Kai Cenat gives his “honest” review of Pokimane’s Midnight Mini Cookies Twitch / Kai CenatKai Cenat has finally tried Pokimane’s Midnight Mini Cookies, which are the first product under her new Myna Snacks brand, where he gave his “honest” opinion live on his Twitch stream. Food and drink brands have proved to be a rising trend with content creators after many have proved immensely popular. These include MrBeast’s Feastables chocolate as well as Logan Paul and KSI’s Prime Hydration energy drinks. Pokimane unveiled her brand-new health-focused food brand Myna Snacks on November 14, where she released her first product of Midnight Mini Cookies. As soon as the product launched, the streamer was hit with a wave of backlash which sent the internet into a frenzy. Mainly, the criticisms came from several accusations that the cookies are overpriced and have copied similar Costco products. The Twitch star responded to the claims by initially calling fans “broke boys,” before later apologizing via her socials and announcing she will do “better,” in regards to addressing criticisms. Kai Cenat, who has joined Poki on a few streams since the launch, has now given his “honest” review of the snacks. Kai Cenat reviews Pokimane’s Midnight Mini Cookies “3, 2, 1” Kai said as he began to eat Pokimane’s Midnight Mini Cookies for himself. His viewers waited in anticipation for over 30 seconds as the streamer sat in silence eating the snacks. “The fudge part of the cookie, I’ll be honest… that sh*t is dry,” he finally responded, before adding: “Look the chocolate though, the chocolate is good.” He ate more to make sure and then gave his final thoughts: “On my life though, not worth $28 dollars bro, I’ll be honest with you bro, not worth $28 dollars.” Due to the drama surrounding the cookie controversy, many other creators and streamers, such as xQc, have tried the Myna Snacks product for themselves to give their opinions. Whether you have tried Pokimane’s Midnight Mini Cookies for yourself or not, we have provided our own Dexerto review of them for you.

Kai Cenat fools the internet with uncanny Zendaya look-alike – Dexerto
Kai Cenat fools the internet with uncanny Zendaya look-alike Twitch: KaiCenatSpider-Man 2 is officially out on PS5, and to celebrate, Twitch star Kai Cenat brought a Zendaya look-alike onto his stream. Marvel fans are in the midst of high-flying, web-slinging action as Spider-Man 2 is officially out on PS5, swinging through the streets of New York as Peter Parker and/or Miles Morales. Thus far, the game has been met with glowing reviews, amping up the excitement for players — one of the most excited of which was none other than prominent Twitch streamer Kai Cenat. To celebrate the release of Spider-Man 2 on PS5, Kai had a few special things in mind for his broadcast that day, and one of his surprises threw viewers for a major loop. Kai Cenat celebrates Spider-Man 2 launch with Zendaya look-alike On top of recreating the scene of Peter Parker at Mary Jane’s broadway performance in the 2004 Spider-Man 2 movie, Kai also brought on a look-alike for one of the newer Spidey movies’ key actresses — Zendaya. No, it wasn’t actually the real Zendaya who featured on his stream that day, but many viewers had to do a double-take just to make sure that Kai hadn’t mysteriously pulled some strings to get her on his broadcast. In a hilarious moment on stream, the look-alike revealed that she’s also trying to get into streaming, saying that her favorite game is Team Fortress 2 (clearly a tasteful pick, but one that Kai Cenat didn’t seem to appreciate). The look-alike in question goes by ‘Ciggybae’ on TikTok, where she boasts over 500K followers due to her uncanny resemblance to the Spider-Man actress. Her appearance on his stream definitely had some viewers surprised though, as Kai has been known to rub elbows with major celebrities. In fact, the streamer is apparently buddy-buddy with Drake, SZA, and even Offset. The jury’s still out on whether or not he’ll actually get Zendaya on his stream in the future — but there’s no question that the ‘Zendaya at home’ definitely made an impact.

Kai Cenat freaks out after Drake mentions him in new song – Dexerto
Kai Cenat freaks out after Drake mentions him in new song Kai Cenat / For All the DogsKai Cenat went crazy on stream after he heard Drake appear to reference him on a song while he listened to Drake’s new album, For All the Dogs. The American streamer has been well known for his insane reactions, which over the last few years has helped propel him to be one of the biggest streamers on the planet. As his popularity has increased, he has brought various celebrities onto his broadcasts, such as Offset, Lil Baby, Ice Spice, and more. His largest celebrity encounter so far has been with Drake himself. The rapper has appeared in various streams via Facetime and in September, he even shouted out the streamer when they met in person at his concert. While listening to Drake’s new album For All the Dogs during a Twitch stream on October 6, the Toronto native surprisingly Facetimed him. However, during the same stream, it turned out that Drake even referenced him in his new song that featured on the album, as Kai couldn’t quite believe it. Drake references Kai Cenat on new album song After listening to the first few songs on Drakes’s new album, For All the Dogs, the creator started listening to the 6th track called First Person Shooter. Little did he know, when it got to Drake’s 2nd verse he appeared to reference him saying: “My youngers richer than you rappers and they all stream.” He quickly pauses the song and can be heard shouting: “What! What! What!” As he was seen getting off his chair and walking around. “Oh my f*cking god!” He said after replaying that part of the song again, “He did that, big streamer sh*t,” he later responded. Whether Drake intentionally referenced Kai Cenat or not, he has been the one streamer the artists have interacted with the most as of late, besides Adin Ross.

Kai Cenat finally meets SZA after saying she wants to stream with him – Dexerto
Kai Cenat finally meets SZA after saying she wants to stream with him Instagram: kaicenatTwitch star Kai Cenat was beaming from ear to ear when he finally met SZA in real life after publicly pining for the famous singer-songwriter for months. If there’s one thing to know about famous Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, it’s that he’s got a huge crush on SZA. Cenat, who boasts over 4.8 million Twitch followers and took home Streamer of the Year at the 2023 Streamer Awards, danced to the singer’s latest album, SOS, on release last year — and to his surprise, SZA actually noticed him. She posted a clip from his stream reacting to the album on her Instagram stories, sparking a total freakout from Cenat in response. That’s not all; SZA even claimed she wanted to make an appearance on his stream, but was admittedly “scared” of embarrassing herself in front of all his fans. “I feel like I should,” she said of the possibility. “I do want to go on Kai’s show… I’m just a little bit, mildly scared of embarrassing myself.” “Some kids are ruthless honey,” she continued, explaining why she was a little timid of being on his channel. “They be like, ‘Shut up b***h.’” Little did Kai know that the tables would soon turn. In March 2023, Kai went live saying he got hit up by producer Benny Blanco, who asked if he would join him for a SZA concert. Of course, Kai flew out to LA and had a grand old time — and even met the woman of his dreams. Kai Cenat finally meets SZA in real life and fans can’t believe it On March 24, Kai posted some photos of himself posing with SZA, presumably after her concert. “Amazing,” he captioned the photos, grinning from ear to ear. Commenters were quick to shout out Kai for achieving his greatest dream — but there’s still no telling if this meetup will result in SZA’s appearance on one of his broadcasts eventually. Luckily for Kai, he was able to finally meet with his celebrity crush… but the same can’t be said for xQc, who slid into Selena Gomez’s DMs only to be met with an unexpected message.

Kai Cenat flies to Taiwan to attend loyal fan’s graduation – Dexerto
Kai Cenat flies to Taiwan to attend loyal fan’s graduation X: KaiCenatKai Cenat made good on a recent promise by flying to Taiwan to attend the graduation of his loyal fan and good friend, Ray. Over the years, Kai Cenat has amassed a massive following on Twitch as well as other social media platforms, creating close connections with his fans and viewers in the process. One such friendship that has developed from his content creation is with Ray after they randomly met during an IRL stream in Japan. Their friendship has blossomed to the point Cenat even visited Ray in his home country of Taiwan, posting their trip together on his vlog series at the time. Additionally, the two have also hopped on stream to chat together, most recently when Ray revealed he would have to enlist in the military after his graduation, Cenat’s reaction one of complete shock after hearing this news. Even during Cenat’s groundbreaking Twitch stream with Kevin Hart, the streamer spoke to Ray while live, Hart stating that he is looking forward to meeting Ray in the future. Following this, Cenat posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) explaining that he took their friendship to the next level by flying over Taiwan to attend Ray’s graduation, fulfilling a promise made weeks prior. Based on Kai’s post, it appears the trip over to attend the graduation did not go completely according to plan, however. The streamer admitted that he got “stuck in the airport” for over 24 hours and to make matters worse, the airline lost “all [his] luggage.” Cenat later added that it “was all worth it” though, just to see Ray graduate, sharing a photo of the two smiling at the camera, Ray adorned in his graduation gown and Cenat in a suit. Cenat’s audience flooded the post with comments largely of praise, one user stating, “Kai looks like a proud mentor and a father.” Another added, “Real love right there.”

Kai Cenat explains why he doesn’t date as a top Twitch streamer – Dexerto
Kai Cenat explains why he doesn’t date as a top Twitch streamer YouTube: Kai Cenat LiveTwitch star Kai Cenat explained why he isn’t in a relationship after rising to fame as one of the internet’s most prominent online entertainers. Kai Cenat exploded onto the Twitch scene in 2022, beating out names like xQc to become the site’s single most-subscribed creator in any language. Now boasting over 3.6 million followers on the platform, Kai’s status as a famous Twitch streamer has catapulted him to online stardom — even connecting him to mainstream celebrities like music artists Blueface and SZA. It’s no secret that becoming a top-tier Twitch streamer takes time and dedication, though. Many broadcasters stream upwards of ten hours a day or more — something that Kai Cenat says is preventing him from getting boo’d up this cuffing season. Cenat spoke about his dating life (or rather, his lack thereof) on a recent episode of the FULL SEND Podcast, explaining that his intense streaming schedule wouldn’t be a good fit for a romantic relationship. Kai Cenat explains why he isn’t in a relationship “I haven’t been in a relationship in like, three years,” the streamer admitted after being asked about his love life. “That sh*t is dedication.” “Bro, when you’re in a relationship, it’s not about you no more,” he explained. “It’s about you and that other person. You think a girl will want to be with me if I’m streaming f*cking ten, eleven hours a day?” “Is it cool to have a girl that you’re close with on your side? Yeah, that’s cool. That, commitment, that title? Yeah. It’s about y’all.” Despite Kai’s busy schedule, it doesn’t look like that’s stopping him from hitting up his celebrity crush, SZA. The singer-songwriter notably shared one of his Twitch clips to her Instagram stories after dropping her new album, S.O.S., in December. That’s not all; she even considered appearing on his stream, something that Cenat made clear he’d love to have happen if she decides to go through with it.

Kai Cenat fans furious with Nicki Minaj for showing up four hours late to Twitch stream – Dexerto
Kai Cenat fans furious with Nicki Minaj for showing up four hours late to Twitch stream Twitter/X: Kai CenatKai Cenat sent Twitch into a frenzy when rap star Nicki Minaj showed up on his stream — but some fans were furious as she was four hours late to the broadcast. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s top stars, famously breaking subscriber records on the site and even taking home Streamer of the Year at the 2023 Streamer Awards. Throughout his career as an online entertainer, Kai has had the privilege of inviting several celebrity guests on his stream — not the least of which were rappers like Blueface and Offset. Now, another major name in the rap game has graced Kai Cenat’s Twitch channel after Nicki Minaj showed up for a broadcast on the night of December 13… and although fans were super excited about this long-awaited collaboration, many were left upset when the stream didn’t start on time. Kai Cenat pulls 300K viewers despite Nicki Minaj being 4 hours late As posted to Kai Cenat’s Twitter/X account, his stream with Nicki was initially scheduled to start at 9 PM ET, and was later pushed back to 11 PM ET. But things didn’t actually kick off until four hours after that, as the rapper was running late. Despite this kerfuffle, Kai still managed to rake in 300K viewers in the middle of the night as fans poured in to watch one of the biggest names in rap celebrate the release of her new album, Pink Friday 2. Nicki Minaj turned up 4 hours late at 3am, and then put Twitch’s new guidelines to the test by twerkingpic.twitter.com/YnoMuhlwBz — Dexerto (@Dexerto) December 14, 2023 There were, however, quite a few viewers who were upset at Nicki for being so late to Kai’s stream. One reason for this was that the rapper was actually in an interview with influencer Funny Marco that seemingly ran over time. “No shade Nicki Minaj, love you to the moon and back, but you told Kai Cenat 11:00 PM , it’s 2:15 AM,” a fan wrote on Twitter/X. “Love you, but that’s SUPER inconsiderate. He’s bringing you into his world and it’s over 300K people waiting for you .For you to be THIS LATE is insane. Show him that you value his time and platform.” “Yo, Nicki being two hours late is lowkey f*cked up,” another said. “This ain’t no prerecorded sh*t that Kai can just cut down and pretend nothing happened. This **** is live and has to find a way to distract 300k people from the fact that they’ve been waiting two hours.” Still others criticized the rapper for being late over on Reddit, where one user said, “Only took four hours of stalling. These celebs really don’t give AF about anyone. Watching Kai trying to just make sh*t up on the fly for four hours was funny but then I just started feeling bad.” Although there were plenty of fans who were upset, many more were impressed that Kai still pulled hundreds of thousands of viewers in the dead of night for one of his biggest streams yet, proving that yet again, he’s still one of Twitch’s most prolific broadcasters to date.

Kai Cenat distraught as SZA rumored to be dating Travis Scott – Dexerto
Kai Cenat distraught as SZA rumored to be dating Travis Scott Twitch, Twitter: KaiCenatTwitch star Kai Cenat was left completely distraught after seeing SZA and Travis Scott together in a music video amid rumors that the two artists are dating. Kai Cenat is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. Boasting over 6 million followers on the platform, he’s also broken subscriber records on the site and even signed a major deal with Rumble to score an exclusive show with YouTube star IShowSpeed. However, if there’s one thing to know about Kai, it’s that he’s always been holding a candle for SZA, an American music artist who just released her latest album, SOS, last year. His crush got back to SZA, who posted his reaction to her album on social media. She even claimed that she’d like to stream with him, but admitted that was a bit shy of his fanbase. Kai Cenat crushed after SZA appears with Travis Scott amid dating rumors Kai actually got to see his dreams become a reality and met SZA at one of her concerts in March. He was absolutely beaming in the photos they took together to commemorate the event… but it looks like his dream girl might have slipped out of his grasp since then. Over the last month, fans have been all but convinced that SZA is potentially dating rapper Travis Scott — a rumor that only amped up after the two artists had a flirty interaction during a concert in June. Now, the rumors are stronger than ever after SZA and Scott appeared together in the ‘K-POP’ music video alongside Bad Bunny and The Weeknd. Kai tuned into the video and was literally floored after seeing the two artists spending time together. The streamer fell to the ground, crying out, “Oh my god, it’s true! What the f*ck? What the f*ck is this!” “No, bro,” he continued, before watching the clip again, completely incredulous. “She recorded this?” It’s clear that Kai isn’t happy about SZA’s possible involvement with Travis Scott — but he’s not alone in pining after a major celebrity. Fellow streamer xQc went viral after trying to slide into Ice Spice’s DMs earlier this year, but it doesn’t look like those attempts panned out, either.

Kai Cenat demands MrBeast put him in video and reveals extreme lengths he’ll go to – Dexerto
Kai Cenat demands MrBeast put him in video and reveals extreme lengths he’ll go to YouTube: Paramount+, MrBeastKai Cenat has made it quite clear that he wants to be in a MrBeast video, and he’s shared the extreme lengths he’ll go to make his dream a reality. Since breaking the record for the most subs on Twitch back in February 2023, Kai Cenat has been seen in a variety of other content. He appeared in the nostalgic launch of Good Burger 2 on Paramount+ most recently, complete with a couple of spoken lines toward the end of the movie. Now, he’s demanding to be in a MrBeast video and even revealed what he’s willing to do just to make it happen. Kai Cenat demands to be in MrBeast video In his latest YouTube video, Kai Cenat reacted to Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson’s latest upload. Just seconds in, he revealed interest in joining the star creator for a video in the future. “When are you gonna put me in a video bro? Like Jimmy, bro, put me in a f**king video bro,” he said. Cenat also revealed what he’s willing to do in order to make it happen. He said: “I’ll just be in the background, I’ll even be the camera guy.” Whether or not it’ll happen is still up in the air as MrBeast has yet to respond to Kai’s request. It wouldn’t be the first time Jimmy has had well-known influencers and celebrities feature on his videos, either. Back in June 2023, Pete Davidson appeared on a yacht alongside the YouTuber and quite a few other big names. We’ll update you if MrBeast responds or if Kai appears in one of his videos, whichever comes first. In the meantime, keep it locked to Dexerto for more news and other viral stories.

