skin-tone-2: (@ImTrulyAngel) October 14, 2019 People were very sympathetic towards the young player, who handled the whole situation well, barely retaliating but defending the insults towards his mother particularly. Fellow YouTuber YaBoyEJ revealed that he was making a funny video version of the clip to help bring more exposure to NoLimitJay. I didn’t know this kid follow me… @Nolimitjayvip good job for standing up for your mother lil bro, I’m a make a funny vid on this and tell everybody to follow u in the comments below… so get ready to get hella followers my guy :joyful: — OTM Gang :zombie:♂️:green_heart: (@YaBoyEJ_) October 14, 2019 Fortnite pro Aydan also weighed in, slamming the bullies for their ruthless attack on the young player. Some argued that it was only a game and that trash talk has always been part of the online multiplayer experience, but many disagreed, feeling that the ‘bullies’ had gone over the top in this instance. In the end, the situation has worked out very positively for NoLimitJay, who, thanks to the viral video, has gained over 4,000 new Twitter followers, an increase from only 208 previously, as well as almost an extra 1,000 YouTube subscribers. So in the end, he had the last laugh, while the bullies are probably still struggling to win games in the park.

Navy sailor fired after getting caught making OnlyFans content on ship Zak Blackman/InstagramA British Royal Navy sailor was fired for making OnlyFans content, which had been earning him £20,000 a month from the explicit photos he took on an aircraft carrier. With OnlyFans rising in popularity over recent years, many people have taken to content creation as a way to make extra money. However, if they get caught by their bosses, a lot of content creators choose to resign from their 9-5 jobs as OnlyFans is paying better. This wasn’t the case for former Naval Airman Zak Blackman of the British Royal Navy, who was fired from his position in the British Royal Navy after his superiors found out he was doing OnlyFans content from the aircraft. Navy soldier fired after getting caught doing OnlyFans account Zak, 21, told The Sun he first joined the Navy on March 30, 2020, at the lowest rank. He said it was “really hard work” but added he only raked in about £1,500 ($1902) a month. It was then he started posting the saucy photos of him in his uniform. “They started to take off, and after a few weeks I was earning £20,000 ($25,364) a month from that,” Zak said. As his superiors found out about his side hustle, Zak refused to take down the content because of how much money it earned him. Zak was fired from his position last July, despite rising to the rank of Naval Airman. While he insisted he took care not to post anything that could give away the location of HMS Prince of Wales, he was still dismissed. The Royal Navy told The Sun the matter had been investigated but would not comment further. Zak is now believed to be a millionaire and is eyeing up Lamborghinis. He has also moved into a penthouse in Manchester, England. “I hope in a few years I’ll have enough money to retire,” he said. “The demand for sexy uniform content like mine online is massive.” Zak isn’t the only soldier who has realized the demand for military-themed content on the platform. Former marine turned OnlyFans model Taylor Gunner told Dexerto about her “huge veteran fanbase that loves military content” and lets veteran fans live through the fantasies they had while being deployed.

NBA #1 Rookie DeAndre Ayton Rage Broke his PS4 and Controller After Losing in 2K18 Raging out on video games is something that most people will experience at some point and can result in a thrown controller in extreme cases. When you are 7’1” and over 250 pounds however, that rage-thrown controller is most likely going to break. DeAndre Ayton, the number one overall pick in June’s NBA Draft, had a raging meltdown after losing a match of NBA 2K18 to his teammate. His friend was recording the aftermath and made sure to capture Ayton’s complaints while showing off the unlucky controller. (NSFW language) Even while in a state of uncontrollable anger about 2K18, Ayton managed to express his love for NBA 2K16 and 17. The clip happened in October of 2017 when Ayton was playing at the University of Arizona, before he was officially drafted into the NBA. Although he was not an NBA player yet, the best basketball prospect in the world knew he would be in 2K one day and warned the developers about including him. I hate 2K18 it’s $&%! Don’t ever put me in that &@#%$ game! NCAA rules prevented DeAndre Ayton from being included in 2K18 anyway, though he will be heavily featured in next years version. The number one pick in the Draft will be a 79 overall rated player for the Phoenix Suns when 2K19 launches, with a significantly higher potential rating. Ayton will get to play as himself now, and it is not certain if that will help or hurt his new controller’s chances of surviving.

