LCS admin stunned by hilarious question thanks to Cloud9’s Sneaky Riot GamesA League of Legends admin was left speechless by a question from Cloud9’s Tristan ‘Zeyzal’ Stidam during the second day of LCS competition. Cloud9 were in action on Sunday, January 27 against 100 Thieves, with both teams searching for their first win of the Spring Split. With their League of Legends match about to start, a hilarious exchange between Zeyzal and teammate Zachary ‘Sneaky’ Scuderi took place, leaving a referee at the LCS Studios in California with a question that certainly isn’t answered in the LCS rulebook. As the admin warned the players that the action would be starting in about 20 seconds, Sneaky reached across the desk towards Zeyzal’s computer, and picked up his mouse. Scuderi then lifted the mouse to his face and licked the bottom of it, prompting Stidam to enquire what he should do from the referee. “Hey ref,” said Zeyzal to the official. “What do I do if a player steals my mouse and licks it, hypothetically?” The admin was clearly stunned by the question, staring at the pair but unable to give any kind of response, simply saying: “Uh…” Sneaky’s mouse-licking antics didn’t seem to affect Cloud9, who were able to secure the victory against 100 Thieves, and move to 1-1 in the LCS. For 100 Thieves, it saw the highly touted squad slip to an 0-2 record after the opening weekend, who will be desperately hoping to right the ship on Week 2 against Golden Guardians and Team Liquid.

LazarBeam reveals he’s making his own FPS game ‘World Boss’: everything we know – Dexerto
LazarBeam reveals he’s making his own FPS game ‘World Boss’: everything we know PlaySide Studios / Instagram: LazarbeamFortnite star Lannan ‘LazarBeam’ Eacott has revealed his very own video game called ‘World Boss.’ The new FPS title is still in early development but here’s a rundown of all there is to know. Aussie content creators LazarBeam and Fresh are collaborating on their own video game project. Melbourne-based PlaySide Studios is heading up development while the two internet celebs seemingly consult throughout the process. Although details are scarce following the joint announcement on January 14, we do have some early intel to go off. From a release window to specific gameplay details, here’s what we know about World Boss from LazarBeam and Fresh. I am making a game. I aint telling you anything yet. I will give the most liked response gets a skin in the game wishlist the game on steam so you can test it with us 🙂https://t.co/H75cbR9Lpm — LAZAR (@Lazarbeam) January 13, 2022 World Boss release date World Boss does not yet have an official release date. While 2022 is targeted as a broad release window, there’s no indication of when it may launch. It’s possible, however, that we see an early access build made public at some stage throughout the year. In fact, Lazar even teased fans will soon be able to test the game before it’s complete. With the Steam listing already live, you can wishlist the game now to get in as soon as it’s playable. Which platforms will World Boss release on? With the announcement of World Boss, just one platform was made official. The FPS title is set to launch on PC and PC alone, at least to start with. Given its visual style and system requirements, it doesn’t appear to be a demanding game. Therefore, we could eventually see a mobile version if it gains enough traction. There’s no telling if World Boss will make its way over to PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo hardware anytime soon. What is World Boss? FPS gameplay details At its core, World Boss is described as a “fast-paced shooter with io and roguelike progression.” But what exactly does that all mean? As an FPS title, players drop into multiplayer matches from a first-person perspective no different from the likes of Team Fortress 2 or Call of Duty. Similar to those games still, an early glimpse reveals key features like a minimap, health bar, leveling system, and an in-game scoreboard. The game features a mix of weapons and abilities that provide opportunities to gain a one-up on others in the lobby. We’ve already seen everything from rocket launchers and shotguns to magnums and assault rifles. While roguelike elements are also in play, there are no specific details on how these systems may work. We could see randomized weapon spawn locations, for instance, or perhaps a leveling path in each round akin to a MOBA like League of Legends. We only have five screenshots and 10 seconds of gameplay footage to go off for now, but we’ll keep you updated here as soon as further details emerge.

LazarBeam opens up on YouTube struggles: “I can’t remember the last day I felt relaxed” – Dexerto
LazarBeam opens up on YouTube struggles: “I can’t remember the last day I felt relaxed” YouTube: LazarBeamLannan ‘LazarBeam’ Eacott opened up about the challenges of being a content creator on YouTube, admitting it becomes your entire existence, and he hasn’t felt relaxed in more than a decade. LazarBeam burst onto the scene during the peak of Fortnite’s success, and he’s been thriving ever since. Not only did he receive an icon skin the game, but his YouTube channel has reached new heights with almost 20 million subscribers. But after appearing in the new Ryan Reynolds movie, Free Guy, along with Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, and other content creators and streamers, he said how it’s wrong for people to think he’s had it easy. LazarBeam explained that people have the misconception that you can wake up, do ten minutes of recording, and send it off somewhere, which isn’t the case. “It’s more of a lifestyle. It’s more like your entire existence,” he told Polygon in an interview. “I can’t remember the last day I felt relaxed. It was probably a decade ago, where I wasn’t stressing about something or the comments people make. I think that is my biggest problem with people’s perception: that it’s easy.” “I would sleep three to four hours a night and work every day, and edit the video, try and come up with something, or [in the] morning, film for five hours, edit for six hours… and then go to bed and wake up and do it again.” LazarBeam isn’t the only content creator to open up about the difficulties they face, too. Ninja admitted he struggles with the “huge pressure” of streaming, while Poki also revealed she worries about taking time off and falling behind. So, it seems like his co-stars, along with other content creators, know all too well how demanding their work can be. They understand his plight, even if the general public doesn’t agree, but he wants to change that.

Lazarbeam explains reason behind his YouTube suspension – Dexerto
Lazarbeam explains reason behind his YouTube suspension YouTube: LazarPopular Australian YouTuber Lannan ‘Lazarbeam’ Eacott has explained why his channel has been suspended by YouTube and also revealed when he should be returning to uploads. While YouTubers can pretty much upload whatever they want, if they want to keep their channel thriving, they do have to follow some stringent rules or face some harsh consequences. In the case of Lazarbeam, who has over 18 million subscribers across his two channels, his main channel was struck down by YouTube on September. While he didn’t explain why right, instead, using his social media to poke fun about having an extended break from the platform, he’s finally opened up. Using his second channel, Lazar, the 25-year-old noted that his suspension stems from a strike on a video of his from earlier in the year. “What happened was, one of my TikTok videos from four or five months ago, there was a clip in it where I’m assuming some kid did something stupid, so I got a channel strike for child safety,” the Aussie explained. He continued: “Like, no kid got seriously hurt, like there’s no lasting damage, it was just a funny TikTok. But, YouTube deemed this dangerous activity by a child.” While the video might have gone against the guidelines, Lazarebeam said that he doesn’t believe the punishment fits the crime but YouTube has a “tough job” and made a call. The YouTuber added that, while he was also hit with a strike in August, that one has been lifted – so he doesn’t have two strikes against his channel, just the one from the TikToks. His suspension is set to end on Friday, October 2nd but given that he’s in contact with YouTube about getting it removed, it could be lifted before then – so he could be back on his main channel in no time.

LazarBeam gets last laugh after triple-pranking MrFreshAsian’s stream – Dexerto
LazarBeam gets last laugh after triple-pranking MrFreshAsian’s stream YouTube: LazarBeam / PixabayPopular YouTuber Lannan ‘LazarBeam’ Eacott was literally rolling on the floor laughing after he trolled MrFreshAsian’s Fortnite stream with not one, not two, but three pranks. The Australian YouTuber, who shares an office with fellow streamer MrFreshAsian, captured his antics on his latest upload ‘Pranking My Friend’s Livestream’. LazarBeam started by logging in to his victim’s Epic Games account on another computer, signing him out of his account in the midst of his stream. Then he went into the settings and deleted all the keybinds that he could. However, MrFreshAsian managed to save his stream even when he was freefalling, replacing the majority of his keybinds before beginning a Fortnite solo match. Lazarbeam wasn’t deterred though, returning the next day with another prank that literally popped off. With a team of accomplices, the Australian filled MrFreshAsian’s streaming room to the brim with balloons. When the popular Fortnite streamer arrived, Lazar offered him a deal – he would get rid of the balloons, but only if the streamer got a victory royale. Lannan didn’t make it easy, batting balloons around the office to distract MrFreshAsian upon every elimination. Yet MrFreshAsian ended up getting his victory, and celebrated in his balloon-filled room. Lazar gave MrFreshAsian a knife to pop the balloons with, but little did he know that the blade would play a part in the final prank. As a trick, Lazar’s friend and fellow YouTuber told MrFreshAsian to pop the balloons again with a knife before they hit the ground, saying it was for TikTok. .What MFA didn’t know was that one of the balloons was a water balloon and when he popped it and soaked himself, Lannan fell on the floor laughing. A perfect 3/3 from Lazarbeam, and a rough day overall for MrFreshAsian. But at least he got that Victory Royale. Let LazarBeam’s latest antics be a lesson; never leave your streaming office unlocked if you share a space with other content creators.

Lawyer stunned by Kohl’s shopper’s outrageous demand after worker saves her from choking – Dexerto
Lawyer stunned by Kohl’s shopper’s outrageous demand after worker saves her from choking TikTok: rebmaselA lawyer has been left stunned by a Kohl’s shopper’s outrageous demand after an employee saved her from choking using the Heimlich maneuver. Being equipped with the basics of first aid is a skillset that may just one day help you save someone’s life… or in the case of this Kohl’s worker, get you sued. Reb, a lawyer who goes by ‘rebmasel‘ online, took to TikTok to recount how she ended up late to a work meeting after encountering an unusual scenario while browsing Kohl’s. To Reb’s surprise, she discovered a woman on the floor demanding help to sue an employee who had used the Heimlich maneuver after she’d allegedly choked. “I have a meeting in an office and it’s like a 30-foot walk away from a Kohl’s,” Reb began, explaining she headed to the store in hopes of killing some time beforehand in an airconditioned space. “10 minutes before this meeting I have to be at and I hear the words that I don’t think anyone has ever said in their entire life in an emergency situation. Which were, ‘Is there a lawyer here?‘” Taken by surprise, Reb answered the call and was led to a small crowd of people gathered around a woman splayed out on the floor. Conscious, breathing hard, and “Looking very upset, very angry,” the woman seemed not in any danger, leaving Reb confused as to why she had been summoned. “So I, okay, get on my knees in this dress, suit pants situation in the middle of a Kohle’s… And I say, ‘Hey, babes? hey, I’m a lawyer. What did you need? What did you need down there?” she continued. “And she said, ‘Hey, I was just Heimliched by that worker over there ’cause I was choking on something, but I wasn’t actually choking and he put his hands on me.” “I look at the guy over there and it was the worker at Kohl’s; David, his name tag. And he’s looking at me like this, like, ‘My bad’,” Reb said. “He’s like a teeny bopper… Okay, maybe 18, 19 years old. And I’m thinking, ‘Oh god.’” Stunned, Reb was left diffusing the unexpected “lawyer emergency situation with Heimlich involved” before her meeting. Viewers banded behind the Kohl’s employee, demanding “justice for David” with one person commenting, “I’d rather be David’s lawyer.”

Lawyer goes viral after accidentally turning on filter during meeting: “I’m not a cat” – Dexerto
Lawyer goes viral after accidentally turning on filter during meeting: “I’m not a cat” Pexels, Sora Shimazaki/ZoomA clip from a virtual hearing on Zoom, in which a lawyer accidentally turns on a kitten filter, has gone viral on Twitter, resulting in millions upon millions of views within only a few hours. With Zoom slowly taking over the everyday lives of workers over the past year, more and more people have been discovering just how versatile the app is – including the many filters you can turn on while using it, which can result in pretty hilarious moments. One place you probably wouldn’t want the filter to turn on, however, is during a virtual court hearing. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to one lawyer during a recent hearing for the 394th Judicial District Court. “I’m not a cat!”” A lawyer logged into a Zoom meeting with a cat filter on and couldn’t turn it off 😹pic.twitter.com/f0KGz3QOG7 — Dexerto (@Dexerto) February 9, 2021 In a clip that has now gone insanely viral on Twitter, Lawyer Rod Ponton is seen accidentally turning on an adorable kitten filter. Unfortunately, neither he nor his assistant can seem to figure out how to shut it off, resulting in some hilarious faces being made with the filter. The best part, however, comes at the end, when the lawyer proclaims “I’m here live, I’m not a cat” – which produces a clear chuckle from the another person in the call. Even the judge seems to be holding back laughter during the whole exchange. The whole incident ended up going completely viral online, garnering 7.5 million views in just a few hours at the time of writing – and it’s pretty easy to see why. Seeing something that’s supposed to be dead serious go off the rails in such a magnificent way will never not be funny. https://twitter.com/JudgeFergusonTX/status/1359202090824966151?s=20 The judge in the meeting even posted online about it, proclaiming that people should always check to make sure filters are off before joining something as serious as a hearing. At the end of the day, however, it’s hard not to feel bad for the lawyer, as he’s clearly trying his best to shut off the filter. Here’s hoping that the next time he joins one of these types of meetings, he follows the judge’s advice and checks twice.

Lawsuit against Jake Paul over “harmful” prank reportedly dropped – Dexerto
Lawsuit against Jake Paul over “harmful” prank reportedly dropped Jake Paul, YouTubeYouTube star Jake Paul is known for the over-the-top pranks and outrageous shenanigans seen in his videos – but one of these antics got him in legal trouble just last year. Jake Paul was met with a lawsuit in 2017, after plaintiff Ellis Barbacoff sued both the YouTuber and Team 10 upon being left with “sustained shock and injuries” from a prank using a train horn. According to Barbacoff, he’d experienced “pain and suffering” due to the prank – but Paul demanded the case be dismissed, claiming that he hadn’t meant any harm by the practical joke. Paul’s lawyers argued a similar case, stating that both Jake and Logan Paul felt “honking a loud horn to get a reaction from people would be funny, but in no way did they intend to cause anyone injury.” In an unexpected turn of events, Barbacoff has since dropped all claims against the social media celebrity two years later, according to a report from celebrity news outlet The Blast. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Um-WBF3u6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThis development follows the exit of Paul’s lawyers over this very case in 2018, with representatives from Loeb & Loeb claiming that the YouTuber had “refused to cooperate” and even “refused to make payments to the firm for their legal services in connection with the case,” per the Blast’s report at the time This wouldn’t be Paul’s first go-round with legal battles, either: the star was similarly hit with a lawsuit in December 2018, after reportedly “destroying” a $10 million mansion he’d used for his birthday getaway. Unfortunately for Paul, he’d recorded his birthday antics in a video for the entire world to see, leaving the rental clause against “using the home for any disorderly conduct” as evidence enough for Pitkin County District Court judge Denise Lynch to rule in favor of the plaintiff’s claim. Paul was later sued for “false imprisonment” in February 2019, after a security guard detained a neighbor who had meant to complain about the YouTuber driving cars at a fast speed down his driveway. Thankfully for Paul, his case from 2017 has reportedly been dropped – but the jury is still out in regards to his other legal battles.

Lawyer admits to affair with his employee at comedy show & instantly regrets it – Dexerto
Lawyer admits to affair with his employee at comedy show & instantly regrets it TikTok/jessicakirsonA lawyer who chose to sit up front at a Jessica Kirson comedy show with his date instantly regretted his decision after admitting to having an affair. Jessica Kirson is becoming one of the most popular comics, having appeared on many podcasts including Joe Rogan‘s JRE. TikTok has played a big role in growing her audience over the years, but that may come back to haunt a certain lawyer. During a show, Kirson was doing her usual crowd work and talking with fans when her attention suddenly turned to a man sitting up front wearing a nice suit, and began conversing with him. After he revealed he was an attorney, the comedian started asking about his date and how long they’d been going out for. It wasn’t long after that his date spilled the beans about him being her boss, much to his chagrin. Lawyer admits to cheating at Jessica Kirson comedy show Without warning, the lawyer confessed that he didn’t want to sit up front, something that made Jessica pry a bit deeper into his personal life. “You’re never going to see these f**king people again,” she said, assuring him that everything was okay. However, he then admitted that he was more worried about social media, because the two were having an affair – something that no one in the club saw coming at all. This even confused Kirson more, because as the lawyer said, he didn’t even want to sit in front and there were cameras directly on him, catching the two in the act. True to her word though, the comedian did end up censoring the promiscuous couple for the video, but only after the attorney ironically revealed he was a divorce lawyer. Of course, it’s still possible the two end up getting discovered due to their voices and if they do, chances are the man may end up having to represent himself.