Kai Cenat devastated after SZA blocks him on Instagram – Dexerto
Kai Cenat devastated after SZA blocks him on Instagram Twitch/KaiCenatTwitch star Kai Cenat was devastated after realizing that his crush, music artist SZA, had apparently blocked him on Instagram after he shot his shot with her. If there’s one thing to know about world-famous Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, it’s that he’s got a huge crush on SZA. Although Kai has never played around about his feelings for SZA, his crush became more widely known when he reacted to her latest album ‘SOS’ during a live stream late last year. To his surprise, she reposted his bombastic reaction to her Instagram stories, and later even said that she’d like to stream with him — but admitted that she was a bit shy about appearing in front of all his fans. In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Kai actually got to meet SZA at one of her concerts not too long afterward, where he snapped a couple pics to commemorate the event. With all this info in mind, it certainly seemed like a SZA x Kai collab was in the cards at some point in the future… but this might not be meant to be, after the streamer’s latest revelation. Kai Cenat stunned when SZA blocks him after shooting his shot During a recent broadcast, Kai was left stunned after realizing that he could no longer send SZA any messages on Instagram. He’d apparently slid into her DMs to shoot his shot earlier — and seemingly got blocked for it. “I can’t send any more messages, bro,” he said. “Bro, on God. On God, I can’t send any more messages, bro!” As if to prove he wasn’t lying, he showed his phone to the camera, revealing their message history with a warning at the bottom that read: “Invite sent. You can send more messages after your invite is accepted.” “What?” Kai asked despondently, clearly upset by this latest turn of events. However, some fans suggest that her team may have changed her account settings around, rather than her personally blocking him over some perceived offense. This isn’t the first time Kai has been left sad after learning something about SZA; in July, the broadcaster was visibly upset after seeing her interact with her rumored boyfriend Travis Scott in a music video, seemingly confirming that the two were dating. Whatever the case may be, it’s clear that this incident left Kai feeling burnt… but hopefully he’ll be able to talk to his celebrity crush sooner rather than later.

Kai Cenat defends viral condiment Pink Sauce after taste test – Dexerto
Kai Cenat defends viral condiment Pink Sauce after taste test YouTube: Kai Cenat LiveTwitch star Kai Cenat tried out TikTok’s viral Pink Sauce during a live stream, and was, surprisingly, a big fan of the controversial condiment in spite of its history. Pink Sauce took over the internet in Summer 2022 after TikTok-famous creator ‘Chef Pii’ started posting videos of her homemade, bright-pink condiment to social media. Chef Pii’s videos showed her pouring the sauce onto all manner of food like wings, tacos, and more — and after some time, she decided to sell it independently online. However, customers complained about their sauce spoiling in the summer heat, noting that it contained perishable ingredients like dairy. Viewers also pointed out some major mistakes on its nutrition label. Pretty soon, everyone was piling on Pink Sauce and warning others of possible food safety issues, causing a massive storm online. Since then, Chef Pii has partnered up with hot sauce brand Dave’s Gourmet to make an FDA-approved version of Pink Sauce that’s now available to buy at Walmart stores across the USA. Kai Cenat is a fan of Pink Sauce: ‘It’s really good’ Twitch streamer Kai Cenat decided to test out the viral sauce for himself… and was, surprisingly, a fan of it, wondering why his chat was saying the sauce was “poison.” “This isn’t bad!” he shouted at his viewers. “What? Bro, it’s like honey mustard mixed up with ranch. But less on the honey mustard, though. Think ranch with a spice. You feel me?” “Bro, how is this bad?” he continued. “Bro, how the fck is this bad, bro? Bro, this sht’s like a 7.5 out of 10, which is really good. It’s not bad, bro.” Although one of Kai’s friends was decidedly not a fan of Pink Sauce (even claiming it gave him a stomach ache), the streamer continued to defend the condiment and maintains that it’s not as bad as his chat would have him believe. For those curious about our take on Chef Pii’s new and improved Pink Sauce, head on over to read our review of the condiment that took over TikTok last year.

Kai Cenat demands apology from Logan Paul for calling JiDion “two-faced” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat demands apology from Logan Paul for calling JiDion “two-faced” Twitch: KaiCenatTwitch star Kai Cenat has gotten into a feud with Logan Paul, publicly slamming the YouTube-boxer during a stream for calling JiDion “two-faced” and demanding he apologize. It seems like a slew of creators are getting into spats with each other as Logan Paul’s boxing match with mixed martial artist Dillon Danis looms on the horizon. Logan was at a press conference for the fight on August 22 when YouTube prankster JiDion came backstage and joked about a past incident that had happened between them. However, it doesn’t look like Paul was too amused by his quip and instead lashed out at JiDion, calling him a “two-faced b*tch.” Since then, JiDion has been openly critical of Paul, even revealing that he’d left PRIME because he “didn’t feel wanted and appreciated.” Paul’s feud with JiDion is just one of many moving parts within his ongoing beef with Dillon Danis, who has been publicly antagonizing him by posting photos and videos of his fiance… but it looks like another big creator has entered the arena in the meantime. Kai Cenat calls out Logan Paul over JiDion drama On August 29, prominent Twitch streamer Kai Cenat publicly called out Logan Paul during a broadcast, seemingly taking issue with his comments toward JiDion backstage at the press conference a week prior. “Yo, Logan Paul,” Kai began, holding a bottle of PRIME in one hand. “I heard you called my mans two-faced, bro. I didn’t like that. You understand me? I didn’t like that.” “KSI, I f*ck with you, gang. But Logan, I heard you called my mans two-faced, gang. But I’ma keep sh*t P, though.” “…but look, yo. Yo, look, Logan. Apologize to my mans, bro. That was kinda f*cked up, Logan Paul. It was f*cked up, bro. Like, I just seen the clip, and it was f*cked up.” It’s clear that Kai isn’t pleased about what Logan had to say, although he’s cool with his business partner and fellow PRIME founder, KSI. For now, it looks like Kai is keeping it cool while still expecting an apology — but this is certainly an unexpected development on his end, given all the drama currently surrounding Paul already. This isn’t the first time Kai has made his feelings known on stream lately; just a few days prior, Kai even threatened to leave Twitch if the company didn’t reinstate IShowSpeed, who was notably banned from the platform in 2021.

Kai Cenat defends “oblivious” iShowSpeed amid critic attempts to ‘cancel’ him – Dexerto
Kai Cenat defends “oblivious” iShowSpeed amid critic attempts to ‘cancel’ him Full Send/Kai CenatTwitch star Kai Cenat stepped to the defense of fellow streamer iShowSpeed during an appearance on the FULL SEND Podcast, claiming that some critics have tried to ‘cancel’ the YouTuber. Over the last few months, iShowSpeed has experienced some absolutely insane growth on his YouTube streams. The young streamer regularly attracts over 100k viewers every time he goes live, and even had to get police help while in the UK as he got swarmed by fans. Despite his massive popularity, Speed has come under fire quite a few times as well. He’s recently been accused of being racist towards a Chinese fan while at the World Cup and he’s also been accused of helping promote a cryptocurrency “scam” to his fans. Speed has apologized for both incidents and has also had the backing of a number of streamers too, as they’ve regularly pointed to his age as a mitigating factor for a few of his decisions. Kai Cenat is just the latest to do so, noting that Speed is simply too “oblivious” to things. Kai Cenat defends iShowSpeed amid cancelation attempts The Twitch star appeared on the NELK Boys’ FULL SEND Podcast on December 9, discussing his rise in the streaming world, his plans for the future, and his relationship with Speed. “He’s so young and he’s so smart because he’s international. I feel like people gotta watch him to really understand him. He gets a lot of criticism for s*it that he says and does, but it’s so crazy because there’s been times where they try to ‘cancel’ him over certain s*it but he’s so oblivious,” Kai said about the YouTuber. “He’s young, like, he deadass doesn’t know right from wrong, and at first I thought it was an act like he’d put on for streaming s*it, but when I’m with him, he’ll deadass don’t know what to do.” Timestamp of 1:09:37 Kai noted that the pair have “taught” each other things whenever they’ve linked up, and reiterated that Speed isn’t putting on act – which has been another criticism of his. The two streaming phenoms haven’t teamed up for a stream in a while, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see it happen again before long.

Kai Cenat defends Valkyrae using ‘AAVE’ language: “The internet is soft” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat defends Valkyrae using ‘AAVE’ language: “The internet is soft” Twitch: Kai CenatAfter Valkyrae apologized and confirmed that she would avoid using certain phrases considered to be AAVE language (African American Vernacular English), Kai Cenat has defended her, arguing that they are “regular words.” On a stream in October, Valkyrae had jokingly used the phrase “on a stack no cap for real for real” – not thinking anything of it at the time. The following day, the YouTube streamer explained that one of her moderators had reached out, and warned her against using this language, as it is considered AAVE, and therefore reserved for black people. Valkyrae was thankful for her moderator bringing it to her attention, but many fans and users on social media were surprised to hear her apologize for her use of the phrase, claiming that it is not offensive for a non-black person to use it – something Kai Cenat agrees with. Kai says Valkyrae can say what she wants Kai, currently the most-subscribed to Twitch streamer on the platform, hopped on a call with the number 2 in subs, xQc, to discuss the issue, among other topics. After xQc explained what the controversy was about, Kai seemed bemused. “First thing’s first – why are people telling her not to use words that aren’t like, violent or disrespectful?” he asked. “These are regular words, bro. She can use or say whatever the f**k she wants.” “And two, the internet is becoming too soft bro. It just looks bad on black people, we’re pulling the card every single time. Like, bro, this is fine. Let her say whatever the f**k she want. She can’t say ‘chille’, ‘bae’? Who is stopping someone from saying bae? Come on bro.” Valkyrae, for the time being, plans to refrain from using some of these phrases still, to avoid any potential slip ups, but clearly, the issue isn’t as clear cut as it may seem at first. Another black streamer, Nmplol, also said Valkryae had nothing to apologize for.

Kai’s efforts have not gone unnoticed by Twitch, however, who recently sent him a mysterious package that he was happy to open on stream. Unfortunately for Twitch, the package seemed to bring more confusion than joy to the streamer. Kai was visually excited for the package received from Twitch, stating on stream before opening it, “it better be a f***ing contract”. However, it was clear that Kai wasn’t expected what he received, bringing up a shoe box to show his viewers. Kai proceeded to open up the shoebox and read the message to him from Twitch. “Congratulations Kai on your huge accomplishment. We are so proud of you, Laura, Anna, and all of your friends at Twitch.” At this point Kai seemed almost concerned whilst opening the package, hoping there was something good inside. “Please be some boss sh**.” he expressed to his viewers. Kai Cenat stunned after opening pair of shoes sent by Twitch The streamer was almost stunned as he pulled the shoes out of the box. Looking at the camera with his mouth open, Kai kneeled there, almost dumbfounded by what he was holding in his hands, darting between the shoe and then the camera. The sneakers themselves were embellished with plenty of writing, as well as their logo and their signature purple. Finally, after a brief moment of silence, Kai laughingly exclaimed “what the f***”. He proceeded to joke by stating “it’s giving…” and proceeded to play the song “Shake It Up”. It appears that his Twitch viewers weren’t too happy. Some exclaimed that the pair of sneakers was ugly, or that Twitch was low-key racist for sending them to Kai. Some even went so far as to call them, “Justin Bieber a** shoes”. Many are wondering about Kai receiving a contract from Twitch. However, it seems the streaming giant isn’t quite ready to give the streamer what he deserves.

Kai Cenat defends attending North West’s birthday after being called “weird” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat defends attending North West’s birthday after being called “weird” Instagram: kaicenatKai Cenat has hit back at those claiming it was “weird” for him to have met up with North West for her 11th birthday. On June 15, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s oldest child North West turned 11, celebrating the day in New York City with her mom and a commemorative t-shirt to mark the occasion. YouTuber and popular streamer Kai Cenat also made an appearance, later posting to his Instagram story a photo of him and North to one of Kanye’s songs. However, some viewers took issue with his attendance, claiming it was “weird” for Kai to be “hanging out with an 11 [year old]”, and comparing him to “Drake and Diddy”. Despite the mass backlash slamming the situation as “weird”, others were quick to point out that Kai is a “kid-friendly streamer“. Kai himself has since responded, sharing a similar sentiment and revealing he had been asked to meet North as he was her “favorite streamer.” “To everybody who literally made yesterday weird, you’re being so weird, bro,” Kai said, turning the tables on those opposed to his catch-up with North. “Here’s the thing… I am North’s favorite streamer, okay? So yesterday, all she wanted to do was meet me, bro. That was it. Literally.” Kai went on to say that the allegations against him were the “weirdest thing” about the situation; “I have a whole bunch of parents whose daughters and sons would love to meet me, bro. And if I could, I would just meet everybody.” Despite the hate he had received over his appearance at North’s birthday, Kai insisted the pair had a “great time” and promised an “epic” upcoming vlog showcasing how the day went. “Kids always [want to] meet [their] favorite celebrities,” one person replied on X (formerly Twitter), agreeing with what Kai had to say. Another pointed out that “Kim reached out and paid him to attend her daughter’s birthday party,” with a third claiming that it was “f***ed” that Kai even had to address the situation.

Kai Cenat claps back at Dillon Danis after he “disrespected” his Twitch fanbase – Dexerto
Kai Cenat claps back at Dillon Danis after he “disrespected” his Twitch fanbase YouTube: Misfits Boxing / Twitch: Kai CenatTwitch star Kai Cenat clashed with mixed martial artist Dillon Danis after the fighter insulted his fanbase, calling his viewers “premature” boys in a live-streamed interview with KSI. YouTube-boxer KSI is set to face off with Dillon Danis on January 14, 2023, marking one of the influencer’s biggest matches yet. Before these two meet in the ring, popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat gathered them together for an interview on his channel — a broadcast that has garnered over 2 million views at the time of writing. Although the boxers exchanged quite a bit of trash-talk between themselves, Danis also took shots at Kai Cenat’s fanbase after the streamer claimed he ran a poll where viewers heavily favored KSI as the victor of their upcoming bout. “I did a little poll and I said, ‘Yo, who is going to win the fight?’” Cenat explained. “Dillon, you are, by miles, the underdog in this situation. How does this make you feel mentally? Does it take a toll on you? Does it make you a little nervous? How does it make you feel?” “‘Cause you don’t have men in [your fanbase],” Danis shot back. “You guys have the same fanbase. It’s just like premature soyboys.” “Yo, what the f*ck?” Cenat shouted. “I’m just saying, you have no men in there, bro.” Danis shot back. Kai Cenat pops off on Dillon Danis on Twitch during KSI interview Things escalated after that, with Cenat actually ripping off his tanktop when Danis claimed he was “probably the only man that’ll watch your sh*t.” “I’m not the f*cking one!” Cenat clapped back. “You’re not about to do all that sh*t talking on my sh*t. F*ck is you talking about? Do you understand me bro?” While it’s possible that their argument was merely an impromptu joke, fans were clearly eating it up, with Cenat’s Twitch chat full of hilarious comments and emotes. Cenat’s stream also saw KSI admit that he would “love” to fight Andrew Tate in 2023 after his bout with Danis — although it’s unclear if this match will come to pass, considering Tate’s apparent interest in fighting Jake after the two faced off twice in the past month.

Kai Cenat closing in on xQc as most subscribed Twitch streamer – Dexerto
Kai Cenat closing in on xQc as most subscribed Twitch streamer YouTube: Kai CenatTwitch streamers Kai Cenat and xQc are battling it out for the top spot of most-subscribed to streamer on Twitch, with the former making up ground on the Twitch king. For much of this year (and last) xQc has reigned supreme for total subs on Twitch. Although the odd streamer steals his crown temporarily, his some 70,000 active subscribers keep him on top. However, as part of his rapid rise through the Twitch ranks, streamer Kai Cenat is now fast approaching xQc’s sub numbers, and could soon overtake him. Despite having similar counts though, there are some big differences in how they got the subs. Kai Cenat aiming to overtake xQc in subs Twitch subs cost around $5 usually (prices fluctuate with regional pricing), but users can also opt to purchase more expensive tier 2 and 3 subs, for $10 or $25 respectively. There are also gifted subs too, where one user gifts a sub to another, or many, users. Although Twitch does not disclose precise sub numbers, stats site ‘TwitchTracker‘ provides a very close estimate. At the time of writing, Kai Cenat has approximately 69,028 subs, while xQc has 76,821. What’s most surprising about these stats though, is that over 25,000 of Kai’s subs have been ‘gifted’, whereas this number is only 2,888 for xQc. Also notable is that despite having so many subscribers, only 4 users are ‘tier 3’ subs to Kai Cenat, whereas 164 viewers have dropped the most expensive sub option for xQc. Whether Kai is able to keep up his momentum and take the top spot remains to be seen. While Kai’s sub count is the result of a big hype train building over the last few months, xQc’s is just his usual numbers, without him really pushing for more subs. Finally, neither streamer is often considered ‘brand friendly’ – but this is something that, clearly, isn’t holding them back. We’ll update this article if Kai manages to knock his fellow streamer off number one.

