KSI baffled as Sidemen 2023 charity match hit by copyright strike YouTube: SidemenKSI has been left baffled as the 2023 Sidemen Charity Match had been copyright-struck off YouTube following a claim from the Premier League. The Sidemen Charity Match has become a staple in the YouTube calendar over the last few years, as the British content collective takes on some of the biggest stars from the internet in a game of football. 2022’s installment had been pretty massive, breaking the record for the biggest YouTube stream, but the 2023 game took things to a new level. Over 2.6 million fans tuned in to watch the game – which the Sidemen won yet again – but 62,000 fans also descended on West Ham’s London Stadium to watch in person. Highlights of the game have been shared far and wide, with a number of players even uploading their footage after playing with GoPro’s and bodycams. However, the official replay of the game had been hit with a copyright strike. Sidemen Charity Match hit with fake copyright strike That’s right, for a moment on September 18, it was actually impossible to try and rewatch the Sidemen stream back as the video had been copyright-struck by the ‘FA Premier League.’ A number of Sidemen fans made it known that, for whatever reason, the video was inaccessible, prompting a response from KSI. “Lmao how is this even possible?!?!” the YouTube star tweeted. Some fans suggested that, given the game was played at West Ham’s stadium, there may be grounds to strike it on that basis. However, it does seem like a bogus strike given the claim is from ‘FA Premier League’. The FA – Football Association – and the Premier League are separate entities and have different outlets to claim videos from YouTube. The Premier League typically strikes things under their ‘Premier League Productions’ banner while the FA hits things just as the Football Association. The ‘FA Premier League’ just isn’t a thing in reality. Whoever claimed it didn’t hold too much sway either, seeing as the video was reinstated shortly after being taken down and is back up for many users.

KSI appears to tease street fighting for future YouTube bout – Dexerto
KSI appears to tease street fighting for future YouTube bout KSI, YouTubeYouTuber-turned-boxer KSI emerged victorious from his November 9 rematch with rival Logan Paul — but that’s not the end of his fights, with the internet star teasing even more dramatic bouts in the future. With Jake Paul scheduled to fight fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib on January 30, it seems internet boxing has taken the world by storm. However, it’s not the end-all be-all method of settling online grudges — at least, according to KSI, who feels things might escalate far more dramatically in the near future once YouTube boxing becomes the norm (if it ever does). In an interview with VICE’s Joe Zadeh, the YouTuber revealed his “competitive” spirit helped him get this far, begging the question: what comes next after the internet boxing fad is done? While KSI considered the possibility of sports other than fighting, what he considered to be the most “dramatic” way of settling beef was nothing inside of an arena or an octagon: instead, he figures YouTubers might start to settle things with simple, old-fashioned street fighting. “A street fight,” he answered when asked about the topic. “You get two YouTubers that hate each other, and they happen to be in the same place at the same time, and a brawl could happen. You never know.” Although there are ample clips of various street fights littering YouTube, a legitimate scrap between two massively popular YouTubers at any given time or place is almost guaranteed to go viral — especially seeing as how there’s no rules and no holds barred. Considering YouTube’s own policies, though, it might not survive the system as well as its boxing predecessor has, with the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch being what promoter Eddie Hearn dubbed the “most successful” PPV boxing match in 2019. Also bearing the success of their first match in mind, it seems boxing is a highly profitable avenue for YouTubers in the current climate, with Jake Paul himself dubbing the sport an “untapped vertical.” For now, fans must wait and see for the outcome of Jake Paul’s own fight against AnEsonGib, and whether or not it will hold a candle to his older brother’s infamous grudge match against one of Britain’s top YouTube stars.

KSI asks fans for help after police allegedly steal Deji’s dog – Dexerto
KSI asks fans for help after police allegedly steal Deji’s dog KSI, Deji – YouTube / Change.orgPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji is asking fans to sign a petition for the return of younger brother Deji’s dog, after the animal was allegedly stolen by police in September of 2018. According to statements made by Deji throughout his several YouTube videos on the subject, his German Shepard, Tank, was taken by police after his neighbor swatted the animal with a package left on their front stoop. Statements from Deji’s neighbors and local law enforcement collected by The Blast held that Tank had been detained under the “Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991,” due to two separate incidents that resulted in injury to “members of the public” – one of which was deemed “serious.” However, Deji claimed that Tank had merely nipped his neighbor, after which the dog was taken to a “police-approved kennel.” Deji claimed that Tank was being trained as a K-9 unit, which authorities denied. Thus far, it appears that Tank remains in police custody, until a charging decision can be made regarding the incident. My bro has a dog that has been STOLEN. And the police refuse to give him back. Please sign this 🙁https://t.co/BdUOduNQDX — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) January 20, 2019 While Deji created a petition for Tank’s retrieval in mid-September 2018, the dog has yet to be returned to the YouTuber – prompting his older brother, KSI, to step in and speak out on the matter. KSI posted a Tweet imploring his fans to sign the appeal on January 20, claiming that Tank had been stolen by law enforcement. As of January 20, the petition has over 410,000 of the necessary 500,000 signatures needed – a huge jump compared to the document’s previous 300,000 signatures following Deji’s initial videos covering the debacle. KSI’s latest Tweet follows the end of a vicious, month long spat between the two brothers, which ended after Deji deleted a diss track towards KSI in early January.

KSI appeal to overturn Tommy Fury fight result rejected – Dexerto
KSI appeal to overturn Tommy Fury fight result rejected DAZN / WassermanKSI has lost part of his appeal to have the result of his fight with Tommy Fury overturned as fans are still convinced he won the fight. When Tommy Fury managed to snap Jake Paul’s unbeaten boxing run, it seemed pretty nailed on that the pair would have a rematch to try and set up a trilogy. However, the Brit instead moved on to KSI. KSI was convinced he could do what Jake had failed to do and defeat Tommy. However, the outcome ended up being the same. The reality TV star and boxer walked away with a decision victory on October 14, much to the annoyance of KSI, his fans, and many neutral observers. Some were convinced that the YouTuber had won the fight, pointing to at least three rounds where he was more active in throwing punches and controlling the ring. So, naturally, KSI and his team appealed the result. KSI appeal over Tommy Fury fight rejected However, it looks as if the appeal process isn’t going to go the way KSI and his fans had hoped, with at least one part of it being rejected. On December 1, the PBA – Professional Boxing Association – announced that an independent panel had ruled there were “no grounds to overturn” the result. “The PBA confirms that an independent review panel, consisting of two of the country’s leading King’s Counsel and a third lawyer, has determined that there are no grounds to overturn the KSI vs Tommy Fury fight result from October 14, 2023,” they tweeted. Some fans had an inkling this ruling was coming given that KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, had posted about their appeal being moved on to another stage on November 30. Upon the PBA’s announcement, Taylor added that “their tweet is not painting the entire picture at all.” So, it appears things may rumble on for a little while.

KSI appears to leak Logan Paul’s next boxing opponent – Dexerto
KSI appears to leak Logan Paul’s next boxing opponent YouTube: Logan PaulKSI may have teased Logan Paul’s next boxing opponent in a recent social media post announcing Misfits x DAZN Series 006. Logan Paul may have helped launch the current influencer boxing craze, but it’s safe to say that his career in the sport isn’t as prolific as his little brother’s. Thus far, Logan has only stepped in the ring three times, twice with rival-turned-business partner KSI and once against Floyd Mayweather in a viral 2021 exhibition match. It seems like Logan is more focused on his current contract with the WWE, having appeared in multiple performances with the organization since signing a multi-year contract with them in 2022. Is Logan Paul fighting JMX or Le’veon Bell? However, we could see Logan make his return to the boxing ring sooner rather than later, if a recent post from KSI is to be believed. On March 3, KSI posted a video to his Instagram stories with the caption: “Winner between JMX and Le’veon Bell fights Logan Paul?” This refers to the upcoming Misfits x DAZN Series 006 boxing event, which is set to take place on April 21 and features a headliner bout between JMX and Le’veon Bell. This isn’t the first time Logan’s name has been thrown in the hat with JMX, either; a leaked fight poster pitted the two against each other for Misfits x DAZN Series 008, although this matchup was never officially confirmed. Logan has yet to respond to these rumors as well, leaving the entire situation up in the air — but JMX might not be the only opponent Logan could be facing off with in the near future. Most recently, Paul expressed a desire to take on Tommy Fury to avenge his little brother after his loss to the British boxer in late February. At the time of writing, it looks like Jake vs Tommy will take place over the summer, with Jake saying he wants the runback before taking any other fights.

KSI apologizes for using “transgender slurs” after backlash – Dexerto
KSI apologizes for using “transgender slurs” after backlash Instagram: KSI, TwitterPopular YouTuber JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji has hit back at claims of him being transphobic in YouTube videos and on streams. British YouTuber KSI is no stranger to drama, getting involved in heated beefs with different YouTubers and even his brother in the past. After being criticized alongside Minecraft star Fundy for a series of inappropriate jokes on a recent Jackbox stream, the situation has spiralled even further. The use of transphobic slurs both during this stream and throughout his YouTube career has led to mass Twitter backlash and claims that KSI is transphobic. KSI hits back at transphobia allegations In a series of tweets on March 9, the YouTuber star hit back at commenters calling him out for being transphobic. Writing “hold up, people actually think I’m transphobic?” the tweet has blown up in the little time that it’s existed. This was followed up by a now-deleted tweet where the YouTuber used another slur. His apology, however, was under came attack from some believing it to being insincere. It was promptly replaced by a less inflammatory version which reads: “My bad for saying transgender slurs. Honestly didn’t know they were slurs. I know now though.” My bad for saying transgender slurs. Honestly didn’t even know they were slurs. I know now though — ksi (@KSI) March 9, 2021 Twitter reacts As soon as the second tweet was removed, Twitter users jumped in to remind KSI of the original version of his apology tweet. One user responded with a screenshot of the Tweet, and asked “why you delete this, huh?” A second respondent replied stating that “someone told you it was a slur and then you proceeded to say it?” ok but someone told you it was a slur and then you proceeded to say it ??? pic.twitter.com/ziQ7b3DxWm — cole ☆ (@bootwtt) March 9, 2021 Another writer chose to approach the situation by offering KSI constructive criticism, providing examples of way to show that he’s actually interested in learning and embracing trans culture. hi! im not trans, so i cant accept your apology – but if you want to prove to your community that youre learning, here are some things you can do; – share information surrounding trans topics (for example, uktransrights) – support lgbt charities; donate+ — kat ?? misses jack (ifb) (@QUACKHALL) March 9, 2021 The YouTuber hasn’t commented on the situation further, and it remains to be seen if his apology will be accepted by his critics.

KSI apologizes to Wade Plem over “big misunderstanding” – Dexerto
KSI apologizes to Wade Plem over “big misunderstanding” YouTube: WIRED, The W.A.D.E. ConceptYouTube-boxer KSI has offered a public apology to Wade Plem after publicly flaming the former Misfits host for comments he made about Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury 2. Earlier this week, British influencer KSI lashed out at combat sports YouTuber Wade Plem in a public Twitter spat that went viral. The issue began after Plem theorized that KSI’s highly-anticipated fight with Jake Paul likely wouldn’t happen — and even claimed Paul vs Fury 2 would sell more PPVs than KSI’s long-awaited grudge match. This prompted KSI to hit out at Plem in a string of now-deleted tweets, calling the commentator “two-faced” and “fake.” The resulting aftermath saw KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, dismiss Plem from hosting Misfits Boxing events. Since then, Plem has signed on to work with the PFL. KSI later issued a public apology to Plem, saying his Tweets were “way out of character” — but then discussed the situation at length on an episode of the Side+ podcast, where he claimed he’s “not comfortable” speaking with Plem any longer. “One minute you’re saying you like it to me in private, then publicly you’re saying what the public wants to hear,” KSI said. “With Wade, he just wants to constantly be on everyone’s good side. That’s gonna rub me the wrong way.” Plem also uploaded a video responding to the entire situation, where he said KSI and Mams Taylor’s apologies “rang hollow” and that the two weren’t “even trying to hide the fact that they’re lying.” That’s not all; according to the Big Stream Alerts account, KSI unfollowed Plem on Twitter, appearing to wash his hands of his former coworker. KSI officially apologizes to Wade Plem over Twitter feud However, it seems as though the two creators have finally settled their beef, as KSI posted another public apology to Twitter that put the entire ordeal to rest. “Talked to Wade, and this time I’m actually sorry,” he wrote. “Legit this whole thing has just been a big misunderstanding. We both want the same thing, success for everyone in the influencer boxing scene. Wade is a good guy. I messed up completely, my bad man.” Wade also offered a reply to the situation, saying in a response to KSI’s post: “JJ you’re a real one for the call man, genuinely… I appreciate you reaching out. And you’re right, this scene deserves us ALL working toward its success.” For now, it looks like this viral internet feud has been put to bed — but KSI’s beef with Jake Paul is hotter than ever, with the two hashing out terms for a fight contract on Twitter just yesterday.

KSI apologizes for racial slur in Sidemen video & announces social media break – Dexerto
KSI apologizes for racial slur in Sidemen video & announces social media break YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI has apologized after using a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video, with the content creator also confirming he will be taking a break from social media as a result of the recent incident. In a recent Sidemen video, KSI faced major backlash after the content creator said a racial slur during the video. After the incident, fans of KSI and Sidemen took to social media to express their disgust at the moment, calling KSI out and compelling him to apologize for the moment. Umir, who is a football writer and content creator for the likes of GQ Magazine, posted about their dissatisfaction and disappointment at KSI and the Sidemen team for the incident. “Been a KSI fan for the longest but so weird for him to say ‘p*ki’ in the latest Sidemen vid even if they bleeped it & it was ‘in jest’ for content. Other racial slurs wouldn’t be used as punchlines for YouTube gameshows. Just makes light of the word + certain people’s experience.” Umir goes on to add the “fact the Sidemen team didn’t edit it out suggests they were fine with it in which is so mad to me. They didn’t think the use of the word for cheap laughs was an issue…That minimises the topic’s significance. Racial abuse toward Asians is taken less seriously, more of the time.” In light of this backlash, KSI has posted an apology on Twitter, with the content creator then revealing his plans to take a step away from social media for a while. KSI apologizes for racial slur and announces social media break “I wanna apologise for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry…I’ve always said to my audience that they shouldn’t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I’m human. Im not perfect, I’m gonna mess up in life, and lately I’ve been messing up a lot.” KSI then added, “so I’ve decided I’m gonna just take a break from social media for a while.” He has not confirmed how long this break from social media will be and what platforms he will be stepping away from. However, we’ll be sure to keep you updated on the situation and if he reveals when he plans on coming back to Twitter.

KSI apologizes after fans disappointed by “overhyped” KSI Show – Dexerto
KSI apologizes after fans disappointed by “overhyped” KSI Show YouTube: KSIBritish YouTuber, platinum recording artist, and boxing extraordinaire Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji promised to “break the internet” with The KSI Show on July 17 — but had a rude awakening when his fans expressed their huge disappointment at the show. While there were no real suggestions over what the show would include, there were a number of KSI’s top collaborators across music, TV and social media present, and fans had high hopes. Throughout the show and after it, though, many fans expressed their disappointment online at what they dubbed ‘The KSI concert’, complaining about the number of musical performances. When KSI decided to make a reaction video, looking through the Reddit posts about the show, he clearly had high hopes — but he finished it feeling seriously deflated. Admitting that he opened Reddit “gassed” to see the response to the show, KSI quickly fell back down to Earth at the sheer amount of disappointed posts. With post after post from fans feeling like they’ve been conned, KSI didn’t hide his emotions, and spoke throughout the video on how upset he was by the response. He frequently mentioned that he “took an L” on the show and apologizes to paying fans who feel “conned.” “I don’t really know what else to say,” he explained at the end of the video. “Yeah, I’m sorry I p**sed so many people off. This was depressing… Maybe I could have done better with the whole script part. I don’t know.” The show itself featured a combination of musical performances alongside skits co-written by the American Dad writers, and was used as a celebration of KSI’s recently-released studio album All Over the Place. Of course, it wasn’t all bad. Many fans enjoyed the show, and that’s evident in the YouTube comments, but KSI clearly took a swing and missed in the eyes of some of his fans.

KSI announces official date for Logan Paul rematch – Dexerto
KSI announces official date for Logan Paul rematch KSI, YouTube / The IndependentPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has finally cleared the air concerning his boxing rematch with rival Logan Paul, setting a projected date for their bout far off from initial speculation. KSI addressed the rematch in a video on January 2, where he denied Logan Paul’s claims that he had broken the terms of their contract. In fact, KSI stated that Paul’s team was responsible for the lack of a confirmed venue for the bout, alleging that they haven’t yet chosen a state for the rematch, either. “Since the fight, Logan has been chatting a lot of shit,” KSI said. “I mean, I didn’t expect anything less, to be honest.” KSI went on to state that confirming legalities for streaming rights and settling distribution options would take around four months to complete, as well as securing a venue during the projected date for the match – which KSI set for November 2019. While UK gambling site Bet365 has already started taking bets for the bout with a date set for February 27, KSI has clearly decried these rumors, scheduling their rematch over a year away from their initial fight on August 25, 2018. https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/potential-date-for-ksi-vs-logan-paul-rematch-sees-surprising-development-270639 KSI went on to take issue with Paul wanting their fight to take place on the West Coast, citing the disparity in time zones between the UK and the Westernmost US as a possibility for a major drop in viewership from his British audience. The YouTuber also mentioned that he would take the majority of 2019 to improve his relationship with his family, likely citing his current feud with his little brother, Deji.

KSI announces return to his YouTube roots in 2019 – Dexerto
KSI announces return to his YouTube roots in 2019 While Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has been deep in the thick of a heated feud with his brother Deji Olatunji for the last month, it looks like he’s trying to move on and get back to his old ways on YouTube. KSI’s YouTube channel might be primarily focused around music and other comedic content of late, but he started out making videos on the popular FIFA franchise back in 2009. After almost 10 years since his first upload, KSI has announced his return to the game that started it all for him. Just in time for the new year, KSI uploaded a video on December 31 in which he gets an unexpected visit from the fictional “Owner of EA Sports.” When asked why he’s there, the Owner says that it’s because FIFA needs KSI to return. “The FIFA community have shown their frustrations over the past few months,” the Owner says in the hopes of persuading KSI to the cause. Featuring many clips from upset streamers, the video highlights many of the main problems that people have had with the game recently. According to the Owner, KSI is the “spark” the FIFA community needs to get back to greatness. KEEMSTAR brutally roasts Deji’s single, ‘No L’s’The release of the video wasn’t without some hiccups as it was soon deleted soon after he originally uploaded it, with KSI joking that EA didn’t want him posting it. No date for the first video was given, but fans of KSI will nonetheless be happy to hear that FIFA content will once again grace KSI’s channel.

KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime Energy original flavor finally revealed – Dexerto
KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime Energy original flavor finally revealed PrimeLogan Paul and KSI have released the Original Prime Energy Drink and if you’re wondering what flavor it really is, we’ve got your back. Former rivals Logan Paul and KSI have been quenching people’s thirst since first coming together in 2022 to release their own hydration beverage, Prime. With products flying off the shelves and new flavors popping up over time, the YouTubers released a new line of caffeinated drinks in early 2023 with Prime Energy. Now, the lineup of flavors available has officially expanded, Paul and KSI unveiling a new “Original” drink as the latest addition to their energy beverages… and a tweet from GNC has just revealed what a Prime Energy Original actually tastes like. Since the new flavor’s release, many have been confused as to what exactly an “original” flavor is. Creative theories as to what the latest addition to Prime Energy encompasses have already popped up across social media, with one user writing, “I’m confused, is the original Prime Energy basically going to be a meta-moon energy?” Luckily, GNC has the answers and it’s not meta-moon energy (sorry). Taking to Twitter to share the new energy flavor, GNC wrote, “NEW DROP! [Prime Hydrate’s] newest energy flavor, ORIGINAL is HERE!” They then offered some insight into what buyers could expect to taste; “This totally original flavor combines a hint of lime and punch of pink grapefruit.” However, it doesn’t look like everyone is a fan of the flavor combo; “Meh your drink tastes like s**t.” Another person claimed, “Your product is very unhealthy [and] overall garbage.” Despite some negative feedback, it doesn’t look like Prime will slow in sales anytime soon.