Lauren Kettering and Madi Monroe explain why they left Not a Content House – Dexerto
Lauren Kettering and Madi Monroe explain why they left Not a Content House Instagram: @laurenkettering, @madimonroeTikTok stars Lauren Kettering and Madi Monroe have unintentionally caused mayhem throughout their fanbases after being suddenly unfollowed by Not a Content House on Instagram. TikTok, like YouTube before it, has followed the trend of forming several “content houses,” where groups of influencers live together under a single roof with the intent of stepping up their content creation game. TikTok itself boasts quite a few of these collectives, from the rival Hype House and Sway House to the Clubhouse and more. However, Not a Content House — an all-female group of TikTokers — has seen two of its biggest members take their leave in an unexpected turn of events. On January 11, TikTok stars Madi Monroe and Lauren Kettering were unfollowed by Not a Content House on Instagram, leading many fans to believe they’d stirred up some drama with the organization. View this post on Instagram However, it seems that the two have actually left the group of their own volition, as explained in a series of Instagram comments they wrote responding to fan speculation. Despite exiting without an announcement, Kettering claimed that she has no bad blood with the org, instead hinting that she has a wealth of personal projects she wants to focus on. “I love the girls always!” she said of the situation. “Just gonna do my own thing right now and working on a lot more projects.” View this post on Instagram It seems like Monroe is decidedly less optimistic about the group, though, as she claimed that an issue with management was part of her reason for parting ways with the House. “Na, no hard feelings,” she said in a comment. “I left ‘cause management was weird. Lol still best friends with all the girls.” “I decided it would be best if I left,” she added in another reply. “But I still love all my girls.” Most fans seem to be confused by Madi’s exit from Not a Content House, in particular, as she was one of its founding members. It appears that things have changed since its inception, though — but Madi doesn’t seem to be holding a grudge against the group, leaving fans more confused than ever.

Surprising channel tops Twitch charts in mid July – Dexerto
Surprising channel tops Twitch charts in mid July L: Twitch, R: BlizzardFrom July 15 to 21, the most popular channels on Twitch were dethroned by a surprising challenger. It was neither a major esports league or event nor any of Twitch’s biggest individual creators that topped the viewership charts for the past week. Instead, the streaming platform has been dominated by Method, who are streaming their progress in the race to claim the world first clear of World of Warcraft’s The Eternal Palace raid on the hardest difficulty, the Mythic tier. Not only did Method claim the most hours watched, but it wasn’t particularly close – Method clocked a massive total of 4.2 million hours, almost double the next most-viewed channel, ESL, at 2.2 million. This week’s Top Twitch Channels: :first_place_medal: @Methodgg :second_place_medal: @ESL CS:GO :third_place_medal: @riotgameshttps://t.co/mgx1ZZ9Clo pic.twitter.com/2KKHJrtjYp — The Esports Observer (@esportsobserved) July 22, 2019 It wasn’t exactly a quiet week elsewhere on Twitch either. The weekend saw some of the world’s best CS:GO teams competing at IEM Chicago, the first event of the Intel Grand Slam Season 3, where Team Liquid hit yet another massive milestone. Over the course of the week, the Europe and Americas Minors for the StarLadder Berlin Major also took place, and the LCS and the LEC – the premier League of Legends leagues that are both streamed on the Riot Games channel – both broadcast on their regular schedule. Meanwhile, the likes of Tfue, shroud, and Ninja all put in shifts on their personal channels. Beating them all, though, is Method’s ‘race to world first’ stream, which kicked off on Tuesday July 16 and has been running almost non-stop ever since. While claiming world first boss kills has always been a point of pride for elite players in World of Warcraft, this year the race has evolved into a much bigger community event, with guilds streaming their progress rather than keeping it hidden. Method are the most accomplished guild of the last several years and the favorites to win the race, and their progress is being broadcast from the TakeTV studio in Germany, where many of their raiders have congregated for the duration. Method themselves spend up to sixteen hours per day taking on The Eternal Palace, and even when they’re not raiding, the Method stream is keeping track of race progress by teams around the world. Method’s dominance of Twitch may not be indefinite, but it could continue for quite some time yet. At the time of writing, though Method and several other guilds are facing the final boss of the raid, Queen Azshara, many are predicting it could still be almost a week before the actual kill is secured and the race ends.

Ridiculous restaurant brawl goes viral after man gets hit with German Suplex – Dexerto
Ridiculous restaurant brawl goes viral after man gets hit with German Suplex Twitter/FightHavenA late-night smackdown at a Whataburger is going viral after everyone in the building started throwing fists following a brutal sucker punch. We have seen dozens of fast food fisticuffs over the years, regardless of the chain. From McDonald’s melees to Waffle House wars and Burger King beatdowns, there’s no shortage of altercations. With so many fights, it’s rare when one really stands out, but do we ever have a supersized scrap for you today. In a video making rounds on social media, an entire restaurant went to war in a spectacular battle royale with cheese. Unlike most videos, this one even seemed to capture what sparked the whole brouhaha when one man hit another guy in the back of the head, resulting in all hell breaking loose. Restaurant brawl goes viral with everyone inside fighting Immediately after the first punch was thrown, a ripped shirtless guy started fighting two dudes at once and soon found himself battling three people – that was, until reinforcements arrived. In a moment, that confrontation exploded into a huge frantic fight with those not throwing fists at least filming or cheering the combatants on. At one point, the shirtless guy even got taken to Suplex City when another man hit him with a Brock Lesnar-style WWE German Suplex. As the battle raged on, another brute picked up his smaller opponent and placed him on a table, only for an even bigger guy to enter the rumble and smash him with a series of body shots. Eventually, the ruckus spilled out into the streets and the video comes to an end. It’s not clear if there were any arrests or what prior beef the groups had with one another, but this will definitely be one restaurant fight video that is difficult to top. Since being posted on June 7, the video has been viewed over 300,000 times with some users praising the outrageous German Suplex in the middle of the scrap.

Larray accused of lying about contacting alleged Tony Lopez victims – Dexerto
Larray accused of lying about contacting alleged Tony Lopez victims Instagram: LarrayPopular TikToker Larray is once again under fire in the aftermath of his diss track “Canceled” that set TikTok ablaze in early October. 22-year old Lawrence Merrit, who is part of TikTok’s Hype House, released a diss track that went viral for mentioning so many different creators and even debuted at No.81 on BillBoard’s Top 100 chart. The lyrics ranged from lighthearted insults like rapping that Bryce Hall has “smelly balls” and James Charles has a big forehead, to more serious allegations. Tony Lopez in particular was called out after allegations that he has been sending Snapchats to underage fans. Already this week, Larray has had to defend himself after some people had called him out for “normalizing child grooming by making jokes about it.” The creator has also now claimed he reached to Tony Lopez’s alleged victims about “Tony Lopez caught a case” line the track. In comments on a TikTok video, he said, “I talked to the girls that were involved in the situations and they were perfectly fine with the lyrics and all laughed at it. The money made from the song was also donated. “Please stop assuming things. Some of you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Sorry for causing you problems. Wasn’t my intention. Just wanted to explain my points and most definitely shouldn’t have brought you into it.” However, a user called Noah said, “I just texted them, not ONE of them was contacted by him, not one… Why are you lying” One of the alleged victims, Celina, also added: “I never received a message from Larray I have never been in contact with larray neither have the other girls like wtf.” View this post on Instagram tiktoker noah texted some of the victims and he says none of them said they were contacted by larray😬 Larray responded to criticism claiming he didn’t know some of Tony Lopez’s alleged victims. He said he’s trying to make it right: “I didn’t know or hear about her. I’ll most definitely be reaching out” “Honestly I understand where I went wrong… no need to lie here just honestly didn’t know about the others. Should have looked into this more. My fault. Period.” It looks as though Celina and Noah are appeased, for now, however, the fallout from “Canceled” could still continue to rock the TikTok world.

Larray calls out Charli D’Amelio, Bryce Hall & more in viral diss track – Dexerto
Larray calls out Charli D’Amelio, Bryce Hall & more in viral diss track YouTube: LarrayPopular TikToker Larray has released a diss track dramatically calling out a huge number of different creators on TikTok and YouTube. 22-year old Lawrence Merrit, who is better known by his screen name Larray, is part of TikTok content creation collective the Hype House. His new track “Cancelled” mentions so many different people it’s almost impossible to count. Several of the creators also feature in the music video, set at “Cancelled University.” Fans are already seriously loving the shade. On Instagram, fans wrote “AS HE SHOULD” and “Stan Larray that’s the only influencer I don’t want to cancel ever.” Who does Larray diss? Bryce Hall is first up. Larray says he has “Smelly balls” and claims he’s only famous because he dated Addison Rae. He also adds that Bryce and Josh Richards bullied Chase Hudson. Other members of the Sway House, namely Griffin Johnson and Noah Beck are attacked too with Larray calling Noah Beck a “thick neck b****, and alleging that Dixie D’Amelio left Griffin because Noah “got a bigger Peter.” Of course, the Hype House gets a mention with Larray saying Thomas Petrou has bad breath and claiming the Hype left when Charli D’Amelio did. Charli doesn’t get off so easy however with Larray referencing the time a video of Charli vaping caused outrage on social media. Tony Lopez in particular is called out after allegations that he has been sending Snapchats to underage fans. Of course, the sister squad gets a mention too, with Ethan and Grayson Dolan themselves making a cameo. Larray called them fake and claimed that their channel flopped after the sister squad disbanded. James Charles comes off lightly after the TikToker rapped that his “ass is getting thicker but that forehead getting bigger.” Other YouTubers mentioned include Tana Mongeau who “gets canceled every 5-7 business days”, Tati Westbrook, who is “forty and complaining about some vitamins,” and David Dobrik after Larray threatens to floor his Tesla. Larray also refers to the rumor that Shane Dawson sexually assaulted his cat, and references the backlash Nikita Dragun received after she was recently accused of blackfishing. Jeffree Star is also mentioned briefly in one line where Larray accuses him of saying the n-word. While the TikToker is quick to call out those around him, he has received backlash himself in the last few days after he Tweeted during his livestream that he’s only “pretending to be gay for clout”.

Laplus Darkness details illness keeping Hololive star away from streaming – Dexerto
Laplus Darkness details illness keeping Hololive star away from streaming YouTube: La+ DarknessHololive star Laplus Darkness (stylized La+ Darkness) has been absent from streaming for a couple of weeks. The star managed to go live briefly on September 6 to explain why, with a litany of illnesses forcing her to take a break — whether she wanted to or not. Laplus Darkness has been on a grind to reach 1 million subscribers ever since holoX debuted nearly a year ago. However it has come to a halt somewhat in recent weeks as her regularly scheduled streams slowed down. The Secret Society founder hasn’t streamed properly since August 26, nearly two weeks ago at the time of publication. However she went live on September 6 — not on YouTube though — to explain to her fans why she has been so absent. “It’s been a while everyone,” she opened in a hushed whisper so as to not strain her voice. “I haven’t [been well] actually. It’s been pretty rough. I got a stomach flu, a bladder infection, and on top of that I caught a cold. I have cold sores plus my throat is badly swollen.” With the illnesses racking up, it’s been hard for Laplus to even be at her computer. She was getting itchy feet though and wanted to come back for her fans — even defying some orders laid down by genmate Sakamata Chloe and Hololive management. “My body is in pretty bad shape but I wanted to stream. The thing is, if I don’t speak loud enough the computer microphone won’t pick up my voice. On a phone, I don’t need to raise my voice as much so I thought it should be fine,” she laughed. “I’m feeling like shit but I’m so bored, you know? I even told Chloe and management but they said ‘bored or not you need to rest.’ If they hear about this, I might get an earful! Please don’t snitch on me okay?” She did manage to find the energy to go live on YouTube later in the day with a softly spoken stream with no boisterous introduction or anything. That is off the cards for now while she is resting. “If I try to speak in a louder voice, my voice becomes [very croaky]. By louder I mean if I speak in the way I usually speak in my streams, my voice cracks like hell.” Those awaiting Laplus’ return don’t have to wait long. As soon as the forgetful Secret Society member feels well enough, she’ll come back immediately. It’s just making sure her body can cope with that: “I’m in good spirits but my body can’t keep up!” Laplus isn’t the only Hololive member dealing with health issues. Usada Pekora took a month off earlier in 2022 to deal with problems of her own. Recently, Yuzuki Choco opened up on how the stress she was putting her body through early on, and eventual illness, forced her to reconsider her intense schedule.

Large crowd gathers outside woman’s home for confronting street vendor – Dexerto
Large crowd gathers outside woman’s home for confronting street vendor TikTok: _raidertommy_, alannnn.__A massive group of people circled a woman’s house demanding justice after she went viral for confronting a street vendor in Long Beach, California. On August 14, a video was uploaded to TikTok showing a woman arguing with a tamale vendor in Long Beach, California. The clip gathered over 2 million views in a single day as viewers were left outraged over her comments toward the vendor. She accused him of operating his business without a license, claiming he didn’t pay taxes, and telling him, “This is not Mexico.” The issue seems to have started after the vendor supposedly honked his horn outside her house, which the woman says caused her dogs to start barking uncontrollably, bothering her neighbors. “When you’re coming here to sell tamales, with no license, no permission, no nothing, stay on that side or that side,” she told the vendor. “I don’t mind if you’re there. Yes, it’s a free street, but in order to do business, like a businessperson, you need a license, and you don’t have one.” “So do me a favor and honk on that side, like I’ve told you before, or on that side, so that my dogs won’t do this. When my dogs are doing this, they are bothering people. The sun shines for everyone, but that’s why you pay interest, that’s why you pay taxes, that’s why you pay employees.” “You don’t pay taxes on what you make here, you don’t pay what a businessperson has to pay. Be a businessman, pay the government what you have to pay. If you don’t want to pay this government, go to Mexico and do what you want. This is not Mexico. This is the United States.” Protesters gather outside woman’s home over comments made toward street vendor Viewers were so outraged over the situation that a huge group of protestors figured out the woman’s location. They then gathered outside her home later that day, demanding that she issue an apology for her remarks. After “an hour” of protesting, the woman finally came out into her yard to address the situation. She was even handed a megaphone to speak over the crowd due to the sheer volume of their cries. According to a protester who was present at the demonstration, “dozens, if not hundreds,” of people showed up to make their feelings known. “After almost an hour of protesting and making noise in front of her home, she finally came out and showed her face,” they wrote. “Everyone gathered in front of the fence and said everything they had to say to her.” This isn’t the first time that TikTok has taken matters into its own hands. Earlier this month, a woman went viral after reporting a man for sniffing herself and other women while browsing at a Barnes and Noble store.

Landon Barker takes shot at Eminem with cheeky TikTok comment – Dexerto
Landon Barker takes shot at Eminem with cheeky TikTok comment Landon Barker, Instagram / Wikimedia, RoanDMTravis Barker’s son, Landon Barker, has taken an unexpected shot at rapper Eminem on TikTok. The Barker family are no stranger to the world of music, with Travis enjoying an incredible run as a drummer for the rock band Blink-182, while also collaborating with a number of other hip-hop artists. Landon has found himself in the middle of an online beef after making his relationship with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio public, as the couple has been involved in a shade-slinging match with ex-partner Lil Huddy. On August 2, Landon posted a new TikTok video with the caption: “Wanna be’s dissing me.” Landon Barker takes shot at Eminem While many of his followers were convinced the clip was an extension of the ongoing online feuds Landon is involved in, the 18-year-old took aim at somebody else in the comments… None other than Eminem. After one user said “Team Eminem” in the comment, he replied: “Never that.” Eminem has been busy promoting the release of his next Greatest Hits album, which is called Curtain Call 2. The tracklist includes a number of fan favorites, from Crack A Bottle to Rap God. The famous artist has not yet responded to the jibe from Barker, although – given how famous his Dad is – it might just be a matter of time. In the replies, one fan said: “Never say that, Landon.” Another posted: “Let’s not,” predicting a mention like this could prompt Eminem to reply.

LAPD investigating YouTuber Brooke Houts for alleged animal abuse Brooke Houts, YouTube / FreepikYouTuber Brooke Houts is coming under extreme scrutiny, after accidentally uploading an unedited video that showed her hitting and spitting on her pet Doberman Pinscher, Sphinx.