Kai Cenat carried small child to safety amid chaos in NYC giveaway – Dexerto
Kai Cenat carried small child to safety amid chaos in NYC giveaway adom.opoku | InstagramFootage from Kai Cenat’s chaotic New York City giveaway has revealed him consoling and protecting fans as the chaos unfolded before he was taken into custody by the NYPD. Kai Cenat‘s giveaway didn’t go how he expected. What started as a well-intentioned way to give back to his community erupted into chaos as the streets of New York City were flooded with thousands of people. Though Kai himself is safe, he’s since been charged with inciting a riot by the NYPD. Footage that’s emerged from that day has shown Kai Cenat helping several fans get to safety, including consoling someone who was having a panic attack and even carrying a small child to safety on his back. Kai Cenat seen consoling panicked fans during NYC chaos With him being one of the biggest streamers on Twitch and boasting millions of followers across other platforms, it’s no surprise he had a huge turnout when he announced he’d be hitting the streets of New York City. However, those looking to meet their favorite content creator were met by a sea of people. One fan was overwhelmed by all the commotion and was having a hard time breathing through what could have been a panic attack. Kai, meanwhile, stopped to help his fan out. Though he was clearly trying to get his bearings still, he didn’t hesitate to comfort someone who came there to see him. “I just wanted to see you, I can’t breathe,” the fan could be heard saying as Kai asked if they’d taken their medication. He did his best to calm them down in the moment, helping them breathe and making sure they were okay. Additionally, he was seen carrying a child named Junior away from the chaos, helping mother Neira (taintedlovex3 on Instagram) get her child to safety – and hooking them up with a few gift cards in the process. Kai Cenat and company could be heard shouting “Let the mother through!” as they did their best to escort Junior and Neira away from the horde in Neira’s Instagram story. Junior seemed excited to have met Kai despite the chaos from the day. “He gave me a high-five, and he also stopped me from crying because – I can’t even say nothing else, he’s too cool.” Kai Cenat’s fans have agreed, with many replying to tweets that displayed his actions that day to show their support for the streamer. And, though the meetup may not have ended the way Kai wanted it to, his actions have proven for many that his heart was in the right place and that he cares about his fans.

Kai Cenat claps back after KSI roasts song with IShowSpeed – Dexerto
Kai Cenat claps back after KSI roasts song with IShowSpeed Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat has clapped back just a day after KSI roasted his ‘Dogs’ song with IShowSpeed, telling the British influencer to “stick to boxing.” Back on April 27, Twitch star Kai Cenat and YouTuber IShowSpeed revealed their new song ‘Dogs’ alongside a music video uploaded to Speed’s channel. Critics weren’t sure what to think about it, but the song has been streamed millions of times across Spotify and YouTube. KSI jokingly threw shots at Kai and Speed’s song in a recent video, and now Kai Cenat has shared a few choice words from the YouTuber. Kai Cenat responds after KSI roasts song In KSI’s video, he compared the amount of streams between his new song ‘Easy’ and Kai Cenat & IShowSpeeds new song ‘Dogs’ despite the latter being released weeks before his. He quickly found that Easy has been streamed more than Dogs, and joked about being the better musician. Kai responded shortly after during his stream on Twitch. “KSI, you’re a full-time musician and we’re just only 100,000 listeners behind you. We’ve only promoted the song once,” Kai said. “And me and Speed don’t give a f*ck about music, and we absolutely said bullsh*t on the track. You stood there and put your heart and soul on the notes and we’re still as close to you as ever.” “We’re better. Stick to boxing buddy,” he continued before making a gesture with his elbow. “Oh wait. Stick to YouTube.” The gesture Kai made with his elbow is in reference to KSI’s recent bout against Joe Fournier where he striked his opponent with his elbow right before the match was called. Shortly after he finished laughing, the Twitch star mentioned that he was just joking, making it clear that he wasn’t bothered by KSI’s comments. Back in February 2023, the two collaborated on Twitch to make a small streamer speechless by gifting 200 subs.

Kai Cenat brutally roasts xQc over Adept drama: “How about you get your McLaren back?” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat brutally roasts xQc over Adept drama: “How about you get your McLaren back?” Instagram: kaicenat / YouTube: xQcTwitch stars Kai Cenat and xQc got into friendly trash talk which resulted in a brutal roast for the latter, as Kai brought up the Adept situation. During a stream, both Kai and xQc decided to play a game of FIFA 23, but with a twist. A hundred gifted subs to the winner, totaling to around $500. The Juicer himself playing as Real Madrid, and Kai as Paris Saint-Germain. Kai won the match in a clean 2-1 fashion, which resulted in xQc closing the game immediately. Kai then proceeded to shove the win in xQc’s face, proudly thanking him for the subs. It then resulted in both of them one upping each other with fictional donations they received during that stream. “Holy S*** Elon Musk! With the $500,000 dono!” Kai said sarcastically. “Yo, Imdemo thanks for the $1,500,000 and the Buggati” xQc clapped back. It was revealed xQc accidentally sent Kai 1,000 subs instead of 100, totaling to $5000. xQc accepted the mistake, letting Kai keep the money. However, the back and forths eventually devolved into pure trash talk. Kai told xQc to go practice the game and then he can come back to be beaten again. xQc responded, “how about you get some b****es on your d***?” Kai brutally responded, saying, “how about you get your McLaren back buddy?” xQc immediately left the call, not wanting to respond to the matter. Kai was referencing the recent divorce between xQc and his former partner Samantha “Adept” Lopez, and the fact she kept his McLaren in the divorce proceedings. The two have been embroiled in a messy breakup since Fall 2022. And their divorce proceedings have been aired publicly on several occasions, with heated arguments being aired live to be seen by thousands of viewers.

Kai Cenat calls out “weird” Mizkif over claims he streamed with iShowSpeed – Dexerto
Kai Cenat calls out “weird” Mizkif over claims he streamed with iShowSpeed YouTube: iShowSpeed, Kai Cenat Live, MizkifKai Cenat slammed Mizkif, calling him “weird” for claiming Kai had streamed with banned streamer iShowSpeed after Miz got banned for watching another suspended broadcaster’s content. Popular streamer Mizkif received a sudden ban from Twitch on January 13 after watching content from Gross Gore, a broadcaster who was indefinitely banned from the site back in 2021. Although the ban was only 24 hours long, Mizkif took issue with Twitch over the ordeal and even contacted a representative to explain why he was banned. He recounted the conversation to his viewers a few days later, claiming he’d asked the representative why, then, weren’t other big streamers banned for watching content from other banned creators — notably referencing xQc watching clips from Destiny, who was banned in 2022. Mizkif also referenced Kai Cenat, claiming he’d had a broadcast with iShowSpeed, who also received a ban from Twitch last year following his sexist outburst during an appearance on Adin Ross’s channel. “I’m like, how about the time Kai Cenat literally had Speed on stream?” Mizkif said. Kai Cenat slams “weird” Mizkif over iShowSpeed claims Kai Cenat reacted to Miz’s statement during one of his own broadcasts and immediately took issue with the streamer, denying that he’d ever even had Speed on his channel. “That sh*t is weird to me, bro!” Kai screamed. “I don’t give a f*ck, bro. But that sh*t is so weird to me, bro! …I never had that [expletive] on my stream, not once! …that sh*t pisses me off. That sh*t is wack to me. What the f*ck, bro?” While the two have streamed together on Speed’s YouTube channel, Cenat remains firm that he’s never invited Speed on his own Twitch channel for a joint broadcast on that platform. For now, Miz has yet to publicly respond to Kai. This latest clash follows news that both iShowSpeed and Doctor Disrespect, two of the biggest banned Twitch stars, dominated viewership on YouTube throughout 2022.

Kai Cenat breaks Twitch viewership record during Lil Baby stream – Dexerto
Kai Cenat breaks Twitch viewership record during Lil Baby stream Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat’s cataclysmic growth on Twitch is continuing with the platform’s rising star breaking his own viewership record on October 19. After announcing Lil Baby would appear on his stream, more than 200,000 viewers watched on for the collaboration. Kai Cenat has gone from strength-to-strength on Twitch. Gaining more than 1 million followers across 2022, he’s been constantly at the top of the charts with tens of thousands of average viewers every broadcast. However it exploded to another level on October 19 after he brought rapper Lil Baby on to chat about his latest album “It’s Only Me”, which released on October 14. Promoting it on Kai’s stream couldn’t have brought it to a wider audience, and it was breaking viewership records for Cenat. There was a lot of buildup ahead of Lil Baby’s entry onto stream. Then once it was confirmed he and his team were at the door, Kai Cenat jumped out of his chair to meet him and bring him into the stream room. Once Lil Baby actually showed up to the stream, the viewership numbers rocketed from 190,000 to 225,000 and more. The duo talked about their backgrounds, Lil Baby’s new background, and also what Twitch is. The Twitch star was his usual bubbly self, which was in direct contrast to the chill Lil Baby who was trying to figure out their bearings around this new part of the internet. It was a record breaker for Kai Cenat too, breaking his previous peak viewership on Twitch. It sat at around 174,000 viewers, making it the first time he has broken 200,000 concurrent viewers on a broadcast. However it’s not quite the biggest livestream in Twitch history: that goes to Ibai and his La Velada Del Año II event which pulled more than 3 million peak viewers. It’s yet another achievement in Cenat’s wild 2022 which has seen him reach heights thought unimaginable on Twitch in such a short period of time.

Kai Cenat & BruceDropEmOff unfollow each other after leaked DMs drama – Dexerto
Kai Cenat & BruceDropEmOff unfollow each other after leaked DMs drama YouTube: KaiCenat / Instagram: raycondonesKai Cenat and BruceDropEmOff have unfollowed each other on social media after leaked DMs surfaced that showed Bruce allegedly insulting Kai and other stars. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s top stars. Boasting over 7 million followers on the platform, he’s broken major subscriber records on the site and has even rubbed elbows with major celebrities like Drake and SZA. Despite his popularity, it seems that not everyone is a fan of Kai — namely, fellow streamer BruceDropEmOff, who famously moved to Kick following multiple Twitch bans earlier this year. Earlier in October, DMs surfaced on Twitter/X that showed Bruce allegedly dissing Kai Cenat, YourRage, and even rapper Lil Yachty. In the messages, Bruce made fun of both Kai and Yachty for starring in a short film, saying in one DM: “Now **** wanna go into acting like they ain’t been acting. …on GOD, I’m not watching that sh*t.” Kai was quick to respond to the messages, telling Bruce that he needed to “go to therapy.” “If that’s how you feeling, I’m not even going to lie, I really think that **** going through some s*** bro,” he said. BruceDropEmOff unfollows Kai Cenat & Lil Yachty amid DM drama It doesn’t look like things are getting any better between the two streamers, as both have apparently unfollowed each other on social media. A quick look through their Instagram accounts shows that both stars no longer follow each other on the platform. That’s not all, though; Bruce has apparently unfollowed Lil Yachty, as well, seemingly as a result of the dispute. Thus far, neither has spoken out about their beef since they unfollowed each other, but we’ll keep you updated about this ongoing situation right here on Dexerto.

Kai Cenat blasts Twitch after they give him “extreme” warning over iShowSpeed video – Dexerto
Kai Cenat blasts Twitch after they give him “extreme” warning over iShowSpeed video Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat has hit out at Twitch for being too “extreme” when it comes to banned streamers, as he apparently received a warning for watching an iShowSpeed video. Just like every other social media platform out there, Twitch has a stringent set of rules and community guidelines that streamers have to follow if they want to keep their channel up and running. It’s not uncommon to see streamers get a temporary suspension for falling foul of these guidelines, but Twitch dishing out a permanent ban is always a big talking point. Take Dr Disrespect’s ban for example, we still don’t know why he got banned, and that was three years ago. As per Twitch’s guidelines, banned streamers are not allowed to appear back on the platform in any manner, and streamers are risking a suspension if they actively have them on. Kai Cenat reveals Twitch warning for watching iShowSpeed & Drake video Well, Kai Cenat isn’t a fan of those rules, as the popular Just Chatting streamer got hit with a warning for reacting to a video of iShowSpeed having a video call with Drake, where the Canadian rapped hung up on him pretty quickly. “I got a warning, bro, I got a warning like deadass. Like you can’t even react… bro what?” Kai said during his February 18 stream. “Think about it, they’re off your platform and you can’t do nothing live, but you can’t react? “Come on bro, I don’t like that. Like bro, what the f*ck? Not being able to react to a banned person, you’re just trying to silence that person. Crazy, an extreme amount.” Kai wasn’t the only one to get a warning for reacting to the clip, as he revealed that YourRAGE also got a similar message from Twitch. He’s had a few close calls with having banned streamers on his 30-day subathon recently, so it may just be Twitch’s way of nudging him to tighten things up.

Kai Cenat breaks down over dead goldfish as fans’ prediction comes true – Dexerto
Kai Cenat breaks down over dead goldfish as fans’ prediction comes true Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat broke down after discovering his new pet goldfish died after just four days, proving his fans’ prediction to be true. Popular American streamer and YouTuber Kai Cenat has not had the best of luck when it comes to owning pets, with his last one — a hamster named Lil Cenat — recently escaping her cage and presumably dying. As a replacement, Cenat got a goldfish and named him Krinklebein in honor of The Cat in the Hat character. However, fans were not convinced Krinklebein would make it far, giving the goldfish one week to survive under Cenat’s roof. Sure enough, Cenat found out while streaming that his goldfish had died after having owned him for only four days, leaving the streamer audibly distraught. “Oh my gosh,” Cenat exclaimed on stream before turning the camera to show Krinklebein floating upside down in his fishbowl. Leaving the room, Cenat seemingly broke down and could be heard crying before checking on the fish again. Tapping on the glass repeatedly, he asked hopefully, “He’s alive, right?” However, Krinklebein was not alive, resulting in Cenat breaking down once more. He later attempted to flush the fish, telling Krinklebein that he loved him. But the fish’s funeral was interrupted when water splashed Cenat in the face, resulting in the camera being dropped as the streamer fled screaming. “I’m sorry I laughed because when he first showed off the fish to his stream the chat was spamming ggs and were giving the fish 2 weeks max to live [sic],” one viewer wrote in reaction to Krinklebein’s death. While the fish’s untimely death came as no surprise to viewers, many were also critical of Cenat’s reaction; “[Man] who he foolin’, he didn’t even care about [that] fish with that cheap-ass bowl. Not even a proper aquarium.” Considering his track record owning animals, Cenat is now being encouraged online not to get any more pets.

Kai Cenat beats Ninja’s Twitch subsciber record amid historic subathon – Dexerto
Kai Cenat beats Ninja’s Twitch subsciber record amid historic subathon Twitch: kaicenatKai Cenat has overtaken Ninja’s second-place Twitch subscriber record on the platform during his own historic subathon, beating out Ninja’s 269,000 concurrent subscribers. Kai Cenat has seen some of the biggest growth on Twitch throughout 2022 and 2023. His meteoric rise has seen him gain massive popularity among online as he’s become arguably one of the top streamers on the platform at the moment, even being nominated for Streamer of the Year. Recently, Kai began a subathon to last throughout the month February. As expected, this has resulted in a massive gain in subscribers for the variety streamer. Now 27 days in, having already made history, the momentum isn’t slowing down one bit. Kai has now broken Ninja’s record for the second highest all-time Twitch subscriber count. This makes Kai the owner of the second most subscribed Twitch channel of all time, just under Ludwig’s currently held record. Ninja originally set his record back in April of 2018. This was during the height of Fortnite’s popularity, where he was able to gain 269,154 subscribers in total. However, Ninja’s record was beaten by Ludwig during his iconic subathon in April of 2021, 3 years after. Kai has since cleared Ninja, attaining more than Ninja’s record as of February 27, and still climbing. He currently holds the title as the second most subscribed channel on Twitch, however, he’s still looking to dominate the competition, aiming for the top spot with just a few days left in his subathon. With Ludwig holding the all-time record on the platform at 283,066 Twitch subscribers, Kai still has his work cut out for him, requiring at least another 13,000 subs at the time of writing. With his subathon set to wind down on March 2, time is running out but a final push could get him over the edge. We’ll be sure to update you here with all the latest should Kai reach the goal and become the most-subscribed streamer in Twitch history.