Why did Abe and Wendy break up? OTV couple Natsumiii and BaboAbe split after getting married on Twitch Twitter: NatsumiiiTwitch stars Natsumiii and BaboAbe broke the internet when they livestreamed their wedding in November 2022 — but less than a year later, the couple have split. Wendy and Abe’s break up has been subject to speculation since. OfflineTV stars and prominent Twitch streamers Natsumiii and BaboAbe took their wedding to the next level in fall 2022, broadcasting their nuptials to over 60,000 fans. Although the in-person ceremony was an intimate affair with some of the net’s top streamers in attendance, the entire world got to sit in on the romantic event and sent their well-wishes to the couple in the form of ‘pogchamp’ and ‘feelswowman’ emotes. The wedding took social media by storm and went viral online… but things took a turn for the couple mere months later. What a lovely couple 💜@Natsumiii, thank you for sharing such a special moment with us and thousands of our closest friends. pic.twitter.com/nASm3hPuav — Twitch (@Twitch) November 8, 2022 BaboAbe and Wenty separate BaboAbe broke the news of his separation from Natsumiii, also known as Wendy, in a tweet on July 31, 2023, just eight months after their wedding. “Wendy and I are no longer together,” he wrote. “Things happened, and I can at the very least say, with confidence, that I’ve done all I can to try to save our marriage and make things work.” Wendy also confirmed on her own stream that they were no longer together, but did not elaborate any further details. Why did Wendy and Abe break up? As a result of both streamers remaining tight-lipped on what caused the sudden and unexpected end to their relationship, fans predictably sought answers. Abe also fuelled speculation somewhat by stating on his stream: “Wendy and I are no longer together. I know that there’s going to be a lot of memes and unnecessary comments, but as I stated in the post, I can at least wholeheartedly say that I, at the very least, truly have done and given everything that I possibly could to make things work. “But you know, sometimes it’s just not possible,” he continued. “I know there’s going to be a lot of you that are wondering what happened, it hasn’t been that long since we got married. …but I do ask that you guys try to be respectful during this time. I’m sure you guys will be able to come to your own conclusions, just based on social dynamics and whatnot.” You can watch the full 12 minute stream here: Although Abe claimed that the “past few months have been really really hard,” he says he’s been taking time to work on himself. “I’ve been getting therapy, which has been kinda nice,” he continued. “I’ve been dieting, working out, and playing a lot less games. I’m in a much better place right now – mentally, emotionally, and physically. I’m ready to kind of just move on with my life and focus on myself.’ Did Wendy cheat on Abe? Whether either of Wendy or Abe were unfaithful is not known. However, due to Abe’s comment that fans will be able to “come to your own conclusions, based on social dynamics”, fans believe that Wendy may have cheated. This is because she has since been unfollowed by all other Offline TV members, and no longer interacts with the group. Abe and Natsumiii aren’t the only couple to have split up after a major live-streamed milestone. Fuslie and Edison Park separated in 2021 after the pair got engaged during Park’s 2019 subathon in a clip that went viral online.

Teaser suggests Logic could have a part in The Last of Us Part 2 Twitter: Logic301/Naughty DogPlayStation players are still eagerly awaiting more details about The Last of Us Part 2 and it appears as if two familiar faces, including popular rapper Logic, will be making some sort of cameo. What is The Last of Us? The original The Last of Us game was released by Naughty Dog in 2013, becoming a huge hit with players thanks to its incredibly emotive and intense single-player experience. Naughty Dog announced, back at the PlayStation experience during E3 2016, that a second game was in the works and the type has been building ever since. However, details surrounding the new title have been pretty scarce, to say the least. New Last of Us characters teased However, it looks as if a hint about new characters in the game has been dropped by the game developers themselves – sparking speculation among fans. On April 11, Neil Druckmann, Vice President of Naughty Dog, sent out a tweet praising the work of rapper Logic and actor Travis Willingham – stating that he had a lot of fun “brutalizing” the pair, sparking theories about the pair appearing in-game and possibly having a role to play.

Interestingly, one of the first videos he uploaded was a ‘let’s play’ episode based on The Last of Us – so it’s clear that Logic is a fan of the Naughty Dog franchise. Nevertheless, there has been no confirmation for either Logic or Naughty Dog about the rapper’s appearance in-game, or if he and Willingham were working on another project for the game studio.