Landon Barker shows off ‘Charli Fan’ t-shirt for Charli D’Amelio after relationship confirmed Instagram: landonasherbarker / charlidamelioLandon Barker has shown his appreciation for new girlfriend Charli D’Amelio with his very own fan t-shirt, and fans are loving the sweet gesture. Charli D’Amelio is one of the most popular stars on TikTok, with over 144 million followers, and over her years on the platform, she’s racked up an enormous amount of views and likes for her dance videos, and content with friends and family. Fans have maintained a keen interest in the influencer’s dating life since she started her social media career, and since she split from fellow TikTok star Chase Hudson, many wondered who Charli could be involved with next. In June, it was revealed that Charli had started seeing Landon Barker, Travis Barker’s son, with a source telling PEOPLE that it’s “early stages” for the pair. Although they kept their relationship private at first, throughout July the couple have been sharing more pictures and videos of them together, with Charli even sharing a snap of them kissing to her Instagram story, much to fans’ delight. Charli also went on to upload a picture of Landon giving a thumbs up while wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Charli Fan,’ surrounded by pink hearts. Fans loved the adorable gesture, and quickly shared screenshots of the image to their own accounts to share it with other fans who might not have gotten a chance to see it when it was first posted. Many are loving that the pair are going more public with their relationship, and are looking forward to seeing them share more content in the future. However, Charli’s sister Dixie and her boyfriend Noah Beck have made the decision to keep their relationship offline almost entirely, so it’s possible that Charli and Landon could do the same in the future.

Landon Barker shuts down Charli D’Amelio breakup rumors after fans panic – Dexerto
Landon Barker shuts down Charli D’Amelio breakup rumors after fans panic Instagram: landonasherbarkerLandon Barker has laid any rumors of his supposed breakup with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio to rest after the sudden deletion of their 5-month anniversary pic prompted panic among fans. Charli D’Amelio and Landon Barker have been dating for nearly half a year — but, like many celebrity romances, their relationship often comes under scrutiny from fans and onlookers. After the two initially got together in July, their love life was immediately beset with speculation after Charli’s ex-boyfriend, Chase Hudson, appeared to diss his former girlfriend in one of his songs, notably calling her a ‘homie hopper’ as he and Landon used to be friends. Since then, Barker has apparently been keen to make a diss track on Hudson — and although nothing has come of this supposed project thus far, other rumors have unfortunately befallen the couple. Landon Barker updates fans on Charli D’Amelio relationship Recently, Landon Barker deleted his 5-month anniversary photo with Charli from his Instagram profile, prompting speculation among viewers that the two had recently broken up. Luckily, this isn’t the case. On December 5, 2022, Landon posted an affectionate photo with Charli to his Instagram stories, showing the two hugging and laughing. This isn’t the first time the couple have slyly shut down breakup rumors from their fans; in November, fans became convinced that Charli and Landon had parted ways after not posting with each other for a hot minute. Then, both parties posted each other to Instagram in celebration of four months together, with Charli posting a mirror selfie with Landon hugging her waist and Landon posting a goofy selfie with Charli, using the caption: “4 months @charlidamelio.” That’s not all; Landon also made sure to support his girlfriend after she took home the victory for Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars, which took place in late November. For now, it’s clear that this couple is going strong in spite of the drama — and they know the perfect way to shut down rumors without stirring up any more speculation.

Landon Barker responds to TikTok mocking Lil Huddy & Charli D’Amelio’s breakup – Dexerto
Landon Barker responds to TikTok mocking Lil Huddy & Charli D’Amelio’s breakup Instagram: charlidamelio / huddyLandon Barker has responded to a TikTok video mocking Charli D’Amelio and Chase Hudson a.k.a. Lil Huddy’s breakup, after showing interest in doing a diss track about the singer. TikTok sensation Charli D’Amelio used to date fellow TikTok star Chase Hudson a.k.a. Lil Huddy, however, the pair ended up breaking things off in 2020. In June 2022, Charli was first spotted with Travis Barker’s son Landon Barker, which promptly sparked dating rumors. Not long after these rumors began, Charli and Landon started going public with their relationship, posting a number of pictures together on social media. Following the new relationship, Chase, who reportedly used to be friends with Landon, appeared to call Charli out in one of his new songs, with the lyrics saying: “You’re a showstopper / A bad liar, homie hopper / Drama starter.” In August, TikToker damedamian made a video in which he acted out Charli being sad after her split from Chase, followed by a clip of him acting out “Lil Huddy making song about it.” At the end of the video, ‘Landon’ comes in and ‘Charli’ looks happy again. The video went on to garner four million views and over 700,000 likes. This even led to Landon replying to the viral clip, simply with a comment reading: “Lmao frfr.” This follows Landon saying that he would be down to team up with Josh Richards to make a diss track on Bryce Hall and Lil Huddy, after the TikTokers made several videos about it. Josh joked: “Getting ready to hit up Landon to make a diss track on Bryce and Huddy,” with Landon replying, “Let’s do it Josh! Right now!” It seems as though the tension between Landon and Chase is set to continue, as it doesn’t appear as though Landon and Charli will be breaking things off any time soon.

Landon Barker shades Charli D’Amelio’s “fake” relationship with ex Chase Hudson – Dexerto
Landon Barker shades Charli D’Amelio’s “fake” relationship with ex Chase Hudson YouTube: Lightweights PodcastLandon Barker opened up about his romance with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and seemingly shaded her previous romance with ex Chase Hudson, calling their past relationship “fake.” Charli D’Amelio is TikTok’s second most-followed creator, boasting over 151 million followers on the popular video-sharing app. At the beginning of her rise to online stardom, Charli was known for dating fellow influencer and music artist Chase Hudson… but their relationship fell apart in 2020 after allegations of infidelity floated around. The entire incident was dubbed TikTok’s “dramageddon” — and although the ex-couple ultimately split up, they remained close friends for a time. That is, until Charli began dating musician Landon Barker. Charli and Landon have been dating for over a year now after first debuting their romance in summer 2022. Fans were convinced that Hudson was upset about this development, as he all but called out “homie hopper” Charli in his song ‘All The Things I Hate About You.’ Landon Barker explains why he keeps relationship with Charli lowkey Chase and Landon used to be buddies, but apparently not anymore. The two have been lowkey shading each other online over the ensuing year — and it doesn’t look like the bad blood has gone away. During a recent interview on the Lightweights podcast, Barker opened up about his relationship with Charli, saying that they don’t feel the need to make their love lives public like Charli supposedly needed to with Chase. “I feel like in the past, she’s been in relationships where they were almost obligated to post together,” he explained. “For us, it’s not like that. It’s more just, if we’re going out, we like our outfits, we’ll put up the phone and make a stupid TikTok, you know?” “I feel like that’s the way to make it healthy and that’s the way that we’re happy together, is not putting any pressure on it. …cause when there’s a goal with a relationship, it’s just fake, you know?” (Topic begins at 9:15) Although Barker didn’t name-drop Chase Hudson, fans are all but convinced that he’s throwing shade toward Charli’s ex-man, as that was the only other public relationship she was in before dating him. It’s clear that Barker is willing to stick up for Charli and keep their relationship on the down-low — although he recently caught a bloody eye supposedly defending her honor at a party.

Landon Barker responds to claims his new song is about Charli D’Amelio & Lil Huddy – Dexerto
Landon Barker responds to claims his new song is about Charli D’Amelio & Lil Huddy Instagram: charlidamelioLandon Barker is clearing up rumors that one of his unreleased songs is about his girlfriend Charli D’Amelio and her ex-boyfriend, Chase Hudson. Landon Barker got together with TikTok queen Charli D’Amelio back in Summer 2022, but their romance has been plagued with drama from the get go. At first, it looked like Chase Hudson (aka Lil Huddy) wasn’t a huge fan of their relationship. Charli and Chase used to date, and although they broke up in 2020, it seemed like they were still close (with some fans thinking they were actually dating on the low). Chase also used to be friends with Landon… until Landon started dating Charli, which appears to have caused some tension between the two ex-buddies. In fact, Hudson appeared to directly call out both Charli and Landon in one of his songs, ‘All The Things I Hate About You,’ where he seemed to call his ex-girlfriend a “bad liar” and a “homie hopper.” Ever since then, Barker has been beefing with Hudson on social media, even saying he wanted to make a diss track on Chase alongside TikTok star Josh Richards at one point. Landon Barker teases new song and fans are convinced it’s about Chase and Charli Although things have quieted down in the past month or so, fans are once again in an uproar after Landon teased one of his unreleased songs on Instagram — the lyrics of which are convincing some listeners that the track is about Chase Hudson. “I was friends with your ex, you were with him when we met / Guess he hasn’t found out yet, but I know he’s gonna kill me when he sees me with you,” the song goes. At first glance, it appears fairly cut and dry that Landon’s song is about Charli and Chase — but he’s denying any connection with the ex-couple in his lyrics, despite viral fan theories. “You guys are taking this out of context,” he wrote in a comment on the ‘TeaTokTalk’ Instagram page in response to fans. “I made this song a year ago and just shared it for fun. It has nothing to do with past situations, just me making music!” That’s not all; Barker also claimed that the song was actually inspired by Machine Gun Kelly’s song, ‘my ex’s best friend,’ which he attempted to recreate in his own way. “This song’s inspiration was the MGK song ‘my ex’s best friend,’” he added in another comment. “That’s what we tried to recreate.” This isn’t the first time someone involved in this particular love triangle has had to clarify rumors stemming from their own song lyrics; back in 2022, Charli had to clear up fan theories about her debut song, ‘If You Ask Me To,’ claiming that the track wasn’t about Lil Huddy. For now, it doesn’t seem like Chase has reacted to the song — at least not publicly, leaving this beef open for another dramatic chapter in the future.

Landon Barker responds to rumors of “stealing” Charli D’Amelio from Lil Huddy – Dexerto
Landon Barker responds to rumors of “stealing” Charli D’Amelio from Lil Huddy Instagram: huddy, charlidamelio, landonasherbarkerLandon Barker has cleared up rumors surrounding his relationship with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio, denying that he “stole” her from her ex-boyfriend, Chase Hudson. Landon Barker and Charli D’Amelio are TikTok’s latest celebrity couple. This pairing was made public back in June after the two stars were spotted out on a date together. Since then, the duo has sparked a bit of backlash in the TikTok fandom as an apparent feud has started between Charli’s new boo Landon and her ex-boyfriend, music artist and influencer Chase ‘Lil Huddy’ Hudson. Landon and Chase had apparently been friends before Charli’s new relationship made headlines. Chase unfollowed Landon on social media shortly thereafter — and fans even think he threw shade at the couple in his new song, ‘All The Things I Hate About You.’ Since then, it’s been a back and forth firestorm between the two ex-friends on social media, which even resulted in Landon low-key calling out Eminem, of all people. Now, Landon is clearing up rumors that he “stole” Charli from Chase, as revealed in a purported message he penned in response to the concerns. “I feel you, but to clear up the confusion, I didn’t steal her from him,” he said in a message shared to the TikTokRoom Instagram account. “They broke up six months ago. Me and Huddy were friends, never best friends.” “But besides that, there’s so much more I could touch on but I just wanna keep my personal life out of this,” he added. This latest news follows Charli opening up about her relationship with Landon on Entertainment Tonight, where she admitted that it was her sister, Dixie, who set them up. “Dixie’s always making sure that I’m in the loop on everything,” she said. “It just kinda happened out of nowhere. It’s kind of a new chapter in my life where I get to focus on work, friends, and family.” Click here if TikTok fails to load.

Landon Barker gets tattoo of Charli D’Amelio’s eye and fans are confused – Dexerto
Landon Barker gets tattoo of Charli D’Amelio’s eye and fans are confused Instagram: landonasherbarkerLandon Barker has divided the internet after getting a tattoo of girlfriend Charli D’Amelio’s eye on his arm, sparking criticism from fans over their relationship status. Landon Barker, son of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, notably got together with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio back in summer 2022 following her breakup from ex-boyfriend Chase Hudson. It’s been almost a year since these two went public after they were first spotted on a date night by paparazzi. Since then, the couple have made no bones about their love for one another — even in the midst of breakup rumors and viral cheating allegations. However, some fans are raising a proverbial eyebrow at this pairing, especially after Landon’s latest display of affection toward his internet-famous girlfriend. Landon Barker tattoos Charli D’Amelio’s eye on his arm On June 1, Landon Barker posted a series of pics to his Instagram stories showing himself getting another tattoo. At first, he merely teased that he was getting some new ink; but after showing off his latest body art, some fans are a little weirded out. It turns out that Landon actually got a tattoo of Charli’s eye on his right bicep. Talk about dedication! Charli also posted an image of her boo’s tat to her Insta stories. Thus far, it’s not certain exactly how she feels about her man’s latest tattoo, but she clearly felt it was important enough to post about. This latest step in their relationship has left some fans feeling a bit awkward. Many commenters have claimed that Landon will regret his tattoo if they ever break up, while others think it’s just too much overall. “It’s gonna end soon, it’s the tattoo curse,” one fan wrote on Instagram. “Whenever influencer couples or someone in the relationship gets a tattoo of the other one, or matching tattoos, the relationship always ends after.” “This is the worst thing you can do. Tattoos are cursed,” another said, also referencing the ‘tattoo relationship curse.’ “And they are 19, so young. Relationships don’t last forever at that age, but the gesture is cute.” This isn’t the only thing about their relationship that’s had fans doing a double-take; in fact, Landon freaked out the entire internet after filming a TikTok focused on his girlfriend’s foot in May. Say what?

TikTok star Charli D’Amelio first started dating Landon Barker, son of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, nearly a year ago in summer 2022. Since then, the two have been quite public about their romance and often post videos and pics with each other on social media. However, despite their fairytale relationship, the couple has fielded breakup rumors and claims of cheating left and right over the past several months — with one OnlyFans model even claiming that Barker was “quick” to message her on social media. Landon Barker shuts down rumors of “crush” on Dixie D’Amelio Now, another cheating rumor is making the rounds after a fan theorized that Landon might have a crush on his girlfriend’s big sister, Dixie D’Amelio. This hearsay began after Landon uploaded a playful video with Dixie to TikTok on June 13, which showed the two stars lip syncing and dancing to ‘Hurts Me’ by Tory Lanez. Although the two were just playing around, one fan connected some dots that the rest of us didn’t see and said: “I think Landon has a crush on Dixie.” Landon was quick to quash this statement and hit back in a comment: “Bro, what? Trippin’ fam. Dixie is my sis.” But that commenter isn’t alone. Another user also left a speculative comment on the video, writing, “Why is he always with his girlfriends sister, and not his girlfriend?” However, some fans are defending the young musician, with one arguing: “Y’all give him a break, he didn’t post one video with Charli. Get over it.” Despite fans’ opinions, it’s clear that Landon isn’t here for any breakup rumors… just one of many that he and Charli have had to fend off throughout their relationship.

Landon Barker addresses Charli D’Amelio breakup rumors – Dexerto
Landon Barker addresses Charli D’Amelio breakup rumors Youtube: Zach Sang Show / Instagram: @landonasherbarkerLandon Barker went on the Zach Sang show and dismissed rumors that he and Charli D’ Amelio have broken up. Charli D’Amelio, one of TikTok’s biggest stars with over 150 million followers, sent fans into a frenzy when she revealed that she was dating Landon Barker in July of 2022. The TikTok power couple appeared in the news before when Landon Barker ended up fighting another TikToker at an LA in defense of Charli, which resulted in him sustaining a gruesome injury to his eye. Fans have also had to worry about their favorite social media couple breaking up earlier in the year when an Onlyfans model accused Landon of cheating, and now the breakup rumors are back. Landon Barker went on the Zack Sang show to set things straight once and for all. Landon Barker shuts down Breakup rumors once and for all Landon attributed the reason for all the whisperings about Charli D’Amelio’s relationship to the fact that they are not a “Social Media relationship,” and prefer to keep their life a bit more private. Zach Sang and his co-host asked Landon Barker the hard question on everyone’s mind: “Why does the internet think you broke up?” Landon denied that they broke up and could only guess that the reason that fans thought that is because they’re not a social media couple: “If it’s authentic, you don’t have to post it. I was still seeing her [Charli] all the time, […] but that’s probably why people thought that because we weren’t as active on social media.” But fans were quick to remind Landon Barker and Charli D’Amelio’s social media presence as a couple, refuting their claims of not being a social media couple: “Why do they both try so hard to convince people they didn’t intend to be a “social media relationship” when they’ve purposely made themselves public since day 1,” said one fan under an Instagram that clipped Landon’s relationship comments. Fans also questioned if their relationship is as stable as Landon hinted at after they thought he seemingly shaded Charli’s past relationship with Chase Hudson as “fake” on the Lightweights podcast.