KSI announces he wants to fight Jake Paul after his upcoming rematch – Dexerto
KSI announces he wants to fight Jake Paul after his upcoming rematch Hollywood Life / Jake Paul, InstagramPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji revealed who he hopes to fight next, following his boxing rematch with controversial social media star Logan Paul in November 2019. KSI made the reveal during a YouTube video uploaded on January 15, where he allowed his fans to call him via the popular voice and texting app, ‘Discord.’ Among the hilarious comments and invasive questions came a query from a fan asking who KSI hoped to fight after his rematch with Paul. “If you beat Logan Paul, who is your next opponent going to be?” the fan asked. “Jake Paul,” KSI answered decisively, moving right along to the next caller. It looks like KSI is set on throwing down with both Paul brothers, which comes as no surprise to fans; both Logan and Jake Paul mocked the feud between KSI and his younger brother, Deji, during which Logan invited Deji onto his podcast to speak out about the ordeal. https://gossipier.com/when-is-ksi-vs-logan-paul-rematch-youtube-boxers-to-meet-again-after-first-fight-in-manchester/While Jake Paul denied Deji a rematch, he hasn’t spoken out on KSI’s latest challenge. In fact, Paul is in a fair amount of hot water, after his lawyers withdrew from defending him against a lawsuit filed in 2018 due to a controversial prank video (not including YouTube’s recent change in policy regarding dangerous pranks, which kicked into action following Paul’s ‘Bird Box’ challenge video). The KSI vs Logan Paul rematch is scheduled for November 2019, and will take place on American soil (although an exact date and venue have yet to be determined).

Logan Paul and KSI have created a phenomenon around their drink line Prime which launched in 2022. The drink is so popular in some places that it was sold out for days upon its initial launch and even caused a malfunction with some store’s self-checkout machines. Much like with the social media stars themselves, Prime has come under fire from fitness industry influencers who have criticized the drink’s ingredients and claims of hydration. Prime’s most recent venture into the public consciousness is more positive, as KSI and Paul have announced a contest in which fans can win half a million dollars. The contest celebrates the drink line’s rapidly approaching the sale of its billionth bottle.

KSI and Logan Paul secure Arsenal sponsorship for Prime – Dexerto
KSI and Logan Paul secure Arsenal sponsorship for Prime Arsenal MediaKSI and Logan Paul have revealed that legendary football club Arsenal has become official sponsors of their hydration drink Prime. Prime Hydration has quickly become one of the most popular sports drinks on the market. The collaborative project between social media giants Logan Paul and KSI launched back on January 4 and has been a massive hit so far, even expanding into the UK with a brand new flavor Ice Pop. Now, the brand has scored a sponsorship with one of the most popular European football clubs.

From watching Arsenal tear up the Premier League in the early 2000s to now being associated with Arsenal officially with PRIME, it’s a dream come true and I’m still pinching myself! This is a huge moment and I’m so glad it’s with the team I support.” Juliet Slot, Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer, said of the partnership: “We are always looking to join forces with new, exciting, and forward-thinking brands. PRIME falls comfortably into that category, with a product and founders at the forefront of modern culture. KSI is a lifelong Arsenal supporter and it’s fantastic we can keep this in the family.” The former boxing opponents turned collaborators KSI and Logan Paul have continued to grow Prime into a massive global brand.

KSI and Logan Paul Exchange Threats on Twitter in Build Up To Boxing Match – Dexerto
KSI and Logan Paul Exchange Threats on Twitter in Build Up To Boxing Match There is just over a week to go before YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul attempt to knock each other out in front of millions in the Manchester Arena, and the two are battling a war of words in the build up. Since the last press conference, held in London and resulting in Logan Paul walking off stage after barely saying a word, the two have been hard at work in training, preparing for August 25. After the press conference, their ‘face-to-face’ video was released, as the pair sat down to discuss their differences, mediated by world champion boxer Johnny Nelson. And of course, being the YouTubers they are, there has been plenty of videos building up the fight and taking digs at one another. On August 16, Logan took to Twitter to outline his plan for when he steps in the ring. KSI’s Boxing Coach Viddal Explains Why Deji Stopped Training With Him Back in their face-to-face meeting, Logan predicted he would knock KSI out in the third round, so it looks like he is growing in confidence, since it is now three punches rather than three rounds. KSI, never one to back down from a Twitter argument, fired back quickly, suggesting Logan is scared and that his boastfulness on social media is a cover up. The Brit doesn’t give a prediction for when he will take Logan down, but neither of them seem to be lacking in confidence, at least when it comes to Twitter. Logan is certainly physically more imposing than Weller too, and stands taller than KSI, with a reach advantage to boot. But the Twitter fingers will soon be clenched into fists and put to work on August 25, when fans will finally see the beef settled one way or another.

KSI and Logan Paul Exchange Threats via Text Message Ahead of Boxing Match – Dexerto
KSI and Logan Paul Exchange Threats via Text Message Ahead of Boxing Match Despite both fighters saying the time for words is over, KSI and Logan Paul are still taking digs at each other – even in private, as Logan sends KSI a threatening text message. The two YouTube stars will go head to head in the ring on August 25, live in front of thousands in the Manchester Arena and millions watching the stream online, in a contest for ultimate bragging rights. KSI called both Logan and his brother Jake out after defeating another YouTuber, Joe Weller, in the ring last year. Since then, the two have built up a lot of animosity towards one another. Constant insults have gone back and forth, all filmed or well documented on social media, plus diss tracks directed at their opponent, but even in private, Logan is trying to intimidate KSI. Sending a text message telling KSI how much more he trains, and how much more prepared he is, Logan is clearly trying to win the mental game before a punch is thrown. “You spar 2x a week. We spar 5x a week. You train 4 days a week. We train 6 days a week. Twice a day. You’re about to find out why I’m the better boxer, athlete, and man.” KSI simply responded by once again bringing up Logan’s partner Chloe Bennet – whom he wore a face mask of while doing his weigh in on August 24, and a topic which has previously riled up Logan. The boxing match will be broadcast live on YouTube as a pay-per-view event, on the official KSI vs Logan Paul channel. It will cost you £7.50 ($10) to get access, but also includes all eight undercard bouts – one of which is the fight between KSI’s younger brother Deji and Logan’s brother Jake. The main fight is expected to begin between 8 and 9pm BST (3pm EST, 12pm PST). The first fight is at 5:30pm BST (12:30pm EST, 9:30am PST).

KSI and Logan Paul Come Face to Face at E3 Party Ahead of Highly Anticipated YouTube Boxing Match The build-up to the KSI and Logan Paul charity boxing match heated up at an E3 afterparty as the two came face to face for only the second time. Taking place on August 25th in Manchester, the pair of popular YouTubers will put their pride on the line in front of thousands of fans in the arena, with millions expected to watch online. KSI started the YouTube boxing craze when he fought his old friend, Joe Weller, in front of 8,000 fans in February. KSI won with a convincing stoppage in the third round when the referee stopped the fight. During the post-fight interview, Logan and Jake Paul were called out by KSI, as he invited them to try and take his new YouTube boxing belt. After months of debate about whether it would happen, Logan and KSI announced that on August 25th in London, the two would do battle. With a combined subscriber count of over 36 million people, it is expected to be the biggest live streaming event in YouTube history. Since the fight was confirmed there has been relatively little confrontation between the two, only meeting once in the gym of Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas. That all changed in the early hours of Thursday June 14th. KSI and Logan came face to face during an after party at E3 in California, and the encounter was filmed by a number of different people also in attendance. The pair appeared to be talking smack to one another, with Logan Paul heard saying KSI’s head looks like the size of a watermelon, claiming he can’t miss. In return, KSI promised that he’d be looking down on him after the fight, but the American claimed that each time he sees the British YouTuber, he gets less and less scared. Eventually, the two are broken up when Drama Alert’s Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem gets involved. KSI and Logan Paul just got into it at our after party :eyes: pic.twitter.com/e8V425ePEP — OVERT @ E3 (@overtflow) June 14, 2018

KSI and Logan Paul Don’t Hold Back in Face-to-Face Ahead of YouTube Boxing Match, Refuse To Shake Hands in Tense Meeting – Dexerto
KSI and Logan Paul Don’t Hold Back in Face-to-Face Ahead of YouTube Boxing Match, Refuse To Shake Hands in Tense Meeting With the YouTube boxing match between KSI and Logan Paul fast approaching on August 25, both fighters have met face-to-face to discuss their beef, with Johnny Nelson acting referee. It is the second face-to-face meeting in build up to the fight, with their siblings, Jake Paul and Deji having already published their confrontational discussion, also with World Champion boxer Johnny Nelson. But the main event will be KSI vs Logan, and the meeting took place after the heated press conference, which saw Logan storm off the stage as KSI levelled insults against him, his girlfriend and his family. Similar to Jake and Deji, not much is known about the supposed ‘beef’ between these two immensely popular YouTubers, and so Nelson attempted to guide the conversation to reveal why the two are opposed. More: PewDiePie Mocks Logan Paul “Lies” in Casey Neistat Interview, Addresses Demi Lovato Controversy – KSI was mainly critical about Logan’s YouTube content, particularly his past controversies which have made him a ‘hated’ person online. He was also boastful about his dominant win over Joe Weller in the first YouTube boxing event, but Logan Paul was quick to remind him that he’s a different beast altogether. “I’m just an athlete. [Joe Weller] is not an athlete, that’s not how athletes perform. No offence to Joe Weller, I’m just not Joe Weller. I’m a different beast. I’m a corn-fed Ohio boy.” KSI remained unfazed however, confident he will knock Logan Paul out when the big day comes along. “Oh yeh, I’m going to knock him out. 100%. He’s getting knocked out, and it’s not going to be pretty. And you’re going to be worried. You’re going to get in the fight and realize, ‘oh, this is a fight, this is happening. Can I handle this guy? No I can’t.’” When the pair came to end the interview, KSI extended a hand to Logan, who turned his nose up to it, citing the comments towards his girlfriend and family which he felt went too far. You can watch the full face-to-face meeting between KSI and Logan below.

KSI and Jake Paul blast “embarrassing” Tommy Fury as Paul Bamba fight called off – Dexerto
KSI and Jake Paul blast “embarrassing” Tommy Fury as Paul Bamba fight called off IG: KSI / JakePaul / TommyFuryKSI has labelled Tommy Fury as “embarrassing”, while Jake Paul described him as ‘unprofessional’ after the British boxer weighed in 7lbs over for his fight against Paul Bamba, which was cancelled as a result. Despite being scheduled twice, Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury is looking increasingly likely to be a fight that we will never see. First chalked due to a medical issue, then because of problems getting a visa to visit the USA, Tommy Fury has pulled out of back-to-back fights against Jake Paul. While the American now looks set to face off against Andrew Tate, Fury is having more difficulty getting back in the ring, this time reportedly because of weight issues. Jake Paul and KSI slam Tommy Fury after Paul Bamba fight cancellation On November 12, reports surfaced that Fury’s bout against Paul Bamba was set to called off after the Brit weighed in 7lbs over the agreed fight limit. The fight was set to happen on the Deji vs Floyd Mayweather undercard, but will now not go ahead. Responding to the news was both KSI and Jake Paul. The latter suggested Fury is unprofessional, saying: “Tommy Fury…you’re getting paid a lot of money to be a professional. But time & time again you show that you’re not. Missed a fight because of “broken ribs”, missed a fight because you “missed a flight” and now you miss weight by 7 pounds! I feel sorry for Frank & George Warren & the Fury name.” Tommy is the half-brother of World Heavyweight Champion and all-time great Tyson Fury, with Paul insinuating that he is letting down the family name. KSI was similarly scathing of Tommy, although he expressed it in far fewer words. A one-word tweet simply described Tommy as “embarrassing” for missing his weight limit. When the fight was officially called off on November 13, KSI said: “Tommy Fury is an absolute joke.” It remains to be seen whether Fury will ever make a bout with either Jake Paul or KSI, but both appear less than impressed with his latest conduct in the influencer boxer space. Fury himself has not publicly responded to the reports.

KSI and Logan Paul are taking measures to prevent stream piracy for rematch – Dexerto
KSI and Logan Paul are taking measures to prevent stream piracy for rematch KSI, Logan Paul – YouTube / TwitchPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Logan Paul could be set to crack down on stream piracy for their next fight, after their initial bout saw mass viewership through unofficial channels. KSI addressed the issue in a video on January 2, where he mentioned that organizers for the rematch are working on legalities in terms of streaming, among other such improvements. “We’re working on protection and the legal side of things when it comes to streaming,” KSI stated, likely referencing their past fight’s widespread internet piracy back in August of 2018. According to metrics cited by esports consultant Rod Breslau, the KSI vs Logan Paul fight garnered over 1.2 million viewers on Twitch – even though their fight was only legally available to watch via a pay-per-view stream on YouTube for a $10 fee, at the time. Overall, the match received over two million concurrent viewers across both Twitch and YouTube (on par with The International 2018, which peaked at 687,000 eyes during Grand Finals for its English Twitch stream.) There is now over 2 million concurrent viewers for the KSI Logan Paul fight. 800,000 on the official YouTube stream that cost $10 to watch, and 1.2 million watching for free on Twitch. #KSIvLogan pic.twitter.com/ZZ0FYHLzOn — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) August 25, 2018 Now, it appears that organizers are taking steps to prevent such a debacle from happening again – although YouTube has stated that the widespread Twitch piracy wasn’t an issue they were ultimately responsible for. KSI also gave an official date for his rematch with Paul, citing November 2019 as an appropriate time to throw down due to the time needed to organize such a venture. While Paul previously claimed that KSI was responsible for dragging his feet in scheduling a date, KSI alleged that Paul’s team has yet to choose a venue – or even pick a state for the fight, as well.

KSI and Deji reunite to settle their beef after YouTube Vs TikTok boxing event – Dexerto
KSI and Deji reunite to settle their beef after YouTube Vs TikTok boxing event YouTube: DejiKSI and Deji have made a reunion video following the YouTube Vs TikTok boxing event and the brothers have finally settled their long-standing beef. Ever since their feud back in 2019, KSI and Deji have been on uncertain terms with fans encouraging the pair to settle their beef privately. Although the brothers have managed to put their differences aside over the last year, it never felt like they’d managed to talk it all over and resolve the long-standing issues between them. Their relationship only looked like it was going to get worse after KSI uploaded a video criticizing Deji’s work ethic after the YouTube Vs TikTok boxing event. However, to the surprise of fans, it was exactly what the pair needed to reunite and settle their beef altogether. Deji and KSI settle beef in reunion video On June 20, Deji surprised his fans with a video titled ‘Reunion With My Brother’, where he sat down with KSI and discussed the issues affecting their relationship over the last few years. The pair also spoke about Deji’s loss and what he needs to improve on if he ever wants to get back in the ring and box again. They both made it very clear that the issues between them had been resolved and Deji even admitted that he was in the wrong for their falling out in the first place. “There was beef, I do admit I was in the wrong for a lot of it, I shouldn’t of, I guess I was thinking irrationally for a lot of it.” Despite the fact that they spoke about a lot of serious topics, the pair couldn’t help but have a laugh with each other. KSI made numerous jokes at Deji’s expense, especially about his fitness heading into the fight. “Yeah obviously you’re a little bit hunched over, but nah Dej you were out of shape, you had man t*ts… it was bad.” Now, KSI and Deji have finally squashed the beef between them, it’ll be interesting to see if they decide to make any other videos together. Long-time fans of there’s will remember when they used to collaborate all the time. Fingers crossed it isn’t long before we see them on camera together again, we could even see a video on KSI’s channel which would certainly get the fans excited.

KSI and Deji to ‘squash beef’ and apologize following public dispute – Dexerto
KSI and Deji to ‘squash beef’ and apologize following public dispute YouTuber brothers ‘KSI’ and ‘Deji’ were caught up in a heated dispute on December 25, with the former kicked out of the family home on Christmas day, but it looks like they will resolve their differences. After months of back and forth shots, beginning after Deji allegedly revealed a pregnancy secret which KSI wanted kept out of public knowledge, and Deji later released a diss track aimed at his sibling on December 6. On Christmas eve, KSI posted to his Twitter followers, stating that he had been kicked out of the house and that Deji would call the police if he returned. Kicked out the house. Bro says he owns the house. Said he’ll call the police if I stay. My parents just look by and allow it lol. This shit is fucked man. After all the years of helping this boy. Just sad. Whatever. You do you fam — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018 A vicious 24 hours followed as the pair threw shots at each other over social media and YouTube, as KSI accused Deji of using the situation “for views” and “clout”. Deji responded by claiming that he was only “trying to defend” himself and “stand up to bullies”, rather than doing it for the ‘clout’. LOOK HOW MANY VIDEOS YOU’VE MADE ABOUT ME!!! YOURE MAKING IT SO OBVIOUS THAT YOURE DOING THIS FOR VIEWS, FOR CLOUT, JUST LEAVE IT FOR FUCK SAKE. WHY CANT YOU JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!! @Deji — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018 It’s sad, me trying to defend myself is me trying to get fame, money and clout etc. Stand up to your bullies, don’t let anyone talk down on you and make you think you’re doing the wrong thing — Deji (@Deji) December 25, 2018 KSI’s final word on the situation was to say that he will be giving it no further attention, and that he doesn’t plan on making any videos about it. I’m done with all of this. I won’t be making ANY videos about this. I won’t be tweeting anymore about it too. I’m done. Well done @Deji You’ve got all you wanted. The clout, the fame, our parents and the money from all of this drama. I hope it was all worth it. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018 A few hours later, Deji responded with a final Tweet of his own. He said that the spat should have been kept private, and apologized for ruining young fans Christmas day. He also states that he and his brother will squash their beef, although it’s unclear if KSI has agreed to attempt to resolve matters. I wanna apologise to my young fans about the beef with my bro. It should have been private. Me and my bro will eventually squash this beef. I didn’t realise I was ruining my young fans Christmas. I’m off social media — Deji (@Deji) December 25, 2018 Both YouTubers seemed to have a friendly relationship, at least publicly, for most of their time as internet stars. Earlier in 2018, they teamed up to take on another of YouTube’s best known brothers – Logan and Jake Paul – in a night of boxing. Deji lost to Jake, while KSI and Logan split the judges decision, and are set to rematch in 2019. Whether Deji will be in the crowd cheering on his brother remains to be seen.

KSI and Adin Ross clash ahead of face-to-face with Tommy Fury YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Frank Warren’s QueensburyAdin Ross and KSI clashed on social media ahead of the YouTuber’s virtual face-to-face with Tommy Fury on September 16. Adin Ross is set to host a face-to-face between the two Prime Card fighters on his stream, but that didn’t stop KSI from calling him out on Twitter just before the meet. The Prime Card is set to be one of the biggest influencer boxing matches in history, with both KSI and Logan Paul taking on Tommy Fury and Dillon Danis respectively. KSI calls out Adin Ross for Andrew Tate support However, KSI called out Adin on Twitter and branded him as a d*ckrider, a day before the face-to-face is due to happen. KSI, in a quote tweet from the announcement, said: “Finally get to talk to the Andrew Tate/Jake Paul d*ckrider today. This is gonna be a lot of fun…” Adin Ross quickly fired back: “Jake Paul owns you little bro. See you tomorrow”. Adin Ross and Jake Paul have been making lots of content together recently, with the top YouTuber appearing in several of Adin’s Kick streams. Recently, the streamer put himself in a fake jail along with Sneako and several other content creators after the Tate brothers told him that he wouldn’t last a day in prison. For more news and updates on KSI’s upcoming fight with Tommy Fury, check out our in-depth guide to the Prime Card, which will also see Logan Paul face off against Dillon Danis.