It is unclear to really make out what Cenat is saying over the noise, however the excitement and pride he feels is palpable through the footage. Kai Cenat reacts to hitting 200,000 Twitch subscribers Cenat has always been a pioneer for his community and never been scared to sharing his feelings and frustration on how Twitch has failure to properly support African-American talent. “For so many years, people of my color, we’ve been unrecognized,” Cenat said after hitting 80,000 suscribers. “I refuse for my community to go unnoticed…There’s not one time I’ve seen anyone in my community on the front page of [Twitch].” Recently, many streamers have begun announcing and revealing their votes for who they think should win streamer of the year at the 2022 awards. With many notable figures throwing Cenat’s name around as the content creator who deserves to win the top prize. Just recently, Mizkif expressed his belief that Kai Cenat should be the streamer of 2022. During his stream, Mizkif explained how “Kai has not only elevated himself, he elevated an entire new community to Twitch. It’s just the truth, he f*** did. Kai has also done more content, puts in more work.” Later going on to add that, “Kai actually is an entertainer, unlike a lot of streamers. You could actually put Kai into a room with somebody, and he’ll actually be able to make it entertaining when a lot of streamers would hurdle up into a ball and cry. The dude is an entertainer at the end of the day, he is.” Time will tell just how high Cenat’s subscriber count is able to get to but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as the number grows.

Kai Cenat banned on Twitch after eating edibles and passing out on stream – Dexerto
Kai Cenat banned on Twitch after eating edibles and passing out on stream YouTube: Kai Cenat LivePopular streamer Kai Cenat has been banned on Twitch days after eating edibles during a live broadcast and passing out in front of thousands of viewers. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s most-subscribed content creators, beating out names like xQc to become the site’s most-subbed broadcaster in 2022. Since then, Kai has taken over the platform, collaborating with major celebrities like rapper Blueface and even other big internet stars like The Sidemen. However, the streamer was suddenly banned from Twitch on January 26, 2023, and fans still aren’t sure why. Although no official reason for the ban has yet been given, this latest news does follow a broadcast where Kai passed out on stream after imbibing edibles on January 24. Twitch’s Community Guidelines do contain rules against drug use on stream, stating that “dangerous consumption of alcohol or other substances that lead to being incapacitated” falls under its “self-destructive behavior” protocols. Kai Cenat speaks out after sudden Twitch ban Kai has since spoken out about his ban in a light-hearted tweet, joking that he was “banned before subathon, I haven’t even been live. GG.” For now, it’s unclear how long Kai’s ban will last, but it looks like he’ll have to do the subathon at a later date. This is a developing story…

Kai Cenat banned on Twitch as Kick rumors fly – Dexerto
Kai Cenat banned on Twitch as Kick rumors fly Twitch: Kai CenatStreamer of the Year winner Kai Cenat has been banned on Twitch as rumors continue to circle that the streaming star might make the move to Kick. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s most popular streamers, recently breaking both Ludiwg’s and Ninja’s subscriber records due to his famous subathon in February. Now, Kai has been mysteriously banned on Twitch – and fans are curious if the record-breaking streamer will make the switch to Kick. On April 17, Kai received a ban from Twitch. Fans aren’t sure why he was banned yet, but the streamer did address the situation in a tweet saying, “BANNED.” A quick peek at his channel shows a message that reads, “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.” For now, all we know is that Kai broke the site’s Community Guidelines or TOS. However, some fans speculate that the ban might have come about as a result of Kai crashing a dirt bike into his set up just a few days prior. Fellow Twitch streamer JinnyTTY also received a ban for a similar instance after “driving recklessly” on a scooter during a broadcast. Will Kai Cenat join Kick after Twitch ban? This ban comes in the wake of multiple rumors of top-tier Twitch talent potentially leaving the site in favor of Kick. Most recently, Kick actually sent Kai Cenat a gift – a pair of custom, OffWhite Air Forces meant as a subtle jab to Twitch, who gifted the star custom sneakers instead of a contract following his viral subathon. This left the streamer visibly frustrated, and with more and more talent opening accounts on Kick, there’s been rampant speculation that Kai might be next to join their ranks. Thus far, Kai hasn’t officially joined the platform… but fans will just have to wait and see if he ends up making the switch. Kai Cenat to stream on Instagram with Gervonta Davis after Twitch ban That’s not all; Kai has also claimed that he’s going live on Instagram tonight, April 17, alongside American professional boxer Gervonta Davis for what looks like an exciting collaboration and possible announcement. With the influencer-boxing fad becoming more popular than ever following Creator Clash 2, there’s no telling what Kai has up his sleeve next following his recent ban from Twitch.

Kai Cenat and KSI leave small Twitch streamer speechless after gifting subs – Dexerto
Kai Cenat and KSI leave small Twitch streamer speechless after gifting subs Twitch streamer Kai Cenat and YouTube star KSI made a small creator’s night after generously gifting 200 subscribers to the streamer who had only one viewer. Kai Cenat has quickly become one of the fastest-growing streamers on Twitch in the last year. At the time of writing, the Twitch star sits at the top of the ladder as the most subscribed creator on the Amazon-owned platform. So far, his month-long subathon has been nothing short of chaotic. Despite being swatted on the second day, the show has gone on, and Kai has since had numerous guests appear on the broadcast. The popular streamer has even gone as far as to have trained dogs attack him — all for content. Now, alongside YouTuber KSI, the pair made a small creators’ night by raiding and gifting 200 subscribers to the streamer who had only one viewer. KSI and Kai Cenat gift 200 subs to small streamer During Kai’s February 18 broadcast, the Twitch star brought YouTuber, boxer and rapper KSI onto the stream. While they goofed around for the most part, the two eventually felt generous, and decided to bless other creators on the platform. The pair stumbled across a small streamer that goes by the name of ‘killerman2216’, who had only one viewer at the time, before suddenly hundreds of Kai Cenat viewers began to tune in. It was then that Kai began gifting subscribers to the small streamer. The Twitch star started by gifting just 100 subscribers, which left the small creator completely speechless. As the gifted subs began to pour in, KSI too was left lost for words: “He’s sh***ing him oh my god,” the YouTuber said. “Oh my god this is amazing.” Kai then followed up by gifting another 100 subscribers to killerman, who by that point had close to 2000 viewers watching the stream live. It’s fair to say killerman was left in awe by the two influencers’ generosity — who gained over 1000 new followers.

How to watch Kai Cenat’s 30-day subathon: Date, stream & more – Dexerto
How to watch Kai Cenat’s 30-day subathon: Date, stream & more YouTube: Kai Cenat LiveKai Cenat has just announced his highly-anticipated subathon, revealing that he’ll be streaming for a grand total of 30 days without stopping. Here’s how to tune in. Kai Cenat is one of Twitch’s most-subscribed streamers with a massive fanbase, boasting over 3.7 million followers on the purple streaming platform. His fame has spread far and wide from the realm of social media, even earning him attention from major celebrities like rapper Blueface and music artist SZA. Now, he’s taking on a major feat of endurance after revealing an upcoming subathon that will last nearly a month long. How to watch Kai Cenat’s 30-day subathon On January 31, Kai uploaded a humorous skit to Twitter and YouTube announcing that he’ll be streaming for a 30-day period. Kai’s subathon will begin on February 1, 2023, and will likely end on March 2, 2023. The stream starts at 6 PM EST / 3 PM PT. Fans can watch Kai’s subathon over on his official Twitch channel. He humorously named his event the ‘Mafiathon,’ and users are already pumped about this new chapter of content in the streamer’s career. What is a subathon? A subathon is generally defined as a type of live broadcast where, for every subscription a streamer receives, a set amount of time is added onto their stream. Perhaps one of the most famous subathons belongs to Ludwig, who famously streamed for 31 days back in 2021. However, the record for the longest-running subathon to date goes to Emilycc, who has streamed for 446 days and counting as of our last report. Although Kai Cenat’s stream has a set time limit, it’s clear that his fanbase is excited about this upcoming event, which was allegedly scheduled for some time in January before he was unexpectedly banned on January 26. For now, it looks like he’s kicking off February with a bang — and there’s no telling what special challenges or moments he’ll include in the stream like Ludwig’s Dreamhack subathon, where he spent 50 hours trapped in a glass box.

Kai Cenat accused of “not cooperating” with authorities over alleged rape by his friend – Dexerto
Kai Cenat accused of “not cooperating” with authorities over alleged rape by his friend Twitch: Kai CenatTwitch streamer Kai Cenat has been accused of “not cooperating” with authorities after his friend alleged she was raped at a party he invited her to. On January 6, TikTok creator Jovi Pena came forward with allegations of rape, alleging she was assaulted at a party that Kai Cenat had invited her to. According to Pena, the Twitch star advised her to go upstairs and sleep in one of the rooms instead of leaving the party — where she was then raped. Furthermore, the TikToker called out Kai, accusing him of avoiding her messages and not helping identify the man who assaulted her. In response, the 21-year-old streamer claimed he refused to speak on the situation due to the advice he received from his legal team — who instructed him to avoid talking to anybody. Kai Cenat accused of “not cooperating” with police In a series of tweets on January 13, Jovi further accused Kai of “not cooperating” with the authorities, despite the Twitch star claiming he was the one who notified the police about the allegations. “If everyone is so innocent why are they refusing to get questioned,” she wrote. “Why is nobody actually cooperating w/ the police but me? It’s so easy to pretend to help. it’s so easy to pretend to be a good person. As long as people keep lying about what’s happening. I’ll keep saying the truth.” She continued: “Maybe he shouldn’t lie about my situation. that shit is allowed to piss me off. Maybe he should speak about anything else if he doesn’t wanna help. If nobody is helping me with my case but acting like they are yeah it’s allowed to p**s me off.” A fan responded, questioning the TikToker on what Kai is lying about, noting that he claimed he was the one who notified the authorities. Pena hit back: “I got the authorities involved. Nobody else did. Nobody. If people keep lying imma keep clearing sh*t up. nobody has cooperated with law enforcement and it’s pissing me the f**k off. The TikToker has since deleted her Twitter account, along with her TikTok page which had over 120,000 followers. Kai is yet to respond to the new claims.

Kai Cenat admits he has no idea what MoistCr1TiKal is saying: “Can you dumb it down?” – Dexerto
Kai Cenat admits he has no idea what MoistCr1TiKal is saying: “Can you dumb it down?” Twitch: Kai CenatKai Cenat made a very unusual request while watching a MoistCr1TiKal video, as the Twitch sensation asked Moist to “dumb down” his vocabulary in the next video so that Kai could understand him. Kai Cenat quickly became one of the biggest stars on Twitch over the last couple of months, breaking Ludwig’s previous record and becoming the most-subscribed streamer on the platform, amassing over 300,000 subscribers. Being on top of the streaming world means having to keep up with everything relating to your colleagues from the content creator space. Kai was doing just that, catching up on the feud between Cr1TiKal and Sneako before he had to pause the video and make a personal request to Charlie. “Not gonna lie Charlie, imma be completely honest here. This video’s great, your vocabulary is just too strong for me, I can’t translate certain s**t that you say. Next video, can you please, can you please dumb it down,” said Kai during his March 18 stream while running out of breath, laughing in between words. Kai Cenat asks Moist to use simpler vocabulary in his videos The request seems like it was not meant to take too seriously, as even Kai himself was laughing in the midst of voicing it. Most reacting to the clip reacted so, simply joining in and poking fun at the situation. “Mf said “reprehensible” and kai is out of breath, we’re doomed,” said one user of r/LivestreamFail. Another instead issued a challenge to Kai, trying to convince him to read something on a live stream, writing: “one page of Harry Potter, that’s all we’re asking for. Hell, you can read Cat in the Hat.” Kai’s chat was mocking him for making the request and calling him a “dumbass” or simply saying “NYC education,” referencing the streamer’s place of birth. Many members of Kai’s chat believe Charlie to be quite easy to understand and follow during his commentary videos.

Kaceytron hits out at Ninja after Lady Gaga asks who he is – Dexerto
Kaceytron hits out at Ninja after Lady Gaga asks who he is KaceyTron, Instagram / NinjaTyler ‘Fortnite, but it looks like in doing so he’s ruffled the feathers of another Twitch streamer. The American singer songwriter has taken to Twitter to ask her 75 million followers on Twitter what Fortnite is, after seeing that the game had gone viral once again following the release of Chapter 2, and after Ninja offered to link up with her for a few games, she even asked who he was. Having seen the interaction between the pair, Kacey ‘Kaceytron‘ Caviness, who regularly streams on Twitch, decided to take a shot at the popular Fortnite streamer by digging up something from his past. Kaceytron decided to make her own mark on the popular thread, just like hundreds of other users, and sent her own description of Ninja. “He’s one of the most popular streamers on the internet and he doesn’t support women,” she said in a tweet on October 16. “As he has publicly announced, he will never duo stream with any woman, I guess unless it benefits him.” He’s one of the most popular streamers on the internet and he doesn’t support women as he has publicly announced he will never duo stream with any woman, I guess unless it benefits him. — kaceytron (@kaceytron) October 16, 2019 The comments sparked a number of other users to make similar comments and while Ninja never responded directly to Kaceytron’s tweet, he did defend himself against people making similar remarks about his stance on streaming with women. “This interview was done in a bathroom hallway at a party years ago,” he said, responding to an article published by the BBC titled ‘Fortnite: Ninja won’t play with female gamers’ from August 2018. One user linked it in the Twitter thread. He added: “I have played with multiple women since then, and it got completely blown out of proportion. But gotta love people like this who don’t even watch me pulling an old article to prove a point.” This interview was done in a bathroom hallway at a party years ago. I have played with multiple women since then, and it got completely blown out of proportion. But gotta love people like this who don’t even watch me pulling an old article to prove a point. — Ninja (@Ninja) October 16, 2019 Whether or not Blevins will link up with Lady Gaga in the future to play Fortnite remains to be seen, but given that he’s already teamed with the likes of Drake, Neymar Jr and others with mainstream celebrity status in the past, you just can’t rule it out.

Kaceytron slams “racist” YouTuber stealing her content: “go and die” – Dexerto
Kaceytron slams “racist” YouTuber stealing her content: “go and die” KaceytronPopular Twitch streamer Kacey ‘Kaceytron’ Caviness did not hold back as she slammed a YouTuber who she claims was abusive towards her and stole her content. Kaceytron boasts just under half a million followers on the streaming platform, with her content recently focusing on her weight loss journey. However, one YouTube channel, The Chronic Gamer, is allegedly targeting Kaceytron for her weight, among other things. Caviness has accused the YouTuber of being homophobic and racist, as well as stealing her content and ‘restreaming’ it on YouTube. 600Kaceytron’s May 24 stream focused largely on the behavior of The Chronic Gamer, as she described to her fans how he was stealing her content and sending his fans over to abuse her, and her followers. Encouraging her viewers to report his stream, she explained “some guy on YouTube is harassing me and restreaming my content. I’m just messaging YouTube and filing a DMCA report. Like you’re not gonna use me for content you disgusting fat incel, who hates gays and black people.” The actions of both Kacey and her fans quickly resulted in The Chronic Gamer’s stream being taken down, much to the delight of the streamer herself. She then launched into a scathing tirade of the YouTuber: “It’s down? He’s down? Oh my god, finally. Oh my god, finally! Fuck you, you fat, disgusting, racist, homophobic piece of shit, go and die.” Kacey explained that YouTube does not allow any form of hate speech, arguing that his channel should be removed. Kacey since clarified that she was not threatening the YouTuber – an action which violates Twitch’s terms of service and could see her end up with a ban – but merely that she was telling him to “go somewhere and die and leave me alone.” Chronic is yet to publicly respond, but his Twitter account was recently suspended.