National Cheeseburger Day: Best deals at McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King & more Unsplash: emanuel ekstromPlenty of restaurants are giving away burgers for a much lower price on National Cheeseburger Day. Here is a list of places participating in the September 18th deal. National Cheeseburger Day isn’t just another day — it’s a celebration of one of America’s most enjoyable sandwiches — the cheeseburger. The cheeseburger first originated in 1924 when Lionel Sternberger slapped a slice of cheese onto a plain beef burger while working at his father’s sandwich shop in Pasadena, California. Fast forward almost 100 years, and the cheeseburger has its own day on September 18 to commemorate its beginnings. Luckily for those who enjoy one of the tastiest and greasiest sandwiches ever created, they’ll be able to buy one for a fraction of the price at selected restaurants. Here is a list of where to find the best cheeseburger deals! McDonald’s A McDonald’s single cheeseburger usually sells for a rough estimate of about $2 plus tax in selected locations. There are also daily meal deals that include a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink for a decent price of around $10. However, for National Cheeseburger Day, McDonald’s is giving away double cheeseburgers for just $0.50 each. To be able to participate in the deal, customers must order the double cheeseburger on their McDonald’s mobile app. There is also no purchase necessary. However, each customer is eligible for only one $0.50 double cheeseburger. Wendy’s Getting a cheeseburger for under $1 is almost unheard of, but Wendy’s knows what their customers like. So from September 18 until the 22, they’re giving away Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for just one penny… yes, that’s right — one penny. Customers become eligible for the Wendy’s National Cheeseburger Day deal by ordering through their mobile app. Burger King Well, there can only be one crowned king in the business, and Burger King already has their stamp on it. Not only is Burger King offering customers who are part of their Royal Perks rewards program a free cheeseburger, but they’re also giving away the sandwich for a lower price on multiple days. Though one must be part of the Royal Perks rewards program to be part of BK’s National Cheeseburger Day deals, it’s worth the signup, as the fast food restaurant will be offering a free cheeseburger with any purchase of $1 or more on September 18. Oh, but it gets better. On September 19, Burger King is giving a free Whopper Jr. with cheese with the purchase of at least $1. And on its last day of celebration, September 20, BK will be giving Whoppers to their rewards members for only $3. When typically, the whopper sells for over $4. Dairy Queen Dairy Queen may be widely popularized by their ice cream and Blizzard selections, but they also know a thing or two about cheeseburgers. So, for National Cheeseburger Day, Dairy Queen is offering a free cheeseburger for customers who make a purchase of $1 or more. To get a free cheeseburger from DQ on September 18, customers will have to order through the mobile app. Only one free cheeseburger per person. Applebees Now it’s no dollar deal, but for those who enjoy dining with a waitress, Applebees has a great cheeseburger deal on September 18. Not only is their deal valid when ordering inside the restaurant, but it is also valid through the mobile app. For those who are interested, Applebees will be offering three burgers: the Classic Cheeseburger, Classic Burger, and Classic Bacon Cheeseburger. With each burger, a customer will get a side of fries for only $8.99. BurgerFi Fewer food combinations are better than a soda and a greasy cheeseburger. Luckily, BurgerFi knows how to serve its customers. So, on September 18, they’ll be offering dine-in customers only, a free signature double patty cheeseburger with the purchase of a Coca-Cola Freestyle drink. A Freestyle drink is a selection of over 100 soda combinations like Vanilla Coke, Strawberry Fanta, Sprite, and more — can you say yummy?! Smashburger Smashburger is famous for its burger options which range from beef to turkey, or black bean. And from September 18 until the 20, all three options will be offered for $5. The offer is valid to any customer who uses code CLASSIC23. Krystal To celebrate National Cheeseburger Day on September 18, Krystal is offering not one, not two, but five cheeseburgers known as a ‘Cheese Krystal’ for $1 each per customer. The offer is valid to customers who order on the mobile app or Krystal’s actual website. Wahlburgers A Wahlburger usually caps at about $14. So, their half-off National Cheeseburger Day deal is pretty reasonable. Though they’ll only be offering half-price burgers on September 18, customers can choose from a selection off of their burger menu. To name a few, there’s the BBQ Bacon Burger, Our Burger, and the Impossible Burger. White Castle From September 18 until the 20, White Castle will be offering a BOGO deal on their cheeseburger sliders — one per customer. To participate, customers must show a cashier the BOGO coupon from the White Castle website.