KSI and Deji get into heated argument on Twitter after feud takes a shocking turn – UPDATE – Dexerto
KSI and Deji get into heated argument on Twitter after feud takes a shocking turn – UPDATE After weeks of feuding between YouTube stars and siblings ‘KSI’ and Deji, things look to have taken a surprising turn on based on a Tweet posted by KSI on December 24. The drama between the brothers first got started back on November 30 when KSI got upset with Deji for talking about KSI’s pregancny scandal in a YouTube video. While things seemed to have reached a breaking point with Deji’s diss track released on December 6, that seems to pale in comparison to the latest development. KSI posted a Tweet on December 24 that revealed the surprising turn of the feud, saying that he has been kicked out of the house by Deji who is allegedly threatening to call the police if KSI stays. Kicked out the house. Bro says he owns the house. Said he’ll call the police if I stay. My parents just look by and allow it lol. This shit is fucked man. After all the years of helping this boy. Just sad. Whatever. You do you fam — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018 KSI has previously alluded to more problems having cropped up, tweeting “It’s always my fault. Cba anymore” and “[Shitiest] Christmas ever” less than an hour before the above Tweet was posted. KSI looks to have changed his tune from previous mentions of his brother over the last couple of weeks where he was pleading for the two to talk things over before things got even worse between them. In the minutes following KSI’s initial Tweet, Deji seemingly confirmed KSI’s allegations of being kicked out, saying: “You always play the victim card and just manipulate your fans to hate me. You’re nothing by a bully, who thinks he’s always right.” You always play the victim card and just manipulate your fans to hate me. You’re nothing but a bully, who thinks he’s always right. Merry Christmas https://t.co/GRxJ8OXSUl — Deji (@Deji) December 25, 2018 This Tweet ignited a firestorm in which both of them went back and forth for almost two hours before things had seemingly settled down without much of a resolution. Despite it looking to have ended for now, KSI kept the fire going by releasing a recording of the moment Deji told him to leave the house. How you gonna lie about this? @Deji pic.twitter.com/aj4W2soxdP — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018 As expected, Deji fired back with a recording of his own in which he’s heard yelling “Why are you attacking my mum?!” just as the recording cuts off. You’re not releasing the full story @KSIOlajidebt pic.twitter.com/oxRTUAshL4 — Deji (@Deji) December 25, 2018 KSI, however, didn’t seem fazed at all, implying that the recording was insinuating something that didn’t actually happen at all. You can’t be serious…Go ask mum if I attacked her. She’s in YOUR house. Show the proof that I attacked my own mum. You’re actually disgusting. Unbelievable. https://t.co/zU4OiVJgbM — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018 Given that this has been brewing for weeks now and looks to have finally come to an ultimate head, it’s likely that this singular Twitter feud will be the last we hear on the matter. Be sure to follow us @Dexerto on Twitter for all the latest up-to-date updates on this developing situation. UPDATE On Christmas Day, Deji posted a video on YouTube giving a little more background information and an update on the feud from his point of view. Hours after posting the video, however, Deji has deleted it from YouTube along with all of his Tweets from their heated feud. I’ll be the bigger person and delete the video I made today and all my tweets. Merry Christmas everyone, thank you everyone for your support :heart:️ — Deji (@Deji) December 25, 2018 Shortly after the video was posted, though, KSI called his brother out on Twitter, accusing him of using the whole thing to get views. YOU’VE MADE YET ANOTHER VIDEO?!?!? I’m literally alone in my house on Christmas Day, and you’ve got mum and dad with you. You’ve got everything you wanted and you’re still making videos on me!!!! OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!? @Deji — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018 LOOK HOW MANY VIDEOS YOU’VE MADE ABOUT ME!!! YOURE MAKING IT SO OBVIOUS THAT YOURE DOING THIS FOR VIEWS, FOR CLOUT, JUST LEAVE IT FOR FUCK SAKE. WHY CANT YOU JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!! @Deji — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 25, 2018

KSI agrees to Tyron Woodley boxing match on one condition – Dexerto
KSI agrees to Tyron Woodley boxing match on one condition IG: KSI / TyronWoodleyBritish rapper and fighter KSI has outlined what needs to happen for him to schedule a fight with Tyron Woodley, the former UFC Welterweight Champion who lost back-to-back fights versus Jake Paul. The YouTube boxing world has become a high-profile arena of internet celebrities, former fighters and more calling one another out, scheduling bouts, and generally trash-talking. As fans await the announcement of KSI’s next boxing opponent – following his defeat of Swarmz and Luis Pineda – former MMA star Tyron Woodley has continued to agitate for a fight. The once UFC Welterweight Champion has been pushing for a scrap with KSI since his second loss to Jake Paul, even releasing an image of the alleged contract that existed between the two men, only for KSI to “bail”. Now, KSI has responded to Woodley, outlining exactly what it’ll take for him to step into the ring. KSI agrees to Tyron Woodley fight – after the former MMA star wins In a late November 17 tweet, KSI agreed to fight Tyron Woodley – but only after he’s won a fight against another opponent. “You haven’t won a fight since 2018 brother,” KSI said. “When you finally get a win, then I’ll fight you. Deal?” He did not address Woodley’s specific allegations of a contract being agreed between the two men. Tyron Woodley has not yet responded to KSI’s offer, but he did claim that he has “two companies that will fund the purse”, seemingly to narrow the Brit’s options in terms of avoiding a bout. It does seem likely that the two will eventually meet in the ring, but Woodley has joined a long list of potential opponents for KSI with Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, and more all in line to scrap the wildly successful rapper and entrepreneur.

KSI allegedly dropped FaZe Sensei in sparring ahead of Logan Paul fight – Dexerto
KSI allegedly dropped FaZe Sensei in sparring ahead of Logan Paul fight Popular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI‘ Olatunji allegedly dropped FaZe Sensei in their pre-Logan Paul rematch sparring session, with a video of the incident said to exist. Both KSI and Logan Paul are deep into their respective training programs ahead of the highly-anticipated rematch in Los Angeles, California, with the pair revealing different levels of insight about how it’s going. KSI has released videos and tweets documenting his progress, including knocking out his sparring partners. On the other hand, Logan has been battling with injuries and pent up anger ahead of the fight but hasn’t dropped any solid training footage. Yet, it might be a video that fans may never see that could have a big impact on the result of their rematch. 500In the build-up to the fight, KSI has been working with the infamous Mayweather camp, as well as Isiah ‘FaZe Sensei’ Ocasio – who helped train his brother Deji and is a mixed martial arts trainer in his own right. However, he has apparently helped the British YouTuber in his quest to become the best boxer he can be. “I sparred Sensei recently and he’ll tell you that things are very different now,” tweeted KSI on October 29. Olatunji also noted that Logan has pushed him to a new level in his skills and that he had to thank his opponent for that – but fans were left teased with the possibility of Sensei revealing the step up that KSI had made. I sparred Sensei recently and he’ll tell you that things are very different now. Logan’s pushed me to a new level, and for that, I thank him. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) October 29, 2019 While the FaZe Clan member hasn’t said anything, he was apparently dropped by KSI during a sparring session in the build-up. Drama Alert YouTuber Daniel ‘Keemstar’ Keem claimed to have been shown the video by the Mayweather camp after KSI seemingly deleted a tweet stating that he had done so. What this all means for his rematch with Logan remains to be seen, but according to what KSI is saying, he is primed and ready to go. He, and the fans, won’t have to wait all that much longer either, as the YouTube rivals will square off on November 9, live from the Staples Centre.

KSI agrees to let iShowSpeed on 20vs1 Sidemen video – Dexerto
KSI agrees to let iShowSpeed on 20vs1 Sidemen video ishowspeedKSI has agreed to let YouTube star iShowSpeed take part in the 20 women vs 1 Sidemen video, and fans are pumped. iShowSpeed has taken the internet by storm in the last year. Known for his unusual yet enthusiastic personality, the Cristiano Ronaldo super fan was by far the most-watched streamer on YouTube in 2022 — and it wasn’t even close. Following the Sidemen Charity football match last year, Speed has been keen to appear in the group’s 20 women vs 1 Sidemen series. Now, it looks like we’ll finally be seeing it happen. iShowSpeed to join Sidemen 20vs1 During his birthday live stream on January 22, the now 18-year-old asked KSI if they could finally make the video. “Let’s do a 20vs1, I’m ready for the 20vs1” he said on FaceTime to the PRIME co-founder. “You actually want to do it?” KSI responded with chuckles. “I actually want to do it, can I do it or not,” Speed replied. “I mean of course, but I’m scared, for the women bro. Bro, you’re a wild guy,” said KSI. “Yeah, I might just sniff them and bark at them,” the 18-year-old joked. “Come on now bro, 20vs1, everybody’s waiting on it bro, come on now.” The YouTube boxer then agreed that they’ll make it happen next time Speed is in London. “Everyone is waiting on it, so yeah we’ll make it happen, man. Next time you’re in London bro, we’ll get it cracking.” Previously, we’ve seen others such as Logan Paul, JiDion and Kai Cenat undergo the 20vs1 video — a speed-dating spinoff where the Sidemen speak in their ear and give outrageous instructions on what to do during the date. With Speed confirming he’ll be in London sometime in February, it shouldn’t be long till fans will see the rising YouTuber on the Sidemen channel.

KSI agrees to meet Tommy Fury’s last condition to make anticipated fight happen – Dexerto
KSI agrees to meet Tommy Fury’s last condition to make anticipated fight happen KSI / Tommy FuryKSI has agreed to Tommy Fury’s last condition for them to touch gloves in the ring after giving the professional boxer a deadline to sign the contract for their highly-anticipated bout. Since Jake Paul lost to the hands of Tommy Fury in early 2023, KSI has been eyeing up a bout with the professional boxer, as he looks to prove that he’s miles ahead of Jake Paul, or any other influencer boxer for that matter, by completing the job his rival couldn’t. For months now, KSI and Fury have gone back and forth in negotiations. However, the two have come to a head when it comes to deciding some terms. Despite already agreeing on pay, the number of rounds, and KSI even being lenient to fight on Fury’s terms at 180lbs with no rehydration clause, the Love Island star is still yet to put pen to paper and sign the contract. It’s fair to say KSI is frustrated, claiming he feels “disrespected” by the four-month negotiations that have become an absolute chore. In a June 30 video, the YouTube star gave a final ultimatum, demanding Tommy signs the contract before July 3, at 6 PM BST before he loses the opportunity to touch gloves. Tommy Fury responds after KSI gives fight ultimatum Tommy hit back in an Instagram story on July 1, explaining he isn’t the reason the contract hasn’t been signed — claiming KSI has only now agreed to drug testing before the fight, and is complaining about fighting at 185lbs. “This fight is at 185. Take it or leave it. I know you’re a midget and you’re worrying about the weight, but get some more food down you, and you’ll get there,” he said. KSI then responded, agreeing to fight Fury at 185lbs, but only if he agrees to a weigh-in on the morning of fight day. “Tommy, I wanna KO your ass so badly that I’ll come up in weight and do 185lbs if you agree to do the weigh-in on the morning of fight day,” he wrote in a tweet. “Nice fair fight. If not you will forever be known as Tommy Ducky.” As it stands it is unclear if the contract has been signed, and if the two will actually go blow for blow. At the time of writing, there are just over 24 hours until KSI’s deadline for Fury is up on July 3.

KSI agrees to fight Adam Saleh in heated DMs as tensions rise – Dexerto
KSI agrees to fight Adam Saleh in heated DMs as tensions rise YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Adam Saleh VlogsYouTuber and music artist KSI has agreed to spar fellow influencer Adam Saleh in a series of leaked DMs as their beef continues to escalate following Saleh’s draw with Walid Sharks. KSI and Adam Saleh have been beefing back and forth for the past month. Their rivalry kicked off when KSI accused Saleh of being a “fraud” upon learning that Saleh had purportedly fixed his charity match against mixed martial artist Marcus Stephenson in 2019. Saleh hit back at the British YouTuber in an Instagram story shortly thereafter, claiming he’d “Tank Davis this dude if I have ONE round with him in the ring” and bragging that KSI was too “scared” to box him. Their drama came to a head after Saleh faced off against young Walid Sharks on July 30 — a bout that ended in a draw, despite many viewers feeling that Sharks had thoroughly outshone his opponent. Their draw resulted in a slew of outrage over the ruling, prompting KSI to poke fun at Saleh for losing to a “kid” in the ring, with Saleh in turn asking that KSI fight a “real” boxer of his own weight class. It seems that these two will duke out their differences against each other in the boxing ring sometime soon, after Saleh leaked a few DMs with KSI scheduling a future sparring match. “I don’t care,” KSI wrote. “Just come to the gym. 10 AM. I’ll tell you the gym a few days before.” “Say less,” Saleh replied. “I’ll just humble you,” KSI shot back. “Lmao I’ma humble you,” Saleh retorted. “I honestly think the person I fought today is more of a challenge than you. I fight better with big dudes like you.” “We’ll have a medic around in case you get knocked out,” KSI warned. “See you soon boss.” While it’s true that KSI has his sights set on boxing Jake Paul when his music career slows down, it seems that fans have a bit of an appetizer before this long-awaited grudge match takes place — although we still don’t know where or when this sudden sparring match is going down.

KSI agrees to fight IShowSpeed on same day as Jake Paul boxing match – Dexerto
KSI agrees to fight IShowSpeed on same day as Jake Paul boxing match DexertoKSI has accepted IShowSpeed’s sparring challenge, but on the condition that it’s on the same day as rival Jake Paul’s return to the ring. On December 15, Jake Paul is set to take on Andre August in his next boxing bout and it seems like he’s going to have more to contend with than just struggling ticket sales. On November 28, YouTuber IShowSpeed called out fellow influencer KSI, urging him to accept a sparring match and name a date so the two can duke it out, with Speed vowing to kick the Prime co-founder’s ass. Unfortunately for Jake Paul, his rival seems to have picked a date to compete directly with him for viewership, potentially taking eyes off his match if it’s streamed. KSI takes aim at Jake Paul with IShowSpeed sparring match date Shortly after IShowSpeed’s challenge, KSI agreed, however, with the stipulation that it’s on December 15, the same day as Jake Paul’s match with Andre August. “December 15th, come through and let’s do this,” he said. While KSI didn’t mention Jake Paul, the two have been feuding for a long time despite never actually battling each other in the ring. Both fighters had their unbeaten streaks ended by Tommy Fury, so the verdict on who is the better boxer remains up in the air. Nonetheless, KSI sparring Speed on the same day as Jake’s fight is unlikely a coincidence, as their feud extends beyond just who is the better boxer. Their rivalry has even seen pay-per-view sales compared. Notably, the Prime card featuring KSI vs Tommy Fury and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis reportedly matched a PPV buy record. Only time will tell if Jake Paul and KSI end up settling their differences in the ring, but this sparring announcement is just the latest jab in the feud between the two fighters.

KSI agrees to fight Dax ahead of Logan Paul rematch KSI, ThatsDax – InstagramYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to touch gloves once more in the net’s most anticipated boxing rematch yet – but there’s one thing KSI has to take care of before setting foot back in the USA. Following his initial match with Logan Paul in August 2018, KSI stirred up beef with another YouTuber – rapper Daniel ‘Dax’ Nwosu Jr., specifically, who called out KSI for making fun of him in his videos. Dax claimed that he would “hop on a plane to London” to rectify the matter, with KSI appearing to be up to the challenge, even offering to pay for Dax’s “flight and accommodation.” Want me to pay for your flight and accommodation? :joyful::joyful::joyful: https://t.co/FRYLu8oWGS — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) February 24, 2019 However, nothing came of their proposed bout until September 2019, after KSI noticed that Dax had set foot into the UK and was being rather quiet about his travel plans. Dax didn’t let this sentiment go unanswered, making sure to remind KSI that he’d been busy with a slew of music gigs as reasoning for his silence. Ain’t it funny how @thatsdax and @AlexWassabi and a few others are all in London, yet all I hear is silence :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:. Bunch of posers. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) September 27, 2019 His busy schedule didn’t stop him from proposing a sparring match, though, with the rapper scheduling a bout with KSI for Monday, September 30 – to which KSI happily agreed. “You performed to 200 people in a 400 capacity venue,” KSI taunted in reply. “They said you were a nice guy though, to be fair. What time Monday?” You didn’t sell out, I had some of my people at the Camden Assembly lol. You performed to 200 people in a 400 capacity venue. They said you were a nice guy though to be fair. What time on Monday? https://t.co/sUxL5HPjso — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) September 28, 2019 While both Dax and KSI have yet to speak further regarding their proposed bout, their sparring match would mark a potential end to a months-long beef between the two celebrities – but with the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch on the horizon, it likewise interrupts the narrative with a seemingly random spat out of left field. Dax wasn’t the only YouTuber KSI called out for being in the UK, either: he likewise called out social media star Alex Wassabi, who was fiending for a fight with KSI prior to his bout with Logan Paul in 2018. However, it doesn’t look like KSI will ever throw down with this particular content creator: and with less than two months until his fight with Logan Paul, the white-collar boxer is likely putting all his time into practicing for his first-ever pro boxing match.

KSI agrees to $10m wager against Joe Fournier as he simply ‘doesn’t care’ – Dexerto
KSI agrees to $10m wager against Joe Fournier as he simply ‘doesn’t care’ YouTube: KSIKSI is set to take on Joe Fournier in May of this year, with the content creator turned boxer firing back at comments Fournier made about putting $10 million on the line for the upcoming match. After months of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that KSI’s next boxing opponent will be Joe Fournier, with the two set to go toe-to-toe in the ring on May 13, 2023. Following the initial announcement, the trash talk has quickly ramped up between the pair, with Fournier even stating that he’s willing to put $10 million on the line for the match. During a recent interview, KSI hit back at Fournier’s claims that he will put this kind of money on the line, with the content creator also taking offense, arguing that Fournier implies Misfits, his boxing company, is only worth that amount. “Wow. I think $10 million is pretty low for the price of Misfits. I think Misfits is way more than $10 million but if he wants to put $10 million on the line, I’m down. Like for me money isn’t the reason I do this. For me, it’s all about legacy, it’s about showing the world that a guy who started in his bedroom is about to do all these crazy things ten years later.” KSI reacts to Joe Fournier’s offer to buy Misfits for $10 million KSI then adds that, while the money may be a talking point for the upcoming fight, this aspect to the match is something that holds little interest for him. “Constantly just me showing my audience what it takes for hard work, and dedication. You know, I didn’t start out with talent or people like to label me as talented, no. You can literally see where I started from and I just worked hard to get to this point. I just want to keep pushing and pushing and pushing to see how far I can go. So yeah, if he wants to throw $10 million on the line, let’s put $10 million on the line whatever I don’t care. I just know the outcome and it’s gonna be him on the floor sleeping.” On March 22, KSI posted a fight poster featuring himself and Fournier online, writing, “May 13th, we go again. Another KO incoming.” This marks the second pro boxer KSI will have faced, but will potentially be his most challenging opponent yet. Fournier has also commented on his upcoming match with KSI, saying in an Instagram post, “The deal is done and I’m back where I belong… headlining Wembley Arena on pay-per-view against KSI.” KSI vs Joe Fournier is the headline match on the Misfits x DAZN Series 007 boxing event. The bout will take place on Saturday, May 13. As part of Misfits Boxing’s partnership with DAZN, KSI vs Joe Fournier will be available to stream exclusively via DAZN.

KSI admits iShowSpeed “owned” him during Sidemen Charity Match 2022 – Dexerto
KSI admits iShowSpeed “owned” him during Sidemen Charity Match 2022 YouTube: KSI/SidemenIn a recent video, KSI reacted to the viral memes about his performance during the Sidemen Charity Match, acknowledging how he “took the loss” against iShowSpeed. The 2022 Sidemen Charity Match was a massive success, raising over £1 million in just over three hours. Similar to the last couple of Sidemen Charity matches, the game was held at The Valley Stadium in London. The YouTube stream of the game peaked at 2.6 million viewers, in large part due to the epic lineup of content creators and influencers that took part in the game. One of the biggest names to feature on the Sidemen team was KSI, whose performance in the match gained attention for all the wrong reasons. During the match, KSI and IShowSpeed went toe to toe on multiple occasions, with Speed getting the upper hand during all the big moments. In a video called “Speed owned me,’ KSI broke down the recent Sidemen Charity Match. Initially, KSI admitted that he does “feel great” given that his team “got the dub.” However, he then went on to talk about his own performance in a less positive manner. “I had so much hype. I was so ready and I flopped.” There were two occasions during the match where Speed seemingly got the better of KSI. The first was in the opening minutes of the game, where Speed dove into KSI with a slide tackle that sent him to the ground. The second was a tackle just outside the box, with Speed then standing over KSI. While KSI did call the incident a “funny moment”, he pulled the referee up for seemingly “not caring” about the fact that it was an illegal tackle. “He did trip me guys, let’s be honest.” KSI then spoke about JiDion missing the event after being evicted, calling on his fans to send their love and support for the content creator who he says is “going through it at the moment.” However, he mentioned his hope that JiDion will be able to “come to the charity match next year,” inadvertently confirming that the Sidemen crew is planning on bringing the event back annually. Here’s hoping that both KSI and Speed return for the Sidemen charity match next year so they can recreate and add to the memes from 2022.