Kaceytron facing multiple social bans amid beef with Dream & Minecraft stans – Dexerto
Kaceytron facing multiple social bans amid beef with Dream & Minecraft stans Dream/KaceytronTwitch streamer Kaceytron is facing possible bans across Twitter, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram after Minecraft streamer Dream’s stans have bombarded her with reports. Earlier in March 2021, Kacey tweeted calling for people to hold their favorite content creators to the same standards they would anyone else. Kacey also said that they went digging through years-old posts to try and weaponize things she had said against her as a result. She was, of course, talking about the rabid Minecraft fans that follow creators such as Dream, and while he himself addressed some of the drama, the problems don’t appear to be over for Kaceytron. On April 8, over two weeks since the drama initially kicked off, Kacey is still facing the harsh wrath of the Minecraft community, revealing that she’s being bombarded with reports across all of her social channels. This includes her Instagram account being disabled. “This mob mentality fandom is unreal,” she said of the “Minecraft stans,” mentioning the level that they are going to to attack her. “The MC stans got my Instagram disabled now,” she added. “They also got my TikTok disabled which I was able to appeal. They have been spam reporting my Twitter and Twitch account as well.” The MC stans got my Instagram disabled now. They also got my Tiktok disabled which I was able to appeal. They have been spam reporting my Twitter and twitch account as well. This mob mentality fandom is unreal. — kaceytron (@kaceytron) April 8, 2021 It seems that these stans are simply mass-reporting all of her individual channels in an attempt to get them shut down. As they will be receiving hundreds of reports, the pages will be automatically disabled before facing a manual review, so hopefully this won’t end up being permanent. It’s not yet clear what the outcome will be for Kaceytron, Dream, and all of his stans, but she’ll be hoping the wave of hate ends sooner rather than later.

Kaceytron hits out at “basement dwelling incels” celebrating Twitch ban – Dexerto
Kaceytron hits out at “basement dwelling incels” celebrating Twitch ban Instagram: KaceytronforeverKaceytron has hit out at the “basement dwelling incels” celebrating her recent two-day Twitch ban. For quite a few years now, Twitch streamer Kaceytron has grown in popularity with her fans. Amassing over half a million followers on her channel, an average of over 400 of them tune in to her streams regularly. On June 26, 2023, Kacey was hit with a ban on Twitch for what appears to be a copyright issue with something she was displaying on her broadcast. She quickly took to Twitter to speak out about the ban, and she doesn’t have any regret for showing whatever got her channel temporarily taken down. Kaceytron gets banned on Twitch, speaks out shortly after Just after midnight, Kacey’s stream was taken down and her channel was temporarily removed. Instead of the usual profile for the female creator, viewers are met with one of Twitch’s messages. “Content from this channel has been removed at the request of the copyright holder,” it reads. Shortly after her channel was taken down, Kaceytron took to her Twitter page to speak out about the ban. “And ill do it again,” she said in a post alongside a gif. In a second tweet, she called out the “basement dwelling incels” celebrating her ban from the platform. “The visceral reaction my two-day ban has gotten from basement dwelling incels who… have no idea what they’re talking about, brings me great joy. Judge me by my enemies,” Kacey commented. Being that it’s a two-day ban, fans of the female streamer won’t have long to wait until they can watch Kacey on Twitch yet again. Assuming she doesn’t opt to stream on another platform like Kick or YouTube in the meantime, that is.

Kaceytron banned on Twitch over “insensitive” coronavirus comment – Dexerto
Kaceytron banned on Twitch over “insensitive” coronavirus comment Twitch: Kaceytron / TwitchTwitch partner ‘Kaceytron’ has been indefinitely suspended on Twitch over an “insensitive” coronavirus comment the Amazon-owned platform deemed to be “hateful conduct.” Kaceytron has been one of the biggest names in the Twitch Just Chatting section for years. Since starting up her streaming career in 2012, she’s attracted hundreds of thousands of fans. However, one statement made on stream has seen her taken off the platform, with the streamer receiving an “indefinite” suspension over “hateful conduct.” Kaceytron was banned on March 17 over comments she made a week earlier regarding the coronavirus pandemic. Appearing on the Rajj podcast on March 11, the streamer made a comment that fell flat with the other participants. “Yes [we would kiss] and we would leave quarantine and try to spread it as much as possible because the world would be a better place without old and poor people,” Kaceytron said, answering a question on quarantines. When the other podcast participants reacted negatively to her bold statement, she doubled down, adding that she “said what [she] said.” Twitch’s reason for the ban was for “engaging in hateful conduct and threats of violence against a person or group of people,” which is usually attached with bans of up to 30 days. However, Twitch took decisive action, deplatforming the streamer indefinitely, with the only form of recourse being a ban appeal. “Any hateful conduct is considered a zero-tolerance violation,” the platform’s guidelines state. “We will take action on all accounts associated with such conduct with a range of enforcement actions, including and up to indefinite suspension.” After the ban hammer was laid down, Kaceytron issued an apology to her fans. “I’ve been indefinitely suspended because of an insensitive comment I made last week,” the streamer said. “I don’t condone hatred towards any person and it was a poor reflection of my character. I’m just trying to take this all in right now. “It was a comment I made on the Rajj show that was uploaded to LSF [/r/livestreamfail]. Obviously it was a joke but that doesn’t excuse it. It was in poor taste and my fault.” I’ve been indefinitely suspended because of an insensitive comment I made lastweek. I don’t condone hatred towards any person and it was a poor reflection of my character. I’m just trying to take this all in right now. I ask that my audience please remain calm and rational. pic.twitter.com/EOu0pn4vF8 — kaceytron (@kaceytron) March 17, 2020 Kaceytron had over 500,000 followers as of March 17. Stats site TwitchTracker also logged the streamer as having 1,452 active subscribers at the moment, which is worth approximately $7,000 a month. Kaceytron will no longer have access to her Twitch account unless her ban appeal is successful. She has not stated as to whether she will appeal or swap platforms..

Kaceytron claims Trainwrecks is “blackballing” her on Twitch – Dexerto
Kaceytron claims Trainwrecks is “blackballing” her on Twitch Veteran Twitch streamer Kacey ‘Kaceytron’ Caviness fired shots at Tyler ‘TrainwrecksTV’ Niknam over twitter, claiming, among other things, that he is ‘blackballing’ her from the community. Kaceytron is one of the most experienced and well-known streamers on Twitch, having broadcasted on the platform since 2013. She’s focused around League of Legends and IRL [In-Real-Life] content and often collaborates with other streamers. The American was commonly seen on collaborative streams, such as the RajjPatel talent show, but has been missing them lately and called out Trainwrecks as the reason behind this. In a short series of now-deleted tweets, Kaceytron claimed that Tyler was attempting to push her out of the community. “If you’re going to blackball me from the community; not host talent shows alongside me, not host channels that I’m on… admit that [you’re] doing it because you’re threatened by what I know about you” She then moved on to slamming his Twitch career in a merciless tweet: “[You] built your whole community off of putting down others… and can’t handle anyone that isn’t a “yes man”, the literal definition of hypocritical pu**y.” Before finally adding an additional accusation that his mods control the LivestreamFails Reddit and that he “manipulates votes.” It would seem that there is some bad blood between the two and that Kaceytron has a bone to pick with TrainwrecksTV. Some fans have pointed out that Kacey has been missing out on many collaborative streams, but with no real way to know what’s happening behind the scenes, all they can do is wait for an official response from one of the hosts. So far other Twitch streamers, as well as Tyler, have not commented on these tweets. Although, if any new information does come to light we will be sure to update this article.

K-Pop star slams Delta Air Lines after “absurd” seat downgrade – Dexerto
K-Pop star slams Delta Air Lines after “absurd” seat downgrade Unsplash: JC Gellidon / Instagram: hyeri_0609K-Pop star Hyeri has called out Delta Air Lines after they allegedly downgraded her seat from first class to economy without the offer of a refund. Lee Hye-ri, known as Hyeri, is a South Korean actress, singer, and TV personality who rose to fame as a member of the K-Pop group, Girl’s Day. Earning the nickname the “Nation’s Little Sister,” it’s no surprise to find out that Hyeri has an incredibly huge and passionate fanbase who will always have her back. This is something Delta Air Lines recently found out after Hyeri slammed them on Instagram for allegedly downgrading her seat without a refund, unleashing an onslaught of backlash against the company. “I made my reservation one and a half months ago and even selected a seat in advance, but they downgraded me to Economy Class, saying there were no First Class seats available,” Hyeri wrote. Calling it the “most absurd experience,” she went on to say, “The airline told me to take the next flight if I didn’t like the seat and did not even give me a refund. Haha. I booked two seats, how could both be downgraded?” Many rushed to show their support for Hyeri and praised her for shining a light on what they claimed was a common practice for Delta Air Lines. “First class to economy downgrade without a refund of difference is insane… Delta is known for overbooking and treating passengers like shit,” one person commented on a Reddit thread. “Good for her for using her platform to put them on blast.” Delta Air Lines has since released a statement saying, “Usually, in these instances, we ask if passengers would like to fly on the next flight in which First Class seats are available. If passengers choose to sit in Economy, we refund the difference in price.” They also claimed to be in the process of refunding Hyeri’s lost money, apologizing for “any inconvenience caused to the customer.” Check out all the latest entertainment stories on our page here.

K9Kuro admits six-figure tax debt led to VShojo debut – Dexerto
K9Kuro admits six-figure tax debt led to VShojo debut K9KuroVShojo’s newest member K9Kuro has admitted that one of the big reasons he joined was how helpful Ironmouse and the agency’s CEO were in helping him manage his taxes after accumulating a £350,000 debt. VShojo has been growing rapidly, with Geega debuting on September 2 and Kuro Kurenai following on September 30. These new additions are the first since the mass exodus in April 2023, which saw Nyanners, Silvervale, and Veibae all leave the company, opting against renewing their contracts. Now the first male VShojo member has revealed why he ended up joining the group despite originally planning to be independent. Ironmouse and VShojo’s CEO helped K9Kuro ease tax debt Speaking on stream, K9Kuro admitted his difficult tax situation was the initial trigger for his eventual VShojo debut as it pushed him to reach out to Ironmouse for advice. “I wasn’t originally planning on joining VShojo. I was planning to start my own thing for a long while but things fell into place. I was in a really bad situation in regard to taxes. I still kinda am but I was so f**ked up. There was around £350k in tax worth that I needed to take care of,” the VShojo member admitted. K9Kuro continued: “I didn’t know what to do. In my current situation at the time, I wasn’t offered any support about it so I outsourced it and I asked my friends what I could do. One of those friends was Mousey, and Mousey was like ‘I think I know someone who can help you with that’.” From there Ironmouse got K9Kuro in contact with Gunrun, VShojo’s CEO. Gunrun offered Kuro advice on how to fix his tax situation, regularly checking in to make sure he was okay over a period of four months. “You set off a chain of events so many months ago. My life would be so different without you. I can’t believe one conversation set off so many chains of events. You went out of your way to help me, and so did Gunrun. I really owe you guys a lot,” Kuro said speaking on Ironmouse and the VShojo CEO. Since debuting K9Kuro has already accrued 100,000 Twitch followers and over 160,000 Twitter followers. The new VShojo member has committed to streaming every day from 9 am UTC for seven to eight hours.

K-Pop band BTS becomes one of first accounts followed by Twitter – Dexerto
K-Pop band BTS becomes one of first accounts followed by Twitter Twitter, @BTS_twt / TwitterTwitter’s official account decided to follow its platform’s first users and, in a move that made millions of fans happy, decided to give one of their first follows to a K-Pop superstar boy band: BTS. BTS, or the Bangtan Boys, have seven members and countless fans, or stans, across the world. The BTS ARMY seems to grow larger every single day and now can count Twitter’s official account among its latest recruits. With over 59 million followers, Twitter’s official account has some popularity itself (the platform, meanwhile, has over 300 million users). While the account’s ratio was an absurd zero following, 59-plus million followers, the “Blue Bird” decided to change that and add to their feed a little. After asking the masses who they should make their very first followed accounts, a stan account with under 1,000 followers suggested BTS. The account quickly took that advice, making the K-Pop supergroup one of its only nine accounts followed (and becoming one of the boys’ 33-plus million followers in the process). https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/1364609734565912576 If you’ve spent any time at all on Twitter, chances are that you’ve seen mention of BTS. Most prominently, you’ve likely seen “fan cam” montages of the members or the entire group. Even if you mute “BTS” or “K-Pop,” there’s no guarantee you can avoid their avid fandom as the so-named ARMY will share content from their favorite members, no matter the context. And, yes, that content isn’t always about singing. Sometimes it’s just footage of two members treating their plushies differently, as in a video of Jimin and Jungkook that has been viewed over a million times on Twitter. https://twitter.com/jikookheart/status/1364566149778841600 By following BTS, Twitter both gets to enjoy some of the boy band’s content directly from them — while simultaneously supporting possibly the most popular group on the entire platform. But it should be known that this is no play for clout, as BTS are the only verified account that Twitter is following. Of the nine accounts Twitter decided to follow, BTS are the only ones with over one million followers. The rest are composed of five individuals (a couple who are fan accounts themselves), one nonprofit animal shelter and, in a relatable move, two dog accounts — one for a Corgi and one for a Shih Tzu.

K-Pop fans try to get 100 Thieves’ Froste banned after BTS comment – Dexerto
K-Pop fans try to get 100 Thieves’ Froste banned after BTS comment Instagram: Froste / Flicker: LG, Wikimedia Commons[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]100 Thieves and ‘The Mob’ member Erind ‘Froste’ Puka didn’t expect to wake up to some K-Pop fans trying to get him banned from social media over something he said about popular Korean music group ‘BTS’ — but that’s exactly what happened the morning of September 21. K-Pop fans are known for being very supportive of their favorite bands, with the BTS “Army” being one of the most enthusiastic fanbases on the internet. Known for posting fancams of their favorite artists under Twitter threads asking for users to stream their music, it comes as little surprise that some stans are very passionate about their hobby — so much so, that they will defend their favorite bands to the ends of the earth. Froste, a noted streamer and member of both The Mob and 100 Thieves, poked fun at uber-popular K-Pop group BTS in a Twitter response. “JungleC**k and Jimmy just called me (we’re close like that) and they said they hate all you stans,” he tweeted. https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1307946668906688513 What seemed like a playful jab to his own followers was something that fans of the band didn’t take lightly. “They don’t call us army for nothing, we’ll all pull up on that mf,” one supporter replied. https://twitter.com/Suga93_armyy/status/1307978620514832389?s=20 Even getting the topic “Froste report” to trend across Twitter, some BTS fans attempted to remove his account from the social media platform — but that’s far from the end of this tale. Froste even appeared to confirm that someone had attempted to hack into his account, seeming to hint that it may have been a member of the “Army” who was responsible for doing so. That’s not all; some angry stans even emailed one of Froste’s sponsors, G FUEL, asking that he be removed from partnering with the company for “enabling racism and xenophobia on his big platform,” as well as “ridiculing the fandom and creating racially charged tweets that mocked and whitewashed the names of the [BTS] band members.” It appears as though this has failed to deter Froste, though – as he still continued to make fun of what is one of the biggest fanbases on the entire internet, drawing in a ton of backlash as a result.

Jynxzi announces Elden Ring marathon stream that will last up to one week – Dexerto
Jynxzi announces Elden Ring marathon stream that will last up to one week Instagram: jynxzi / FromSoftwareJynxzi has announced he will be marathoning Elden Ring until he beats the game, expecting the stream to last up to a week. Since Kai Cenat’s Elden Ring stream marathon, the game has seen a monumental resurgence in popularity on Twitch. Now, it looks like other creators have taken note and are looking to cash in, with Twitch streamer and YouTuber Nicholas ‘Jynxzi‘ Stewart revealing he is following suit. Just like Cenat before him, Jynxzi has decided to play the game until he can beat it — and subsequently won’t end his stream until that time comes. In a Twitch clip posted to X (formerly Twitter) by user ‘scubaryan_‘, Jynxzi revealed he had a “big announcement” to share. “I am doing an Elden Ring marathon,” he said. “I am not ending the stream until I beat Elden Ring… it might take a long time, bro, but I’m not ending the stream until I beat Elden Ring.” The marathon will begin Monday June 16, with Jynxzi estimating it could last up to seven days — though he suspected it would be less. “You guys have been telling me to play Elden Ring for the past two years, so I’m excited.” The streamer told viewers that he would be “sleeping on camera” and “showering on camera,” though he assured that no genitalia would be shown; “We’re going to have literally a full set up.” Reacting to news of the upcoming marathon on X, one viewer theorized that Jynxzi “saw how well that went for Kai and now he wants to do it.” Multiple people also pointed to Kai for starting “a trend with Elden Ring”, and one revealed Jynxzi’s chat had been “spamming” the streamer that he couldn’t beat the game “faster than Kai”, making it appear this marathon announcement was Jynxzi’s response. Kai Cenat beat Elden Ring after nearly seven days straight, defeating Elden Beast at 166 hours and 52 minutes. Throughout his gameplay, he also amassed a total of 1,701 deaths. It remains to be seen whether Jynxzi will complete the game in a shorter period or with fewer deaths.