Landlord sparks backlash after he films himself doubling tenant’s rent – Dexerto
Landlord sparks backlash after he films himself doubling tenant’s rent TIKTOK: therealraulbolufeA landlord is facing backlash on TikTok, after recording himself raising a tenant’s rent from $1,100 to $2,200 a month. TikToker Raul Bolufe (therealraulbolufe) posted a video of himself, telling a tenant of over ten years that he will be doubling her rent. In the now-viral clip, he called her to introduce himself as the new property owner, and asked if she wanted to continue renting the house. “You’re currently rented for $1,100. That house is in Miami. It’s a pretty low price in today’s market,” he explained. Raul then told the woman that he’d have to raise the rent if she were to stay. Landlord doubles tenant’s rent “I would want you to stay, but we have to raise it a little bit. We could take the lower end of $2,000 to $2,200,” he said. “Are you kidding me? That has to be a joke! I can’t afford that sh*t. I have kids and I’m already working two jobs as it is,” the tenant responded. In a follow-up video, the furious tenant threatened to call the cops and burn the house down “so nobody gets anything.” “If you don’t want to stay for that price, I’m going to have to put in a 30-day notice,” the landlord said. “You could leave peacefully on time, but I definitely can’t make it work at that current rent amount.” The tenant insisted she would not pay the higher rent, and called Raul a “con artist” before hanging up. In the comments, TikTok users slammed the landlord for doubling the rent. “Ridiculous … and he does it with a smile. This is why no one can afford to live anywhere… it’s sad,” one user wrote. “Dude really filmed himself like this was gonna be received well,” another commented. “Sorry, landlord is wrong here. No way to increase rent by 100% on a current tenet,” a third said. “Has her lease expired? Sufficient notice has to be given. He’s just hoping she doesn’t talk to an attorney,” someone else shared. As of now, it’s unclear whether the conversation between Raul and the tenant was real or a skit. This is not the first time a landlord has sparked outrage on TikTok; previously, an NYC landlord was criticized for raising a woman’s rat-infested apartment rent by $800.

Landlord sparks debate after tenants trash apartment in response to eviction – Dexerto
Landlord sparks debate after tenants trash apartment in response to eviction TikTok: clean.up.tiktok7A landlord has sparked a massive online debate after claiming he would charge his tenants a hefty cleaning fee when they trashed their apartment upon being served an eviction notice. TikTok is known for making content of all sorts go viral across multiple social media platforms — and sometimes, these viral clips start a major debate that takes over the internet. From guests wearing white dresses to weddings to customers ordering delivery during inclement weather, there have been a slew of TikTok videos that prompted a worldwide discussion as to morals and ethics. However, the latest clip responsible for sparking such a debate has viewers especially heated, given that it involves a landlord and their tenants. Landlord sparks outrage after charging tenants for apartment damage On July 25, a landlord based in Indianapolis, Indiana uploaded a video to social media showing the wild state in which their tenants had left their apartment. Trash littered the ground, and some kind of stain was spread all across the walls of the living room. The landlord, however, didn’t seem to be bothered. While doing a little dance, the landlord captioned the clip claiming that their tenants hit back by trashing the place in response to getting evicted. So, to hit back at them, the landlord said they were going to hire the most expensive cleaners they could find and hit the former tenants with the charge. “If they don’t pay up for it, it’s their credit, not mine,” they wrote. The landlord’s plan left commenters pretty divided. On one hand, some commenters sympathized with the landlord, claiming that the tenants deserved the cleaning fee after wrecking their living space. On the other hand, other viewers lashed out at the landlord for purposefully charging the former tenants an arm and a leg while they were already facing eviction and likely struggling to find a new home. “So, it’s okay to rent something from someone and leave it totally trashed when you leave, without having to pay to clean it up?” one viewer said on Twitter. “The splatter on the wall is totally not normal. If you rent something from someone, return it in the same condition you got it.” So its okay to rent something from someone and leave it totally trashed when you leave, without having to pay to clean it up? The splatter on the wall is totally not normal. If you rent something from someone return it in the same condition you got it. — Nikola Lovig (@NikolaLovig) July 26, 2023 “Criminal charges should be allowed in situations like this,” another viewer said on TikTok, seemingly referring to destruction of property. “And restitution paid for damages.” Yet, others weren’t so sympathetic. “Good God, we need to abolish landlords,” one user said on Twitter in a post that’s garnered over 6 million views. “He practically made someone homeless because he’s petty,” another wrote. Still others think the landlord set the whole thing up. “99 percent chance the guy did it himself,” one user theorized. “Almost for sure to go viral,” another replied. “A true destructive person wouldn’t be artistic with the ketchup.” This is just the latest viral debate to take over TikTok after an AI model took the site by storm despite not being real.

Lana shuts down rumors she’s getting back together with Mike Majlak – Dexerto
Lana shuts down rumors she’s getting back together with Mike Majlak Twitter: Mike MajlakLana has shut down rumors she’s getting back together with ex-boyfriend Mike Majlak after he claimed they still “talk every hour,” which she vehemently denied, calling him a ‘liar.’ Mike and Lana shocked the world back in February 2021 when they announced they were breaking up. It wasn’t the first time. The beloved couple decided to give it another go. However, they couldn’t put their differences aside, ultimately driving Lana to dump him for good. Since going their separate ways, Lana has been vocal about their relationship. She revealed he sent her a bizarre ‘pros and cons’ list after breaking up, which landed him in hot water with Trisha Paytas. However, in a recent tweet, Mike claimed that he and Lana are still in touch and talk “every hour.” This led many fans to believe the two of them could be getting back together. but here’s a fucking nibble and then i’m done: me leaving impaulsive has never been even discussed, me and logan talk every day, me and amara talk every hour, and i was already doing a house project with banks before any of this even happened. — Mike Majlak (@mikemajlak) May 20, 2021 A dedicated fan took matters into his own hands and decided to ask Lana about it. “Why are you going on dates if you and Mike are getting back together?” he said. “Sorry, but I don’t understand.” Lana actually responded and confirmed that none of it was true. She claimed Mike ‘lied’ about the whole thing, and they aren’t even on talking terms. “We aren’t getting back together. We aren’t even talking. He lies,” she said. https://twitter.com/LanaRhoades/status/1395858255411236864?s=20 The saga between Lana and Mike has continued long after their split, and it seems like it will continue for quite some time. For some people, it’s still a shock to see them both single, let alone at odds with each other. However, for others, it’s the inevitable aftermath of a seemingly tumultuous relationship behind closed doors.

Lance Tsosie loses half a million TikTok followers after Chelsea Hart drama – Dexerto
Lance Tsosie loses half a million TikTok followers after Chelsea Hart drama TikTok: modern_warrior__ / chelseahartismeTikToker Lance Tsosie lost half a million followers on the platform after the fallout from his relationship with Chelsea Hart hit a boiling point with fans. Hart published a series of videos diving into her time with Tsosie, who goes by modern_warrior__” on TikTok. She alleged that Tsosie took advantage of her “vulnerability” and was unfaithful to her during their relationship. As the drama unfolded, more influencers claimed to have a similar experience with Tsosie and spoke out in support of Hart. As TikTokers become aware of the situation between the two popular influencers, modern_warrior’s follower count is taking a hit. Tsosie’s TikTok following after accusations Almost a week out from the initial point of the drama, Tsosie has lost half a million followers on TikTok, or about 15% of his total fans since the videos came out. Tsosie’s modern_warrior account has 2.7 million TikTok followers, down from about 3.2 million just a week prior, according to SocialBlade. The trend has been steadily ticking down since Tsosie posted an apology video addressing Hart, which immediately drew backlash and was taken down shortly after. On his end, Tsosie has kept relative radio silence since deleting his apology as more influencers have come forward to describe their interactions with the TikToker. The downtick in followers might also be attributed to wild speculation against Tsosie from “those who want to kill [him],” as Hart put it. To those rumors, Hart vehemently asked her audience to “shout down” false narratives and to elevate what was really happening. It’s unclear if the two influencers are handling the situation away from the public’s eye but TikTok audiences are still waiting to hear from Tsosie after a week without posting a clip on his channel.

Lana exposes ‘pros & cons’ list Mike Majlak sent her after breakup – Dexerto
Lana exposes ‘pros & cons’ list Mike Majlak sent her after breakup YouTube: Mike Majlak VlogsMike Majlak and Lana have been separated for three months now, but the breakup just got even messier as a new ‘pros vs cons’ list of their relationship has been leaked on TikTok. Social media stars Lana and Majlak officially called it quits – for the second time– on February 19. While the relationship came to an end there, the former couple has continued to share new details with their fans ever since. Both have revealed their side of the story with Majlak calling it a “mutual decision” and Lana blaming it on commitment issues. Following the split, they were amicable at first, even appearing in each other’s content. However, the situation just got a whole lot messier. Majlak tried reaching out to Lana on May 10 with a specific list. This “five-page long” list rattled off his ‘pros and cons’ of the relationship. Mere hours later and Lana exposed this attempt to connect on her TikTok account. Some of the ‘cons’ of dating Lana, according to Mike Majlak.Having blocked Majlak’s number, a friend of Lana’s was relaying his new messages instead. “Tell him to leave me alone and not contact me,” Lana responded. “I don’t care and will get a restraining order against him if he ever bothers me again.” Nonetheless, the messages were relayed regardless and Lana was treated to a list of pros and cons about their relationship. “Why I date you,” Majlak started before listing off reasons he enjoyed being with Lana. From her loyalty to her “solid taste in music,” the list covered a wide range of ‘positives’ about Lana. The message soon dipped into reasons why Mike doesn’t date her anymore. This part of the list was much longer, diving into both “major dealbreakers” and more “minor issues.” These range from “chewing with [her] mouth open” to being “extremely needy when it comes to [spending] time together.” Unsurprisingly, Lana was not impressed with the list and quickly shared it online for the world to see. “I don’t care what you or any man does or doesn’t like,” she said on TikTok. “No one asked. Oh, and it was five pages long. Here’s your ‘clout’ Michael!” While the former couple was on again and off again throughout much of 2020, it seems as though the bridges are fully burnt with this latest development.

Lana finally confirms real reason why she dumped Mike Majlak for good – Dexerto
Lana finally confirms real reason why she dumped Mike Majlak for good YouTube: MikeMajlakvlogsTwo months after the social media power couple officially called it quits, Lana has finally broken her silence and revealed the true reason why she moved on from Mike Majlak. Lana’s public relationship with Majlak was an on-again-off-again affair while they were a couple. The two first parted ways back in October before getting together again just days later. While a number of reasons were given as to why the pair eventually split for good in February, Lana has now revealed her side of the story. The leading controversy back then involved Majlak’s Grand Theft Auto Online sessions. Throughout his streams, he would “break the fourth wall” and hit on women in the Role Playing servers. While this “traumatized” Lana at the time, it wasn’t the actual reason she moved on. Not only that, but it also wasn’t due to him being “inappropriate with other women” in the real world either. What it came down to was finally moving in together, according to Lana. “He told me he was going to move in with me,” Lana shared on an April 20 episode of the BFF podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards. While the two had plans to share a house, Majlak allegedly “broke up” with Lana “the day he was supposed to move in.” After rebuilding the bridges and getting the relationship back on track, history repeated itself. The two were planning to move in together for a “second time,” Lana said. However, this time around, there was another reason that stopped it from happening. The day after Majlak was supposed to move in again, he allegedly told Lana that he had other plans. Instead of moving in with his partner, Majlak revealed that he was working on a new “content house with [Richard ‘FaZe Banks’ Bengston].” More than frustrated by this response, Lana decided to call it quits the very next day. “I was like just get the f*** out of my house,” she told Majlak. The relevant topic begins at the 8:00 mark below. This explanation differs from Majlak’s statement after the latest breakup. According to him, it was a “mutual decision” as the couple just couldn’t “make [it] work.” Having now been separated for just over two months, the former couple has no plans of trying to build the relationship once again.

Lana Del Rey’s twerking video at Waffle House goes viral – is it real? Twitter: saltyxo_/ Instagram: lanadelreybrA video claiming to be of Lana Del Rey has gone viral, where an employee from Waffle House resembling the singer is twerking, but fans wonder if it’s real or not. When it was revealed that the popular singer had picked up a shift at a Waffle House, the internet was shocked and confused, speculating why she was working there. A fan had met Lana dressed in the employee uniform with a nametag as she was pouring coffee and talking to other customers. But this latest video of an employee twerking in the Waffle House uniform has gone viral on August 5 and fans are wondering if it’s Lana. The clip was taken from a distance where a girl in a blue shirt and a black skirt was twerking as the ensemble resembled that of a Waffle House uniform. The face of the girl wasn’t visible but the text on it read: “Waffle House waitress, Lana Del Rey found dancing at local Chicago bar before her shift at Lollapalooza.” Lana did perform after the video went viral on August 6th but did not address the clip, however, the viral video has been debunked. Was it Lana Del Rey twerking in viral video? TikToker @jesssparkles_ posted a video of the girl who was thought to be Lana dancing up close repeating similar moves from the viral video. This means the woman in the viral clip wasn’t the singer but it was another woman who was pretending to be Lana from Waffle House. The TikTok was taken by the user from the point of view of a customer who ran into Lana at the Waffle House. However, fans reacted to the popular video thinking it was Lana as some fans praised her for “serving” even during her shift, while others found it weird.

Lana Del Rey lashes out at “stalkers” for following her in Paris WIKIMEDIA COMMONSLana Del Rey lost her cool with a group of “stalkers” after they followed her and her family around in Paris. In a viral video, Lana Del Rey was spotted exiting a store in the French capital, and looking surprised when she noticed someone recording her. “Don’t,” the singer-songwriter said, as she tried to grab the phone from the person’s hand. It is unknown whether the individual filming her was a photographer or a fan. In a different clip, the 38-year-old was seen getting even more agitated, as she confronted a larger group of people, exclaiming: “You followed me with my family! Get away from me!” The ‘Summertime Sadness’ hitmaker then began to walk away, before turning back to say: “Oh, you really think this is uncalled for? Don’t follow me! Don’t follow me!” When another person in the group tried to calm the situation, she retorted: “I am upset. Don’t let them follow me.” Del Rey then explained why she’s upset, saying: “I only have one day here. I work every single day. I have four hours to myself.” After the person told her not to “scream,” she raised her voice even louder and responded: “Shut up!” The ‘Don’t Call Me Angel’ singer has since commented under a now-deleted video of the incident on Instagram, claiming the group were “stalkers” and writing: “These a**holes actually told me that they were going to alter the pictures to make me look bad after we got into a fight.” It didn’t take long for fans to take to social media to express their support for Del Rey. “Poor Lana.

Laid-off Twitch staff could jump to Kick as Trainwreck namedrops ‘Kick Rivals’ – Dexerto
Laid-off Twitch staff could jump to Kick as Trainwreck namedrops ‘Kick Rivals’ Twitch / KickKick could be eyeing Twitch’s recently laid-off employees after co-owner Trainwreck appeared to tease a competitor to the site in ‘Kick Rivals.’ Kick launched in 2023 as a competitor to Twitch, famously signing prominent streamers like Amouranth and xQc with extremely lucrative, non-exclusive deals. Since then, the site has only grown in popularity thanks to its comparatively lax guidelines and better payouts for broadcasters — and now, it looks like Kick might be taking yet another step in one-upping its rival. On January 10, it was confirmed by Twitch CEO Dan Clancy that the Amazon-owned company had made the “difficult decision” to lay off over 500 employees, which made up about 35% of its staff, in a major blow to the streaming service. In response to this major swath of layoffs, Kick co-founder and streamer Trainwreck has teased a possible venture to rival one of Twitch’s biggest initiatives. Trainwreck teases ‘Kick Rivals’ as Twitch lays off 500 workers A former Twitch employee posted to Twitter/X saying that they had been laid off from the company after eight years of working on projects like Twitch Rivals, Twitch’s competitive gaming initiative that hosts a series of live events across multiple esports alongside top streamers and former pro players. “Not sure what comes next,” they wrote. “Hoping for the best!” It seems that Trainwreck took notice of this employee’s situation and posed an idea that’s sparking a fair bit of speculation online, replying: “Kick Rivals?” It would certainly be interesting to see Kick create its own version of a competitive esport event in the same vein as Twitch Rivals as the company continues to grow and attract broadcasters fed up with Twitch’s recent issues, such as its confusing guidelines on explicit content. This isn’t the first time a big name at Kick has teased a major blow to Twitch. Recently, Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani claimed that the company would “eventually buy Twitch” as the streaming wars continue.