KSI admits there’s no beef with new opponent Swarmz: “You’re just a replacement” – Dexerto
KSI admits there’s no beef with new opponent Swarmz: “You’re just a replacement” YouTube: The W.A.D.E. ConceptWith Alex Wassabi no longer in the main event, musician Swarmz has been called up as a last-minute replacement for KSI’s upcoming fight. Though despite the grandeur of the PPV and an expectation to sell out the O2 Arena, KSI has admitted there’s no animosity between him and his new opponent. In light of Alex Wassabi missing the August 27 date with KSI, allegedly due to either concussion issues or a recently implied broken hand, English rapper Swarmz was locked in as a replacement. With the fresh face lacking any notable boxing experience, many were quick to lash out the matchmaking, with KSI even agreeing that it’s an “L” in the short term. Given the two remain in place as the PPV headliner, many would assume some beef between the former collaborators would add an element of intrigue to the fight. However, that’s not the case. In fact, KSI has admitted as much, claiming there’s no tension between the two whatsoever. Having previously featured on KSI’s 2020 record ‘Houdini’, the two are certainly no strangers. But even now set to square off against one another in a boxing ring, it appears there’s no beef fueling the matchup. “He just thinks he can beat me. That’s just it,” KSI admitted during an interview on the W.A.D.E. Concept channel. “I think he posted saying ‘I know what [you’ve] done,’ and I’m like bro, what the f*** did I do? I don’t even know. What’s going on?” Where there was deep-rooted anger for his previous opponent in Wassabi, the same evidently can’t be said for his new challenger. With no personal rivalry taking shape, the Sidemen star explained it’s purely just a fight to him and nothing more. “We’re just fighting, that’s it. You’re just a replacement because [Alex Wassabi] pussied out,” he said. As a result, KSI understands if fans are less eager to purchase tickets, order the PPV, and maintain interest. “If you wanna see, fine. If not, fine. I’m still doing it anyway,” he said in an August 7 Twitter thread. Swarmz has two weeks left to prepare for his boxing debut as he steps in to face KSI on August 27.

KSI admits he would be “pissed” if Joe Fournier win is overturned to a disqualification – Dexerto
KSI admits he would be “pissed” if Joe Fournier win is overturned to a disqualification YouTube: MMA HourInfluencer boxer KSI admitted he would be extremely frustrated if his recent win against Joe Fournier is overruled as a disqualification following the controversial finish that saw KSI get the TKO after his elbow connected with Fournier. The recent fight between KSI and Joe Fournier has been making waves lately, in large part due to the controversial finish that saw KSI get another win. While throughout the fight KSI had the upper hand, he ended up winning the match after he seemingly struck Fournier with his elbow. The moment has been going viral on social media, with many other boxers, including Jake Paul, throwing their thoughts and opinions out on the finish online. However, in a new interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, KSI spoke candidly about the finish and what his reactions are now looking back at the footage. KSI discusses the finish at the x timestamp below: 14:55 “I truly still believe that I hit him with the glove and while he’s falling, because it was so fast, and if you look at the playback normal speed, you’ll blink and you’ll miss it. I feel like I came through and it probably grazed him but a lot of the impact hit with the forearm.” When the content creator was then asked how he would react if the win was overturned, KSI spoke candidly about how he would be “fine” with a no-contest result but would be frustrated if it was overruled as a disqualification. “If it’s a no-contest, fine. I’ll be pissed if it’s a disqualification because I didn’t intentionally try to hit him with my forearm or my elbow or whatever.” KSI vs Joe Fournier fight result still yet to be confirmed Time will tell what the final result ends up being. However, we’ll be sure to keep you updated here at Dexerto when more information is released about the final ruling between the KSI and Joe Fournier match. Joe Fournier himself has also been vocal about his opinions on the outcome of their fight. After the match, Fournier accused KSI of cheating, saying in a post-match interview: “They cheated, clear in black and white. The ref was right there, watched it. I’ve never been cheated like that in my life. I can’t believe it.” With a formal appeal now underway, we’ll have to wait and see what becomes of the ruling in the near future.

KSI admits he’s “disappointed” with Deji over Alex Wassabi boxing loss – Dexerto
KSI admits he’s “disappointed” with Deji over Alex Wassabi boxing loss YouTube: KSI, DejiYouTube star KSI has issued his response to the ShowStar influencer boxing event that took place this weekend… and he’s not happy with his little brother, Deji’s, performance. When it comes to influencer boxing, it’s safe to say that KSI is one of the few creators who pioneered the trend. KSI’s bouts against longtime rival Logan Paul and his fight with the UK’s Joe Weller sparked a viral fad that has influencers all over the world settling their differences in the ring. KSI’s younger brother, Deji, notably fought his very first boxing match against Jake Paul during KSI vs Logan Paul in August 2018 — a match Deji ended up losing. Deji went on to rack up a second loss against Vinnie Hacker in 2021’s YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing showdown, giving him a 0-2 record. Hoping to finally score a W, Deji faced off with YouTuber Alex Wassabi for ShowStar Boxing’s UK vs USA influencer boxing event on March 5… but this, too, proved a loss for the influencer. Two days after the bout went down, big bro KSI weighed in on the matter in a heated YouTube video, saying he is “disappointed” in his little brother over his third boxing loss in as many fights. Its a back and forth war in the main event! Watch LIVE Now: https://t.co/kTY4Kfkgmq#showstar #ukvsusa pic.twitter.com/SmXLwl7BqR — showstarboxing (@showstarboxing) March 5, 2022 KSI slams Deji over Alex Wassabi boxing loss “Deji, I’m disappointed,” KSI began. “That’s honestly how I feel, man. I’m sorry if that’s not what you wanna hear, but it’s the truth.” “I’m not gonna lie to you — I expected more from you,” he continued. “First of all, tactic-wise, how did you ever think you were gonna win this fight? What was the game plan? You’re the shorter fighter, you’ve got a smaller reach.” “You can fool your audience, Deji, but you can’t fool me. You simply didn’t do enough.” KSI made no bones about his distaste for Alex Wassabi before slamming the video Deji published after the fight — where he notably said he wants to continue boxing — saying it “p*ssed” him off. (Topic begins at 2:35) Alex Wassabi calls out KSI over comments on Deji Shortly after KSI’s video aired, Alex Wassabi took to Instagram to publicly call out KSI for “kicking your little brother when he’s down.” KSI didn’t seem to take this verbal blow all to seriously, replying: “Na, I’m just letting him know that you’re s**t and he should have wiped the floor with you.” https://twitter.com/TheBreadBatch/status/1501328325167353863 KSI’s comments follow claims of a “rigged” fight on the ShowStar boxing card, with FaZe Temperrr filing an appeal after losing his bout against King Kenney.

KSI admits he was “annoyed” by double KO victory against Swarmz & Pineda – Dexerto
KSI admits he was “annoyed” by double KO victory against Swarmz & Pineda YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI created a first in the world of influencer boxing by defeating two opponents in a single night… but he says he was a bit “annoyed” by his opponents. YouTuber, rapper, and budding boxer KSI faced a myriad of difficulties setting up his highly-anticipated boxing comeback match for August 26, 2022. After nearly two years out of the ring, KSI was initially slated to face off against American YouTuber Alex Wassabi — but due to a purported injury, his first choice in opponents had to bow out. Next, KSI opted for British rapper ‘Swarmz,’ a pick that many fans weren’t happy with. Thus, KSI raised the stakes in a huge and totally unexpected way by introducing another fight in the same night. At first, KSI was set to box against Bulgarian middleweight pro Ivan Nikolov for his second bout of the evening — but the boxer’s racist tattoos prompted DAZN to quickly drop him in favor of Mexican fighter Luis Pineda. KSI “annoyed” by Swarmz & Pineda fights The YouTuber finished off both his rivals in short order, obtaining two victories and marking a first for influencer-boxers…but despite his double-win, KSI says he was “annoyed” by his opponents and wished they would have given him a bigger challenge. “Bro, I made it look easy,” the YouTuber laughed. “Swarmz came through with all this smoke — I hit him once and he’s like, ‘Nah, nah, I don’t want any of this.’ Same with Pineda! He’s a pro, he’s meant to be a pro, bro, he’s moving like a p***y, bruv!” “Again, I hit him once, and he’s like, ‘Yo, I’m out, I’m already in Mexico, bruv. I need that plane back!’ …I’m there chasing my opponent. I was so annoyed, bro! I trained so hard to have two opponents just be b**ches.” (Topic begins at 35:00) Despite his grievances, KSI made sure to give his former rivals props for taking the fights on short notice, allowing him to have an unforgettable match that has etched itself into the halls of internet history. For now, it’s unclear what KSI’s next moves will be — but it seems he’s got his eye set on fellow YouTube boxer Jake Paul for 2023.

KSI admits he was “surprised” by Joe Fournier’s aggressive push at press conference – Dexerto
KSI admits he was “surprised” by Joe Fournier’s aggressive push at press conference YouTube: iFL TV, Misfits BoxingYouTube star KSI said he was “surprised” after boxing opponent Joe Fournier shoved him during a press conference for their upcoming bout this summer. KSI’s boxing career is coming to a close, as the British rapper has claimed that he’s planning on retiring following his final four matches this year. After taking out FaZe Temperrr in January, KSI is now slated to face off with British pro boxer Joe Fournier in May — and it doesn’t look like there’s any love lost between these two athletes. Although rumors pinned a KSI vs Fournier bout as far back as 2022, it wasn’t officially confirmed until March 2023, following months of Fournier publicly challenging his YouTube rival to a fight. Now, KSI is set to take on the second pro boxer in his career, and things are already off to an explosive start. KSI reacts to being shoved by Joe Fournier at press conference On April 6, KSI and Fournier stood face to face at a press conference for their May boxing match. During their faceoff, the two engaged in a little trash talk, which ended in Fournier aggressively shoving KSI before security separated the pair. (Faceoff happens at 37:23) Misfits Boxing caught up with KSI just after the altercation and asked him if he was “surprised” about Fournier’s sudden display of aggression. “Yeah, it definitely did surprise me,” he admitted. “I don’t know — maybe he just wanted to touch my body to see if I’ve actually been training. But yeah, it seems like I rattled him by just doing nothing.” “I don’t know. I thought it was very weird that he did that. I think he’s trying to show dominance. The whole press conference was just him trying to show dominance. I think he talked way more than I did, which is definitely unusual for me.” (Topic begins at 0:45) Judging by KSI’s relaxed demeanor during the interview, it doesn’t look like the internet star was shook up by his opponent’s reaction as he prepares for their fight next month. KSI will go on to face the winner of the upcoming KingPyn influencer boxing event, which is set to take place over the course of multiple months this summer.

KSI adds his name to list of 500k people campaigning to save Deji’s dog – Dexerto
KSI adds his name to list of 500k people campaigning to save Deji’s dog While working to fix their well-publicized feud, YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has added his name to the long list of people trying to save brother Deji’s dog, Tank. Deji is a successful YouTuber in his own right, currently having an audience of nearly 10 million subscribers, but has had to make appeals to save the life of Tank, who has been ordered to be euthanized after an incident in July 2018. Judge David Farrell stated that Tank bit an elderly neighbor, causing “very nasty injuries” before biting another, who did not have any injuries from the situation. After the decision that Tank will have to be put down, many people are evidently shocked and upset by the decision, with some believing that the neighbor antagonized Tank, while others simply state that he should not have to pay with his life for this incident. On December 18, KSI tweeted about the situation in support of his brother and Tank, suggesting that their past feud may finally have come to a head. It was a simple tweet, only saying “#SaveTank,” but within hours he had received thousands of likes and retweets — garnering a lot of support for the German Shepherd. After the incident in Summer 2018, a Change.org petition was set up by Deji’s girlfriend to help support him and the case. To-date, the petition is now closing in on 500,000 names campaigning to save Tank. The petition was originally created shortly following the incident, but since the announcement that Tank would be put down, it has seen a resurgence in support and signatures, with over 443,000 at the time of writing. The page explains an alternate version of events, which states that the neighbor originally lashed out at Tank and was aggressive with him, causing the dog to become stressed and attack the woman to protect himself. Deji has 28 days to appeal the case, meaning there is still a chance that Tank could be saved and brought back to his owners. We expect Deji will appeal the decision, but whether it amounts to anything remains to be seen.

KSI admits criticism from fans is “too much” for him – Dexerto
KSI admits criticism from fans is “too much” for him YouTube: KSIKSI has claimed that criticism from his fans is “getting too much” for him following his YouTube return after a brief hiatus. KSI is one of the most popular influencers in the UK. For years, the YouTube star has dominated the platform, all while branching out into other passions such as music and boxing. In his own words, for years he’s been nonstop grinding, and following his recent fight with Tommy Fury, where he was subsequently handed his first loss, he took a step away from YouTube. Finally, on December 1, KSI returned to YouTube with a new upload, where he finally broke his silence on the loss and divulged how he just “didn’t feel like making a video.” KSI reveals criticism from his Reddit is “a bit too much” In a recent December 8 SideCast episode, KSI was asked by fellow Sidemen members what he’ll be uploading on YouTube next. The Prime co-founder revealed that he might do a video reacting to his Reddit. However, he explained that right now it’s in “chaos” and “very critical” of him. “F**k me, man, the Reddit is chaos right now,” said KSI. “I think it’s full of just a lot of my haters. Full of a lot of like Jake Paul fans.” He added: “There’s also just, I don’t know, like people that are old fans that are now saying I’ve changed and stuff like that. I don’t know, it’s very critical of me.” While acknowledging that for a while his Reddit making fun of him was a running joke and part of what made his videos, the YouTube star revealed that it no longer feels like a joke. “It’s getting to the point where it’s a bit too much,” he confessed. “Now it’s not a joke anymore. Now it’s like okay, this is kind of personal.” Although with that said, KSI admitted that he just needs to “face the music” — realizing that once he’s reacted to it the “chaos” will calm down.

KSI addresses crypto pump and dump allegations amid viral exposé – Dexerto
KSI addresses crypto pump and dump allegations amid viral exposé Instagram: KSIKSI has responded to cryptocurrency pump-and-dump “scam” allegations as prominent YouTube investigator Coffeezilla highlighted various transactions brought to light on social media. Over the past few years, as crypto has become increasingly popular, pump-and-dump schemes have as well. The label applies when a given cryptocurrency is promoted (pumped), leading to a temporary surge in value while they sell off (dump) their investment for a typically huge profit. From esports org owners to social media celebs, many have been outed for their involvement in such schemes. Now, after fellow Prime Hydration founder Logan Paul found himself in hot water for his actions in the crypto space, so too does KSI find himself at the center of controversy. The British YouTuber recently signed back into his KSICRYPTO account on X (formerly known as Twitter). Upon doing so, crypto-based investigator ZachXBT highlighted the first account of an alleged pump and dump. KSI tweeted in March of 2022 that his “$XCAD bag [was] looking juicy again,” along with the hashtag “HodlGang,” a colloquial term in the crypto space meaning to ‘hold’ onto your investment and not sell off despite fluctuations in value. Zach exposed transactions from KSI’s crypto wallet at the time, as the influencer seemingly sold off “$850,000 worth of XCAD over the following days.” The alleged dump began the very same day he sent that tweet. In conversation with Coffeezilla, Zach then followed up with accounts of three other similar instances. On one such occasion, KSI tweeted about two NFT coins he was supposedly “very bullish on.” Six hours after tweeting in apparent support of said coins, he allegedly sold $174,926 worth of one currency, before repeating again a few hours later. “If that isn’t a textbook pump and dump, I don’t know what is,” Coffee said in his latest YouTube video on the matter. Contacting KSI directly, Coffee managed to get a response on the accusations, with KSI claiming he’s still part of the “HodlGang” to this day. Regarding the initial tweet, he claims he “sold some profit (as well as my own money) to put into Luna, thinking I would profit more to buy back more XCAD, and took a major L.” Despite selling off close to a million in XCAD at the time, allegedly to invest in Luna, KSI claims he still “fully believes in XCAD” and continues holding some of that particular crypto today. Diving into the other examples, KSI explained they were simply “coins I put my own money into thinking they would do well. I didn’t have any malicious intent in trying to scam. “ I was new to crypto so I was excited. Putting money in random things trying to chase the pumps and ultimately lost heavily.” “I hope people didn’t take my advice/tweets as gold because looking at my track record, I was f***ing dogsh**.” Distancing himself from “scam” accusations, KSI continued in saying “I wish I was an evil genius that would pump and dump at the right time, because at least then people would say I had some wit about me. Reality is, I was just sh** at crypto. “I put in 2 million of my own money and lost it all in the end. I made zero profit on crypto.” Addressing direct tweets in which he claimed to be “bullish” on certain tokens, KSI argued he was merely presenting “the opposite” on social media. “I thought I was getting trolled. Every time I tweeted something, the opposite would happen on the market. So I decided to tweet the opposite of what I was actually doing and still took an L.” Coffeezilla didn’t exactly “buy” this account of the story, and remains dubious over KSI’s involvement in the crypto space. Beyond his messages to the YouTube investigator, KSI is yet to publicly address the matter in further detail.

KSI addresses pregnancy scare rumors with shocking story – Dexerto
KSI addresses pregnancy scare rumors with shocking story KSI, YouTube / Adobe StockPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has officially addressed rumors of a pregnancy scare as alleged by his younger Deji, during their month-long feud in late 2018. KSI told a surprising story about such an instance during a KFC ‘Mukbang’ video uploaded on January 16, where he claimed that he’d slept with an unnamed woman – without protection. “There’s this girl who I slept with… didn’t wear a condom, for some reason,” KSI began. “…and then bro, I shit you not fam, she hit me with the, ‘We need to talk,’ message a few days after.” Much to KSI’s relief, the woman in question wasn’t pregnant after all – although their relationship didn’t end up panning out after the scare. “We were talking and she was like, ‘I think I’m pregnant. I think I’m pregnant,’” KSI continued. “And I’m like, ‘I’m here for you anyway.’ …and she was like, ‘Oh, wait, I’m not… we should still hang out after.’ And I’m like, ‘Peace!’” Deji initially alleged that KSI had impregnated a girl during his response to a diss track made by KSI’s cameraman, Randolph, who had accused Deji of the same offense during the song. “The only person who’s ever got a girl pregnant is my brother, alright?” Deji said of the track. “My brother’s got someone pregnant, and I imagine it was probably JJ [KSI] who gave you some shit information, cause that’s what JJ’s probably done.” The two brothers have since squashed their beef, after Deji uploaded an apology video in early January and deleted his diss track against KSI.

KSI accuses Logan Paul of exploiting dog’s death for views – Dexerto
KSI accuses Logan Paul of exploiting dog’s death for views Sidemen star Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has reignited his beef with rival Logan Paul, taking shots at the American for using the death of his dog for YouTube views. The pair’s history is well documented, as they clashed for months prior to their boxing match, which ultimately ended in a draw on August 25, 2018. While a rematch has been in the pipeline for a while now, KSI has put boxing on the sidelines to focus on his music career and the release of his latest album ‘New Age’. Logan Paul mocks KSI’s music career KSI announced on Twitter that more VIP packages have been added to his London shows, despite normal tickets not selling out, which Paul was quick to mock. The former college wrestler told the Brit to “finish your shit tour so we can fight” with KSI hitting back by taking aim at Paul’s music ventures. kid can’t even sell out 50 person venues :monocle: finish your shit tour so we can fight https://t.co/Go9tIwhJ2X — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) June 8, 2019 However, the YouTuber was quick to point out that “The Number Song” had amassed significantly more views than some of KSI’s songs – reaching 33m on YouTube since release. Nevertheless, the Sideman ensured he landed the final blow by accusing his rival of abusing the death of his dog, Kong, for views on the platform. Paul made numerous videos mourning the loss of his dog, which was sadly killed by a coyote at his home, including footage of his new puppy – Broley. The Twitter feud will only fuel talk of a boxing rematch in the near future, but the pair could be set to face off much sooner in Friday Fortnite with Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem confirming they will play in the June 21 tournament. Neither team have announced any details of the rematch, with KSI actively pursuing a contest against Logan’s brother Jake Paul instead.