Nate Wyatt latest to hit Austin McBroom with lawsuit for YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing pay Instagram: itsnatewyatt / YouTube: The ACE FamilyYouTuber Austin McBroom can’t catch a break after being hit with yet another lawsuit over claims of not paying fighters involved in the Battle of the Platforms in June. The YouTubers vs TikTokers event was hyped up as one of the biggest influencer boxing showdowns ever since the trend took off in 2018. Hiring some serious musical talent and conscripting some of YouTube and TikTok’s most popular content creators, the Battle of the Platforms promised to be one hell of a show — and oh, was it ever… for all the wrong reasons. A number of influencers have since come out comparing the event to the likes of Fyre Fest, with others recalling their negative experiences simply trying to watch matches in select seating without being mobbed by fans. Now, a number of creators who boxed in the event are coming out with claims that they have yet to be paid for their time in the ring — and TikToker Nate Wyatt is the latest to come forward with a lawsuit, alongside Tayler Holder. American TikToker and reality TV star Nate Wyatt notably faced off against YouTuber and rapper DDG, with DDG winning their bout by unanimous decision. While Wyatt may have lost the battle, it’s unclear whether or not he’ll win the war of lost wages. https://twitter.com/SFTYNetwork/status/1403882829390487553?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1403882829390487553twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentyoutube-vs-tiktok-boxing-event-1534527 In a statement on Twitter, Wyatt claimed that, in the two months since the event went down, he and his trainers have yet to be compensated for their time. “Unfortunately, this past week, my attorney, Bobby Samini, filed a lawsuit against Social Gloves,” Wyatt wrote, referring to the company owned by McBroom. “It’s been almost two months since our boxing event, and we still haven’t been paid (including our trainers, etc.). Hoping Social Gloves does the right thing and fulfills its obligations to all involved.” News of Wyatt’s lawsuit was preceded by TikTok star Tayler Holder, who issued his own statement regarding the lawsuit against McBroom. McBroom, on the other hand, has sued LiveXLive, claiming that the platform is withholding profits — while LiveXLive called working with McBroom “chaos” in its own $100 million lawsuit against the YouTuber.

#NateRobinsonChallenge goes viral following insane Jake Paul knockout Instagram: Nate RobinsonFormer NBA player Nate Robinson has found himself at the receiving end of an unfortunate meme on Twitter following his humiliating defeat by Jake Paul in a boxing match on 28 November. To the shock of many onlookers during the highly-anticipated fight – which was on the undercard of the Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. exhibition fight – Paul was able to KO Robinson after just two rounds in a brief but devastating defeat for the basketball player. Although Robinson initially started the fight strong and energetic, it didn’t take long for Paul to overpower him. He downed Robinson within the first round before sensationally knocking him out with a powerful punch during Round 2. https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1332901156972945430 As Robinson was floored by Paul’s killer punch, the internet reacted by creating the #NateRobinsonChallenge, which involves people taking pictures of themselves pretending to be knocked out. The savage trend has spread to both Instagram and Twitter, so Robinson might want to stay away from the internet for a while… https://twitter.com/4TheCulture____/status/1332931830132199426 The internet is cold blooded. There’s a #naterobinsonchallenge now, oh Lawd 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂#blowthewhistle pic.twitter.com/JB9apd8rcB — Kameo Williams (@gemsinthegym) November 29, 2020 Even Fox Sports couldn’t resist getting in on the latest internet craze, as they joked that NFL player Cam Newton was getting in on the challenge as he was warming up lying face down on the field.

Here’s a selection of some of the best memes so far: #NateRobinsonChallenge Didn’t see it coming for real 😭 pic.twitter.com/vALvbHPQs7— Styalistic (@ThatsRobBeatz) November 29, 2020 Meanwhile, in an interview following the fight, Jake Paul revealed that after a short break from the ring, he has ambitions to take on some of the biggest fighters in the world. “There’s a long list of opponents that I want,” Paul said. “Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, I’m going to knock them both out.” Paul also claimed that he wanted to fight his own brother, Logan Paul, and Austin McBroom, the latter of whom he has recently been going back and forth in an online feud with.