Lady Gaga fans stunned after viral TikTok shows ‘invisible shield’ protecting her during concert YouTube: Lady Gaga/ Twitter: @noah3020A TikTok clip has gone viral after appearing to show global popstar Lady Gaga being protected from thrown objects by an ‘invisible shield’ during her concerts. As one of the biggest multi-talented performers on the planet, Lady Gaga has grown a devoutly loyal fanbase throughout her career. However, as with any celebrity, she’s also had her fair share of haters to the point when her safety has been put at risk. Sometimes even during her live performances. Now, a viral TikTok appears to demonstrate one way Gaga appears to deflect any danger during her Chromatic Ball concert. Although, the moment has also respawned some wild theories that the ‘Bad Romance’ singer is somehow getting help from a higher power. Lady Gaga TikTok appears to show ‘invisible’ protection shield On July 19, a video posted on TikTok showed Gaga performing on stage in front of thousands of fans. Suddenly, a large object is seen flying from the crowd towards her. Yet, it seemingly deflects in mid-air just as though it’s hitting an ‘invisible’ wall. It then falls to the ground and Gaga continues to perform unscathed. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load The clip first gained attention after it worked on its way onto Twitter thanks to Lady Gaga fan account ‘noah3020‘ and picked up 4.2 million views as of writing. However, it also reignited a wave of bizarre theories. Various memes from viewers claimed that the moment is ‘proof’ that Gaga, as well as other various celebrities, are connected to the rumored supernatural group the Illuminati. Yet, noah3020 soon clarified: “This is a joke, it’s obviously not a force field.” Various followers also supported them claiming it was most likely a “stage fan” or even “scrim”- a type of “theatrical mesh” which protects performers during concerts. The viral clip may have ignited a plethora of “demonizing” speculations surrounding Lady Gaga. But, as always, her supportive fans were on hand to jump to her defence.

Lady Gaga makes a ‘fake’ Instagram boomerang and gets roasted for it – Dexerto
Lady Gaga makes a ‘fake’ Instagram boomerang and gets roasted for it Instagram: Lady GagaMusic icon Lady Gaga has gone viral across social media with a ‘fake’ boomerang on Instagram as fans are both confused and roasting her over it. The rise of TikTok and Instagram has led to the birth of a new generation of internet stars, but they’re not the only ones who have gained popularity with short-form videos on the two platforms. Plenty of celebrities from a wide range of fields have also dived in and started creating content on both platforms, with many from the world of music benefiting greatly. Their songs and dances have sparked a whole host of trends – just ask Lizzo for proof of that. Lady Gaga has been on both for quite some as well, but their videos don’t exactly go down as well as some of her fellow singer-songwriter’s posts. Lady Gaga’s fake Instagram Boomerang sparks fan roasts In fact, the ‘Poker Face’ star found herself on the end of some confusion and wild roasts from fans, after she posted a ‘fake’ boomerang-style video. The boomerang, if you’ve not used Instagram in the last few years, are videos that last a few seconds and look like they’re playing repeatedly. In Gaga’s post, she was tucking her hair behind her ear, but it didn’t have the boomerang effect. She was just doing it herself. “Not her making a fake boomerang,” said one tweeter, whose post has gone massively viral on Twitter. They weren’t alone, either. “She really said “Imma put the BOOMER in boomerang” and she ate ofc,” joked one. This is so embarrassing,” added another. This is hilarious because a boomerang goes back and forth,” commented another. Some fans suggested that Gaga had actually done it on purpose to go viral with the advertisement, given it’s not the first time she’s made a similar post. “She’s a marketing genius,” said one.

Lachlan stunned as Ali-A & SypherPK snatch Fortnite fashion contest win – Dexerto
Lachlan stunned as Ali-A & SypherPK snatch Fortnite fashion contest win Instagram: alia, sypherpk / YouTube: LachlanPopular Fortnite players Alastair ‘Ali-A’ Aiken and Ali ‘SypherPK’ Hassan made waves after entering Lachlan’s $10,000 fashion show and actually qualifying to the final round. Fashion Shows became somewhat of a thing in Fortnite towards the tail end of 2019, with content creators letting viewers come in their favorite skins and whittling out the best until they eventually find a winner. Lachlan, though, took it a step further and made it a real competition for some serious money – and even some of the biggest names in Fortnite wanted in. It was a duos event with full qualifiers, judged by the Aussie himself, so entrants had to be in peak fashion shape before heading into the game. At the start of Ali-A’s YouTube upload going through the process of setting up for such an event, he and Sypher spend a long time figuring out the best skins to wear, how best to combine their assets including their back bling and pickaxe choices. They also came up with an entire emote routine, complete with a full magical narrative behind it, in an attempt to best impress Lachlan when the moment came. Heading into the qualifying round, Ali-A secured the first spot in the queue, almost an easy pass through to the next, before reaching the final round and performing their full routine – and Lachlan loved it. As they were finishing out their final moves, Lachlan went and killed every other contestant, clearly impressed with what he’d seen by the creative duo, letting them know they had qualified to the next round. Finally, he killed the remaining two, who were celebrating like they had just won the Fortnite World Cup, and it dawned on the Aussie that he had just let two of the biggest Fortnite content creators snatch a win from right under his nose. Obviously, in jest, he threw his headset down and puts his head in his hands, struggling to believe that Ali and Sypher had been the witches with such a perfectly coordinated routine. Lachlan’s $10k Fortnite fashion show still has some teams left to qualify for the final event, but Ali and Sypher will be one team with their eyes on the cash at the end of the campaign. With the end of Chapter 2, Season 1 expected a little later than before, we may see content creators having to find even more new ways to create engaging videos in the weeks leading up to Season 2.

Lady Gaga fans remember Artpop for 10th anniversary – Dexerto
Lady Gaga fans remember Artpop for 10th anniversary Instagram: Lady GagaLady Gaga released the boundary-pushing experimental pop album Artpop 10 years ago, and fans took to Twitter/X to commemorate the anniversary. You can always rely on Lady Gaga to never play by the rules. With her 2013 studio album, Artpop, she swapped out the usual glossy ear candy for something altogether weird, tapping into a vastly different soundscape than what fans had been accustomed to. Artpop, featuring such oddball compositions as “Swine,” didn’t adhere to any strict pop outlines or guides. It existed as something so out of left field, that many didn’t know how to react. Off the heat of lead single “Applause,” the album still managed to sell a quarter of a million copies. Fans pay tribute to Lady Gaga’s iconic Artpop album A decade later, Artpop is perhaps even more transcendent than it was then. When you consider what Gaga’s impressive career has turned into, as she’s darted from starring in A Star is Born to performing jazz standards with Tony Bennett, it was a precursor to her willingness to go bold.

LA Rams cover Super Bowl stadium with TimTheTatman prediction despite NFL curse – Dexerto
LA Rams cover Super Bowl stadium with TimTheTatman prediction despite NFL curse Twitter, @TimTheTatman, @RamsNFLYouTube streamer extraordinaire TimTheTatman has cursed every single NFL team he’s predicted to win during the 2022 playoffs. Nevertheless, the Los Angeles Rams are proudly wearing his Super Bowl prediction on its stadium. After about 20 years in St. Louis, Missouri, the Rams moved back to Los Angeles in 2016. They quickly celebrated that homecoming by making it to the Super Bowl in 2018, before ultimately losing to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots. Now, the Rams are back in the big game and face a new opponent: the Cincinnati Bengals. Unfortunately, LA’s stars also have a second opponent working against them: YouTube streamer TimTheTatman, who predicted that the Rams would beat the Bengals. Instead of shying away from the curse, though, the team is leaning into it. TimTheTatman picks LA Rams to win the Super Bowl rams will win the Super Bowlhttps://t.co/OxHE4PS02c — timthetatman👑 (@timthetatman) February 1, 2022 The NFL playoffs are notoriously difficult to predict and therefore make Las Vegas sportsbooks a lot of money every year. Yet somehow, TimTheTatman has gone a perfect 0-5 in his predictions this postseason. If you went with the opposite of each Tim pick, you would have made a decent chunk of change this past month. Having seemingly jinxed a number of favorites, Bengals and Rams fans were understandably wary of the streamer’s pick – which singled out LA as the Super Bowl LVI champs. LA Rams cover Super Bowl stadium with TimTheTatman curse No one does predictions like @timthetatman https://t.co/LvWvjzHXOX pic.twitter.com/tdmNf3QlQU — Sports (@Sports) February 10, 2022 Once Tim picked the Rams, though, the team itself seemed to embrace it. His tweet, “Rams will win the Super Bowl” was plastered in bright lights across the entire roof of SoFi Stadium. Given the 0-5 record, that’s a bold decision, but might be the right level of confidence needed to finally break the jinx. The Super Bowl will be hosted at SoFi on Sunday, February 13. The Rams are currently favorites to win and there are only a few days left before we find out just how powerful Tim’s curse is.

Lacari crowned winner of Twitch’s Camp Knut with insane transformation Twitter: MizkifTwitch streamer Lacari has been crowned the champion of Mizkif’s gym-based event Camp Knut after receiving an overwhelming number of votes from fans. Mizkif struck viewership gold with his month-long Twitch fitness challenge Camp Knut. Bringing together various streamers from across the community, the event has been a struggle for some due to its strict diet plans and intense workout routines. However, with the help of fitness streamer Knut and strongman Hafthor Bjornsson, the challenge has gone on to become a hit among viewers. Not to mention, it’s also been a hugely successful event for Mizkif. However, as day 30 finally arrived, it was time to choose a winner. In the end, it was Lacari who, thanks to his incredible transformation and ability to ‘unify’ his teammates, was “the people’s champion.” Camp Knut officially comes to an end On August 22, the Camp Knut participants came together for the closing ceremony. Presenting a handful of awards around the room, OTK co-founder Asmongold, Knut, and his fellow trainer Wake gave the top award to Lacari. “This was never about having thick, rippling muscles,” Coach Wake said. “What it was about was motivating the people. Unifying them under the message that they too can change.” They claimed that due to his ability to “move the masses” Lacari was “the people’s champion” after having earned 48% of the vote from viewers. Topic begins at 1:18:40 in the video Of course, Mizkif received his fair share of praise for arranging Camp Knut. He later took to Twitter to describe how “proud” he was of his fellow participants, calling it “the best month of [his] life.” Lacari, meanwhile, was also proud of his achievement throughout the process posting a before and after picture showing off his impressive body transformation. So, Camp Knut is officially over for now. However, Mizkif is eager to arrange a potential future challenge with a little help from The Mountain.

Kyrie Irving says he won’t stream on Twitch because of how they “treat his friends” – Dexerto
Kyrie Irving says he won’t stream on Twitch because of how they “treat his friends” Twitch: Kai Cenat; Kai11xirvingKyrie Irving, a professional basketball player for Dallas Mavericks, spoke up about the reason why he won’t make any more content on Twitch. Irving has been streaming on his Kai11xirving Twitch channel between February 2022 and March 2023, although he only streamed 1 total hour in 2023. The basketball pro amassed an impressive 160,000 followers despite his infrequent appearances live and left many fans hungry for more of his content. One of said fans reached out to him on Twitter and said “we need you back on Twitch brotha,” to which Irving replied “Not worth it by the way they’re treating certain friends of mine on there. Gotta build us our own Platform where ish like that can’t happen.” Fans speculate about why Irving doesn’t want to stream on Twitch Naturally, this sparked a debate about which friends and what treatment Kyrie meant in his tweet, with different users arriving at different conclusions. Kai Mafia Updates shared their opinion on the situation by Tweeting: “Kyrie Irving says this about returning to Twitch which is him possibly talking about Twitch banning Kai Cenat.” Other users threw their two cents in the replies below the tweet, generally agreeing with Kai Mafia Updates. “He’s definitely talking about Kai and Bruce,” reads one of the most liked replies to the tweet. This also attracted a lot of users promoting Kick who suggest both Irving and Kai Cenat could stream over on Trainwreck’s platform. “Kick is the only way,” wrote a fan. Another user expressed a similar sentiment: “don’t get why Kai won’t take a leap of faith that will ensure him generational wealth by joining Kick.” As of right now, it’s unclear if Kyrie Irving will stream on any platform again, but it’s clear that the tensions between Kick and Twitch keep on rising. Earlier this week Trainwreck attracted some attention when he said Kick signing Dr Disrespect, NICKMERCS & Kai Cenat would be “wild.”

LA barber goes viral after leaked DMs reveal he’s charging $1000+ for single haircut – Dexerto
LA barber goes viral after leaked DMs reveal he’s charging $1000+ for single haircut Unsplash.com: Delfina PanAn LA-based barber is taking social media by storm after leaked DMs revealed he was charging clients over $1,000 for a single haircut, leaving netizens in shock. Depending on where one lives, haircuts can cost a pretty penny — but one barber’s eye-popping prices are throwing social media users for a loop. The whole situation started thanks to a tweet posted by user ‘Myneuver,’ who showed a screenshot of a text exchange between himself and his barber. The conversation began with the poster sharing their address, which is based out of Calabasas, California. It’s no secret that Southern California is an expensive place to live… but what the barber said in response has even Angelinos scratching their heads. LA barber outrages internet charging over $1000 for haircut “Alright cool, you’re about 50 minutes from me,” the barber replied before sharing his prices. “For house calls, I charge $350 an hour, plus a $1,000 travel fee,” he wrote. “Taper fade, line up and beard trim will take two and a half to three hours, so it’ll be $1,150.” The posted captioned the text messages, “Barbers in LA are insane” — and it looks like quite a few commenters are agreeing with him. “I wanna know who’s saying yes to this, ’cause unless you’re going in bald and leaving with a full head of hair, this is wild af,” one user wrote. I wanna know who’s saying yes to this cuz unless your going in bald and leaving with a full head of hair this is wild af — Adelia (@its_deelz) July 12, 2023 “Three hours FOR A TAPER AND BEARD LINE UP?” another exclaimed. “I’m bald so I’ve been out the game for a while, but back in my day, the longer a haircut took, the more that barber was f*ckin’ up.” 3 hours FOR A TAPER AND BEARD LINE UP??!!! I’m bald so I’ve been out the game for a while but back in my day, the longer a haircut took, the more that barber was fuckin up. Lol — CROCKPOT🤴🏾 (@Eric_Crocker) July 11, 2023 “I better be getting lined up with king Neptune’s trident,” another joked. It’s clear that the internet is aghast at this barber’s fees — and considering that the average cost of the mens’ haircut in America is around $40, this certainly seems like an upcharge of the highest level. This isn’t the first time an outrageously-priced service outraged the internet; in May, a private chef took TikTok by storm after claiming she made a $2,000 pizza for one of her celebrity clients.

Kylie Jenner’s viral TikTok reveals name she was nearly given at birth – Dexerto
Kylie Jenner’s viral TikTok reveals name she was nearly given at birth INSTAGRAM: KYLIEJENNERKylie Jenner revealed the name her parents almost gave her at birth, in a recent TikTok video that has gone viral. While participating in the ‘almost name’ TikTok trend, in which people share the name they were almost given at birth, Kylie revealed that her parents Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner almost gave her a completely different name. Her mom has famously given all her daughters names beginning with the letter K, as Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendal and Kylie all share the same initials. However, Kylie has now shared that the name her parents fell in love with and almost called her is Kennedy. In a viral video posted on August 17, the makeup mogul was seen cuddling in bed with her daughter Stormi, as text on the video read: “My name is Kylie but it was almost…Kennedy.” Despite liking the name she was almost called, Kylie admitted in the caption that it just “doesn’t hit the same” as her given name. Fans react to name Kylie Jenner was almost given The influencer’s fans were quick to leave comments under the recent video, pointing out that Kennedy would have been too similar to Kendall’s name, as her sister is often called Kenny for short. “Love that name but it would’ve been too close to Kendall,” one fan admitted. “It’s cute but a bit too similar to your sisters so Im glad they didn’t go with that name,” another fan commented. Others, however, thought it suited Kylie more than her given name. “Sorry but why do I like that name so much more than Kylie!!!! It suits her so much better,” a fan commented. Another fan agreed, adding “OMG! Kris made the wrong choice picking Kylie. Kennedy Jenner sounds so ace.” “No because Kennedy absolutely does suit you” a third fan wrote.