KSI accuses Logan Paul of lying over boxing fight appeal – Dexerto
KSI accuses Logan Paul of lying over boxing fight appeal YouTube sensation, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji, has accused Logan Paul of faking his appeal rejection from the Boxing Commission, which apparently claimed that Logan was “ahead on two cards” before the infamous two-point deduction. After locking horns for six rounds, KSI clinched his first professional boxing victory versus Logan Paul by split decision. After years of back-and-forth on social media and multiple press conferences, the feud was settled. However, not leaving any stone unturned, Paul challenged the referee’s decision to deduct two points in the (now infamous) fourth round. Following on from the American’s appeal, the Boxing Commission rejected his plea to review the score — and it’s safe to say that KSI is “basking” in the outcome, as he taunted Paul’s appeal during a YouTube video uploaded on December 17. Not only did the Brit preempt Logan’s appeal backfiring, but he has now proceeded to scorn the long-time rival. While watching over Logan’s video titled: “congrats ksi,” Olatunji opened by thanking Paul for continually “giving him W’s.” KSI then went on to goad the American further by jesting: “Logan Paul is the only man to somehow lose twice in a boxing match.” After throwing a series of verbal jabs in Paul’s direction, KSI discussed the pair’s scorecard after reading the message which Logan claimed was from the Commission. Olatunji immediately questioned the authenticity of the message. “What are you on about?” KSI probed. “There’s no way someone from the Commission wrote this.”Not appearing convinced with the wording in the message, KSI then made a point to disprove the contents of the reply, by stating: “I’m looking at the scorecard right here… How have you won by points? This motherf**ker is lost!” After Logan highlighted that he “was ahead on two cards,” KSI turned to his framed picture of the scorecards and questioned: “Where were you ahead?” after showing that this was not the case, according to the judges’ scoring. After settling the scorecard debacle, Olatunji listened to how Logan was only really “fighting himself” in the ring. Paul then suggested that he “lost that fight,” to which KSI lapped up and ridiculed him for losing again. “So that’s three ‘L’s’” KSI joked. “You lost against yourself, you lost against me and then you lost against the Commission!” After poking fun at Logan, KSI continued to break-down the fight round-by-round by discounting any of Logan’s comments, before going on to discuss the “controversial” fourth round.

KSI accused of acting “spoilt” after complaining about his best friend Miniminter’s wedding – Dexerto
KSI accused of acting “spoilt” after complaining about his best friend Miniminter’s wedding YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has drawn the ire of some fans after he complained about the conditions of where he was staying for Miniminter’s wedding – who just so happens to be his best friend. A wedding day is supposed to be one of the best days of people’s lives. It’s a celebration of your most-treasured relationship and you get to celebrate with all your friends and family. In the case of his Miniminter, his wedding with long-time partner Talia Mar got married at the start of June in Italy. Naturally, the Sidemen tagged along to celebrate and turned up in serious style. They rented their own villa away from the main party, and while some of them were pleased with their choice, KSI wasn’t. And, as a result, the boxer and music producer has come under fire a bit from their legion of fans. KSI explains his complaints about villa at Miniminter’s wedding In an episode of the Side Podcast after the wedding, KSI explained that he expected the group to have a “100k” a night type villa. Instead, they managed to book the whole thing for around £5,000. “5K Villa! For the whole thing! Instantly, I knew it was going to be shit,” he said, noting he’d voted for a more expensive option when the group was originally making plans. “Obviously, I’m a little bit different. I have a certain standard.” While Vikkstar and others admitted it wasn’t “luxury,” they said it was ultimately “beautiful” but JJ voiced several complaints about the rooms they had and having to fend off insects around the buildings. However, fans couldn’t believe he was complaining. “Whatever the situation you just put up for your best mate’s wedding,” said one. “Sounds like everyone had a great time but KSI is spoilt and out of touch,” added another. “Actually crazy to complain at your best friends’ wedding,” another viewer. “It don’t matter how much you dislike it. It’s your best friend’s wedding just act happy and nice. I know KSI jokes a lot about money but recently his ego is crazy,” said another. While some viewers thought KSI went home and didn’t attend the wedding, that wasn’t the case. He got himself a different place to stay as a result and still went to Simon and Talia’s wedding. So, it all worked out in the end, in a way.

KSI accuses Jake Paul of being “racist” ahead of boxing match – Dexerto
KSI accuses Jake Paul of being “racist” ahead of boxing match KSI, Jake Paul – YouTubeBritish YouTube star KSI has made no secret of his dislike fellow content creator Jake Paul, a beef that exploded after KSI’s win over Logan Paul in 2019 — but there’s more to his hatred of the youngest Paul brother than just his content. KSI opened up about his feud with the Team 10 founder in a May 13 episode of KEEMSTAR and FaZe Banks’ ‘Mom’s Basement’ podcast, where he put Jake Paul at the top of his list of most-hated YouTubers. When asked to explain why he had such a vitriolic distaste for Paul, KSI cited his general attitude and even accused the star of racism, claiming he’d used racial slurs on multiple occasions. “Just his whole demeanor, how he is,” KSI answered. “He’s racist. Like, mad times he says the n-word. Bro, he’s just an a**hole. Even his video about him just beating up that dude — who you could tell doesn’t know how to box, has no idea how to box — and Jake’s just f**king him up.” “As a boxer, as a professional boxer, you should never do something like that, man,” he continued. “You don’t need to prove that you’re sick, if that makes sense, to someone who doesn’t know how to box.” (Topic begins at 27:45 for mobile readers) While Jake Paul has yet to respond to KSI’s accusations, these claims add further fuel to the fire of their already electrifying feud, which nearly got physical on the night of Paul’s victory over AnEsonGib in January. With the two almost going head-to-head in the ring, fans were quick to ask for a fight between the YouTubers as a way to officially end the beef between KSI and the Paul brothers, a possibility that Jake later confirmed in an Instagram story that laid out their fight for New York’s Madison Square garden. However, KSI was quick to note that the ball is in his court — although he also mentioned that their fight “needs” to happen, as stated in the Mom’s Basement podcast episode. As the flames of their feud grow ever higher, fans can only watch and wait for further details on their upcoming boxing match that will put an end to their years-long conflict.

KSI accidentally reveals that Behzinga was asked to be on Love Island – Dexerto
KSI accidentally reveals that Behzinga was asked to be on Love Island Love Island on ITV2 / GymsharkLove Island has become one of the most popular shows not only in the UK but worldwide, with multiple international variations across several countries entertaining millions of fans — and we may have almost ended up seeing Sidemen’s Ethan ‘Behzinga’ Payne on the show too. The Sidemen have become arguably one of the biggest influencer collectives on the planet. Hailing from the UK, they’ve managed to break boundaries and continuously exceed the expectations set of them. This is no more clear than in KSI’s success. While they’re all successful in their own right, KSI has become one of the biggest names on the internet, with major success in music and boxing as well as his YouTube career. So, looking to capitalize on these guys’ growing popularity, the Love Island producers apparently wanted fitness fanatic Behzinga to appear on the show. Behzinga has become a clear fan favorite, with his health and weight loss journey becoming a huge hallmark of his online persona — and this is clearly something that wasn’t lost on the Love Island creators. During a Sidemen Sunday video, the news came out with the boys enjoying a hot tub mukbang and Behzinga himself not in attendance for personal reasons. “If one of us went on Love Island, who would it be if we were all single?” asked Simon ‘Miniminter’ Minter, obviously not expecting any leaks. KSI, though, hadn’t thought that far ahead. “You know Ethan got asked?” he proclaimed to the group, before Simon said that he “wasn’t sure if they were allowed to say that.” Timestamp 1:11:07 Despite that, they all agreed that Behzinga would be the best fit for a show like Love Island, and that it would be “the best thing ever” if someone they knew went on the show. Love Island has actually been a great stepping stone for contestants to forge careers both online and on TV too. The current crop of Love Island UK members all have thriving TikTok accounts when they leave the villa, but for someone like Behzinga who’s already super popular, you’ve got to question how much it would help.

Whenever people want to find out the latest tea surrounding anyone and everything, the first place most check is Spill Sesh. Spill Sesh is known for videos that spill the tea and explain the rumors revolving around the biggest celebrities and influencers, from Selena Gomez to Austin McBroom. With nearly half a Billion views on YouTube alone, the channel has quickly gained stardom since its inception in 2018. That being said, there is rarely an instance when a channel or person doesn’t have haters. Now that she has revealed herself as the influencer expert behind the brand, Kristi is ready to face the noise and address a few things. When speaking with Kristi, she opened up to us in an exclusive interview about the critics surrounding the channel, as haters are usually the biggest downside to fame. “I’d say that the biggest stereotype is that I hate everyone I talk about and everyone hates me. I think that in this space there’s an understanding that comes along with it from influencers and celebs in a way because they do harness the press at times when they need it if they’re promoting something like a new song, an album, a new movie. Not everything is negative but sometimes it’s seen that way,” she explained to us. In fact, the YouTube reporter says that she has never experienced negative feedback from the subjects of the videos themselves. She explained, “I’ve certainly had people reach out after covering them before, someone has thanked me before for the way I reported on their breakup. I’ve also had people try and defend themselves against accusations that have come out about them. But nothing has ever gotten “nasty.”

KristoferYee claims Artesian Builds purposely throttled PC performance – Dexerto
KristoferYee claims Artesian Builds purposely throttled PC performance YouTube: KristoferYeeTwitch streamer and tech-focused YouTuber KristoferYee has claimed that Artesian Builds purposely throttled PC performance after allegedly finding multiple computers from them with underclocked graphics cards. On March 1, PC building company Artesian Builds came under fire after Twitch streamer Kiapiaa posted clips on Twitter of the company’s CEO, Noah Katz, roasting her stream stats and refusing to give her the computer that she had just won. As the situation began gaining traction on social media, Mizkif and Asmongold’s organization ‘OTK’ revealed they were separating from the company while YouTuber Onepegmg revealed the company hadn’t paid their taxes and can’t do business in California. Now, Tech-focused YouTuber KristoferYee claims that Artesian Builds purposely throttled PC performance after allegedly finding computers from them with underclocked parts. Artesian Builds PC performance During his March 2 Twitch stream, KristoferYee spoke to his viewers regarding the recent situation with Artesian Builds, claiming that he has heard a lot of complaints about the companies computers overheating. “You know what they did to combat their overheating problems?” he asked. “One of the content creators who asked me to take a look at their Artesian Builds PC said they weren’t getting the performance they should be getting out of their computer. “We took a look at everything on her computer and realized there was some type of EVGA software on there that I hadn’t seen before.” He went on to reveal that the EVGA software included on the PC was the company’s overclocking software — and he found that the graphics card was throttled by 10% to combat the overheating issue. This underclock was allegedly done without the creator’s approval and would have been the reason they weren’t getting full performance from their computer. KristoferYee also uploaded a video onto his YouTube channel regarding the situation with information regarding his own personal experiences with Noah Katz and Artesian Builds. In the video, he reveals that he doesn’t like how Katz talked about the ambassadors — echoing similar comments made by NICKMERCS. Kristofer also reveals a few interactions that other creators have had with the company, with some of them stating that they are afraid of repercussions.

Kourtney Kardashian unfollows Charli D’Amelio on Instagram after Landon Barker breakup – Dexerto
Kourtney Kardashian unfollows Charli D’Amelio on Instagram after Landon Barker breakup Instagram: kourtneykardash, charlidamelioAfter years of supporting each other, Kourtney Kardashian unfollowed TikTok star Charli D’Amelio on Instagram, sparking theories from fans as to why she seemingly decided to give Charli the boot. On April 25, Instagram account ‘teatotalk’ reported that reality star Kourtney Kardashian unfollowed TikToker Charli D’Amelio on Instagram. Kourtney and Charli’s friendship can be traced back to 2022 when Charli dated Landon Barker, son of Kourntey’s husband, Travis Barker. In July 2023, Charli even appeared on Kourtney’s family’s hit show on Hulu, The Kardashians. Despite Charli and Landon breaking up in February of this year, Charli and Kourntey shared their support for each other during the couple’s relationship. When Charli won Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars, Kourtney and Travis were in the live crowd to cheer her on throughout her journey. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight after a DWTS performance, Charli even referred to them as her “friends and family.” And in September 2023, when Kourtney had fetal surgery, Charli caught up with People where she expressed her happiness for Kourtney and Travis. “I’m so excited for them. I think everyone is just happy to see them happy,” she said. Though Kourtney and Charli seem to be on the outs with each other, it is unknown at this time why Kourtney unfollowed Charli on Instagram. However, fans of the two have their speculations. “I mean personally, I don’t want my stepmom following my ex,” one fan wrote, as Charli and Landon broke up earlier this year. Many others agreed that the unfollow was prompted by Charli and Landon parting ways. “Not surprised,” said one. “Well everyone saw that coming,” agreed another. Charli isn’t the only famous TikToker whom Kourtney can be linked back to. In 2020, Kourtney and Addison Rae began their viral friendship after Kourntey’s son Mason Disick expressed his affinity for her TikTok videos. The two grew close quickly, as Addison was featured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2021. They became so close, that fans started to speculate that they were a couple. Kourtney also featured in a cameo for Netflix’s ‘He’s All That,’ a 2021 film that Addison starred in. Though Kourtney and Addison appear to still be friends, at this time, it seems as if Kourtney doesn’t want anything to do with Charli. However, Charli still follows Kourtney on Instagram. Only time will tell if she responds to the reality star’s decision to give her the ax.

Kourtney Kardashian denies claims her friends have group chat without her – Dexerto
Kourtney Kardashian denies claims her friends have group chat without her Instagram: kourtneykardashKourtney Kardashian has dished out the tea, revealing just who is in the exclusive group chat that Kim Kardashian said friends and family made without her. The Kardashians are beefing, with the latest season opening up to a fight between two of the sisters, Kim and Kourtney. Heated words were exchanged between the pair during a “brutal” phone call, with Kim announcing the existence of a group chat made up of friends and family called “Not Kourtney.” The group chat’s alleged purpose is to “figure out why [Kourtney is] such a different person,” but viewers of the show were quick to call out that the exclusion felt “mean” and “manipulative.” With fans rushing to find out who made the exclusive chat, Kourtney has now revealed a list of supposed names — and her friends aren’t among the offenders. Kourtney posted on her Instagram stories a screenshot of her friends discussing Kim’s comments, with one stating that there was “not one actual friend on the chat.” “[Oh my god] please! These trolls keep DM’ing me accusing me of being on the other chat,” one said. Another responded, “If only they knew our anxiety about meaningless endless chit-chat.” And if there was any doubt about whether or not Kourtney was acquitting her friends of guilt, she continued to set the record straight in her comment section. Under a celebration of Kourtney and Travis Barker’s first child, a fan asked whether the friends in the picture were those in the group chat. Kourtney responded with, “No, the members of that chat are namely Kim, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie. Case closed.” However, not everyone believes this is enough evidence to absolve the friends of guilt, with some pointing out that Kim’s words may have been misunderstood. “Kim never once said that the friends are in a group chat,” one person wrote on Twitter. “She said that the friends call Kourtney’s siblings to talk about Kourtney and that the siblings are in a group chat to try and go through what’s being told to them because they are often confused.” It remains to be seen what the truth really is, though we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Kourtney Kardashian slams TikTok backlash over Addison Rae friendship – Dexerto
Kourtney Kardashian slams TikTok backlash over Addison Rae friendship YouTube: Addison Rae[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]TikTok star Addison Rae and A-list celeb Kourtney Kardashian are raising eyebrows across the net due to the unlikely friendship they’ve struck up during quarantine, causing some fans to express their concern on social media. 19-year-old Addison Rae is one of TikTok’s most popular content creators, boasting over 61 million followers on the viral video app — but it seems the starlet is gaining an even bigger celebrity status after making friends in high places. Rae and 41-year-old Kourtney Kardashian collaborated together on an at-home glute workout over Zoom in May, sparking a fairly substantial friendship for the two ever since. However, what once seemed like a simple collaboration has now become a point of contention for critics, who are taking issue with the duo’s camaraderie after they posed together in a swimming pool for what many felt was an overly-sensual photoshoot. In fact, it seems like Rae hangs out with Kourtney and the Kardashian clan quite often, leading to a slew of backlash from concerned fans as to why an older woman is so close to a teenaged TikTok sensation. While neither party spoke up about the issue for some time, it seems that Kourtney is well aware of the division surrounding her friendship with Rae, as evidenced by her snarky reply to one critic on Instagram in September — months after her initial collab with the TikToker. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZqUAtJrez/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “This friendship still weirds me tf out,” one user wrote of the situation. “For real,” another replied. “She’s 41 and she’s hanging out with 19-year-olds in swimming pools.” Luckily, Kourtney had the perfect response for the two critics, writing in a response to their convo: “Do you suggest a better place? I’m looking for ideas…” According to Addison, her friendship with Kourtney began after she visited her home for a surprise meet-and-greet for her son (and avid Addison Rae fan), Mason, leading to the somewhat unconventional relationship they’ve sparked today. Some are even jokingly calling Rae an “honorary Kardashian” — and although we’re not positive how legitimate that claim is, there’s no denying that some on the net just aren’t sure how to feel about her companionship with 41-year-old Kourtney.

Korean Twitch streamer gets caught dancing for chat during her work shift HAchubby, Twitch / Yanalya, FreepikPopular Korean Twitch streamer ‘HAchubby’ has made quite an impression on the internet, thanks to her over-the-top reactions and the unexpected moments that crop up during her broadcasts – one of which took place during her work shift. HAchubby isn’t just a Twitch streamer – she also works part-time at a convenience store, where she occasionally streams her shifts for her audience. It was during one of these streams that she had a surprise encounter with a customer, while she was engrossed in entertaining her viewers. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-T2lOgk3k/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkIn keeping with her bubbly personality, HAchubby was dancing away in front of the camera, playfully flipping her colorful hair and mockingly asking her audience if they wanted to buy a cigarette when she was interrupted by a customer walking into the establishment. HAchubby quickly turned back to the counter, obviously deflated out of embarrassment, giving the camera a knowing look before covering her mouth to stifle her laughter. While the customer came and left without saying a word, that wasn’t the only time she’s been caught talking to her viewers on stream; HAchubby was similarly interrupted while she was showing off her favorite snacks during a seemingly boring moment in her shift. Viewers can hear another customer walking inside the convenience store, prompting her to quickly halt her showcase of the victuals and make her way toward the counter. HAchubby made waves across Twitch in early June, thanks to her hilarious impressions of popular streamer Dr Disrespect, who was banned from the platform on June 11 after broadcasting inside of a public bathroom during E3 2019. HAchubby’s renditions of the Doc’s “YAYAYA” and “Raul” lines quickly escalated her to minor fame on the platform, leading to her first IRL stream sniper – an encounter that she didn’t seem to believe was really happening, as evidenced by her shocked reaction to being recognized in public. She isn’t the only Twitch streamer who broadcasts her part-time shifts, either; streamer Tosuni1 likewise vlogs her work experiences, sometimes creating Q & A videos during dead time at the convenience store. HAchubby is quickly growing more and more popular, currently sitting at over 18,000 followers as of June 14.

Korean Twitch streamer freaks out after scratching $1.5M lotto ticket – Dexerto
Korean Twitch streamer freaks out after scratching $1.5M lotto ticket Twitch/ruruflowerA South Korean Twitch streamer hit the jackpot by winning a whopping 2 billion of local currency during a live broadcast, worth $1.5 million. The gambling meta on Twitch has proven to be popular, albeit controversial. Streamers such as xQc and Trainwreck have won and lost millions in gambling, resulting in backlash from others on the platform. While slots have become even more popular than Warzone in recent months, there are plenty of ways to gamble on stream, including scratching away at a good old lotto ticket. When streamer ‘ruruflower’ tried her luck at the lottery, she was left absolutely flabbergasted when she not only won, she won big. Korean Twitch streamer just won $1.5 million on a scratch off ticket while streaming pic.twitter.com/l9NuFrNFVd — Dexerto (@Dexerto) July 13, 2022 Streamer wins the lottery live on Twitch In a clip going viral on the platform, a teary-eyed ‘ruruflower’ absolutely freaked out when she showed her viewers the ticket she had just scratched. According to a translation by Korean website Top Star News, the ecstatic streamer was broadcasting from her flower shop when she won the life-changing money. “Look at this. What should I do? It’s crazy,” she said. “There were many times when I didn’t get a single donation a day, but it was fun, so I’ve been broadcasting 10 hours a day.” The clip has been viewed over 100,000 times so far, partly due to its popularity on the LiveStreamFail subreddit. While some users wondered if it was smart of her to show the ticket on stream out of fear someone might steal her winnings, the fact she’s receiving so much media attention should prevent a thief from cashing out her $1.5M. It’s not clear what she plans on spending the money on, but given today’s economy, at least she might be able to afford half a tank of gas.