The pop group was initially based around four League of Legends characters, Akali, Ahri, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa. But, Riot revealed they would be featuring even more members, as seen with the new character, Seraphine, and shared plans to add more artists into the mix. Their latest roster announcement came as a welcome surprise to many K/DA fans as it was revealed that the original cast of Madison Beer, Jaira Burns, and (G)-I-DLE’s SOYEON and MIYEON would all be included. However, there were plenty of new collaborations and one of the most exciting ones listed included a track with the incredibly popular Korean girl group TWICE, who will be featured on the upcoming track “I’LL SHOW YOU.” K/DA [ALL OUT] OFFICIAL EP ROSTER // @G_I_DLE @beamiller @wolftyla @madisonbeer @lexliu @jairaburns @seradotwav @kimpetras @JYPETWICE and Bekuh BOOM#KDA #ALLOUT pic.twitter.com/nZMSS8mPst — K/DA (@KDA_MUSIC) October 16, 2020 With TWICE consisting of nine members in total, it is quite likely that they will play a massive role in the upcoming release, alongside fellow artists Bekuk BOOM and Annika Wells.

Juvee Blue Raspberry review: Bold flavor with a light touch – Dexerto
Juvee Blue Raspberry review: Bold flavor with a light touch Juvee / 100 ThievesJuvee is bursting back onto the scene with a brand-new flavor, Blue Raspberry — but does it live up to the competition? In October 2022, popular esports and lifestyle brand 100 Thieves launched its very own energy drink called ‘Juvee,’ meant to offer a refreshing, ‘rejuvenating’ alternative to other energy drink brands. At launch, Juvee had three flavors: Watermelon Lime, Kiwi Strawberry, and Tropical Crush. Now, a fourth flavor is entering the fray, but it has some big shoes to fill. On Friday, March 3, Juvee officially revealed its next flavor, Blue Raspberry. This is the latest flavor to enter the Juvee family, and 100 Thieves members and fans alike were quick to express their hype for the new product. However, Juvee is far from the only influencer-related energy drink brand to have a Blue Raspberry flavor. Dexerto was sent a few cans of the new bev to try on for size — and it’s safe to say that it’s a decent rival for other brands like PRIME Energy. Blue Raspberry Juvee vs PRIME: A softer take on a bold flavor At first sip, Juvee’s Blue Raspberry delivers an explosion of sweetness right on the tongue. It’s definitely the classic Blue Razz flavor that we all know and love, but it’s not as in-your-face as other brands’ take on the fruity concoction. When compared to PRIME’s flavor of the same name, we can say with confidence that Juvee is the softer of the two. It’s also less calorie intensive, boasting 5 cals in comparison to PRIME’s 10 cals. Juvee also has more caffeine compared to its influencer counterpart, having 127.5 mg vs PRIME’s 200 mg. Both drinks have zero sugars, making them fairly guilt-free while also curbing those sugar cravings with a super-sweet flavor. All in all, Juvee’s Blue Raspberry is definitely a refreshing, lighter alternative to PRIME, with more caffeine to get you through those late-night gaming or study sessions. Fans can cop a 12-pack of Juvee on Go Puff or the official Juvee website. For more drink reviews, see our take on FaZe x GHOST Energy’s FaZe Pop flavor, which made its debut last month.

Sodapoppin shuts down theory that GreekGodx is playing a character – Dexerto
Sodapoppin shuts down theory that GreekGodx is playing a character While on the Hatewatchers podcast hosted on DKane’s Twitch channel, Sodapoppin shut down the theory that GreekGodx’s radical takes are a part of a character he plays for stream. Chance ‘Sodapoppin’ Morris was the first guest to appear on the new Hatewatchers podcast hosted by streamers DKane and RazorATX. During the two-hour episode, Sodapoppin dived into what it’s like being one of Twitch’s largest long-time streamers. During this, he was also asked about his former close friend and housemate GreekGodx. Dimitri ‘Greek’ Antonatos rose to popularity playing League of Legends, but recently became the target of intense scrutiny after spreading controversial opinions on Twitch. His views reflect that of Andrew Tate and other creators in the Manosphere. But his peers and viewers have theorized that Greek is playing a character in pursuit of clout and that the opinions he shares aren’t ones he actually holds. Sodapoppin rejects theory that Greek is playing a character RazorATX brought up the topic of GreekGodx asking Sodapoppin for his opinions. “All this stuff with Greek. He kind of took this Andrew Tate route… Do you think it’s real? Do you think it’s an act?” Soda paused before answering. “It’s unfortunately sad and real, I think. There’s things that Greek has said and done in my opinion that could justify him being dumb enough to think that doing all of this fake is good. “If he were to be faking all of these weird takes – the way he is- he’d be doing it because it’d be beneficial to him. But it’s not. I could see a world where he’s so dumb that he just doesn’t put together that it’s not working, but I don’t think that’s the case.” Soda and Greek were friends for a long time before Greek began this new arch as a streamer which prompted Razor to ask if the two still talked. Soda delivered a swift “no” before diving into a story of the last time the two “communicated”. Chance explained that, when Greek left their group, they had kicked him off of the phone plan. However, Greek had reached out to ask for help getting his phone working again. Soda decided to be an adult and help Greek, only to later find out he was not actually talking to Greek. “He actually got someone else to pretend to be him to talk to me to help fix his phone, and I didn’t know that I wasn’t talking to him,” Soda shared.

Justin Timberlake spotted working in Target in viral TikTok Instagram: Justin Timberlake. TikTok: Douganthony‘Cry Me a River’ singer Justin Timberlake seems to have been spotted working in Target in a TikTok that is beginning to go viral. The reason why Timberlake is working in Target is unknown, though some in the comments believed the move might be a publicity stunt. A video, posted by user Douglas Anthony (@dougyanthony), shows Timberlake appears to be working behind the till in a parker coat and hat. The video is captioned “Justin Timberlake said post this for the naysayers.” There was also a hashtag used in the video which reads “#HesaidnohateandhewillstartaTikTok.” Timberlake’s appearance in the TikTok seems to be a joke both because of Timberlake’s lack of a work uniform and that Douglas and Timberlake are friends. In the video, Timberlake can be seen putting a pack of chewing gum back on the shelf after scanning it for Douglas. In other videos on Douglas’ account, Timberlake appears in two videos. Timberlake currently doesn’t have his own TikTok account.

Timberlake is a regular visitor to Colorado, particularly during the ski season, with the singer and wife Jessica Biel being spotted in the state several times. Justin Timberlake is the best performing male artist on Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 and is known for his hit singles ‘Cry Me A River’, ‘Suit & Tie’, ‘Mirrors’ and ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’.

Timberlake has recently gotten into hot water over his relationship with Britney Spears and previous allegations he’d made that Spears cheated on him. This happened after a documentary by the New York Times was released and Timberlake later apologized.

Justin Timberlake shuts off Instagram comments after Britney Spears autobiography backlash – Dexerto
Justin Timberlake shuts off Instagram comments after Britney Spears autobiography backlash Instagram, Justin TimberlakeJustin Timberlake shut off his Instagram comments after backlash regarding Britney Spears’s autobiography. Justin Timberlake has faced a torrent of angry comments following the release of Britney Spears’ new memoir. In this tell-all book, she accused Justin of cheating on her, among other things. “There were a couple of times during our relationship when I knew Justin had cheated on me… Especially because I was so infatuated and so in love, I let it go, even though the tabloids seemed determined to rub my face in it.” She also says that Timberlake encouraged her to get an abortion when she fell pregnant: “I always expected us to have a family together one day… But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.” Spears also mentions that Timberlake eventually ended their relationship via text message, before going on to paint himself as the victim in his song ‘Cry Me a River’, in which he talks about Spears’ cheating. Timberlake not listening to comments anymore The backlash has been so great that it’s led Timberlake to shut off his Instagram comments. His X/Twitter account is live, however, and filled with accusations. Following a recent post from the singer, one user commented: “You ruined Britney…You can’t blame your age at the time; because you were old enough to know right and wrong. We all know Britney didn’t cheat on you. You cheated on your wife. I’m glad the truth is coming out. You’ve only ever cared about yourself.” Another states plainly: “You wanted everyone to grow. We grew to despise you.” Some are more venomous, with user NATA GAL writing: “You’re such an asshole. You are despicable and talentless. You ruined a woman’s life and killed a child. Disgusting excuse for a human being.” Justin Timberlake, who celebrated his 10-year wedding anniversary with actress Jesica Biel during the time of the allegations, is yet to respond.

Justin Bieber mocks viral Tom Cruise TikTok without realizing it’s a deepfake – Dexerto
Justin Bieber mocks viral Tom Cruise TikTok without realizing it’s a deepfake Instagram: justinbieber / TikTok: deeptomcruiseJustin Bieber is the latest to be fooled by a strangely accurate deepfake of Tom Cruise that’s going viral on TikTok, mocking the star on his Instagram story without realizing he’s not the real Tom Cruise. The internet was astounded back in February when a deepfake account of actor Tom Cruise started going hugely viral on TikTok. The account, appropriately named ‘deeptomcruise,’ features a startlingly realistic deepfake, and their uncanny impressions of the actor are so good that they even managed to fool thousands into believing Cruise had really started his own TikTok account. He now has over three million followers on the account and has continued to upload videos ever since, with new viewers being tricked by the accuracy on a regular basis. But the latest to fall victim to this deepfake is none other than singer Justin Bieber, who was well and truly fooled by the account. On October 7, Bieber uploaded a video of the deepfake Tom playing the guitar to his Instagram story, along with the caption: “@tomcruise I’m impressed with your guitar skills. But you could still catch these hands my boy. While ur playin a tune not givin a damn, I’m over here thinkin about this 1st round knockout.” He even then went on to cover the song that ‘Tom’ was singing in his original video, putting a spin on the lyrics to fit his “interpretation of @tomcruise talking to his lighting guy Danny.” But after all that, it seems that someone finally told Justin that the person in the video he’s mocking isn’t actually the real Tom Cruise, as he then uploaded the message: “That’s not really Tom Cruise? Lol, oh well, still hilarious.” Fans found the whole situation hilarious, as Bieber definitely isn’t the only person to have been fooled by the incredibly accurate deepfake.

Justin Timberlake faces backlash following claims that he “weaponized” his relationship with Britney Spears – Dexerto
Justin Timberlake faces backlash following claims that he “weaponized” his relationship with Britney Spears Instagram: Britney Spears/Justin TimberlakeFans on Twitter have turned on Justin Timberlake after ‘Framing Britney Spears’, the explosive FX documentary made by the New York Times, shed light on his complicated relationships with Britney Spears and Janet Jackson. The documentary alleges that following the end of Timberlake and Spears’ relationship, Justin “weaponized” public perception of Britney’s fidelity in “a pure male revenge fantasy.” The film draws attention to Timberlake’s 2002 music video ‘Cry Me a River’, which shows the ex-NSYNC frontman getting revenge on a Britney Spears lookalike. Spears’ 2003 interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer is also explored in the documentary, wherein Spears is grilled over cheating rumors following Timberlake’s video. Sawyer asks Spears in the interview: “He’s going on television looking pretty upset. You broke his heart, you did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering. What did you do?” A 2003 radio interview between Justin and Hot 97 FM was also mentioned, wherein Timberlake and the presenters joked about him “f***ing” his ex. Britney later said in her interview with Sawyer that the radio comments made her feel “violated.” TOTALLY UNEXPECTED: Justin Timberlake getting backlash as people react to new “Framing Britney Spears” doc. Doc shows how people profited from Britney’s successes and failures, manufacturing narratives suiting their purposes while silencing her. pic.twitter.com/VEvLXxgg17 — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) February 6, 2021 Following the documentary’s airing on Friday, February 5, Timberlake began to trend on Twitter, with fans demanding that he take accountability for his actions. One fan said: “I’m glad that the Britney documentary begins to reckon with the idea of how much of Justin Timberlake’s career in the aughts came at the expense of women like Britney” Another fan praised the documentary for exploring allegations into Justin’s behaviour, saying: “Justin Timberlake is just starting to trend, people are shocked to discover how much they didn’t know… like how he cheated on her initially, and how he told everyone about their private life. He has never apologized for this.” Other fans felt that his messy breakup with Britney wasn’t the only thing Timberlake had to answer for, with several of them re-evaluating his involvement in Janet Jackson’s infamous SuperBowl nip-slip in 2004. One Twitter user went as far as arguing that “the ascent of Justin Timberlake in the wreckage of both Britney Spears and Janet Jackson is really something we [as a culture] have to answer for.” What is the #FreeBritney movement? ‘Framing Britney Spears’ was commissioned after a movement by Britney Spears’ most loyal fans to get her out of her conservatorship begun to grow in momentum. Following her public breakdown in 2008, Britney has been under a conservatorship led by her father, Jamie Spears. A conservatorship is where a judge appoints an individual or organization to care for another adult who is deemed unfit to care for themselves or to manage their own finances. This means that for the last thirteen years, Jamie has been in control of Britney’s finances and several other aspects of her life. Fans have long-believed that Britney is under this conservatorship against her will. In a statement on the Free Britney website, which was founded in 2009, the group questioned whether Spears was truly incapable of caring for herself: “During the twelve years of Spears’ conservatorship she has repeatedly toured the world, released multiple albums, and worked on a variety of television shows,” the statement reads. Fans have arrived and are protesting outside the courthouse to #FreeBritney https://t.co/DtZLB31NQN — Britney Fan 🌹 (@BritneyHiatus) September 16, 2020 “Her conservators decide whether or not she works, as she cannot enter into contracts for herself because she is legally not her own person. Britney Spears needs permission from her conservators to leave her house or spend any of her own money.” Rumors that Spears was under the conservatorship against her will reached fever pitch in August 2020, where court documents obtained by People magazine revealed that Britney did not want her father to return as her conservator after he temporarily stepped down due to ill health. In a court battle to remove her father as her conservator in November, Spears’ lawyer also revealed that the popstar fears her father and will not let her perform while he remains her conservator. ‘Framing Britney Spears’ can be streamed online via Hulu.

Justin Bieber roasted after paying $1.29 million for ape NFT not even worth half – Dexerto
Justin Bieber roasted after paying $1.29 million for ape NFT not even worth half Doug PetersPop superstar Justin Bieber has been brutally roasted on social media after the 27-year-old singer splashed $1.29 million on an NFT worth a fraction of the price. Non-fungible tokens, better known as NFTs, have become one of the most controversial topics in recent memory. But whether you’re for them or against them, there’s no doubt that they’re slowly working their way into popular culture. Some high-profile figures have spoken out against NFTs, like Pokimane and Kanye West. Meanwhile, other celebrities have embraced the trend wholeheartedly, like pop-sensation Justin Bieber. The Candian star has more than 600 NFTs in his collection, and he recently added yet another for a whopping $1.29 million. But as it turns out, he drastically overpaid for the piece, much to the delight of Twitter. In an Instagram post to his half a billion followers, Bieber revealed that he had purchased Bored Ape #3001 from the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection. It joins his stash of 619 NFTs from 49 different OpenSea collections. He posted the picture of the misty-eyed ape alongside the caption, “what if you had it all, but nobody to call, maybe then you’d know me. Cuz I’ve had everything but no one’s listening and that’s just f****n lonely.” A line from his own song, Lonely. The singer spent 500 Ethereum on the digital artwork, which works out at $1.29 million. However, the market price of Bored Ape #3001 is actually around 104 ETH, nearer to $208,000. Upon seeing the post and realizing how much Bieber overplayed, the internet went nuts. Twitter, in particular, was quick to roast the ‘Sorry’ singer. View this post on Instagram “Next time you think you’re down bad, just remember that Justin Bieber just bought a floor ape for 500 ETH,” tweeted one user. “Justin Beiber really 5x the Bored Ape floor price for an ape with no rare traits. He just got finessed,” said another. “Since Justin Bieber just bought a Bored Ape NFT for over $1.3 million, I’m minting an NFT of my own drawing of a monkey. Prepare your bids.” Others felt Beiber was aware of the market value of the ape he bought, but wanted to make an impression. Yes, we all know that Justin Bieber could have bought a more expensive/rarer ape, but he doesn’t give a s**t. This is just a flex to get people talking about it. A statement piece.” NFTs have been a hot topic recently, and many are calling for them to disappear entirely. We’ve had our say on NFTs already, but while ever digital pieces are attracting buyers willing to drop this amount of cash on them, it’s hard to see them going anywhere for the time being.