Nate Hill slams Addison Rae and refuses to apologize for diss track Instagram: natehill / addisoneasterlingAfter facing a barrage of backlash for posting a video of a song, in which he said “there are better girls than Addison Rae” and he “sees hotter girls every day,” FaZe Clan streamer Nate Hill has explained why he won’t apologize for the diss track. Immediately after posting the TikTok video to Twitter, Hill was inundated with a variety of responses, but the resounding response was that the now-deleted tweet – which you can view in our initial coverage – was simply out of line. After Rae herself explained why videos such as these can be hurtful, and a multitude of personalities called him out for it, Hill deleted the tweet, but in a stream later that day he explained why he doesn’t need to apologize for it. After a viewer asked whether he’s going to apologize, Nate simply said “No, I don’t think I owe an apology. I didn’t insult her.” He went on to say: “I don’t think you guys understand. I didn’t insult her body or her looks. You can take the words whatever way you want to do them and mix it however you want to do it.” The overall message Nate was trying to get across was that he doesn’t owe Rae an apology because he doesn’t think he did anything wrong, and that it wasn’t intended to insult or hurt the TikTok star in any way. Elsewhere in the stream, the track was a huge topic throughout, with many of his viewers sitting on either side of the fence in regards to how they feel about it. One viewer also asked whether he would be deleting the track, but he confirmed he wouldn’t because he’s “proud of it.” The Fortnite star also reiterated that he’s not hating on her, but that she’s “selling garbage to children” and that he “doesn’t like the example it sets for little girls.” While many in the streaming world have expressed their dismay at Nate’s track, he doesn’t appear to believe he’s in the wrong and is sticking by his guns, proud of the work he put into the track. Although Rae spoke briefly on the topic immediately after the fact, she’s not requested an apology and it’s unclear yet whether she will speak openly on it again, but she was clearly disappointed that it happened in the first place, and Nate might think twice before uploading anything similar.

Nate Robinson calls out Jake Paul for rematch for ‘bringing his name up’ YouTube: Nate Robinson / Jake PaulFormer NBA star Nate Robinson has called out YouTuber Jake Paul for a second fight after Jake compared him to football star Myles Garrett in an interview. Over the past year, influencer Jake Paul hasn’t slowed down when it comes to his boxing career, fighting several big sporting names and constantly scouting for the next person he could step into the ring with. His August 29 bout with Tyron Woodley is also fast approaching. Jake’s older brother Logan has also cemented his place in the boxing world, and football star Myles Garrett claimed that he would beat Logan Paul if he were to ever participate in celebrity boxing. However, Jake wasn’t convinced, and on the 3 Things to Know podcast revealed why he didn’t think much of Myles’ chances. “Stick to football, my friend,” he said. “I like Myles. I have nothing against him, he’s an amazing player. But you saw what happened when Nate Robinson from the NBA tried to get into the ring. People don’t realize it’s a whole different sport.” Paul and Robinson fought in November 2020, with Paul ultimately taking home the victory with a second-round knockout that has since become a meme. This comment didn’t go unnoticed by Nate himself, and he shared his thoughts via a tweet posted on August 26. “Logan got hands but Myles got way too much power… Jake, since you keep bringing my name up I need my get back, on mommas. #jakevsnate2,” he wrote. Logan got hands but Myles got way to much power…Jake, since you keep bringing my name up I need my get back, on mommas. #jakevsnate2 — Nate Robinson (@nate_robinson) August 26, 2021 While some fans expressed interest in seeing the two stars fight again, others reminded Nate of his defeat the previous time using screenshots from the event. https://twitter.com/BullsGotNext/status/1430990565433241602 With Jake having a long list of people he wants to fight next, it’s not clear whether the pair will step into the ring together once again.