Korean TikTok star Won Joeng arrested on sexual assault charges – report YouTube: ox_zungA Korean TikTok star and YouTuber, Seo Won Joeng, also known as ox_zung or Mama Boy, is facing sexual assault charges, according to reports in Korea. SBS in Korea reports that a TikTok star in his 20s had been arrested for the sexual assault of an intoxicated woman, with another man also allegedly involved in the incident. As well as being a popular influencer online, Joeng has also appeared in Korean-language TV shows. It is alleged that the incident took place in July, and his arrest is the reason behind his sudden absence from social media since then. His last upload was on July 22, 2023. Joeng, who goes by Ox Zung on his social accounts, and is often called ‘Mama Boy’ for his repeated use of the word mama in his videos, has over 10 million YouTube subscribers, and 55 million followers on TikTok. He is the 17th most-followed TikToker in the world. TikTok Mama Boy reportedly arrested and charged Joeng and another man now stand accused of intoxicating a woman to the point of unconsciousness, before transporting her to a friend’s home, “where they sexually assaulted her until she regained consciousness.” On December 12, police questioned two men, arresting and charging them with rape. Korean police have not officially named either of the men, but news outlets report he is currently in custody. A news report tried to obscure Joeng’s appearance by using a blurred image, but fans were quick to confirm it was him. Police in Seoul have now sent the case to prosecution, with Joeng reportedly facing up to seven years if found guilty of sexual assault. A charge of illegal filming was dropped due to insufficient evidence. Management for Won Joeng did not respond to a request for comment.

Korean Twitch streamer banned after Fortnite pro Ronaldo calls out her content – Dexerto
Korean Twitch streamer banned after Fortnite pro Ronaldo calls out her content Twitch: StableRonaldo / AingchuuKorean streamer Aingchuu has been suspended from the Twitch platform, a matter of days after popular Fortnite pro and NRG member Ronaldo highlighted her content on social media. There has been increased scrutiny on the type of content permitted on Twitch in 2021, particularly due to the rise of ‘hot tub’ streams. This has reignited the debate around what is appropriate for the livestreaming platform, which was originally focused on gaming, but the most popular category now is ‘Just Chatting’. Twitch lays out fairly specific rules for sexual content, but says it always takes context into consideration. In this case, Aingchuu’s channel has faced a suspension for an unknown period of time, as her streams exclusively focused on her bust. Her face was never revealed during streams. On May 12, NRG’s Ronaldo posted a clip from his stream where he brought up Aingchuu’s stream, asking “how is this allowed?” https://twitter.com/StableRonaldo/status/1392553536878166022 Twitch’s community guidelines state: “Content or camera focus on breasts, buttocks, or pelvic region, including poses that deliberately highlight these elements” is not permitted on the platform. Read More: Sinatraa responds to Valorant suspension – However, it’s not confirmed what the exact cause of Aingchuu’s ban was. It’s also possible that it was due to the alleged use of viewbots. On Twitter, Aingchuu denied using viewbots, saying: “I never use viewbots and there is no reason to even use them. The reason why my viewership surged was because I started webcam live in November of last year, and it was attracting attention to the extent that it appeared as a news article” This alleged viewbot use was apparently the reason that Aingchuu was denied her partner application. https://twitter.com/Aingchuu1/status/1390277425670492165 As of May 18, Aingchuu’s channel is no longer available on the platform. The streamer has reached out to Twitch Support publicly, claiming that her messages “are treated as spam and are marked as resolved immediately upon delivery.” https://twitter.com/Aingchuu1/status/1394659688839479300 Twitch does not comment on community guidelines violations to respect the privacy of users.

Korean streamer’s threat shocks English-speaking trolls – Dexerto
Korean streamer’s threat shocks English-speaking trolls jamminim, Instagram / Max PixelLike many internet platforms, popular live streaming site Twitch is no stranger to toxicity, with trolls known for spamming emotes and copypastas in chat – but one streamer has had enough of the trolling, and made sure to express her feelings in a hilarious rant. No matter their popularity, many Twitch streamers fall victim to toxic chat groups, with some even lashing out in heated tirades due to the spam: and one Korean streamer was not exempt from this trend. Korean Twitch streamer ‘jammi95’ was in the middle of a broadcast on July 2 when her chat was similarly invaded by English-speaking trolls, who spammed her live chat with such quips as “Suck Turkish ice cream,” “TURKISH,” and “Speak English.” Korean Twitch streamer ‘jammi95’ went on a hilarious tirade, after her chat was spammed by English-speaking trolls. Despite her adorable image on Twitch and Instagram, jammi wasn’t going to let the spam slide, going on a hilarious rant against the trolls. “F*ck you!” she yelled, throwing up a middle finger at the offenders. “You’re very crazy. You… [inintelligble] sh*t f*ck! Get out of my channel! …f*ck your life, your head, your wife, your future!” she continued, tearing up pieces of tissue paper as she spoke. She went on to make a humorous threat toward the trolls, motioning with her hands as though she were cutting off their collective genitalia with a pair of scissors, saying, “Your pingur… cutting. You want pingur, cutting?” Despite her side-splitting tirade, she later issued a humorous apology to her viewers, promising that she would learn English in the future and that reassuring fans that she “loves” other countries. This wouldn’t be the first time a streamer has lost their cool over spam, by far: popular streamer HasanAbi likewise lashed out at trolls after his chat was spammed with a wave of “cmonBruh” and “TriHard” emotes, in response to him saying the word “Nicaragua.” In fact, Hasan even banned the emote outright, claiming that the trolls were using it in a racist manner – a sentiment that has been echoed by many internet users, who attribute their use to casual racism. While tensions weren’t as high in jammi’s stream, she made sure to give them a warning they wouldn’t forget any time soon – proving that she’s not a streamer to be taken lightly.

Korean streamer tries her cat food for viewers with surprising result – Dexerto
Korean streamer tries her cat food for viewers with surprising result Jinnytty, TwitchPopular Korean streamer “Jinnytty” dared herself to eat cat food during her February 15 Twitch stream and shocked many viewers after admitting she was quite surprised by the results. Some streamers have been seen to go to great lengths to entertain viewers by taking on tasks such as ridiculous challenges suggested by their viewers. IRL Twitch streamer Jinnytty is the latest to challenge themselves during her February 15 broadcast, after deciding she was going to attempt to eat some of her cat’s food. Jinny said that she was first inspired to give her pet’s meal a try when she saw a veterinarian take on the task without much discomfort. When she had squeezed some of the food out on a spoon and committed to trying it out, she explained that she started to have her doubts about the challenge. “This is a stupid idea, I thought it would be a good idea because I saw some cat doctor was actually eating this and saying this is quite delicious.” That’s the reason I wanted to try it, but now that I smell it I don’t think this is a good idea.” she said, laughing to herself before finally tasting it. “Hmm it’s good, It tastes like fish, just a normal fish,” before trying it again and claiming it was similar to tuna. Although she admitted to enjoying the fish-flavored cat food, the popular streamer had no intention of adding it to her diet and tucked into a proper meal she had prepared shortly after. Surprisingly there have been many other Twitch streamers, such as HAchubby, who have, similarly, tried their pets’ food in the past without any problems – although not everyone enjoys it.

Korean streamer stunned by IRL Twitch donation from fan – Dexerto
Korean streamer stunned by IRL Twitch donation from fan Instagram: @kiaraakitty / UnsplashKorean Twitch streamer ‘kiaraakitty’ was left in a state of shock when her broadcast was stream-sniped by a fan who literally gave her a donation IRL. Twitch personalities thrive off the relationship between themselves and their audience, particularly when viewers give them money during a live broadcast, often in the hopes of being acknowledged by the streamer. However, one fan took donations to a whole new level when the Korean streamer was in the middle of an IRL broadcast, and he showed up to hand her his donation in person. IRL Twitch donation Kiraakitty was streaming around a city and stopped to watch a street artist do an impersonation of Michael Jackson. While she was watching a performance of the hit song ‘Billy Jean’, a man rode up to her on a bike from out of nowhere. “Hey, I have a donation!” the stranger on the bike stated as he rolled up to the streamer. The Korean personality was shocked by the exchange and exclaimed “What!?” in disbelief. “I love what you do. You’re awesome!” the fan said, handing her a wad of cash. Kiaraakitty then asked the fan what his name was. “I am Bike Andy. I am bicycle Andy,” he replied simply, before taking off down the road not saying another word. The Korean streamer then called out after her viewer. “Bicycle Andy, wait!” she shouted, but it was too late. In a state of shock she said “What?” repeatedly before she exclaimed sadly “I would like to talk with him.” The moment was surreal as the donation came and went, actually mimicking the way digital donations usually work on stream. The Korean streamer was left stunned by the surprise exchange. This isn’t the first time an IRL Twitch stream has been crashed by a viewer. While visiting Japan, streamer Trevor ‘Hitch’ Daneliuk was walking down the road during his May 11 broadcast when a car pulled up beside him and handed him food and poured him coffee, also making for a surreal moment. IRL streams are exciting, as the unpredictable nature of the real world can make for some insane situations during a broadcast. But moments like these show that interactions can actually be wholesome. As of the time of this article, kiaraakitty has over 50k followers on Twitch, and her IRL streams continue to bring in a growing audience every day.

Korean streamer brought to tears after reaching huge donation goal – Dexerto
Korean streamer brought to tears after reaching huge donation goal Korean Twitch streamer ‘HAchubby‘ had an incredible wholesome reaction to her viewers raising enough money to send her to the United States. HAchubby is one of Korea’s most popular IRL streamers, doing everything from sitting at home and trying to impersonate Dr Disrespect to even dancing for viewers during a shift at work. As she’s cultivated a loyal viewer base, those fans who tune in on a daily basis took their opportunity to help HAchubby reach a long-time goal and leave her questioning whether or not what she was experiencing was actually real. 600During her August 10 broadcast, the IRL streamer had set a goal of $7,000 to get her from Korea to the United States for Twitchcon and a trip to New York. Of course, donations filtered in and slowly helped her progress towards the target. Yet, her viewers did not slow down – instead, they challenged each other to help HAchubby reach her final target with whatever donation they could make. As she closed in on the goal amount, the streamer became overwhelmed with emotions and began crying as well as doing her best to thank the fans. Of course, the viewer donations weren’t finished after they hit the $7,000 goal, as they continued on. This left HAchubby even more thankful for their help as she tried to thank them but couldn’t believe what was happening. “I really go,” she said between gasps. “I really go, this is real. This is real, I really go to TwitchCon. I can’t believe it, oh my god.” As the donations continued to pour in, the streamer had to take a step back to try and process what was happening, before needing to sit down. In total, HAchubby’s fans raised more than $7,350 before she closed donations as money continued to pour despite meeting the goal. Considering she’ll be heading to TwitchCon at the end of September, fans will likely get the chance to meet their favorite IRL streamer as she heads to San Diego. Who knows, she might have even more adorable reactions to being greeted by support.

Korean streamer scared after rude stranger shouts at her in San Francisco – Dexerto
Korean streamer scared after rude stranger shouts at her in San Francisco yugwha0901/TwitchPopular Korean Twitch streamer ‘yugwha0901’ was caught off-guard while visiting San Francisco when an angry passerby yelled at her and even followed her during a recent broadcast. Big Twitch streamers often share their travels with viewers around the world as they IRL stream on holiday, and yugwha0901, along with her traveling companion Jinny, have already streamed parts of their eventful trip visiting San Francisco. The pair were already confronted by an angry homeless man while walking down the street earlier in their trip, which has apparently turned into a running theme for these streams. While yugwha was walking down the street, a random pedestrian yelled something the stream didn’t quite pick up at her, causing the Korean broadcaster to quickly try and put some distance between herself and the person. “Why are people so aggressive here?” yugwha asked her chat as she hurried across the street and checked to make sure the guy who yelled wasn’t still behind her. Luckily, the person wasn’t following her, and the streamer made it away safely – but it was yet another bizarre incident during a trip that’s already seen plenty of them. After safely making her clean getaway, yugwha filled her chat in on what exactly the random dude had said to her, and what happened afterwards. “What did they say? ‘What the f*ck are you blah blah b*tch,’ something like that,” the streamer told viewers. “Usually, if they say something bad they don’t follow, but here they follow me. That’s a little scary. “ She claimed that getting yelled at by a random stranger is usually something she is able to just brush off, but San Francisco has been a different story so far. “Saying random things, I can get over that,” the Korean admitted. “But if they follow after me that sounds really scary, you know?” We don’t know how much longer exactly yugwha plans on staying in SF, but hopefully the rest of her trip doesn’t involve anymore random confrontations on the street.

Korean streamer “scared” after being hit on by drunk tourist at work – Dexerto
Korean streamer “scared” after being hit on by drunk tourist at work Hachubby, Twitch / FreepikThanks to the advent of IRL streaming, netizens are free to broadcast their daily lives for all to see – but some of these broadcasts can capture awkward, uncomfortable, and even downright frightening moments as they happen in real time. One such frightening moment occurred during the livestream of Korean Twitch streamer “Hachubby,” who sometimes broadcasts her part-time shifts at a convenience store. While her workdays are often filled with hilarious hijinks (especially when she’s distracted by her chat), one customer put a damper on her usual cheery mood after shooting his shot with the streamer. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A7O18hOB5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe customer in question made his intentions very clear, complimenting Hachubby’s hair and calling her “beautiful” before taking his leave – but he wasn’t done yet, and returned shortly thereafter to ask if she had a boyfriend. Read More: xQc roasts Ninja’s appearance on Family Feud – The streamer was obviously taken aback, claiming that she was in a relationship before the customer finally left, bringing an end to the uncomfortable interaction. Hachubby later admitted that she’d been frightened by the stranger, claiming that he appeared to be intoxicated and had even asked for her phone number – something that audiences couldn’t see, due to the customer being out of frame of the camera. “I’m scared,” she admitted through laughter, covering her face with her hands. “He wanted my phone number. So I said, ‘Sorry…’ [I’m a] liar, because I was scared. Sorry, I don’t have a boyfriend, but he looks drunk.” However, she later questioned if the whole interaction had been a joke, wondering if the overly-interested stranger hadn’t merely been a stream sniper hoping to crash her broadcast. Read More: Elon Musk explains the science of memes – She even showed her viewers that her hands were shaking out of fear, but assured them that she was calming down after he’d left – a welcome development to end such an awkward situation. While Hachubby has had some awkward experiences during her work shifts before – such as the time she got caught talking to chat about her favorite snacks when a customer walked in – this moment takes the cake, leaving her literally shaken up by the stranger’s intentions.

Korean streamer reveals bizarre expectations for potential boyfriends – Dexerto
Korean streamer reveals bizarre expectations for potential boyfriends Instagram/yyj0728Korean IRL Twitch streamer Jinny revealed her ideal relationship and what a potential boyfriend would need to do in order to prove he loves her. While in the backseat of a taxi on October 17, the popular entertainer was caught picking her nose on stream and grossed out some of her viewers. Clearly unfazed by her viewers’ reactions, Jinny started discussing that any potential suitors watching would need to be okay with picking her nose for her. 600“My ideal relationship is a boyfriend picking my nose,” Jinny said, confusing her friend in the back of the car with her. “You have a really amazing standard,” her friend replied. “You hear that, chat? You have to pick her nose if you want to be her boyfriend.” She then made a very interesting comparison, suggesting that picking her nose is similar to the fabled mythical sword of Excalibur – a blade stuck in stone that can only be pulled out and wield by a chosen one. “It’s kinda like this,” Jinny recalibrated her thoughts. “If he can pick my nose and not be grossed out, then he would love me forever.” Jinny then asked her friend what her ideal relationship would be and was greeted to a far more standard response after a few moments of thinking. “Maybe just a guy who does his best?” she replied, clearly not wanting to go down a similar path that Jinny had suggested. The Korean Twitch streamer certainly threw down the gauntlet when it comes to mate selection. While it’s likely that she was simply kidding about what she wants in a man, there’s no doubt that many on the platform will be trying to take her up on the offer. Despite the bizarre statement, whatever Jinny is doing on Twitch it’s working. According to the third-party stat site TwitchMetrics, her channel is the eighth most-watched English in the “Just Chatting” category. Since making an account in 2017, she has racked up over 175,000 followers.

Korean streamer roasts viewer for commenting on her bra – Dexerto
Korean streamer roasts viewer for commenting on her bra Instagram/yyj0728Korean Twitch streamer Jinny had to put a viewer in his or her place after making an insulting comment about her bra during an October 4 cooking stream. Early on into the stream, viewers were already making some bizarre comments after Jinny introduced her cats Simba and Kiki. “We are cooking the cats?” Jinny read from her chat. “No!” The odd viewer comments didn’t stop there, however, as shortly thereafter a viewer insulted the streamer’s bra and suggested she used padding. “Your bra has much padding like a life jacket – is it uncomfortable?” Twitch user Flybynite98 wrote. Not wanting to take the insult lying down, the Korean streamer quipped right back with an amazing comeback of her own. “Not as much as your d**k is padded,” she replied. “And I don’t have padding by the way. F**k you.” Jinny’s language shocked her stream but dismissed any concerns that she may have unfairly targeted the viewer. “What? He was being rude first,” she commented and went about with the rest of her cooking broadcast. Who is Jinny? According to the unofficial stat-tracking website Twitch Metrics, Jinny joined the platform in 2017 and is the 10th most-watched English “Just Chatting” channel and the 18th most-watched “Just Chatting” channel overall. In her time on Twitch she has amassed nearly 175,000 followers. Her channel info reads, “I like streaming outside, experiencing things but I also play games and make some interesting content”. During a stream back in September, Jinny boldly proclaimed she was nearly 40-years-old, not Korean and she was a self-proclaimed “MILF” with two children. This may have been a massive troll, however, as on her channel she states “I am Korean”. In any case, Jinny’s Twitch stream is proving to be one of the more entertaining “Just Chatting” channels and her interactions with chat for better or for worse are resulting in some growth.

Korean streamer leaves Twitch after ban, says she’s “lost all trust” – Dexerto
Korean streamer leaves Twitch after ban, says she’s “lost all trust” Popular Korean streamer ‘QueenMico’ has announced her move to a new livestreaming platform, AfreecaTV, after claiming she has “lost all trust” in Twitch Korea following multiple bans. QueenMico was one of the most popular Korean streamers on Twitch, and was usually found broadcasting in the ‘Just Chatting’ section where she would bring in thousands of viewers to watch her play games such as Just Dance on stream. The Korean streamer had amassed over 200,000 followers on the livestreaming site, when she was hit with her second Twitch ban on November 19 for reasons that she claims eluded her. After finding out that her channel was suspended from the platform, QueenMico vocalized her thoughts to her Instagram, with a post explaining: “I didn’t do anything wrong on stream but the channel was shut down once again.” “I don’t know what else I can do in this place where there’s a difference between Twitch’s headquarters and TwitchKorea’s opinion,” she expressed, apparently frustrated with the Moderation team’s ruling, “they can’t even give proper official opinions that everyone can understand.” This is not the first time QueenMico has encountered issues with the Amazon-owned platform, as the Korean streamer had previously claimed that she had not received any subscription or advertising payments from Twitch since earlier in the year. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dJFUIJzYm/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet “I haven’t received any subscription/bit/advertising proceeds since March,” she stated, revealing in a previous post that she got little explanation for the lack of payment. “They did not explain why it was impossible.” Despite apparently making her best efforts to get the issues resolved, the streamer announced that she would be moving platforms to stream on AfreecaTV after her latest ban, and expressed that she was willing to start from scratch on the new site. “Since my first notice after this latest ban I decided I would not continue streaming on Twitch, I’ve already lost all trust” QueenMico announced, “I will start from zero again, and I will work hard to show you all a more fun and improved side.” Many streamers have hit out at Twitch in the past for some of their unclear rulings, such as PaymoneyWubby’s recent skit about the site’s moderation team after receiving a ban for streaming in a restaurant – in his example, the issue was later reversed, allowing him to stream on the platform once again. However, in QueenMico’s case, she has decided to cut ties entirely and up sticks to a new streaming platform.

Korean streamer QueenMico banned from Twitch for second time – Dexerto
Korean streamer QueenMico banned from Twitch for second time Korean streamer QueenMico has, once again, been banned by Twitch but fans have been left in the dark as to why. So, here’s what we know. QueenMico is a popular Korean streamer on Twitch, who can usually be found in the Just Chatting section, where she’ll talk with her thousands of viewers or dance along to something like Just Dance. She currently has close to 210,000 followers on the livestreaming platform, but as of November 16, her fans have been left in the dark as to when she was next planning to go live and give them something to watch. However, that appears as if it could be some time away as the streamer’s channel has been struck down, again, by the Twitch banhammer without much warning. Fans of the streamer discovered that she had been suspended on Tuesday, November 19 when the TwitchBanned Twitter account confirmed the news in the early hours of the morning. Her channel was struck down for the second time in less than a month. Yet, while the account can sometimes give a notice about how long a streamer has been suspended for by Twitch, they didn’t have anything on QueenMico. Instead, it was just a normal post confirming that she had been banned. ❌ Twitch Partner “QueenMico” has been banned! ❌https://t.co/yAK2qniUoV#twitch #ban #secondban #partner #twitchpartner ? — Twitch Partner Bans (@TwitchBanned) November 19, 2019 While Twitch does not usually comment publicly on the specific reason why a streamer has been banned, they do reveal the reason, and suspension length, to the broadcaster in an email. In a lengthy Instagram post, QueenMico stated that she had been banned for three days, but was confused about the exact reasoning, while also claiming that she hasn’t received any money from Twitch subs since March. View this post on Instagram Her first post on the matter came as a part of an Instagram story on November 19, where she said that she would see fans on the stream soon. It remains to be seen as to exactly why QueenMico has been struck with a ban by Twitch this time around and if it’ll lead to any further problems down the line.