Kyootbot banned on Twitch again less than a week after unban – Dexerto
Kyootbot banned on Twitch again less than a week after unban Twitter: KyootbotTwitch’s most popular speed-dating streamer, Kyootbot, has been suspended from the platform again, only days after being unbanned – her third suspension in 2022. Previously banned in July, that time for inappropriate attire on stream, Kyootbot was then banned again on October 20 – with a potentially bizarre ban reason. Kyootbot said that she believes the reason for her ban was a link to “spicy content” in her bio, which is actually just a link to an image of jalapeno peppers. After being unbanned only 3 days later, on October 23, Kyootbot returned to streaming as normal. But, once again, her progress has been halted, as her account is now banned for a third time as of October 27. Why was Kyootbot banned? This time, the streamer hasn’t indicated the reason for her ban. Her only response so far is a tweet confirming the suspension. Some viewers have speculated that it could have been a result of suggestive titles on her stream. Her title on October 26 however, was fairly innocuous, and in keeping with her usual title style: “GIRLS SPEED DATING VIEWERS > Twitch does not publicly disclose ban reasons, nor comment on community guidelines violations to protect the privacy of users. The length of the ban is also unknown. However, given this is Kyootbot’s third ban of the year, it’s likely to last longer than previous suspensions. Twitch will often give longer bans for successive violations of the guidelines, eventually leading to indefinite bans.

Kylie Jenner’s daughter Stormi goes viral on TikTok with adorable video – Dexerto
Kylie Jenner’s daughter Stormi goes viral on TikTok with adorable video TIKTOK: KYLIEJENNERKylie Jenner’s four-year-old daughter Stormi has gone viral in a new TikTok video, gaining over 20 million views in less than a day. Jenner attended Travis Scott’s sold-out show in London last night, joined by her daughter Stormi. In a viral video shared by Kylie, the pair can be seen sitting with the crowd, enjoying the concert with 20,000 other people. The wholesome 23-second clip shows an excited Stormi, wearing a huge pair of headphones while cheering for her dad. Travis can be heard asking her if she’s “ready”, to which the four-year-old responds “yeah.” She’s later shown jumping up and down while Travis performs one of his hits. While Kylie’s videos always rack up millions of views, this one’s amassed a whopping 20 million in less than 24 hours, making it one of her fastest videos to go viral in less than a day. Fans and viewers react to viral Stormi video The adorable clip, trending on TikTok, has intrigued a lot of fans and viewers. “Kylie is such a queen, and Stormi is so adorbs” one fan commented. “Stormi is gonna vibe so much when she’s older” another fan wrote. “Nothing better than watching your dad kill something they love” someone else quipped. However, some were more concerned about Travis Scott being allowed to perform, after the Astroworld disaster in November 2021. A number of people were killed in a crowd surge during the event, held in NRG Park in Houston, Texas. “The fact that he can perform still is kinda wild and everyone is oblivious,” one viewer wrote. Another user agreed, adding “How is this man even allowed to perform live still after what happened.” The concert in London marked the first time that rapper Travis performs in an arena, since the tragic event of Astroworld, where people died during his performance. He continued to sing during the crowd surge until he was made aware of what had happened. Travis faced a lot of backlash for how he handled the situation and judging by the several comments under Kylie’s video, many have not forgiven the rapper just yet.

Kylie Jenner’s TikTok lookalike is going viral and people aren’t happy about it – Dexerto
Kylie Jenner’s TikTok lookalike is going viral and people aren’t happy about it TikTok: novaelisson, kyliejennerKylie Jenner has a lookalike that’s going viral on TikTok — but commenters aren’t exactly happy with the Kardashian doppelganger, telling her to “be yourself.” TikTok is one of the world’s biggest social media platforms. From sparking viral trends to creating must-try recipes and more, the app is also home to quite a few celebrity lookalikes that have taken the site by storm over the years. The latest of these internet-famous doppelgangers is TikTok user Nova Ellisson, who is the spitting image of makeup mogul, mom, and reality TV star Kylie Jenner. The resemblance is uncanny, earning the TikToker millions of views on some of her videos — including one where she used audio from ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’ Click here if TikTok fails to load. While some users were flabbergasted and awe-struck by the similarities, others weren’t so jazzed about it and essentially accused Ellisson of copying Kylie to get internet famous. “Be yourself bro, it’s fine,” one critic said. “They both probably are made by the same doctor,” another commenter wrote. “Why people ask her to be herself?” “Why does everyone look like Kylie now?” another asked. However, for as many critical comments are under Nova’s videos, there are just as many praising the TikToker for her content and her incredible resemblance to Kylie. Nova herself has spoken out on the backlash she’s received for her looks, positing that her critics might just be lashing out in “self-defense.” “In other words: ‘I’m being mean to you because I don’t want you to notice I’m insecure and deep down admire and envy you.’ It’s a self defense manner,” she wrote in a comment. Nova is far from the first celebrity lookalike to take over TikTok; recently, a Sadie Sink doppelganger turned heads on the platform for her shocking resemblance to the Stranger Things star while cosplaying at an official immersive experience for the hit Netflix show.

The Kardashians star shocked fans when she arrived at Paris Fashion Week on January 23, donning a lifelike lion’s head on her shoulder. Kylie’s black Schiaparelli dress was made of “foam, wool, and silk faux fur, and hand-painted to look as life-like as possible,” the brand revealed on Instagram. “NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN MAKING THIS LOOK,” the brand clarified, making it abundantly clear that the elaborate animal head is fake. The 25-year-old also shared an Instagram post, showing off her controversial gown. “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST,” she wrote in the caption. “Wow, I loved wearing this faux art creation constructed by hand using manmade materials. beautiful beautiful.” Kylie Jenner slammed for wearing lion head dress Despite the fact that the lion head is faux, many users still criticized the reality star and accused her of promoting trophy hunting. “This normalisation of trophy hunting is so wrong. Using the natural beauty of wildlife to ‘shock’ and stir controversy. How sad and empty,” one wrote in the comments. “It’s not cool at all, even if it’s faux, stop promoting the cruelty against the animals,” another commented. “Come on Kylie… I love you but come on. Man-made or not, promoting the acceptance of wearing animals as trophies is never okay,” a third shared. Surprisingly, animals rights organization PETA, who’s called out the Kardashians numerous times, came to Kylie’s defense. “Kylie, Naomi, and Irina’s looks celebrate the beauty of wild animals and may be a statement against trophy hunting,” PETA’s President told Page Six Style. “These fabulously innovative three-dimensional animal heads show that where there’s a will, there’s a way.” At the time of writing, Kylie Jenner has not yet responded to the backlash.

The makeup mogul, 23, did Caitlyn’s makeup for a video for her YouTube channel. Advertising the video to fans, Kylie said on her Instagram story: “Watch me do my dad’s makeup.” She also refers to Caitlyn as her dad several times in the video, such as when she said: “This is going to be the first time that I ever do my dad’s makeup.” This caused Kylie to receive criticism from fans, with many accusing her of being transphobic and misgendering Caitlyn.

Kylie Jenner & Timothee Chalamet breakup rumors declared “false” Instagram: kylietimotheeKylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet have reportedly broken up, but sources close to the celebrity couple claim otherwise. Though Kylie Jenner has two children with rapper Travis Scott, the two broke off their relationship around January this year. Jenner, being the founder and owner of her beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics, has kept busy representing her billion-dollar business since her split with Scott. However, months after their breakup, Jenner was reported to be dating Wonka actor Timothee Chalamet. Some fans now think the two are broken up, but what’s the truth? Sources close to Jenner and Chalamet share the truth about the couple Lately, many fans have keyed in on the fact that Jenner and Chalamet haven’t been photographed together, leading to the assumption that the two have broken up. However, sources close to the couple have reported to TMZ that they are still going strong together after seven months. The two initially met at the Jean Paul Gaultier show for Paris Fashion Week earlier this year and began dating as early as April. Though Jenner and Chalamet are still dating, people have gone as far as creating a rumor that Chalamet called Jenner the ‘worst’ person he’s ever been intimate with. Sources close to the celebrities explained otherwise, stating that fans should not “believe everything they read,” and that any reports that state the couple is not together are “false.” Though the duo stepped out in public together on multiple occasions during the beginning of their relationship, having gone on taco dates and secret rendezvous involving hickeys, they’ve since kept their outings on the down low. A source close to Jenner also reported to People Magazine that there could always be a reconciliation between her and the father of her two children, saying, “Part of her dating Timothee is in hopes of moving on from Travis, but that hasn’t happened yet.” The source continued, “There’s always a possibility of reconciling with Travis at some point.” Jenner, however, has not commented on her relationship status with Scott or Chalamet.

Kylie Jenner shuts down TikToker who claimed she’s trying to seem “relatable” with lipstick review – Dexerto
Kylie Jenner shuts down TikToker who claimed she’s trying to seem “relatable” with lipstick review TIKTOK: KYLIEJENNER/plasticchandlerKylie Jenner clapped back at a TikToker who criticized her and claimed she was trying to seem relatable despite her wealth. The makeup mogul responded to a content creator, who posts under the handle ‘plasticchandler,’ after he accused her of copying other TikTok creators to seem more relatable and normal. In his video, he suggested that her most recent review of her Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit was “very curated to the style of an influencer.” He said: “This is something Emma Chamberlain would post. And I just think it’s interesting because it’s like, you’re a billionaire, girl. Why are you reviewing lip kits in your car when you live in a multimillion-dollar home?” The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star responded to the TikToker’s criticism under his video. “It’s really not that deep or calculated. This video took me 5 mins to make. And yes, I still drive and do normal things,” she commented, gaining over 27,000 likes. On August 27, Kylie uploaded a video of herself showing the public some of her new lip kits. In the viral clip, she accidentally dropped her phone, let out a small scream, then went on to continue filming herself applying a lip blush in the car. Many users echoed plasticchandler’s sentiment that she was being inauthentic, and faking her relatability. “Apparently she’s just like us… just dropping my phone and pretending I just got my own lipstick from CVS,” one user wrote. “Girl did you just walk out the mansion to go in your car as if you went to the store and couldn’t wait to try it,” another user added. “How to be relatable: Step one: Get in to the car. Step two: Drop phone, THAT’S IT,” someone else shared. “That was the most intentional drop I’ve ever seen,” a fourth person said. Kylie’s recent shift in content has led many to believe that she’s attempting to be perceived as “normal.” She’s been participating in many TikTok trends and challenges, and most recently joined the ‘almost name’ trend to reveal the name her parents almost gave her at birth.

Kylie Jenner slammed by fans for using viral TikTok aging filter – Dexerto
Kylie Jenner slammed by fans for using viral TikTok aging filter As one of the world’s most famous beauty moguls, it’s no surprise that fans had their opinions when Kylie Jenner used TikTok’s viral aging filter, stating that she can afford to stop her skin from aging, unlike others. Co-founder and owner of Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Jenner, recently faced backlash from fans for using TikTok’s viral aging filter. The filter showed what it would look like if Kylie was older, with wrinkles and circles under her eyes. Fans were then quick to judge the beauty mogul for using the filter, saying she could afford to fix what others can’t. Kylie Jenner fans said “Ur rich don’t worry” in response to the aging face filter Kylie Jenner first started selling Lip Kits for Kylie Cosmetics in 2015 when her company launched. She’s been a part of her family’s show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians and The Kardashians, since its inception in 2007. She will continue to be on the E! show for the upcoming fourth season, which will be released exclusively to Hulu. Over the years, Kylie has garnered the likes of millions, having earned the title of the most Instagram followers for multiple years before Selena Gomez made her social media comeback in May of 2023. With 397 million followers on Instagram and 53.8 million on TikTok, it’s no surprise that when Kylie posted a video using the viral aging filter to her account, fans showed their disapproval with critical comments. The video showed Kylie, 25, with wrinkles, sagging skin, and circles under her eyes, looking as if she were older than her mother, Kris Jenner, who is 67. Fans of Kylie’s responded to her post with scrutiny, saying, “You’re rich, don’t worry, you will fix it just like you fixed everything before.” While another said, “I literally see your real face for the first time [embarrassed face emoji].” Though there were fans who slammed Kylie for making a mockery out of something she can afford to fix, others took to TikTok to share their support, saying, “Still beautiful,” as well as, “I love your natural era.” Having opened up about cosmetic surgery to Paper Magazine in 2019, Kylie shared, “People think I fully went under the knife and completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false.” Kylie isn’t the only Kardashian-Jenner using viral TikTok filters, as North West went viral for applying a face-altering filter on her younger sister Chicago.

But people are firmly divided over which category this latest lookalike falls in.

Kylie Jenner joins viral campaign calling on Instagram to “stop trying to be TikTok” – Dexerto
Kylie Jenner joins viral campaign calling on Instagram to “stop trying to be TikTok” Instagram: Kylie JennerKylie Jenner is now one of the highest profile figures to show her support for the “stop trying to be TikTok” campaign calling on Instagram to go back to its roots as a photo-focused social media platform. Instagram users have begun a campaign that is asking the platform to preserve its status as a photo-based social media platform rather than increasingly moving towards a format like TikTok. The initial post calling out the platform has already been liked by millions, with photographers and other influencers also getting on board and sharing the post. However, the campaign is likely to gain much more following now Kylie Jenner has reposted the message. Jenner is one of the most influential socialites in the world. Her Instagram account has over 360 million followers. It’s fair to say that her public support of this movement is likely to bring a lot more attention to it and get the ball rolling in regards to addressing the issues users are having with the platform. Reporter Frank Pallotta highlighted the potential ramifications it could have for Instagram if they do not take action: “The last time Kylie Jenner complained about a social media site, Snapchat lost $1.3 [billion].” What is the “stop trying to be TikTok” campaign? The now-viral campaign all started when one Instagram user posted on their story. “Make Instagram Instagram again,” the post reads. “Stop trying to be TikTok I just want to see cute photos of my friends.” These comments are largely due to the recent emphasis the platform has been placing on its Insta reels section. This area of Instagram largely consists of TikTok videos or those of a similar style. It has now become one of the main features for Instagram. The campaign is wanting to remove this push and instead have Instagram focus on the image and photography elements that have always been the centrepiece of the app. This issue began to pick up traction when photographer Tati Bruening shared the post with the added comments of “sincerely, everyone” featured below. Her post has now amassed over 1.2 million likes. On her Instagram story, Bruening also shares a link to a change.org petition that is related to this issue claiming that she is “starting a movement” to bring about change for Instagram. The petition calls on the platform to bring back old features that were once included in the app. Things such as Chronological timelines and an algorithm that favors photos were highlighted as being two key areas for improvement on Instagram. Some of those who have signed the petition have reiterated this desire to have Instagram be more photo-focused. “Instagram is a picture-sharing website at heart. No need for every app to be the exact same… we want to see our friends’ pictures and drawings, not 5-sec videos,” one petitioner said. The final words of the petition reiterated that this movement is all about wanting the app to revert to its roots. “The goal of this petition is to bring attention to what consumers want from Instagram and to start a conversation surrounding the health of our beloved app.” The petition currently has over 100,000 signatures with that number continuing to grow at a rapid pace.