Nate Diaz slaps NELK Full Send reporter in UFC 276 interview over “tweets” YouTube: Full Send MMAUFC fighter Nate Diaz slapped a reporter working for the NELK Boys’ Full Send brand in a post-event interview at UFC 276, leaving the reporter stunned. Shawn Mack is a reporter for Full Send MMA on YouTube, with the Full Send and NELK crew having a strong long-term relationship with the UFC. They have close ties with UFC president Dana White and can often be seen around the octagon, watching the box office events unfold and celebrating their wins. Unfortunately for them, that doesn’t automatically mean that the UFC fighters will love everything that they do, as Mack found out at UFC 276. When the cameras were rolling and Mack started speaking with Diaz, saying that he had “come to check out ‘Suga’ Sean [O’Malley].” Things escalated quickly, though, as Diaz ignored Mack’s prompt to speak about O’Malley and instead took the opportunity to scold the reporter before lashing out. Warning him that he “better watch his tweets” that he had made regarding Diaz’s team, a sheepish Mack simply said “Oh, I know,” before Diaz slapped the microphone in his hand and the hat off of his head. The post many believe to have sparked Diaz’s frustration has been removed, with Mack allegedly making fun of Nate Diaz Academy star Nicholas Maximov in it. Mack has taken to Instagram to respond to the situation though, saying: “I knew what I was getting into when I signed up for it. Never been one to shy away from putting my opinion out there. My first weekend on the job and I got Stockton slapped.” View this post on Instagram While it didn’t look as though Mack got hurt in the confrontation, it may have dented his ego a little. As suggested in his Instagram post, Mack clearly has no desire to let this stop him from pursuing his MMA reporting — but what a way to make your entrance into the space.

Nate Diaz wants Jake Paul fight after YouTuber takes on Anderson Silva YouTube: Jake Paul/ID BoxingNate Diaz is open to fighting Jake Paul after the YouTuber-turned-boxer takes on Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva in his long-awaited return to boxing. After multiple fight cancelations and delays, Jake Paul is finally returning to the boxing ring in October to take on UFC icon Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva in a heavyweight contest. Even though the fight with Silva will be a tricky prospect for ‘The Problem Child’ there are already plenty of pundits and other fighters looking forward to seeing what he does next. And, as a result, there have been links to future fights with the likes of Andrew Tate, KSI, and even Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Former UFC star Nate Diaz is also eager to join that list now that he is free from his contract with the MMA promotion as he’s open to fighting either Jake or Anderson down the line. Nate Diaz open to boxing fight with Jake Paul The Stockton native, who has gotten into a war of words with Jake previously about a potential fight, revealed his excitement for the October event, as well as stepping into the boxing ring himself. “He’s for sure one of the options, he’s doing big stuff, he’s doing big things, he’s got a big fight ahead of him and if he wins that then I’m sure people should be really impressed by it,” Diaz told ID Boxing when asked about the possibility of fighting Jake. “If Anderson does his thing then that’s impressive also, so we got a fight on our hands and I’m looking forward to it.” Timestamp of 1:29 While Jake has said that he wants to fight professional boxers, he is clearly open to fighting MMA fighters still as well, given he’s fighting Silva in October. A fight with Diaz would bring a lot of intrigue, especially given they’ve had a bit of a heated rivalry across social media. Though, we’ll have to just wait and see what happens moving forward.