Korean streamer has unique way of wishing viewer a happy birthday – Dexerto
Korean streamer has unique way of wishing viewer a happy birthday A viewer in Korean Twitch streamer “bintokki’s” fanbase announced their birthday — so, naturally, she roped in some outside help to wish them well on their special day. While Twitch is often touted for the hilarious and unexpected moments that crop up during live broadcasts, not every moment is as wholesome as this one. Bintokki, known for her League of Legends and Just Chatting streams, interrupted one of her broadcasts with a surprising assist. One of her viewers announced that it was their birthday during a January 3 stream — prompting Bintokki to wish them a happy birthday. “It’s your birthday today?” she asked for confirmation — a question she followed up with a comparatively confusing query. “Should I tell my mom? It’s your birthday today? Okay, I’m gonna tell my mom.” The streamer rose from her chair and disappeared from view, audibly conversing with her mother in another room regarding the situation. She quickly reappeared to announce that her mom would help in congratulating the viewer on their special day, although she wasn’t keen on being on camera. “Just for you, man,” Bintokki announced. “Happy birthday. Are you ready, mom?” “Happy birthday!” her mom shouted, out of frame. She even went on to sing the birthday song, throwing in a few “hey, hey, hey’s!” in for good measure — prompting an outburst of laughter from her daughter. Bintokki’s special birthday message marks the latest instance of moms appearing on Twitch, which have ranged from incredibly wholesome interactions to downright embarrassing moments, as in the case of streamer “goblincub,” who got exposed by her mother for not taking her studies at college very seriously after she seemed to boast about saving money. Even streamer “Grahamalot‘s” mom got in a humorous jab, telling a hilarious childhood story about her son that involved his bathroom habits (thanks, mom). No matter the case, it’s safe to say that parents always make for an interesting broadcast — for better or for worse!

Korean streamer Jinny confronted by angry homeless man in San Francisco – Dexerto
Korean streamer Jinny confronted by angry homeless man in San Francisco Twitch: jinnyttyPopular Korean Twitch streamer Jinny was caught off guard while visiting San Francisco as a frustrated homeless man confronted her during a recent broadcast. Big Twitch streamers often share their traveling adventures with viewers around the world as they IRL broadcast while on holiday. Visiting San Francisco, Korean streamer Jinny and her companion for the day ‘yugwha0901,’ decided to visit a local pier and take in the city. Early into their trip, however, the pair was caught off guard and left stunned by an angry passerby in the street as he stopped them in their tracks and confronted them mid-stream. Shortly after taking in the sights at sounds at Pier 39, a popular tourist attraction in San Francisco, the streamers headed off and continued about their day wandering the streets. Before they could get too far though, Jinny and yugwha were bluntly interrupted by an angered homeless man that walked right in between them, cut them off, and then shifted the blame as though the streamers were at fault. “Can you watch where the f*** you’re going bi***,” he said angrily, before turning around to face them. “See me walking here?” Why did you walk right in front of me? Are you stupid? Are you f***ing stupid?” he continued, steadily raising his voice and approaching the pair as they captured everything through their mobile streaming setups. Completely caught off guard by the interaction, Jinny’s draw dropped before turning into a smile and laughing off the odd encounter. “He’s following us” they both explained before picking up the pace and running away from the clearly agitated stranger. “Just run, don’t even react,” yugwha said. Despite the alarming confrontation, they managed to evade the aggressive individual and continue about their day in peace. Taking in the rest of Pier 39 and shortly enjoying a hearty bread bowl together, the duo didn’t let the homeless man ruin their day in the slightest. Jinny and yugwha are far from the only Twitch personalities to ever be confronted by angry strangers on the street, with many other streamers also having to deal with awkward confrontations while live-streaming their days. From frustrated bystanders that refuse to be filmed, to others more concerned by cigarette smoke, there’s seemingly never any shortage of awkward interactions in recent IRL streams.

Korean streamer HAchubby’s cooking stream fails in hilarious fashion – Dexerto
Korean streamer HAchubby’s cooking stream fails in hilarious fashion Korean streamer HAchubby couldn’t believe what she was tasting during her cooking stream after allowing her chat to guide her along the way. The Twitch personality, who has a channel with over 120,000 followers at the time of writing, is never scared to interact with her audience – previously promising to dress up in funny costumes for reaching subscriber milestones. However, during a broadcast on November 5 she decided to go one better by setting up a cooking stream. It became obvious pretty quickly that things weren’t exactly going to plan for her. It’s difficult to say just what HAchubby was looking to create during the stream, after adding all sorts of different ingredients to both a wok and a pan – presumably looking to bring it all together as a masterpiece at the end. One viewer cheekily compared her dark shaded noodles to friend shoe laces, before she started to add a ton of salt and other foods to the mix. The streamer seemed fine with everything, until she eventually gave it a try. After taking a few moments to work out what was wrong with the taste, HAchubby turned towards the camera and started to describe it. “Why sweet? Why? Sugar? No” she said, rummaging through the ingredients on the table near her. It took a few moments for her to realize something that her chat had been laughing about for a few minutes, though. She had added ice cream mix to the food instead of cream that would usually be poured into pasta – which would explain the strange, sweet taste that left her utterly perplexed. There’s no guarantee that HAchubby will host another one of these cooking streams any time soon, but she must have been expecting it to go down a bit better than it did. Her viewers lapped it up, nonetheless.

Korean IRL streamer harassed with NSFW rant by drunken stranger – Dexerto
Korean IRL streamer harassed with NSFW rant by drunken stranger Korean Twitch streamer ‘HAchubby‘ was IRL broadcasting on June 20 when she was unexpectedly bombarded with a NSFW rant from a drunk tourist. Streamer HAchubby made waves in the Twitch community recently with her hilarious Dr Disrespect impressions, and was even recognized in public by a stream sniper during one broadcast. Sadly, her latest encounter wasn’t so wholesome as a rendezvous with a random drunk tourist turned NSFW during her IRL stream. Drunk people do weird things The Korean streamer was walking around her city at night when she was approached by a couple of drunk tourists who were curious about her stream. The encounter was normal at first, with one of the men asking innocent questions about why she’s streaming, how much money she makes, and how she gets so many viewers. The situation was quick to turn NSFW, however, when he steered the conversation down a sexual route. “None of these people like you, they just think you’re sexy, they want to fuck you,” the stranger suddenly blurted out, pointing to her Twitch screen. “They want to fuck you.” HAchubby was speechless as the man continued his bizarre rant, “Yes, yes, yes, of course. Many people watch you, as sexy, of course, they want to fuck you, yes.” “No, they-” the female streamer starts to argue before he cuts her off. “They want to fuck you!” HAchubby was then sensible enough to run away from the drunk individual before the situation could get more out of hand. She wasn’t too bothered by it Luckily, HAchubby wasn’t phased by the man’s remarks for long, and later on in the stream she decided to lighten the mood by visiting some karaoke rooms. The streamer provided viewers with a comical rendition of Sia’s infamous ‘Chandelier’ song, belting the chorus out in hilarious fashion. HAchubby seems to be thoroughly enjoying her newfound Twitch popularity, and is always going above and beyond to entertain her fans. We can’t wait to see what she does next.

With English not being her first language, though, sometimes wires do get crossed. Yet, even when she tries to get around that hurdle with an online translator, things don’t go to plan either. 600During her October 25 stream, the popular Korean streamer had been out and about instead of the usual broadcasts from her home. She was chatting viewers in a slightly unusual way, however, using the voice of Google translate to communicate for her while explaining why she started streaming. Yet, the translation service doesn’t always translate with complete accuracy. “I really wanted to be friends with strippers,” said the computerized voice, leaving the streamer with a confused look on her face. After a quick change in words, the computer spoke again and finally got it right – leaving HAchubby laughing hysterically as her chat filled with laughter. Can’t see the clip below on mobile?

Korean Twitch streamer HAchubby narrowly avoids Avengers tourist scam – Dexerto
Korean Twitch streamer HAchubby narrowly avoids Avengers tourist scam Twitch: HAchubbyKorean Twitch streamer HAchubby was on a trip to New York City on October 4 when she ran into a group of Avengers cosplayers who could have been trying to bait unsuspecting tourists into a money scam. HAchubby left South Korea on her first trip to the United States at the end of September, where she visited TwitchCon 2019 and San Diego Zoo and tried her first American pizza, before rounding it off with a stay in New York City. While in the Big Apple, the Korean almost fell victim to a well-known scam among locals aimed specifically at tourists who are unaware that they’re being baited into giving up their money. HAchubby was almost scammed On October 4, the streamer was broadcasting live from the streets of NYC when she was approached by a man in a Captain America costume – the shielded hero from Marvel’s Avengers. Read More: STPeach confronts alleged stalker – “Where are you from?” he asked. “I’m Korean!” the pink-haired streamer answered, before the costumed stranger steered her into taking a photograph with him and a fellow cosplayer in a Spider-Man outfit. The pair were unaware that HAchubby was holding her phone out because she was livestreaming on Twitch, and posed for a picture instead as they threw up peace signs with their hands before greeting another stranger in a Hulk costume. The Korean’s chat was going wild with messages of “F*CK OFF” and “SCAM” – something that seemed to catch the streamer’s eye as she suddenly announced “Sorry, sorry, my friend, sorry, sorry!” and ran away as the cosplayers shouted after her. What was the scam? According to Fortune, the interaction with the costumed superheroes may well have been a classic scam aimed at tourists in order to bait them into giving away their money. The extortion is well-known amongst New Yorkers who stay well clear of people in character costumes, especially ones who ask for photographs, as some have been known to demand insane amounts of money for their time and turn the situation ugly if refused. While locals might be clued in on what goes on, the deception lies with unsuspecting visitors who have no idea that posing for a selfie is all a ruse to be shaken down for money.

Korean streamer HAchubby stunned by epic fan-made rap song – Dexerto
Korean streamer HAchubby stunned by epic fan-made rap song Popular Twitch streamer HAchubby was left stunned when a viewer sent her a special rap song full of references to memes, her viewers, and her stream. Twitch streamers are often sent wonderful and imaginative pieces of art from their viewers, eager to show off their talents in a way that the content creator can enjoy and cherish forever. Those who regularly tune into the Korean’s stream are well aware of her musical prowess, often wowing her audience with her skills on the piano, and one viewer decided that they were going to go the musical route too by sending her an epic rap song filled with references about her stream. Uploaded to Soundcloud by Skiverz and produced by Laykx, the song’s lyrics are made up of moments from HAchubby’s stream, including her stories about how at one point she intended to go on a diet, and her need to clarify that she is in fact not Japanese, but Korean. As soon as the track began, HAchubby covered her mouth in shock, clearly impressed with what she was hearing, before scrolling down to read the lyrics while she listened intently with her mouth wide open. You can listen to the full song below. After listening to the track in full, the streamer couldn’t hold back her excitement any longer, screaming in delight as she praised the rapper for his lyrics and the beat itself. “Oh my God,” she said, still stunned by the song, clapping her hands in appreciation. “Oh my God! What is that!?” “You’re perfect! How did you make this? Your rap is — oh my God — really professional! I like these beats! Genius rapper! You can join my rap academy!” HAchubby’s December 9 stream was full of hilarious moments, with the Korean attempting to show off her brand new green screen, but couldn’t quite get it to work as she posed in front of it. The streamer was clearly delighted with the track from her viewer though, so we may see even more songs sent in honor of her, and even more reactions from HAchubby.

Korean streamer HAchubby goes viral with exploding watermelon – Dexerto
Korean streamer HAchubby goes viral with exploding watermelon HAchubby Twitch[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]Twitch streamers ‘HAchubby’ and ‘Yuggie_TV’ tried their hand at the popular exploding watermelon challenge, but their attempt quickly went viral after a surprise twist prematurely ended the experiment. The concept of the stunt is straightforward: Continuously add a couple of rubber bands around a watermelon until their combined pressure manages to bend which eventually makes the fruit explode. It’s a fun activity to see a hard-shelled object like a typical watermelon to distort as you’re adding more bands to it. When the melon can’t take much more of the pressure, the experiment usually ends with an explosive conclusion. But that’s not exactly how HAchubby’s stream of the test went down. The pair of streamers equipped a couple of helmets with protective visors to protect against any potential projectiles that were surely going to emanate from their two test subjects. The hour-long attempt saw them enthusiastically put on the first few dozen, while going at the same pace to see which one popped out first. After a few moments of no visible changes, they started putting on the bands in small bundles to move along the process. Yuggie was filled with anticipation, even clamping hard on her melon to persuade it to explode, saying “stop stalling.” Prematurely proclaiming herself as the winner of the challenge, Yuggie enlisted HAchubby’s help with her melon, since they gave up on the simultaneous endeavor. With the two streamers tacking on more bands, Yuggi grew increasingly impatient. According to HAchubby, the pair used nearly 500 rubber bands, but there still wasn’t any reaction. Then, Yuggie can be seen bringing a knife from the background, since she was interested in “seeing how strong it is” by giving it a small chop. As soon as the blade etched itself near the top, the force of the 500 bands collapsed, sending bits of the fruit’s red flesh flying from the erupted cavity. The two streamers, a bit let down from the repetitive task of putting hundreds of bands on the fruit’s outer shell, were instantly brought back to life at the time of the explosion. The clean-up process of the experiment left the pair of friends with a ball of bands and a huge mess from the maimed melon. If you attempt to recreate the experiment, take the appropriate precautions and pack hundreds of rubber bands for the test.

Korean streamer HAchubby mocks “boomer” Jakenbake with archery bullseye – Dexerto
Korean streamer HAchubby mocks “boomer” Jakenbake with archery bullseye Popular Korean streamer, HAchubby, taunted fellow Twitch streamer, JakenbakeLIVE, after finessing a bullseye in archery. HAchubby’s transition into Western culture has been well-documented on her Twitch channel, which has snowballed in popularity throughout 2019. Having gained almost 140,000 followers since June, her channel is set to break through the 200,000 mark in the new year. The Korean’s demographic spans well past her native country, with plenty tuning in all around the world to appreciate her comedic antics. Given HAchubby’s new found stature within the Twitch community, she continues to provide unique content that her faithful following lap-up. While livestreaming her archery endeavours on November 26, she held steady embraced her inner Katniss Everdeen and landed her arrow straight into the heart of her target. Surprised at her feat, she exclaimed: “Oh my god!” and “thank you so much” while retrieving the arrow. Naturally, her Twitch chat responded in shock by spamming “POGU.” Given her newly found talents, which even Legolas would be proud of, the Korean was on cloud nine. Swagger in-hand, she raised the bar and subsequently taped a soda can to the target board. Walking back to her station, she uttered “boomer Jake” in response to Jakenbake, who attempted to mock HAchubby by pretending to shoot the target. After being on the receiving end of the Korean’s roast, Jake questioned: “Aren’t you like older? You turn 30 in two days,” to which she responded with a swift “no!” Of course, this was all playful banter between the two. However, with her Hawkeye–esque skills, perhaps she will be looking to transition that hand-eye coordination into the realm of gaming on Twitch. Nevertheless, her wholesome reaction underscores the exact reason as to why she has exploded in popularity throughout 2019.

Korean streamer HAchubby breaks phone as stranger gives her a fright – Dexerto
Korean streamer HAchubby breaks phone as stranger gives her a fright AngelsKimi, TwitchPopular Korean streamer HAchubby decided to take a trip to Knott’s Berry Farm in California alongside AngelsKimi, and while there were a lot of great things to see in the IRL stream, one prank in particular caught the eyes of viewers. If there’s one thing that you could say about the Twitch personality, who has over 160,000 followers on her channel, it’s that she likes to provide variety in her content – whether it be visiting zoos, playing video games like Minecraft, or just cooking at home. Featuring in AngelsKimi’s broadcast on January 23, the pair could be seen walking around the 57-acre theme park located in Buena Park, with one of the themed areas based on the Wild West. With a number of shows and stunts taking part across the course of the day, when they’re not working on that, the people that are involved can often be seen roaming around still in character – and clearly caught HAchubby by surprise when she was approached by one of them. They were both walking around in the area, with Kimi mentioning a restaurant that they might visit next, but nobody expected what was going to happen next as a guy dressed in wild west clothing screaming in their faces. HAchubby dropped her phone immediately and cupped her hands over ears, while her fellow streamer picked up the device that had fallen in the process. Moments later, the streamers saw the funny side of the situation – being frightened that is – but there had been some damage to HAchubby’s phone in the process. She moved it close to the screen so people tuning into the stream could see and it didn’t look great. “My camera is like this and I’m really angry,” she said, pointing towards the cracked corner of her smartphone. It just goes to show that while IRL streams can be really successful and interesting to watch, the unpredictability of venturing outside with a camera can also make for some embarrassing moments as well. Maybe next time she’ll be more alert, if she ever returns to this particular park.

Korean streamer goes off on stranger who tries to kick her dogs – Dexerto
Korean streamer goes off on stranger who tries to kick her dogs Yunicorn19, TwitchKorean Twitch streamer ‘Yunicorn19’ went off on a stranger after they tried to kick her dogs during her January 24 IRL stream. IRL streaming has become extremely popular over recent years but it is not without its risks, as many streamers have been put in tough spots due to the actions of random strangers. Korean Twitch streamer Yunicorn19 realized just how unpredictable people can be when she ran into someone who was apparently drunk during her late-night walk. As part of her January 24 IRL broadcast, the Twitch streamer decided to take her dogs for a walk around the streets amid celebrations of the Lunar New Year. Unfortunately for Yuni, while she was out walking she passed by a stranger who viewers believed to be drunk, and one of her dogs began to bark at him while they passed. Although there was quite a considerable distance between the man and the streamer, he still seemed to be upset by the dogs and looked to call her back to confront her. Viewers later translated the video and claimed that he had issued threats towards the streamer’s pets and was insulting her with vulgar language during the exchange. After approaching the streamer, the random stranger supposedly lashed out at the dogs and attempted to kick them. This led to Yunicorn19 approaching the man, attempting to get right up in his face to confront him before being restrained by her friend who was with her at the time. It appeared as if the dogs seemed to escape the situation without injury, thankfully, and many viewers applauded the streamer for her courage in confronting the stranger.

Korean streamer goes viral calling out “predatory” men on Twitch – Dexerto
Korean streamer goes viral calling out “predatory” men on Twitch Twitch: YoojinTwitch streamer Yoojin has gone viral on Twitter after posting a video discussing the “predatory” nature of some male viewers towards female streamers. Yoojin is a 23-year-old Korean student living in Los Angeles whose content normally revolves around Apex Legends and Valorant, streaming to almost 21,000 followers. In a video posted to Twitter, clipped from a recent stream, she explained how sometimes men will donate money to her, and then act as though they are entitled to having a conversation. She said, “I just wanna be the person that tells you guys how it is, so that you don’t delude yourselves and that you don’t waste your time…if you are in Twitch and you come into a girl’s stream and you think ‘oh her stream is still small I might have a chance’, you’re f***ed up. That’s a little bit predatory, not even a little bit, like, high-key predatory.” Yoojin continued to describe the incidents that might happen, explaining that it would normally begin with a gesture such as a donation. “It completely baffles my mind when guys are like… ‘Maybe I have a chance if I Tier 3 subbed her or if I donate $100 or if I donate 1000 bits.’ “‘I’m gonna Twitch whisper her…and then she’ll be like ‘thanks’ and then they’ll see the thanks and they’ll be like ‘oh my god she responded to me like we’re gonna have a conversation now’ and then they just keep spamming shit and then the girl doesn’t respond.” She went on to reveal that it would normally result in insults being thrown or a sense of entitlement, adding “They’re like ‘oh my god she’s such a b**** how could this happen to me… I called you cute like 5 days a row in chat like how could you do this to me.’ Bro, meet a girl IRL. Don’t come here!” https://twitter.com/yoojpls/status/1336147269888831489 The Tweet quickly blew up, with more than 25,000 likes at the time of writing, and several responses from other Twitch users backing up her point of view. One person agreed, “Spittin straight FACTS right here.” Yoojin expanded on her point in a thread underneath the original tweet after it gathered attention, adding that she understands men can experience “similar if not identical forms of discomfort through creepy/tactless approaches on Twitch.” The scenario she described was something she herself had experienced and witnessed and she said she hopes people don’t dismiss “the common phenomenon of cishet guys trying to take advantage of young girls streaming, with or without money.” Her final piece of advice was not to treat Twitch like a dating service and to instead be “upfront about your intentions.”