Kylie Jenner has perfect reaction to TikToker making fun of her baby name Instagram: kyliejennerKylie Jenner couldn’t contain her laughter at a TikToker’s humorous rendition of how she and Travis Scott went about choosing a name for their baby son. Kylie Jenner welcomed her second child into the world with partner Travis Scott in February 2022. At first, the couple claimed their baby boy’s name was Wolf Webster — a choice that fans couldn’t help but poke fun of. On her part, Kylie claimed that the name was the result of a last-minute decision in the hospital to get something on the birth certificate. Nearly a year later, Kylie revealed that she and Scott have finally chosen a name for their son: Aire, pronounced like the word, ‘Air.’ This name has also prompted a few jokes among Kylie’s fanbase, and one TikToker couldn’t help but compare Kylie and Travis’s naming decision to the opening credits of Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender series. Kylie Jenner responds after TikToker pokes fun at her baby’s name TikTok star ‘Simzy’ uploaded a humorous skit acting out the scene, which he captioned: “Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott deciding on a baby name.” In the clip, Kylie (portrayed by Simzy) suggests the four different elements to Scott, who has some sort of epiphany when she finally lands on ‘air.’ At the time of writing, Simzy’s video has racked up over 19 million views — and it even caught the attention of Kylie, herself, who had an equally hilarious reaction to the joke. In fact, the socialite left a string of crying laughing emojis in the comment section, clearly amused at the TikToker’s take on her and Scott’s naming process. Of course, commenters are sharing their own jokes about the situation as a result, with one user saying: “I hope Stormi and Aire don’t fight or there will be a tornado.” This is just the latest Kardashian-Jenner hilarity to take over TikTok after North West transformed herself into her father with a near-perfect face filter.

Kyedae, who is the partner of Cloud9 and Sentinels Valorant star Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo, was watching him tear up the competition in VCT Stage 2 before she cut her broadcast early on April 24. Across the length of her five-hour stream, select members in her Twitch chat were bullying her about her “perfect life” and saying she has it easy. Kyedae broke down in tears after it became too much, ending the stream earlier than expected. “Hey guys, I think I’m going to end my stream right now. I’m sorry,” she said, holding back tears. “For those of you guys who think that I have a perfect life, I don’t. It’s so rude to undermine these struggles that everyone goes through because everyone goes through different stuff. It’s just really fucked up.” However, her hundreds of thousands of fans, and the rest of the Twitch community, is standing by Kyedae’s side and defending her.

She also deleted the VOD shortly after. However, the whole of Twitch — aside from a few nasty trolls — are right behind her.

Kyedae might shave her head before cancer treatment and wants other streamers to join in – Dexerto
Kyedae might shave her head before cancer treatment and wants other streamers to join in Twitch: kyedaeKyedae is contemplating shaving her head ahead of her cancer treatment, and wants to recruit other streamers to shave their heads with her, including tarik, 39daph, and TenZ. Kyedae, one of the most popular Valorant streamers, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, she revealed earlier this month. And like many patients going into cancer treatment Kyedae has a difficult choice to make before even starting. According to sources like NHS inform, not all cancer treatment methods cause hair loss, but it is a serious consideration one has to make before starting such treatment. Kyedae did discuss this topic with a specialist, too. Seeing one’s hair shedding in the middle of treatment can be demotivating and the treatment requires a lot of mental and physical strength. Kyedae revealed though, that she is considering shaving it before it starts falling out on its own, possibly even during a stream. Furthermore, the Valorant streamer is inviting other streamers like tarik, TenZ, and 39daph to shave their head with her. The streamer also commented that “hair loss begins 2 to 4 weeks from now”, and that doctors said she will lose about “40% of her hair” because she will be using a cold cap, which is a technology that reduces hair loss during such treatments. Kyedae speaks up about shaving her head On her stream, Kyedae bounced these ideas off her chat. The comment section on YouTube for the clip is filled with support for her and advice from people who had to go through chemotherapy. “Morale is super important during treatment, you don’t want to wake up one day scratch your head and a clump of hair falls out, not to mention depending on your treatment plan as time goes on you just become exhausted to the point that holding your head up is tiring, just shave it,” advises one viewer. Kyedae continues to wow fans with her attitude, even poking fun at her diagnosis in her award speech at Streamer Awards.

Kyedae opens up on cancer diagnosis, admits she kept it a secret from Tenz – Dexerto
Kyedae opens up on cancer diagnosis, admits she kept it a secret from Tenz Twitter: KyedaeValorant superstar Kyedae “Kyedae” Shymko opened up about her cancer diagnosis in a recent Twitch stream where she admitted she kept it secret from her fiance, TenZ, so he could focus on VCT LOCK//IN. Kyedae is essentially Valorant royalty at this point. She is one of the most followed streamers in the scene, with a loyal fan base behind her and she is also engaged to Sentinel’s star player Tyson “TenZ” Ngo. So when she announced she was diagnosed with Leukemia last week, the entire community gave their wholehearted support to the queen of Valorant. Despite her diagnosis, however, she announced plans to continue streaming through the treatment, and has followed through on that with multiple broadcasts already. In her initial comeback stream following the announcement, she explained more about her new situation. Although the news was grave, Kyedae still kept her stream light and breezy as it normally is, even poking fun at her own diagnosis at times and admitting she had no idea how to talk about it. “When I found out I had cancer, I actually just laughed,” she said on stream. “I apologize if I trigger any of you, or make any of you feel uncomfortable, but all I’ve been doing during this is laughing,” she continued. “Because let’s be real here, if I get sad and then go ‘oh I have cancer,’ it’s not going to go poof and go away.” She then opened up on the diagnosis itself, revealing she didn’t tell anybody about it when she first received the news. In fact, “not even [her] mom or dad” were informed right away. Her fiance Tenz was also kept out of the loop “until after his tournament,” she added. “Because I just wanted to make sure he was fully focused on his game and his work before I broke the news.” Kyedae also gave an update on her treatment to her viewers, saying her chemotherapy will most likely cause hair loss before long. Even just a few days into treatment and the beloved content creator is already feeling side effects with various health complications, though she’s continuing to push through and stream to her audience for now. Despite the grave news, she added she doesn’t want her audience to see her any differently. Saying in the stream, “honestly, don’t treat me any differently, treat me like a normal person.” As a result, Kyedae still plans on streaming regularly moving forward, but she admitted the schedule will be much more irregular as her treatment advances.

Kyedae leaves toxic Valorant player lost for words after trash talking her – Dexerto
Kyedae leaves toxic Valorant player lost for words after trash talking her Twitch: kyedaeA toxic Valorant player was left speechless after he recognized Twitch streamer and 100 Thieves content creator Kyedae’s voice in-game, causing him to shut up entirely. Like many other games, Valorant has its fair share of problems when it comes to toxicity and trolling from players. While Riot has made attempts to with necessary changes to battle the ongoing issues, they’re still prominent. However, one toxic player got the shock of their life when they recognized popular Twitch streamer Kyedae’s voice in-game – which made them shut up entirely. During Kyedae’s June 9 live stream, the 20-year-old Valorant streamer called out her teammate in-game who died after not sticking with the team. “Brimstone, do you mind playing site with us next time, we really need you,” said the 100 Thieves content creator. However, the player’s reaction was far from expected. “Shut up,” the player responded, before recognizing the voice he heard after a split second. “Is that Kyedae?” he asked, before going quiet. Left unimpressed by the situation entirely, “Wow, you see that? that’s f**king crazy, he was about to be an a**hole. That’s f**ked,” Kyedae said to her chat, who were also lost for words after witnessing what happened. After finishing the round, and having some time for thought, Kyedae explained how it sucks to see her treated differently because she’s a known creator. “You guys see that, that’s what sucks so bad. He will literally tell a woman to shut the f**k up when it’s anyone else but me,” the streamer said. “But now he recognized my voice he won’t do that. It’s like the biggest loser sh*t you could possibly do,” she added. Regardless, hopefully, Riot continue to improve its voice and in-game chat toxicity reporting system to further punish toxic players.

Kyedae’s win at The Streamer Awards has cemented her as the queen of Valorant, however, she explains why she felt dread more than happiness at winning the award. She commented on the announcement tweet which revealed her win, saying, “the moment I won I felt more dread than anything because I knew the hate I’d get.” Continuing to say that tarik was more deserving of the award, but the award was fan-voted so it’s not really something she could control. Naturally, the streaming community congratulated her on her achievement and told her to ignore the rabid haters. With tarik even replying to her, “Kyedae I’m seriously sorry that you gotta even deal with that bs, you actually grind hard as f*** and 100% deserve the recognition.” Many other fans came in support for Kyedae, despite the many visibly negative comments reacting to her win instead of tarik. In particular, fans praised the Valorant star for being a big influencer to other female content creators in the scene. Despite the looming hate messages she knew she was going to receive, she still received the award in good spirits, with an over-excited TenZ cheering on for her when her name was called out at the show. She even, macabrely, made fun of her own cancer diagnosis in her short acceptance speech for the award. “I didn’t have a speech prepared today because I was expecting someone else to win. But I did talk to QT on the sidelines and this was my Make-A-Wish, so thank you very much, everyone, I appreciate it” she said upon receiving the trophy.

Kyedae and 100 Thieves part ways after three years – Dexerto
Kyedae and 100 Thieves part ways after three years Instagram: kyedaeshymkoKyedae, a content creator largely known for streaming Valorant, has parted ways with gaming and esports brand 100 Thieves after spending three years with the org. Kyedae had a difficult 2023, as the 22-year-old content creator was hit with a cancer diagnosis and the health issues that her condition entailed. The streamer understandably had a dip in productivity in terms of output on social media, but has still managed to stream to thousands of viewers since her diagnosis. The creator is also the fiancé of Valorant pro Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo. TenZ and Kyedae have risen to the top of the streaming and Valorant content creation ranks, with Kyedae signing with 100 Thieves as a creator on April 13, 2021. Since her signing, Kyedae has created content with the wider 100 Thieves cast and regularly co-streamed professional Valorant. However, her time with the brand has come to an end as 100 Thieves announced her departure on January 23, 2024. Kyedae and 100 Thieves part ways “Thank you for believing in me at the start of my career!! Much love to everyone at 100T,” Kyedae said of the announcement. At the time of writing, neither 100 Thieves nor Kyedae have revealed why the two parted ways. The creator was seen streaming on Twitch before the announcement came through and is an independent streamer, for now. 100 Thieves is considered one of the more creator-focused brands in the gaming and esports industry. The company’s CEO was once a professional Call of Duty player and is still considered a top-tier influencer. 100 Thieves also brought in creators Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter and Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop as co-owners of the brand in 2021. Kyedae still streams to thousands of viewers and could be snatched up by another content creator brand like Sentinels, which employs TenZ as a Valorant pro, or OfflineTV.

Kson and Amemiya Nazuna dominate Twitch during VShojo debuts – Dexerto
Kson and Amemiya Nazuna dominate Twitch during VShojo debuts Twitch: Amemiya NazunaVShojo’s Japan expansion has started off strong after Kson and Amemiya Nazuna dominated Twitch during their July 17 debuts. The VTubers both peaked at more than 30,000 concurrent viewers during their hour-long broadcasts. It was the much-hyped reveal at Anime Expo: VShojo’s expansion into Japan with two new VTubers, Kson and Amemiya Nazuna. After a couple of weeks of anticipation, the duo finally debuted on July 17 to much fanfare as they dominated Twitch stats across the day. Kson’s redebut with her iconic model wasn’t all smooth sailing. Battling internet issues throughout the broadcast, the delinquent VTuber was fighting technology as fans laughed in chat. But they came in droves as they watched the popular once-independent reintroduce herself to her new audience. 33,540 viewers tuned in at the peak of Kson’s stream as she described her reasoning behind returning to an agency. “In this VTuber industry, not every VTuber has the ability to do whatever they want. They’re not in a circumstance to do whatever the f**k they want because they don’t have their talent-first management, so I wanted to make a change in a fun way,” Kson stated. “I don’t want to say any bad things about it though — I’m not trying to throw anything or anyone under the bus. I just want everyone to have fun. “I’m in a precious family now.” That was all building hype for the main event though — Amemiya Nazuna’s debut. However, even that didn’t go according to plan. The VTuber slept through their alarm, coming on stream 10 minutes late and profusely apologizing for the delay: “Though there are definitely places to improve on, I hope you guys continue to support me going forward,” she said at the end. More than 50,000 people watched the reveal, and while she spoke primarily in Japanese for the stream, VShojo had organized live translations with Kamishiro Taishi. The Hong Kong-based VTuber was transcribing what Nazuna was saying live for viewers — including all the pettan jokes — making it easy to access for the agency’s English audience. That didn’t stop Nazuna from trying her best though, thanking everyone for coming along — in English. She even mentioned the stream could make for a good way to learn the language. Kson and Amemiya Nazuna will now be streaming regularly on Twitch instead of YouTube, which is a departure from the norm for Japanese VTubers. However, expect plenty of collaborations with other Japanese stars, as well as their fellow VShojo English members.

KSI agrees to fight Austin McBroom after roasting YouTube vs TikTok fight – Dexerto
KSI agrees to fight Austin McBroom after roasting YouTube vs TikTok fight Instagram: Austin McBroom / Instagram: KSIKSI’s banter on the YouTube vs TikTok boxing event caught the attention of Austin McBroom, who’s on the lookout for his next matchup to continue the celebrity boxing bouts. One of the first celebrity fighters from the YouTube platform, KSI hasn’t been in the ring since his debut fight versus Logan Paul in 2019. Since then, other content creators have gotten into the boxing craze and only expanded the trend. McBroom just got done with the YouTubers vs TikTokers event where he had a TKO win against Bryce Hall, and, following some KSI trash talk, it looks like he’s interested in meeting the British YouTuber in the ring someday. “I would beat every single person on that card,” KSI said in his June 18 YouTube upload. “Including Austin, Gib.” The related clip begins at 1:24 KSI says he’s on a “different level” than the people featured in YouTube vs TikTok. If he would come back to fighting, he would want to set his sights to someone like Jake Paul. But this didn’t go unnoticed by McBroom, who responded to the jab by saying he was ready whenever KSI wanted to get back into the ring. McBroom is going to organize a sequel event called Battle of the Platforms 2. While this could mean anyone from places like Twitter, Twitch and the like are on the table, it could also have YouTuber vs YouTuber actions. View this post on Instagram After his win at YouTube vs TikTok, McBroom announced that fans can definitely expect to see him in the ring again to continue his fighting career. Banter between has led to them verbally agreeing for a fight, but it remains to be seen if we’ll be seeing the matchup play out. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1406409875429621761 At the moment, nothing is official between McBroom and KSI for his return to the sport, but it could bring a ton of attention for any possible bout in the future.

Kson admits she would leave VShojo if offered a better contract elsewhere – Dexerto
Kson admits she would leave VShojo if offered a better contract elsewhere ksonPopular Vtuber Kson has admitted that whilst VShojo treats her well she wouldn’t hesitate to leave if offered a “way better,” contract elsewhere. Multiple members have left VShojo with Veibae and Silvervale exiting on April 25 and Nyanners following suit on May 1. This mass exodus has seen several VShojo members speak about the departures, mostly offering support and kind words to the departed talents. Now Kson, another VShojo member, has offered her insight admitting she’d consider leaving too if the right offer came along. Kson would leave VShojo for a “way better” contract Speaking on Twitter, VShojo Japan star Kson admitted that she would leave the Vtuber agency if offered a “way better,” contract at another company. On her contract situation, Kson said: “VshojoJP is treating me very good right now but if there is an agent that can give me a way more better contract, like giving me 1M$ per month sponsorship, and if Vshojo couldn’t afford more, hell yeah I’m down. Contracts are business after all!” This tweet was posted in response to Veibae, Silvervale, and Nyanners’ exit from VShojo. Some members of the Vtuber community had speculated that this was due to personal reasons despite Vei explaining that it was strictly financially motivated. She went on to directly address fans trying to stir up drama: “I don’t understand why people want drama for this. People do the same thing in social life. Talents too have the right to choose wherever they are happy to be at. I don’t care about anything if the talents themselves are happy with their fans.” Kson started out as an independent Vtuber streaming on YouTube six years ago. After various activities, she later joined VShojo alongside Nazuna Amemiya to become the first members of the Japanese branch on July 2, 2022.

KSI’s trainer reveals potential rematch date with Logan Paul – Dexerto
KSI’s trainer reveals potential rematch date with Logan Paul Popular YouTuber KSI’s boxing trainer, Viddal Riley, revealed a possible rematch date for KSI’s upcoming fight with Logan Paul. In an interview with the Daily Star, Viddal stated that organizers were seeking a date in April or May of 2019, as opposed to earlier speculation of February. “Logan wants to fight in December to get it out the way, but that isn’t going to happen,” he answered. “He also wanted February. That won’t happen. We are looking for a date in April or May, now.” Their fight was originally contracted as a two-event deal, with the leaked contract stating that the rematch would take place in February. The second fight was set to throw down in the United States, as well, although a venue has yet to be determined. KSI himself stated in a recent interview with TMZ Sports that May would be a “good time” for a rematch. “That’s what I’m thinking,” he answered. “I’m thinking that’s a good time.” https://www.capitalfm.com/news/celebrity/ksi-logan-paul-fight-rematch-date-venue-tickets/ Additionally, it looks like Viddal won’t be working as closely with KSI as he did before, although he will still act as the YouTuber’s trainer. “I have my own career to take care of now,” he said to the Star in reference to his amateur boxing career, “but I still want to be involved with the KSI.” While Logan was able to hold is own in their August 25 match, there’s no telling how either YouTuber will fare in their next fight – which could be quite a ways off, to the potential dismay of fans.