Justin Bieber sends brutal message to KSI for Logan Paul rematch – Dexerto
Justin Bieber sends brutal message to KSI for Logan Paul rematch Logan Paul, Justin Bieber, KSI – InstagramYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to touch gloves on November 9 in the net’s most anticipated boxing rematch yet – but the fight isn’t just attracting the attention of YouTubers and internet celebs. The KSI vs Logan Paul rematch is making waves across the social media sphere, with boxing pros and critics alike speaking their mind in wake of the bout “going pro,” with both YouTubers foregoing headgear. However, it’s not just boxing fans stirring the pot ahead of the rematch: even major celebrities are buzzing about the fight, including Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber is no stranger to internet stars, having made friends with Logan Paul via Instagram over the summer – but one of Paul’s September Instagram posts elicited a strong reaction from the singer. Paul posted another promotional video to hype up his rematch on September 20, which featured a look inside his training regimen as well as his appearance in the September 14 press conference. Bieber had a passionate stance on the subject, writing in a comment, “Rip his head off” – obviously referencing Paul’s longtime rival and rematch opponent, KSI. View this post on InstagramNovember 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. November 9. – :boxing_glove: Get your tickets to the fight, Link In Bio – :laptop: Watch on @DAZN_USA – #KSILoganPaul2 This wouldn’t be the first time Bieber has commented on the YouTubers’ upcoming fight, either: the star likewise claimed that KSI had showed up at his house in another post of Paul’s in late August, where the internet sensation wrote, “…KSI, I’m going to break every bone in your face later this year.” 500 In fact, things weren’t always friendly between the two celebs, as Logan Paul even challenged Bieber to a boxing match after the singer called out actor Tom Cruise for a UFC match. The singer even seemed to be up for the challenge, responding to Paul’s proposition of “let’s dance” with, “I’ll fight the both of you at the same time” – although that potential fight has yet to come about months later. With both KSI and Logan Paul having only two months to train, fans and critics alike are waiting with bated breath for them to settle their beef once and for all – as is Justin Gaethje, apparently.

Justin Bieber gives bold prediction for KSI vs Logan Paul rematch – Dexerto
Justin Bieber gives bold prediction for KSI vs Logan Paul rematch YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI will settle their grudge once and for all on November 9 in the boxing ring.

Justin Bieber actually knows me, fam. That’s ridiculous! …if anything, it’s gonna be more funny when I knock out Logan. …I hope Justin Bieber’s gonna be sitting ringside so after I knock out Logan I can go up to him and be like, ‘So whose head was gonna get ripped off?’” Bieber isn’t alone in his prediction, though: in fact, experts from online betting platform Bovada claim that Logan Paul is more likely to win the fight, according to their odds. Currently, Bovada’s odds place Paul as the favorite, sitting on their money line bet at -200, while KSI ranks as the rematch’s underdog at +160. 600With America’s hometown hero looking to take the match and seal YouTube’s most bitter rivalry to date, all eyes are on these explosive internet celebrities as the clock ticks down to November 9.

Justin Bieber mocks Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast in hilarious interview – Dexerto
Justin Bieber mocks Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast in hilarious interview Hubert Boesl, dpa – AP / Don’t Hate the GeekCanadian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber has finally spoken out about controversial YouTuber Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast – well, sort of. Bieber was asked about the podcast in an interview with the Hollywood Fix on January 9 – to which he gave a fairly flippant response. “Justin, have you had a chance to check out Logan Paul’s new podcast?” an interviewer for the Fix asked. “This is the second time you’ve mentioned Logan Paul,” Bieber replied with a smile. “What’s your fantasy with Logan Paul? You love that kid, don’t you? You love that kid. You love him!” While Bieber has yet to speak further on the matter, his lack of a verbose reply could hint at his opinion on the podcast, considering that he shaded the Paul brothers during a vlog in January 2018. The singer appeared to mock the boys’ YouTube intros on a snowboarding trip with YouTuber Christian Beadles – nearly a year before his latest comment on the duo. “What’s up, vlog?,” Bieber mimicked. “It’s vlog city time, vlog time with your boys Christian and JB. It’s not what you do, it’s who you are.” Bieber was also asked to appear in a documentary series by YouTuber Shane Dawson in early November of 2018. The celeb never responded to the request, leaving Dawson (and the rest of his fanbase) to lapse in radio silence. While Paul never got Bieber’s official opinion about his podcast, his show has seen a slew of celebrity guests, with the likes of Drake & Josh actor Josh Peck and comedian Brendan Schaub making appearances, as well as other top YouTubers and internet personalities.

Captioned with the tagline: “Exactly one year ago today… I don’t support violence, but also KSI I’m going to break every bone in your face later this year.” While many fans voiced their support for the American in the comments, one particular post stood out among the rest, as the official Justin Bieber account appeared with a comment for the YouTuber. “He showed up at my crib too,” wrote the Canadian musician, whose comment received thousands of likes on the platform. 550Whether Bieber will be in attendance when KSI and Paul square off once again remains to be seen, but he won’t have to travel to England this time to see it, as it’s currently slated to take place in the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, California. Logan Paul’s Instagram post states that he’ll “break [KSI’s] face” later this year, but no official date has been set for the bout, with rumors suggesting that a press conference will take place on Tuesday, September 3.

Justin Bieber, Doja Cat & Saweetie to perform at Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight – Dexerto
Justin Bieber, Doja Cat & Saweetie to perform at Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight YouTube: Doja Cat, Justin Bieber / Instagram: Jake Paul, TrillerYouTube star Jake Paul is set to face off against Ben Askren in a boxing match on April 16, and a slew of huge names in the music industry have been announced to perform at the upcoming bout. Jake Paul is a massive name in the YouTube industry who is currently shifting his focus to a full-time fighting career. Having scored two victories as a professional boxer and one beforehand, he’s already made quite a name for himself — but he has yet to face off with a veteran fighter. This is set to change on April 16, when Paul is slated to take on former UFC star Ben Askren in the ring. While Askren is a mixed-martial artist, this upcoming bout has fans on both sides of the fence taking bets and paying attention, which accounts for the star-studded lineup they have performing for the fight. On March 17, it was revealed that some of the biggest names in the music biz would be taking part in the fight’s festivities — and we’re talking enough to render this event as a full-on concert, rather than a boxing match. View this post on Instagram Artists Doja Cat, Saweetie, Justin Bieber, the Black Keys, Diplo, and Major Lazer will be performing at Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17, a four-hour show that is being produced by actress Malea Rose and directed by the Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Bert Marcus. That’s not all; Snoop Dogg, E-40, Ice Cube, and Too $hort’s new rap group, Mt. Westmore, will be making their debut at the event — a huge development for fans of these OG hiphop artists. “This event is more like making a tentpole movie than a boxing match,” Triller Network’s co-controlling shareholder Ryan Kavanaugh said of the fight. “An all-star artist line-up with a boxing card that mixes pop culture phenoms, legends and rising stars; we are giving the world something that has never been seen or done before.” It’s no secret that Jake Paul and other YouTube boxers like to put on a bombastic event; Rick Ross also performed at KSI vs Logan Paul’s final showdown, while YG performed at Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson. With just a month left until the fight goes live, Paul has certainly sparked the interest of fans of both music and boxing, alike, certainly setting a high bar for YouTuber boxing fights in the future.

JustaMinx’s home broken into by man sleeping under her house Twitch: JustaMinxPopular Twitch streamer ‘JustaMinx’ woke up on the morning of her birthday to find that her window had been smashed, presumably by a man who’d been sleeping underneath her home. Update 11/3/2022 11:26 PT: Minx has found her other cat, Sylum, although the pet’s health has not been revealed at the time of writing. According to the streamer, she hasn’t been able to retrieve Sylum from beneath her house. Minx also shared footage of the underside of her home, where a large amount of sleeping bags and illicit materials were apparently present. Original story is as follows: JustaMinx is an Irish Twitch streamer who has returned to social media after a lengthy hiatus. She’s been active on Twitter and is getting back into the swing of streaming, all while preparing to celebrate her birthday on November 3… but the festivities were put on hold due to a frightening incident. The morning of November 3, Minx published a tweet claiming that her window had been smashed and her home broken into. JustaMinx’s cat missing after home invasion Minx’s claims of her home being broken into came with images of her window being smashed in. That’s not all, though; she also said that her two cats, Cornelius and Sylum, were missing. “Quite possibly the worst birthday ever,” the streamer said of the ordeal. “I feel like I can’t breathe.” Luckily, Minx was able to find one of her kitties, Cornelius — but made another discovery that set her hair on end. According to the streamer, a man had been sleeping underneath her home, and presumably was the one who’d broken into her house. She also claimed that they’d smashed the window that had a security camera, leading fans to believe that she had lost any possible recordings of the purported break-in. Despite this, Minx says that the homeowner has footage of “two men,” and says that she was able to get law enforcement involved to investigate the home invasion. Thus far, Minx hasn’t been able to get under the house to look for Sylum, saying police want to retrieve the invader’s fingerprints if possible.

JustaMinx sends brutal callout to Amber Heard for next boxing match – Dexerto
JustaMinx sends brutal callout to Amber Heard for next boxing match Instagram: justaminxig / YouTube: Entertainment TonightTwitch star ‘JustaMinx’ made history by winning the first-ever women’s influencer boxing match at Creator Clash — and she may already have her next opponent lined up… so to speak. The influencer boxing world got a major shakeup during Creator Clash this past weekend. The charity-based boxing event saw a total of 18 influencers face off for a good cause — and also broke a major record, in the process. As if selling over 100,000 pay-per-views and 10,000 seats in the Yuengling Center for charity wasn’t enough, Creator Clash also made history by orchestrating the first-ever women’s influencer boxing bout. JustaMinx picks her ideal next opponent The bout between Twitch streamer JustaMinx and TikTok star Yodeling Haley saw Minx emerge victorious by TKO in the fourth round. While she’s keen on stepping back in the ring soon, she may have already tapped her next opponent… and it’s none other than actress Amber Heard. A TKO victory for @JustaMinx what a win for the Twitch streamer#creatorclash pic.twitter.com/OMpw02Oboq — Dexerto (@Dexerto) May 14, 2022 JustaMinx ‘challenges’ Amber Heard to boxing match As the entire world has been made well aware, the ongoing trial between celebrity ex-spouses Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is currently taking over the internet as social media stars tune in to the hearing to give their own two cents on the drama. In fact, it’s become somewhat of a ‘meta’ on Twitch… something JustaMinx has also taken part in. After watching Heard’s testimony, Minx had one thing to say: She wants to box the ‘Aquaman’ star. “She’s actually acting like she’s f**kin’ boxing,” the streamer said. “Okay, I’m calling Amber Heard out. Fight me, b**ch. Fight me, b**ch! We’ve both got BPD. Come on, you manic little c**t.” Of course, Minx is just joking… but that would certainly be a sight to see. Minx’s bout against Yodeling Haley is already inspiring other female influencers to start their own boxing journeys in hopes of taking part in another influencer boxing event. Who knows who Minx will fight next (although her next rival probably won’t be Amber Heard).

JustaMinx slams TikTok after receiving three permabans due to “mass reporting” – Dexerto
JustaMinx slams TikTok after receiving three permabans due to “mass reporting” YouTube: Justa MinxTwitch streamer ‘JustaMinx’ is hitting out at TikTok, claiming that “mass reporting” from internet trolls has resulted in her getting permanently banned from the app three times. JustaMinx is a comedic Irish streamer currently living in Los Angeles. Right now, she boasts two million followers on Twitch, which serves as her secondary social media platform of choice. However, her TikTok account — where she has over 2.7 million followers — is currently undergoing some troubles due to what she claims is a “mass reporting” problem. Minx uploaded a YouTube video on March 28 discussing the matter and begged TikTok to fix the issue, saying she’d been banned three times in the past month due to harassment. JustaMinx pleads with TikTok to solve “mass reporting” issue “I’ve been permanently banned three times within the past month from TikTok,” she began. “Three permabans within one month. Usually, I put my hands up and I say I get it, okay, I’m not everyone’s favorite. I respect that.” “But TikTok has [unjustly] banned me three times, because every time they unban me, they apologize,” she added. “It’s mass reporting. They need to fix this issue, man, because I applaud TikTok for being one of the few platforms where the discoverability is amazing. …But they’re also not great with the mass reporting system.” Click here if TikTok fails to load. Minx claimed that she’d received an influx of hateful comments on certain videos prior to getting banned — some of which came from “a bunch of young children” with “Minecraft in their picture.” This happened three times, most notably when she collaborated with fellow influencer Hannah Rose. Minx claimed she received such comments as “We have to Save Hannah,” “get away from her,” and “Hannah, why would you go down to this level?” “Keep in mind, it’s not even suspensions,” Minx explained. “It’s not even a warning. It’s not even like a three-day suspension. They keep permabanning me!” “If you’re commenting on my thing, even if it’s negative, you’re a fan of me,” she said toward the “crazy little fans” filling up her comments. “You’re taking time out of your day.” Luckily, Minx’s TikTok account is back up and running at the time of writing. This is far from her first strange platform ban, too; she has also received two other bans from Twitch, receiving a notable suspension back in February for saying the word “cracker” on stream.

JustaMinx reveals hilarious coaching mishap during iDubbbz Creator Clash – Dexerto
JustaMinx reveals hilarious coaching mishap during iDubbbz Creator Clash Twitch: JustaMinxJustaMinx was one of the standout performers during iDubbbz Creator Clash. However, she had to fight the last round drenched in ice-cold water thanks to a hilarious coaching mishap. On May 14, iDubbbz hosted Creator Clash, an influencer boxing event for charity. It had nine fights, including one between JustaMinx and Yodeling Haley, which was the first female influencer boxing fight in history. It was an even contest between them for the most part. However, Minx’s determination and grit shone through in the fourth round. Despite losing a contact lens that rendered her unable to see, she still won via TKO. Hilariously, though, Minx revealed that when she tried to flag the contact lens issue with her coach between rounds, they hilariously thought she meant something else and started pouring cold water on her back. “I say to my coach, I’m like: ‘I can’t see! ‘I can’t see!’” she said during a Twitch stream the following day. “This motherf**ker, he thinks I say I can’t breathe, and so he grabs my shorts, and he’s like, ‘Put water on her back! Put water on her back!” It helps you breathe.’ “He starts pouring water on my back, and I’m just shaking my head. You can see me shaking my head. I’m like, ‘No! I can’t see!’” Unfortunately for Minx, the coach didn’t hear properly in time. The bell soon rang, and she had to return to the ring. “Hearing that bell when no one would understand me, I couldn’t see, and they were pouring ice-cold water on my back and pulling my pants when all I wanted was a f**king contact lens in my eye. I was like, ‘What the f**k?” Despite the hilarious mishap though, it wasn’t enough to stop her from winning. Minx still secured the victory in style. She threw one bomb after another and kept chipping away at Haley until the referee ended the fight. She also shared a wholesome moment with her father after the bout. He called her to tell her that he was “so proud” of her performance in the ring and commended her “resilience,” which brought a tear to her eye.

JustaMinx says AirBnB banned her account after home invasion – Dexerto
JustaMinx says AirBnB banned her account after home invasion YouTube: Justa MinxTwitch streamer ‘JustaMinx’ has claimed that AirBnB banned her account after her stay at one of their properties was interrupted by a terrifying home invasion. JustaMinx is a popular Irish streamer whose return to broadcasting has been disrupted by some fairly frightening occurrences. On November 3, Minx claimed that the AirBnB she was staying in was broken into by two men purportedly living beneath the property. That’s not all; Minx’s two cats also went missing during this time and hid underneath the home, with the streamer and local law enforcement then discovering a cache of illicit materials that the intruders had purportedly stored there. Minx claimed that the intruders showed back up to the AirBnB after the invasion and threatened her, and were allegedly “hacking IP addresses” using the home’s Wi-Fi connection. JustaMinx’s AirBnB account purportedly banned after home broken into Although the broadcaster has since found both of her cats (who are safe and healthy), Minx claims that she’s now looking for another place to live in the interim. However, the hunt has been a difficult one, given that AirBnB has seemingly banned her account. Minx made this claim in a tweet on November 10, saying that the service has also prevented her from booking anywhere within a 300 kilometer radius. “Finding a new place and moving again has been stressful,” the streamer wrote. “Especially with not being able to get a refund on the current house I’m in and AirBnB banning my account and not letting me book anywhere in a 300 km radius. Grateful for my friends helping me look and taking in my kitties.” For now, Minx is focusing on finding a new place to live while she deals with the current situation at her AirBnB. Fans are sending her an outpouring of support during this time. This news follows Minx’s claims that she was kicked out of the OpTic team house and given 24 hours to vacate the premises. AirBnB spokesperson responds amid JustaMinx ban claims Dexerto reached out to AirBnB for comment regarding Minx’s latest claims. A spokesperson for the company responded that there is no way to ascertain if Minx’s allegations are true based on the information that the streamer has provided thus far and without her legal name.