Korean streamer creates doppelganger of herself in Monster Hunter World – Dexerto
Korean streamer creates doppelganger of herself in Monster Hunter World Korean Twitch streamer ‘Lovelyyeon’ took her character customization to the next level, creating a perfect doppelganger of herself in Monster Hunter: World. Character customization has become a necessity in many of the new titles that have been released in recent years. In many games such as GTA V’s online mode, players are given the chance to alter their character whichever way they please, which can also result in some hilarious outcomes. Despite the massive amount of choice, many players often aim for their characters to share their resemblance, however, it is usually more difficult than they expect it to be. Before starting her Monster Hunter World playthrough, Twitch streamer ‘Lovelyyeon’ decided to spend quite a while on her character during her January 3 stream. To many viewers’ surprise, the Korean streamer only took half an hour to make the changes, matching the features of her character with her own and produced an almost identical mirror of herself in-game. Lovelyyeon highlighted the similarities by dragging her facecam above the image, after lowering the opacity, and shocking fans after it resulted in a near-perfect match. As many Monster Hunter World fans might know, once you load into the game the default settings usually hides your face in-game due to the character’s need for a helmet. However, it is possible to change some of the settings so that your head armor is invisible and unwilling to let her hard work go to waste, Lovelyyeon opted for exactly that. As you can customize your character to your own liking, it has also opened up the possibility for more unique takes on cosplaying the popular Monster Hunter World character with some incredibly detailed armor and weapons to go along with it.

Korean streamer criticizes Invadervie with mocking imitation – Dexerto
Korean streamer criticizes Invadervie with mocking imitation Invadervie, bubbly_live – TwitchTwitch star “Invadervie” is known for her popular “Just Chatting” streams, where she sits in front of the camera and banters with her audience — but this style of broadcasting drew an unexpected imitation from a fellow streamer. Invadervie skyrocketed to Twitch fame in 2019 during her first month on the platform, and has since become a major name in the online streaming world. The style of Vie’s broadcasts sees her lounging back on a cushion-filled chair, where she answers questions from her viewers and discusses various topics with them. However, Korean streamer “bubbly_live” seemed to take issue with the way she positioned her body in full view of the camera, and decided to imitate her pose as a means of poking fun at the broadcaster. “I gotta sit down like… I shouldn’t sit down like this,” she began, noting how Vie wasn’t sitting in a chair normally, but rather laid back against her cushions. “Maybe this is even better,” she continued, putting her feet up on her desk. That wasn’t the end of her imitation, either: bubbly went on to give a shallow wave with her foot, mocking the Vie’s conversations with her viewers as she pushed her chair backward. “Hi guys!” she greeted. “So… oh yeah, you wanna see my whole body? So, uh, send me more links!” Bubbly went on to scour Vie’s “about” section on her Twitch channel, apparently surprised at the streamer’s age (29) and past occupation as a Disney Princess actress for the franchise’s theme parks. “How do girls stream like this?” Bubbly asked as she browsed through Invadervie’s Instagram feed. “…that’s how you be famous on Twitch. D*mn. If I had the thighs, guys. …it’s probably f**king photoshopped.” This wouldn’t be the first time another female broadcaster offered their take on Invadervie, either: Twitch star “Pokimane” likewise commented on the streamer’s heated rant against a rude viewer, claiming that the fan who’d made a comment about “Twitch thots” “does not give a sh*t.” Whether you love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Invadervie continues to exist as one of Twitch’s top entertainers, thanks to the slew of unique moments that crop up during her broadcasts.

Korean streamer banned after crazy fight during Twitch broadcast – Dexerto
Korean streamer banned after crazy fight during Twitch broadcast A Korean Twitch streamer has been banned after a violent altercation with another man during a livestream on September 27, leaving one of the men badly beaten. Streaming on the Amazon-owned platform, the two men seemed friendly at first, although highly intoxicated. The channel, Jangfolk1, has since been suspended from the website, but footage of the incident circulated widely before it was removed from the platform. In the minutes leading up to the fight, the men laugh and joke together, and both appear to sign a piece of paper, which some Korean viewers have said was an agreement not to sue one another for the ensuing brawl. The man in the blue shirt, believed to be the guest of the stream, is apparently mocking the man in the Twitch shirt for being a small streamer, and the pair agree to fight over the issue. The first man slams the streamer into the desk, which breaks immediately under their weight, before the streamer manages to regain the upper hand. In another, more violent clip, the man in the blue shirt is dragged by his hair and kicked and kneed to the head repeatedly by the man in the Twitch shirt. Eventually, the men grew tired and stopped, with the man in the blue shirt badly beaten, his face bloody and bruised. They then sat back up at the desk together, revealing the extent of the inuries. Police were apparently later called to the residence and the beaten man received medical attention, according to viewers of the stream. The Twitch channel was quickly banned from the platform, and given the severity of the attack, it will likely be a permanent suspension. It’s unknown if charges were brought against either individual involved.

Twitch streamer brings anime body pillow “boyfriend” on hilarious coffee date – Dexerto
Twitch streamer brings anime body pillow “boyfriend” on hilarious coffee date IRL Twitch streamer Yugwha entertained her stream by taking her body pillow ‘boyfriend’ to a cafe where things went from strange to bizarrely entertaining. After doing a dance outside of a cafe while wearing a D.va-themed Overwatch hoodie, the streamer headed inside where her anime body pillow ‘boyfriend’ was waiting for her. Once she sat down, the broadcaster grabbed the pillow and told it to take a seat on a chair next to her while placing it in position. “It’s my boyfriend,” Yugwha explained. “He’s really strong. He has two powers. Usually, a hero has only one power, right? But he has eyes and fire power. That’s why I like him. Half and half. PogChamp.” However, despite having some sort of ‘fire power’, Yugwha went on to say that he dislikes hot things such as coffee. “He likes ice coffee, icecream, and something really icy.” While it’s unclear if the streamer was making up a backstory on the fly or had her body pillow boyfriend’s plot figured out previously, she continued to explain his history. According to Yugwha, the pillow’s father “is an a**hole” who traumatized him, turning him off hot things… for some reason. Eventually, she decided her pillow was thirsty and started pouring ice coffee “down its mouth” causing a stain. “He’s thirsty too,” she insisted and joked that her pillow could feel thirst. “I’m not a weeb, chat. This is more than life.” Eventually, the streamer threw her trash away and walked with her body pillow boyfriend out of the cafe, surprisingly leaving the table she was sitting at relatively clean despite the mess she appeared to make earlier. Yugwha’s Twitch journey began in July of 2018 according to the third-party site TwitchMetrics and is the 42nd most-watched Just Chatting stream. Thus far, the streamer has just over 34,000 followers. That number could very well sky-rocket if her body pillow boyfriend adventures continue to be so entertaining.

Korean streamer has awkward experience with neighbors at ‘love hotel’ – Dexerto
Korean streamer has awkward experience with neighbors at ‘love hotel’ A popular Korean Twitch streamer was in for a bizarre experience after getting unpacked at a hotel. In the now-deleted Twitch clip, Yunicorn19 appeared to be unpacking her luggage and hanging up a dress when she started hearing “noises” coming from the other room. Surprisingly, the streamer was shocked to hear lovemaking at a ‘love hotel’ and looked at her camera in disbelief as the noises penetrated her ears. 600“S**t,” she swore. “Close your door, dude. I can hear you.” However, as the “sounds” continued, Yunicorn19 grew impatient as seen from her body language and a roll of the eyes. “S**t. F**k. Just kill me, dude,” she appeared to say before finally hanging up her dress. Unfortunately, that was when the clip ended. There’s no way of telling what happened next as the vod where the clip was from was also deleted, most likely by Yunicorn to dodge a potential ban or suspension by Twitch. That said, a clip from what appears to be from later on in the night is still on Yunicorn’s channel. In it, the Korean IRL streamer is getting ready to go out, but she can hear the man from the other room sneeze loudly. “Good night,” she jokingly said. “Bless you.” Overall, the room wasn’t anything fancy and appeared slightly sketchy with green and eggshell white walls, a standard plug-in fan and beaming lights. On the wall were the words “Joy Motel”, suggesting that this was the name of the hotel Yunicorn19 was staying at. YouTuber Patmax Adventures summarized why “love hotels” exist in South Korea during a trip to visit one for himself. “Sex is still a real taboo,” he said. “A lot of young people still live at home with their parents so these kind of places give them a place to have some time alone. Or if you’re just trying to meet someone they make it easy.” It’s unclear why Yunicorn was staying at one of these hotels, but it made for one interesting experience to say the least.

Korean streamer’s awkward first American meal ends in hilarity – Dexerto
Korean streamer’s awkward first American meal ends in hilarity HAchubby, Twitch / FreepikThanks to the popularity of live streaming, internet personalities across the globe can interact with fans of all languages – and one Korean Twitch streamer took her fandom to the next level with an IRL stream in another country. Korean Twitch streamer “Hachubby” is a quickly-growing face on the platform, skyrocketing to fame for her hilarious impressions of stars like Dr Disrespect and the hilarious antics she records during broadcasts of her part-time job at a convenience store. That’s not all Hachubby is known for, though: the streamer likewise talks with her fans in English as best she can, as it is her second language, sometimes resulting in humorous moments as she uses online tools to communicate. Hachubby kicked her content up a notch with a trip to the United States in late September, traveling to San Diego to try out authentic American cuisine for her IRL stream. Her food of choice? Pizza: but her quest for the victuals didn’t go off without a hitch, as she had an awkward interaction with a waitress when trying to order a pie. “Are you by yourself or are you waiting for somebody else?” the waitress asked, resulting in an uncomfortable conversation where Hachubby asked if she was allowed to stream in the restaurant. “This is a livestream,” she explained. “I can livestream?” The encounter continued in a similar manner, with the waitress pointedly asking Hachubby if she wanted to dine in or take out, leaving her somewhat confused and flustered. Despite the awkward interaction, Hachubby’s first American pizza turned out to be a near-religious experience, as shown by the hilarious expression she gave the camera upon biting into the pie and giving a thumbs up. The waitress later asked her about her thoughts on the meal, which Hachubby confirmed with another thumbs up through a bite of pizza, answering, “Very good,” before falling into a fit of laughter. No matter the circumstances, IRL streams almost always bring out unexpected and humorous content to unsuspecting viewers – but Hachubby’s trip to America is giving fans a wholesome look into her daily life.

Korean Kick streamer jump scared as stranger opens toilet door – Dexerto
Korean Kick streamer jump scared as stranger opens toilet door Unsplash: Giorgio Trovato / Instagram: hyubbaA Korean Kick streamer has inadvertently shared with his audience the shocking moment a stranger walked in on the streamer using a public restroom. Korean Kick streamer ‘Hyubsama’ is no stranger to making the front page of the ever-popular Livestream Fail subreddit. However, the reasons behind his headlines are usually packed with controversy. He was previously banned from Twitch after drunkenly chasing and harassing a fellow streamer, moving his content to Kick instead. Now the content creator has run into trouble again — though luckily, in a far lighter sense. While using a public restroom, Hyub was jump scared when a stranger managed to open the door. He just so happened to be streaming at the time, filming the entire encounter. “What the f***,” Hyub can be heard shouting in the stream, out of sight from viewers. “It’s supposed to be closed!” The stranger seemed equally distressed by the situation, profusely apologizing as he quickly closed the door once more. “Sorry sir, sorry sir,” the man repeated. “I’m so sorry.” Despite Hyubsama’s initial shock, it seems there are no hard feelings over the ordeal. “Ok, ok. I forgive you,” the streamer ultimately said. Viewers were quick to share their amusement at the streamer’s unfortunate situation, with Hyubsama’s chat overrun by laughing emojis. “Called it,” one fan commented. “Oop, the way he jumped,” another said, referring to the stranger’s own surprised reaction to finding the toilet already occupied. It is unknown what caused the door’s lock to fail, though it seems Hyubsama might be a little more cautious using public restrooms in the future.

Korean streamer “accidentally” stream sniped during trip to US – Dexerto
Korean streamer “accidentally” stream sniped during trip to US HAchubby, InstagramPopular Twitch streamer HAchubby has taken her IRL streams to the United States and is already being spotted by other streamers during the trip. The Korean can often be seen playing video games and talking in front of a camera on her constantly growing channel, racking up a total of almost 100,000 followers since starting out on the streaming platform. While she might have had several big moments go viral during the course of 2019 already, there’s a good chance that she might not have expected to be stream sniped on her travels – judging by her reaction at least. Fellow streamer Zulu was hosting their own IRL stream on September 25 and took a moment to record their surroundings, before noticing that a very familiar pink-haired woman was on top of a nearby bus, talking in front of her camera. While it might be a bit of a leap to suggest that this was stream sniping, it’s still fairly possible that somebody in Zulu’s group knew of HAchubby’s whereabouts. Members of the chat certainly did, after mentioning her name soon after the encounter. Either way, it turned out to be one of the most wholesome moments both streamers could have imagined. “Wait, you streaming? Gamers… Are you streaming? We’re streaming!” one lady from the group said, before exchanging Twitch names with the Korean. HAchubby and Zulu are just two of many streamers that will be coming together to meet up, and greet fans, at the San Diego TwitchCon between September 27-29. This meeting, as the footage shows, at the San Diego Zoo – a very typical tourist destination for anybody visiting the area. However, not many would have expected to see these two streams collide, even for a split second, for this encounter. There’s no doubt that even more IRL streamer crossovers will take place in the run-up to, and during, the event to close out the month. Just like many other fans, we’ll be waiting in anticipation!

Korean IRL streamer mocked for being “joke on society” by stranger – Dexerto
Korean IRL streamer mocked for being “joke on society” by stranger Twitch/yugwha0901Korean Twitch streamer Yugwha was visiting a gym in the United States when she was approached by a complete stranger who proceeded to mock her. While performing an exercise, the streamer started getting asked a series of questions from one of the men working out at the gym regarding her stream, how many followers she had and even how much money she makes. Even before she could answer a question about her followers, the man jumped into the profitability of streaming. “Fifty-two-thousand,” the streamer replied, answering the question about her followers. “Is that how much you make a year?” the man snapped back. “I don’t check my profit. I just stream,” Yugwha answered, although stressing it is her full-time job. “I don’t check my bank account.” The man, however, found the streamer’s success “ridiculous.” “There are people out here working their butts off building houses for ten dollars an hour,” he explained. “You can’t even speak English properly and you’re doing the exercise all wrong and people are eating it up online.” For her part, Yugwha just kept laughing throughout the rant, perhaps unsure if he was being mean to her or just joking around. “You’re like a joke on society,” he blasted, prompting the Korean to ask if that was good or not. “Kind of. I mean, it can be good, it can be bad.” The gym trainer went on to call it “Adam Sandler good, but never Brad Pitt good” causing the confused streamer to just thank him. Even after her chat was calling the gym-goer rude and even racist, Yugwha insisted the man was “kind” and that he tried to teach her. However, after reading that he was making fun of her, she decided to just move on to something else. Being in a different country without having a firm grasp on the language can be difficult. Hopefully, the encounter doesn’t discourage the streamer from continuing to learn English.

Korean IRL streamers baited into lewd donation prank – Dexerto
Korean IRL streamers baited into lewd donation prank Twitch: Yunicorn19Korean streamer ‘Yunicorn19’ was doing an IRL stream on Twitch with her two friends when they were baited with one of the oldest tricks in the book. Streaming personalities interact with their chat as a way to keep their audience engaged, and reading out the names of those that have donated is a big aspect of what drives people to give them money. However, trolls often take advantage of this to try to get the streamer to say something funny without meaning to, and three Korean models learned this lesson during their September 19 stream when a donation baited them into saying something lewd. Twitch donation gone wrong The Korean streamers decided to make things fun for their chat by giving their donations a maid-like twist, where they would read out the names of their donators and call them ‘master’, which is a characteristic of the roleplay. However, things took a lewd turn when a $5 tip from a troll called ‘Bater’ came in, and one of the women quickly thanked him out loud. “Thank you for donating, master Bater!” she said, before immediately covering her mouth when realizing what it sounded like. After being tricked into saying the lewd phrase, the model then turned to her friends and confirmed that she said what they thought was said, to which one of the women laughed “yeah, it was a trick!” One female didn’t understand what happened, but broke down laughing when it was explained that she said “masturbator” and said “People are going to clip this, it will be on Livestream Fails!” The streamer who was tricked didn’t look too amused, before she replied to the chat and said “you are evil. You’re a pervert, all of you guys are perverts!” This isn’t the first time this has happened recently – another Korean streamer by the name of Hesou ‘EXBC’ was also baited into a lewd donation prank during her IRL stream on August 24. While walking around the city of Busan, she received a similar donation prank, when the person’s name was ‘Mike_Hunt_Is_bald’ and she accidentally read it out loud without realizing what it sounded like. IRL streams are some of the most watched broadcasts on Twitch, as the ‘Just Chatting’ category is consistently in the top 10 most viewed categories on the streaming platform.

Knut banned on Twitch days after driving car while distracted by chat – Dexerto
Knut banned on Twitch days after driving car while distracted by chat Twitch/KnutTwitch streamer Knut has been banned after getting caught driving a car while responding to his chat at the exact same time. Distracted driving happens every so often on Twitch, but the Amazon-owned platform has been quick to take action whenever there’s a violation of its zero-tolerance policy. Throughout the years there have been a handful of distracted driving incidents on Twitch, normally due to streamers trying to multi-task by responding to chat while navigating the road. On January 2, Twitch streamer Knut was the latest to be hit with a ban after footage surfaced showing him blatantly checking out his chat as he drove. Knut banned on Twitch following distracted driving stream On December 30, a clip showing Knut driving and reading chat was posted to social media, demanding that Twitch take action. “Why does Twitch always turn a blind eye to distracted driving?” the tweet was captioned. In the footage, Knut could be seen taking his eyes off the road and looking down at his phone and Twitch chat multiple times, while another vehicle could be seen passing him. Days later, it seems like the incident finally caught up with him, as the streamer was hit with a ban. His channel now states, “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.” So far, the streamer has yet to comment on the incident or how long the channel will be unavailable for, but it’s unlikely to be permanent. However, if there was an accident as a result of his distracted driving, chances are the ban could have been a lot worse. Last year, a Polish streamer was permabanned on Twitch after running over a dog while being distracted by chat.

Kitten sabotages owner’s game in hilarious viral TikTok – Dexerto
Kitten sabotages owner’s game in hilarious viral TikTok TikTok: MeywhooAny cat owner knows that while kittens can be tiny, fluffy, and adorable, they can also cause unimaginable havoc. One TikToker caught the cutest possible kitten-caused accident and it’s going viral. TikToker Meywhoo was filming her kitten Pepper on Snapchat dressed in a tiny little kitten onesie, but it kept falling over and running about manically. In the midst of the kitten’s antics, Pepper launched herself straight onto the Xbox button immediately switching off a game her husband was in the middle of, and he wasn’t happy. Her husband could be heard screaming “noooo” off-camera while his wife giggled and the kitten looked around wondering what had just happened. But of course, the only thing he could do to help his anger was to point his middle finger, shout “F*** you” and “Why?” at the poor unassuming Pepper who had no idea what she had done. Viewers were in complete awe at how cute the tiny kitten was, with one user writing “That is adorable. I would end up kissing her all over,” to which Meywhoo replied “he did” with a video of her husband doting over Pepper. Another person wrote “The most adorable accident,” while one wittily responded “Cat said PS4 only.” Read More: Clubhouse user accuses MrBeast of racism – Sadly, Meywhoo confirmed in a more recent video that Pepper has passed away at almost two-years-old and that the viral video was from around two months after they first got the kitten. Meywhoo said that Pepper was given surgery because she had a hole in her intestines that they didn’t know about previously, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. View this post on Instagram Meywhoo also added that she originally began posting videos of her kitten as part of a campaign for her GoFundMe to raise money for Pepper’s surgery, and now some of that money will also go towards her cremation. Despite the very sad news, Pepper’s memory is living on through more videos her owner is uploading and she is getting love from viewers all around the world.