Nate Diaz sends challenge to Jake Paul amid UFC contract dispute Instagram: Nate Diaz/Jake PaulMMA star Nate Diaz has hinted at potentially fighting Jake Paul in the near future as he’s called upon the UFC to release him from his contract if they’re not giving him fights. In his short time being involved in the world of boxing, Jake Paul has called out plenty of big-name fighters and been involved in many subsequent wars of words with those targets. It’s not just boxers, though, that he’s been calling out. He constantly trades verbal jabs with Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis, and there has been the idea of himself and Logan fighting Nate and Nick Diaz on some sort of super card. While that hasn’t come to fruition just yet, it seems as if Nate is intent on getting his hands on Jake at some point, especially as he’s still locked in a contract dispute with the UFC. The Stockton native hasn’t fought inside the Octagon since June of 2021, but he’s been itching to get back into action as he’s repeatedly called on the UFC to give him another fight. As that doesn’t look like happening, Diaz has seemingly turned his attention to fighting Jake – or at least using the social media star to get UFC’s attention. On June 21, he tweeted a video of Jake knocking out Tyron Woodley in their second fight and called on the UFC to let him out of his contract. “UFC release now please or give me a fight with anyone in July or August. I have bigger sh*t to do,” he said. Ufc release now please or give me fight with anyone in July or august I have bigger shit to do pic.twitter.com/xyYSCBysLs— Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) June 21, 2022 With Nate mentioning August, it didn’t take long for some replies to suggest that he wants to be a part of Jake’s return to action on August 6. While Jake has got a fight date sorted, he hasn’t announced an opponent. Could it be Nate, if it isn’t Tommy Fury? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Nate Diaz knocks out Logan Paul lookalike during street brawl Professional MMA fighter Nate Diaz was recently spotted in a viral clip putting a Logan Paul lookalike, Rodney Peterson, in a choke hold during a raging street brawl. The Misfits x DAZN Series 006 boxing event on April 21 was anything but uneventful, as multiple brawls broke out over the course of the night. Nate Diaz was at the epicenter of a brawl earlier in the night when he threw a water bottle at celebrity Chase DeMoor – who would also be fighting in the ring that night. Then when Chase DeMoor knocked out YouTuber Stevie Knight, another brawl ensued inside the ring when both corners clashed. But the scrappy night didn’t end there. After the event concluded, a spectator caught Nate Diaz on camera in the midst of another brawl, this time out on the streets of New Orleans. However, the man in his crosshairs had viewers looking twice as he resembled internet personality Logan Paul. Earlier that night during the Misfits event, Nate Diaz sparked a brawl after throwing a water bottle at reality TV star Chase DeMoorpic.twitter.com/szX5UvOJGe — Dexerto (@Dexerto) April 22, 2023 Nate Diaz chokes out Logan Paul lookalike In a now-viral fight video, Nate Diaz is seen putting Rodney Peterson in a choke hold while a massive brawl breaks out around him. A few seconds after the hold is initiated, Nate lays an unconscious Peterson on the ground and walks away from the altercation. Peterson is a famed TikTok personality known best for looking like Logan Paul. In fact, Logan Paul met with Rodney late last year to hand-deliver PRIME to his viral doppelganger. Twitter exploded with speculations when the video first surfaced, as many were convinced Rodney was the real Logan Paul. Others thought the scuffle was ironic, seeing as Nate Diaz is set to take on Logan’s younger brother Jake Paul in an eight-round catchweight boxing match later this year

Nate Diaz, Daniel Cormier, more react to Jake Paul beating Tyron Woodley Twitter: ShowtimeBoxingWith Jake Paul’s split decision victory over Tyron Woodley now in the history books, here’s how sporting legends and internet celebrities reacted to the boxing match. After months of anticipation, divisive YouTuber Paul finally stepped into the ring with former UFC champion Woodley. While the two traded their fair share of powerful blows, it was Paul who had his hand raised in the end. A split decision victory in his hometown is how the feud came to a close, at least, for now. A potential rematch could be in the cards already, with Woodley claiming he won the fight. But who was victorious in the eyes of the public? Here’s how various MMA legends, celebrities, and social media stars reacted to the latest boxing spectacle. MMA icons react to Jake Paul beating Tyron Woodley As Tyron represented the MMA community, it’s no surprise countless UFC fighters were tuning in to support their guy. While former Middleweight champ Chris Weidman “thought Tyron won,” not everyone shared that same opinion.” Jake Paul showed he has toughness and won’t quit! Tyron wasn’t active enough, not a bad fight tho. It was activity! Paul was exhausted and when guys are that tired gotta show em the door. Whatever man. Dammit Tyron — Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) August 30, 2021 “Jake Paul showed he has toughness and won’t quit,” hall of famer Daniel Cormier admitted, even after the two had their own back and forth. “Tyron wasn’t active enough,” he explained. “Paul was exhausted and when guys are that tired, gotta show ‘em the door. Dammit Tyron.” “These guys both suck,” fan favorite Nathan Diaz chimed in as only he could, diminishing the efforts of both fighters. How social media reacted to Jake Paul’s win over Tyron Woodley Outside of the MMA bubble, thousands were tuned in around the world to see how Paul would stack up against a legitimate striking threat. “Jake Paul won easy,” popular rapper Schoolboy Q said on Twitter. “MMA fighters should be embarrassed. “Jake Paul does it again,” Lazarbeam said. “YouTuber’s saved boxing,” Keemstar chimed in. Clearly, not everyone was stoked by Woodley’s performance, but with an immediate rematch seemingly in the cards, perhaps he’ll have a chance to make the right adjustments.