KSI’s trainer says Jake Paul bout won’t happen directly after Dillon Danis fight – Dexerto
KSI’s trainer says Jake Paul bout won’t happen directly after Dillon Danis fight YouTube: BS w/ Jake Paul, JJ OlatunjiKSI’s trainer, Leon Willis, has claimed that the YouTuber’s long-awaited bout against Jake Paul probably won’t happen directly after his upcoming match against Dillon Danis next year. KSI is pulling out all the stops when it comes to influencer boxing. In 2022 alone, he’s managed to partner his Misfits Boxing company with DAZN for a series of high-profile influencer boxing matches, on top of his prolific ‘two fights, one night’ event over the summer where he emerged victorious over Swarmz and Luis Pineda. Now, KSI is gearing up to get back in the ring against another hot-shot opponent — this one being mixed martial artist Dillon Danis. Although the two have been ramping up the rumors for some time, things came to a head when both parties clashed at the weigh-in for the latest Misfits x DAZN boxing event on November 19. A day later, KSI confirmed that he and Danis will be facing off on January 14. However, fans aren’t letting him forget about his promised match with Jake Paul, which both influencers seemed to agree for some time in 2023. KSI’s trainer says Jake Paul fight will have to wait This matter was brought up in a Twitter Spaces discussion with KSI’s trainer, Leon Willis, who said that it isn’t likely we’ll see KSI and Jake Paul face off directly after his bout with Dillon. Instead, it’s more likely that KSI has another ‘buffer’ match in between to help him get in tip-top shape, since he took a break for nearly two years to focus on music while Jake was scoring wins left and right. “I think he will have another fight,” Willis said in response to a fan’s question. “He ain’t gonna fight Jake straight after Dillon Danis. There’ll definitely be someone else in line.” This could give fans a broad timeline of when they’ll see these YouTube rivals touch gloves; with KSI vs Danis happening in January, another bout will likely take place over the summer, meaning Jake Paul vs KSI could happen later in 2023. While it’s unclear who KSI will take on next, there have been quite a few other influencers who have been happy to call out the British internet star, not the least of which is former UFC champ Tyron Woodley.

KSI’s Reveals the Most Annoying Thing About the Fight With Logan Paul – Dexerto
KSI’s Reveals the Most Annoying Thing About the Fight With Logan Paul The KSI vs Logan Paul boxing event lived up to the hype for many within the online entertainment scene. Held on August 25 at the Manchester Arena, KSI vs Logan Paul was dubbed as the ‘Largest event in internet history’ leading up to the show match between the two YouTube titans. KSI and Paul duked it out in the ring for a total of six rounds, however, the bout ended in a draw after the decision was sent to the judge’s table. While some believed that the match would not be close prior to it start, both competitors showed that they put the necessary work in beforehand which left many commenting on how entertaining the event was. Now that it is all said and done, KSI uploaded a video titled ‘My response to KSI vs Logan Paul’ where he provided some follow-up information regarding his time spent after the fight, and revealed the most ‘annoying’ thing about boxing Logan Paul. “The most annoying thing about [Logan Paul] was him ‘clinching.’ He constantly clinched, man, it was so annoying. Then when I hit him with a big shot he would just cower and just hold on to me, and was obviously using his wrestling background to make sure I didn’t get away. And that’s why there were a few times during the fight I was shrugging him off and the referee was having a ‘go’ at me for that. But I was like, ‘yo, I need to do something, he’s trying to waste time.” The full video from KSI can be found below.

KSI’s rise to fame is now being taught in British schools – Dexerto
KSI’s rise to fame is now being taught in British schools YouTube: KSIKSI’s career has reached a new milestone, because his rise to internet stardom is now an official part of the UK education system. Fans realized that British students studying Media will be taught about KSI, his YouTube beginnings, and what made him so popular after snippets from an A-level media textbook went viral within the community. The textbook highlighted KSI’s ability to adapt to internet trends and diversify his content, and uses him as an example of how influencers can maintain relevancy over long periods of time. The textbook is for the Eduqas exam board, one of the largest boards in the UK. KSI’s career becomes part of British A-level curriculum An A-Level student studying Media in the UK posted the textbook page to KSI’s subreddit, where it quickly caught the community’s attention. The textbook describes KSI as “an interesting product in terms of genre”, because of the way he represents a brand rather than a particular genre of media. It also said that “KSI has been clever in anticipating internet trends of the past decade”, and challenged its students to identify what makes his content so “personal and authentic”. The textbook uses KSI as a demonstration of differences between “traditional celebrities” and influencers, saying: “Instead of attracting fans with their beauty and luxurious lifestyles, influencers rely on two main qualities: “authenticity and relatability”. KSI responded to the find on Twitter, saying: “I’m legit one of the topics you have to study for A-level media in schools now”. Strangely, the textbook also describes the Sidemen as a “British rap band”, which isn’t exactly the most accurate way to describe the YouTube group that KSI co-founded. For more news and updates on KSI, check out who he and Logan Paul unveiled as the first Prime athletes from the UFC.

KSI’s new boxing opponent responds to backlash over “white power” tattoo YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI announced he would be taking two fights when he returns to boxing on August 27 — but his new opponent is coming under fire for having a tattoo that says “white power.” KSI has faced a slew of difficulties scheduling his highly-anticipated comeback match on August 27. At first, KSI was slated to face off against American YouTuber Alex Wassabi in the main event… but mere weeks out from fight night, Wassabi pulled out due to an alleged concussion. Luckily, KSI had a backup opponent in his contract and is instead taking on British rapper ‘Swarmz’ — but on August 16, the YouTuber upped the ante in an unexpected way. KSI’s opponent blasted over controversial tattoo Now, KSI is fighting two opponents, adding Bulgarian pro boxer Ivan Nikolov to the fray. Although this development came as a surprise to fans, another issue has arisen in just 24 hours after Nikolov’s addition to the card. Fans were quick to notice an offensive tattoo on the Bulgarian boxer’s midsection, which reads “white power” in big, elaborate lettering. Viewers criticized Nikolov’s tattoo on social media, prompting the middleweight fighter to publish a statement on social media in response to the issue. Nikolov responds In his reply, Nikolov argued that the tattoo “has absolutely no relevance to an outdated opinion and simply refers to my own belief in my strength and power as an athlete.” “I have no criminal record, or involvement with the police, regarding any racial issues,” he added. “I now understand how the tattoo can be misinterpreted, but I passionately distance myself from any other meaning it may have other than representing my force as a competitor.” KSI has yet to give his reply to the issue at the time of writing, but his fans are certainly concerned, taking to his subreddit to point out several other allegedly racist tattoos on the fighter’s body — including some ink that says “white madness” on the top of Nikolov’s head. For now, it looks as though KSI vs Nikolov is still set to go at the end of the month until further information is released.

KSI’s manager responds after Alex Wassabi calls out rematch clause in boxing match – Dexerto
KSI’s manager responds after Alex Wassabi calls out rematch clause in boxing match YouTube: Joe Weller, Ladbible TVYouTuber Alex Wassabi is feeling a little sus about a rematch clause in the contract of his upcoming boxing match against KSI, but KSI’s manager says it’s just standard procedure. British YouTube star KSI is set to face off against fellow creator Alex Wassabi in late August. This bout follows months of trash talk between the two influencers, which sparked after Wassabi beat KSI’s little brother, Deji, in a boxing match last year. The beef that followed was enough to spark an official match, marking KSI’s big boxing comeback after years out of the ring and focusing on music. However, Wassabi noticed something that he thinks is a little fishy in the contract for their upcoming fight, claiming that there’s a rematch clause hidden in the fine print — despite KSI’s big talk if he loses. Wassabi opened up about his concerns in an interview with Joe Weller, who fought KSI back in 2018 before his viral rivalry with KSI. “I’m pretty sure he said, ‘If I lose to Alex, I’m done with music, I’m done with YouTube,’ and he said he’s never boxing again,” Wassabi claimed. “So let me ask you this, Joe…why is there a rematch clause?” “I’m sure he’s gonna be like, ‘Oh, what? I didn’t even know. My team made me put that in the contract.’” (Topic begins at 15:09) However, KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, had a totally different take on Wassabi’s concerns. In an Instagram comment, he claimed that this is par for the course when it comes to most boxing matches. “I absolutely put that in the contract,” he confirmed. “That’s standard for A-Side! Wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t.” KSI himself has yet to speak on the issue, but this wouldn’t be his first rematch; after a draw against Paul in 2018, the two faced off again a year later, with KSI ultimately emerging victorious. Of course, there’s no way to tell who will win this upcoming fight… but KSI is betting that after he takes out Wassabi, Jake Paul will be next on the docket.

KSI’s manager says fight vs Jake Paul might happen before Tommy Fury rematch – Dexerto
KSI’s manager says fight vs Jake Paul might happen before Tommy Fury rematch IG: Jake Paul; YT: LadbibleTVMams Taylor, KSI’s manager has stated that the fight between Jake Paul and KSI might take place sooner than previously thought. The showdown between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury has come to an end, with Fury winning over the Paul brother. Soon after the fight, KSI stated via his Twitter that he would “destroy” both of the fighters followed by a video mocking Jake for not drinking enough prime. Following up on KSI’s passion on display Mam Taylor, his manager, stated that they are considering moving the KSI vs Jake Paul from December to somewhere in the Summer so that KSI might fight Jake before he goes on to rematch with Tommy Fury. Mam Taylor considering moving KSI vs Jake Paul fight sooner A tweet reporting on this from ICBN has garnered a variety of reactions from both boxers fans. “So as soon as Jake loses they suddenly want the fight asap? They have been stalling this out for months because of “Ksi’s Journey” and now will go back on that as soon as he loses,” points out one of the replies. “That is very smart booking on KSI’s side,” another says. Whether fans think KSI or Jake have better chances and whether this booking would be opportunistic based on the current hype is irrelevant as Jake Paul has confirmed hours after this claim went viral, he will focus on rematching Tommy Fury first. “KSI has yet to fight a real opponent so we don’t even know his actual skill level, but obviously that’s still a massive fight. But I’m gonna go back for this rematch, I just talked to Tommy in the medical room and he’s like ‘let’s go, let’s do it again’,” said Jake Paul in a post-match interview For all the latest influencer boxing news and updates, be sure to check out our boxing coverage right here.

KSI’s manager estimates over 15 million people pirated Prime Card boxing event – Dexerto
KSI’s manager estimates over 15 million people pirated Prime Card boxing event DAZN / WassermanKSI’s manager Mams Taylor has estimated that over 15 million people pirated the Prime Card boxing event. On October 14, KSI went blow for blow with Tommy Fury, all while Logan Paul touched gloves with Dillon Danis on the same night. Dubbed the ‘Prime Card‘, it’s fair to say the event was the most anticipated influencer boxing card we’ve seen to date. The Prime Card was action-packed, to say the least, and although some thought the performance in the ring was the “worst boxing match” they’d seen, the PPV numbers tell a different story. According to reports, the Prime Card sold a staggering 1.3 million PPV buys, making it DAZN’s biggest show of the year so far. However, according to KSI’s manager, upwards of 15 million users watched the fight illegally. KSI’s manager claims millions illegally watched Prime Card Talking with Fred Beck in a recent November 12 interview, Mams Taylor revealed how he believes the PPV model will soon die, before disclosing just how many pirated the Prime Card. “I think the natural evolution is that PPV will die in five to 10 years,” he said. “The piracy is crazy.” Mams continued: “The level of piracy on the Prime Card was absolutely… honestly anywhere from 15x above, more than 15x above the actual pay-per-view number.” (Timestamp at 6:31) According to reports, the Prime Card sold approximately 1.3 million PPV buys, which would equate to more than 15 million users that watched the fight illegally. However, Mams believes the figure of those who pirated the fight is higher. “North of that,” he said. “Obviously you can’t account for all of it, and some of it is some guesswork and everything else.” Since fight night, several fighters have appealed the result of their bout, including KSI who claimed it was an “outrageous” decision that went in Fury’s favor.

KSI’s manager leaks Logan Paul’s next possible boxing match – Dexerto
KSI’s manager leaks Logan Paul’s next possible boxing match YouTube: Logan PaulKSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, has teased Logan Paul’s next possible boxing match as the influencer recovers from a knee injury he received during a WWE bout. YouTube star Logan Paul is one of the most prominent influencer-boxers on the net — but after receiving a serious knee injury, fans are worried that he might not get back in the ring anytime soon. Check out the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Amazon Paul notably suffered a torn meniscus, MCL, and ACL after his high-flying match against Roman Reigns earlier this month, leaving him unable to train for another bout. Following these injuries, KSI hinted that Paul would likely be unable to participate in his upcoming PRIME boxing event in January 2023 — but KSI’s manager says that Logan’s comeback might happen sooner, rather than later. KSI’s manager says Logan Paul’s next bout will take place in 2023 In an interview with Fred Talks Fighting, Mams Taylor claimed that Paul’s next boxing match could be on the undercard of KSI vs Jake Paul, which both parties agreed would take place next year. “He’s recovering so quickly, and I’m very happy about that, obviously,” Taylor said. “I think he’s going to fight… on the Jake Paul KSI fight.” “So, that long away?” the interviewer asked. “Who says it’s that long away?” Mams replied. “All I said is that it’s happening in 2023, and JJ will have three fights in 2023. So yes, He’s got Dillon Danis, then whoever it’s gonna be, and then at the end of the year, whoever it’s gonna be.” At the time of writing, it’s speculated that Jake Paul and KSI will likely face off in late 2023. KSI’s trainer previously claimed that his fight with the younger Paul brother won’t take place directly after his fight with Dillon Danis, which is slated for January 14, 2023. For now, it’s unclear when we’ll see Paul step in the boxing ring again… but if Taylor’s comments are to be believed, he might not touch gloves with another fighter until sometime next year.

KSI’s manager blasts “shady” Dillon Danis over Misfits Boxing weight dispute – Dexerto
KSI’s manager blasts “shady” Dillon Danis over Misfits Boxing weight dispute Misfits / IG: DillonDanisMams Taylor, KSI’s manager and co-founder of Misfits Boxing, has labeled Dillon Danis as “shady” after the former MMA fighter claimed the insertion of a clause late on was an effort by the Brit’s team to “handicap” him. Misfits Boxing is set to host its fourth night of bouts, event 004, in January 2023. Headlining the event will be KSI and Dillon Danis, with the British rapper set to face off against the former MMA star in a boxing match of epic proportions. Despite the fight rapidly approaching, it’s been thrown into doubt by Danis’ recent claims that KSI’s teams have tried to insert a controversial ‘rehydration clause’ into the mix late on. It inhibits Danis from gaining a certain amount of weight in fluids between the weigh-in and fight itself. Talking to Chael Sonnen, Danis said: “I feel like this fight won’t happen… They’re trying to make weird things in the contract now two weeks before. I feel like they’re looking for a way out.” Now, KSI’s manager Mams Taylor has responded, describing Danis’ tactics as “messed up”. Mams Taylor blasts “shady” Dillon Danis In a series of tweets, Mams Taylor stated that the specific clause was present in the agreement from the off, despite Danis’ claims it has been inserted late on. “1 – Danis signed a contract (binding short form) over 2 months ago,” he said. “2 – The contracted weight was 177.5 lbs with a rehydration clause limit of 185lbs. 3 – We tried 170 and he said that was too light so we settled on 177.5 Neither Dillon or his team objected to the rehydration clause until now.” Taylor added that “if Dillon had an issue” it should have been brought up previously. Had the issue been raised earlier, KSI may have looked for a different opponent. He finished: “To make out that we are being shady and throwing this in last minute is just messed up considering he has been treated with nothing but respect and courtesy.” As of the time of writing, the fight is set to go ahead on January 14. However, both men appear to be blaming the other for trying to avoid the fight, so that could change yet.