JustaMinx pokes fun at Twitch ban in hilarious apology song – Dexerto
JustaMinx pokes fun at Twitch ban in hilarious apology song Twitch: JustaMinxTwitch star JustaMinx poked fun at her Twitch ban by singing a hilarious apology song, hoping it would entice the platform to process her appeal and unban her ahead of schedule. On February 8, Minx was banned on Twitch for a week after jokingly using the word “cracker” several times on-stream — a term that the Amazon-owned streaming platform considers to be a “derogatory slur.” With not much else to do, she’s been posting videos on YouTube to cope with the boredom. However, her latest one doubled up as an apology song that she hopes would “serenade” Twitch to unban her. “I want to send out an apology,” she said at the start of the video. “I want to show people that I’ve learned my lesson and where I stand and I feel like the best way to do that is through song.” She jumped right into it. The opening lyrics followed the AABB rhyme scheme. “I promise I won’t make more noise. You can run me and know this ain’t one of my little lies. See, I know what I said, and now my channel’s f**king dead!” Then, she branched off into a more free-flowing style. “Twitch, you’re my only source of income. You can run me. Yeah, I know what I did was dumb. I don’t know what to do. Twitch, I am promising you. I’m young! “Listen here, Twitch! I don’t want to be that broke, so please give me one more chance. I promise I will make you richer. I’m going to cry and possibly die (that’s not a threat). But listen, my heart will be! Please Twitch, just set me free!” Twitch hasn’t acknowledged the song yet. However, Minx’s fans couldn’t get enough of it. “Minx, this song has touched my and most probably everyone’s heart,” wrote one fan. “Minx should release a full album with her singing,” wrote another. Read More: Who is Catben on TikTok? – Her ban will be lifted on February 14, unless her appeal is successful. It was her second ban on the platform, the first of which happened back in December 2020 after she used the terms “virgin, simp, and incel” live on stream.

JustAMinx responds to viral clip arguing with family on stream YouTube: Just a MinxJustAMinx has responded to a viral clip showing the streamer arguing with her family after her broadcast from Ireland ended abruptly. JustAMinx has continued to make headlines over the last few months regarding issues varying from her house getting broken into, being drugged during a night out with friends, and even costing QTCinderella $50,000 by getting The Streamer Awards afterparty shut down. Minx has since traveled back home to Ireland to be with her family and addressed her drinking habits in her first broadcast since the Streamer Awards. A clip showing Minx arguing with her family went viral on March 21, and the Twitch star has since responded to some of the things she said during the fight. JustAMinx gets into fight with family on stream While streaming on Twitch, Minx began arguing with a family member that was standing off-camera. The Twitch star got up from where she was sitting, knocking over the camera she was using in the process. During the argument, Twitch chat urged Minx to end her broadcast, writing that it wasn’t the “time or place” to confront the family member. Most of the comments made on the stream are hard to understand, but toward the end, Minx said, “You like f*ckin’ little men” – which some fans took as a suggestion of inappropriate activities with minors. The video went viral on Twitter shortly after the stream ended, and Minx was quick to respond to comments about the claims she made about her sister. “Americans are so soft,” she said in one tweet, while in another, she made it clear that the allegations she made toward her sister are not real. Others replied to her comments, claiming that it’s “normal” for folks in the UK to use the term “p*do” in arguments. Minx also revealed that she will be making a video about the situation, presumably to explain the context behind what started the viral argument. We’ll have to wait till that’s uploaded to find out more about the situation, but in the meantime, you can head over to our entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

JustAMinx left “shaking” after calling police due to strangers banging on her door – Dexerto
JustAMinx left “shaking” after calling police due to strangers banging on her door Twitch: JustaMinxJustAMinx has been left terrified after three men allegedly showed up banging on her front door, resulting in the police being called. When not in the boxing ring, JustAMinx is most famous for her variety streams these days, boasting an enormous two million followers on Twitch, with another one million on Instagram. The popular content creator recently made her boxing debut in 2022, as part of the first-ever female influencer boxing match at Creator Clash 1. However, JustAMinx has experienced her fair share of traumatic experiences as of late. From admitting to dealing with alcoholism to showing up to streams with a bloodied face, it’s been a turbulent period. Now, JustAMinx’s latest experience has resulted in a phone call to the police. This week, three men allegedly showed up on her doorstep demanding to be let in. The men supposedly “slammed” on the front door for approximately three minutes, before eerily claiming “I know you’re in there”. “I’m shaking like a f****** leaf right now,” the streamer posted to Twitter on June 20, shortly after the incident. Initially thinking it was a viewer from stream, JustAMinx called the police. However, police were unable to find the men upon arrival, with two police cars searching the area to no avail. A neighbor later informed the streamer that the men had seemingly been doing the same to other houses, leaving JustAMinx uncertain as to what they had intended. Fans were left shocked by the incident, sharing their concerns on Twitter. “Holy f*** stay safe my guy that’s terrifying,” one user tweeted. Another posted “Yeah you 100% need to get a Ring camera.” JustAMinx went on to explain that while she does have cameras all around her house, the front one is currently not working. “Need to fix that,” she admitted. In a time where crazed fans are stream sniping to new extremes, even setting cars on fire to get attention, the most popular figures can never be too cautious. For now, we’re just glad to know that JustAMinx is safe and hope she recovers from the traumatic ordeal. For more news on the streamer, be sure to check out our page here.

JustaMinx opens up on attempted TikToker home invasion: “Trespassing and assault” – Dexerto
JustaMinx opens up on attempted TikToker home invasion: “Trespassing and assault” Twitch: justaminx / Twitter: MinxMoreTwitch streamer ‘JustaMinx’ has shed more light on a terrifying incident that she calls “trespass and assault” after a troupe of TikTokers attempted to get inside her home. On June 6, Twitch star ‘CodeMiko’ published a tweet claiming that a TikToker had tried to get inside the Epic House, where she and several other female content creators live together. According to Miko, the TikToker had even thrown a rock at Twitch streamer JustaMinx after being denied entry. The streamer said that the TikTokers’ reasoning for wanting to come inside was because they allegedly had used to live in the home. A tiktoker(stranger to us) tried to get into our home, when denied he threw a big rock at Minx and Lewis (thank god missed them) I can’t believe the entitlement of some influencers. He tried to get into our house and his reasoning was because he used to live here. — CodeMiko (@codemiko) June 6, 2022 JustaMinx has since opened up on the altercation, sharing her side of the story in a Twitch stream several hours later. Minx says that the Epic House was hosting a big party when the TikTokers rolled up demanding to be let inside the premises. “‘No, we’re allowed to come up!’” Minx recalled them saying. “‘We used to live here!’” A huge argument ensued between the TikTokers, Minx, and fellow influencer Lewis. Minx shared a clip of the altercation, which occurred sometime after the rock was thrown — which Minx says was powerful enough to rip a hole in the screen of Miko’s window. Minx later ran down to confront the group, who ended up driving away when things got tense. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the streamer says that law enforcement never showed up to the scene even after being called two times. “We called the cops, but they never came,” she explained. “Imagine if they were trying to hurt us? …they never came. After two f**king calls.” after he threw the rock he told us to come down and fight. my anger stupidly got the better of me and i ran down, and all four of them fucking ran off literally assault and trespassing. insane. — minx (@MinxMore) June 6, 2022 Fortunately, everyone is safe and the spat was eventually dissolved… but this is far from the first time influencers have reported instances of similar behavior. TikTok star Bryce Hall has uploaded numerous clips of CCTV footage showing strangers attempting to break into his home, while YouTuber David Dobrik claimed his meal delivery driver literally walked into his bedroom. It’s a scary world out there, but luckily, everyone in these situations was unharmed.

Often seen collaborating with streamers such QTCinderealla or the Botez sisters, JustaMinx has left former stunned by their behavior at an event referred to as the ‘Frat Night’. QT Cinderella shocked by JustaMinx’s behavior at Twitch ‘Frat Night’ Alongside streamers QT Cinderella and Maya Higa, JustaMinx attended the ‘Frat Night’ streaming event on August 15, 2022. The event was already touted to “hit different” according to QT Cinderella, who hyped up the event on social media. However as the night progressed, JustaMinx’s behavior took a radical turn as she launched herself onto the group’s beer tong table. Naturally, everyone present was left shocked by the streamer’s spontaneity and were unsure if they had hurt themselves. Viewers quickly noticed that JustaMinx’s actions affected the stream itself too. Redditor billybob123123123 said: “afterwards you could see QT arguing with Minx in the background, then Minx leaving.” “Now they are banning any mention of Minx in the chat” added the Redditor. A screenshot captured by the Redditor displayed a significant amount of time-outs in the stream’s chat, making it impossible for anyone to give their opinion on the situation. Other viewers have debated whether JustaMinx’s actions were valid, considering the nature of the Twitch event. Redditor’s such as cazzhmir said: “I mean I don’t know what the f*** they were expecting by throwing a ‘frat party’.” Another sided with the streamer, adding that “poor minx” was “just trying to make content and they kick her out.” Since the conclusion of the stream, there has been no official statement on the events from QT Cinderella, Maya Higa, or JustaMinx herself.

JustaMinx hit with second Twitch ban over “derogatory slur” – Dexerto
JustaMinx hit with second Twitch ban over “derogatory slur” YouTube: JustaMinxPopular Twitch star JustaMinx has been suspended from the Amazon-owned streaming platform for a “derogatory slur,” after she jokingly used the word “cracker” several times on-stream. JustaMinx, 25, has been temporarily banned from Twitch for the second time in as many years. Her surprise site suspension is reportedly due to her use of the word “cracker,” a term Twitch has previously ruled to be a “derogatory slur,” in a past broadcast. The Irish streaming star leaves behind 1.9 million followers now without access to her channel and VODs. She has been banned for seven days and will be free to host livestreams again on February 14. Following confirmation of her suspension from the platform, JustaMinx took to Twitter: “Well shiver me timbers, I’m banned for a derogatory slur.” This isn’t the first time JustaMinx has found herself on the wrong end of a Twitch ban for her on-stream comments either. The star’s first suspension, which came way back in December 2020, was due to her use of the words “virgin, simp, and incel”. These words had been added to Twitch’s Terms of Service as “hateful slurs” that same month, and led to her receiving her first channel strike. JustaMinx enjoyed an explosion of popularity in 2021, climbing to a mammoth 1.9 million-strong following on the famous Amazon-owned streaming site. Twitch has yet to confirm if JustaMinx’s suspension is due to her use of the “cracker” or if it was another statement that put her in hot water. If it is, however, the Irish star’s ban brings to the fore a controversy from late 2021; whether the term carries anti-white sentiments. Top streamer Hasan Piker was previously suspended for using the word while discussing its connotations, sparking a platform-wide debate on its usage. The Amazon-owned platform’s stance on the word is addressed in its Terms of Service. “Hateful conduct is any content or activity that promotes or encourages discrimination or harassment based on… race, ethnicity, color, caste, national origin, [and more].” JustaMinx is now prohibited from streaming on Twitch for a week, a fact she’s not happy about. “I can’t do another seven days! Let me out! Free me!”

JustaMinx issues update on wellbeing amid ongoing ‘blackmail’ allegations – Dexerto
JustaMinx issues update on wellbeing amid ongoing ‘blackmail’ allegations YouTube: JustaMinxTwitch streamer JustaMinx has released an update on her wellbeing amid ongoing allegations pertaining to the ‘blackmail’ of fellow content creator ‘toxxxicsupport’. On September 21, JustaMinx found herself on the receiving end of serious allegations when fellow Twitch streamer ‘toxxxicsupport’ claimed she had been unduly pressured into exposing herself by attendees at a TwitchCon party hosted by Minx. The incident allegedly took place during a drinking game with a host of other guests. Minx was reported to be in bed at the time of the drinking game but, according to toxxxicsupport, became ‘intimidating’ in its aftermath. Toxxxicsupport said: “She essentially manipulated, intimidating, and blackmailed me into being silent. She protected them. She still continues to protect abuser friends and at times, seems to take it as a joke.” On September 23, after days of silence on social media, Minx released an update on her wellbeing with many fans concerned about the streamer. It states that Minx’s wellbeing “seems to have gotten much worse” in recent days, and that the streamer is seeking help but will not be returning to the internet in the immediate future. “Hello everyone,” it read. “A lot of you have been concerned about Minx’s wellbeing over the last few weeks, and it seems to have gotten much worse in the last few days. Being manic is not a joke and should not be treated as clickbait or a punchline, or even an excuse.” It continued: “With help from those around her, Minx has decided to get help and has not been on the internet since Tuesday afternoon. She will not be returning to the internet for a few days and does not have access to her phone. We know there is a lot going on, but please be patient until she is able to return and speak for herself.” The statement ends by thanking fans for their “continued support” and states that the streamer cares about her community and fanbase “more than any of you could ever know”.

JustAMinx explains why MF & DAZN X Series 6 fight was canceled – Dexerto
JustAMinx explains why MF & DAZN X Series 6 fight was canceled JustAMinxIrish Twitch streamer JustAMinx has explained why her upcoming fight against YouTuber Fangs was canceled last minute. JustAMinx first made her boxing debut back in 2022, marking the first-ever female influencer boxing match at Creator Clash 1. Touching gloves with TikToker Yodeling Haley, the fight resulted in a fourth-round KO for the Irish Twitch star, and ever since, she’s been itching to back in the ring. Minx finally signed a deal to go to blows with YouTuber and OnlyFans model Fangs on April 21. However, just a week out before fight night, the 26-year-old announced her bout has been canceled. JustAMinx explains why her fight was canceled After almost a year since her last fight, Minx was ready to step into the ring with Fangs after signing a deal earlier in 2023. Although, in an April 16 tweet, she revealed her upcoming bout was scrapped — explaining she was forced to back out due to issues with the U.S embassy. “Got unlucky with the embassy,” she wrote. They said it’d take two weeks to get my passport back but it’s sadly been more than a month now.” “I’ll see you guys on the next card,” Minx added. After already having two prior fights scrapped, thankfully, Fangs will still be getting in the ring come April 21 — with music artist Alaena Vampira stepping in as the replacement fighter. “Yeah, I wasn’t gonna let her down again,” said Misfits organizer MamsTaylor. “Also, Vampira is a bad ass too. Should be a great fight.” Nevertheless, it looks like it won’t be the end of Minx’s boxing run, as she’s still keen to fight. While it’s unlikely we’ll see her fight on the May 13 undercard of KSI vs Joe Fournier in London, there’s a chance she might make her Misfits debut in Nashville on the Series 008 card in June.

JustAMinx gets stuck in elevator on stream after prank goes wrong – Dexerto
JustAMinx gets stuck in elevator on stream after prank goes wrong Twitch/JustaminxTwitch streamer JustAMinx found herself stuck in an elevator and forced to listen to Andrea Botez singing after a prank went brutally wrong. Pranks can be incredibly fun and are quite popular on Twitch, with streamers frequently trying to pull one over on each other. With Envy’s new content house in full swing, JustAMinx, Andrea Botez, Alexandra Botez, and CodeMiko found themselves together once again, but this time, things may have gone a bit too far. During a January 27 broadcast, CodeMiko thought it would be funny to prank her boyfriend, Castlehead and Justaminx by trapping them in an elevator, but when it backfired in a big way. JustAMinx gets trapped in an elevator After CodeMiko stopped the elevator preventing it from opening, JustAMinx, Castlehead, and fellow streamer Mia Malkova began to lose their minds. “I don’t have my phone!” Minx cried. “It’s hot! Ugh! It’s actually hot.” At Malkova’s suggestion, Minx decided to take off the top layer of her clothes while the trio complained about how the situation was making them feel. “I’m stressed,” the blonde streamer and actress explained. “As soon as I knew I was stuck I started feeling claustrophobic. It was supposed to be a joke.” To make things worse, the three were subjected to Andrea Botez singing outside of the elevator only adding to their misery, though they tried to remain in good spirits. Finally, though, they did manage to get the elevator open, rescuing the three souls, freeing them. Hopefully, everyone learned their lesson and the next time there’s a prank, it doesn’t inconvenience everyone. But at least they got some content out of it!

JustaMinx can’t believe this Stranger Things actor watches her on Twitch – Dexerto
JustaMinx can’t believe this Stranger Things actor watches her on Twitch Netflix / Twitch: JustaMinxTwitch streamer ‘JustaMinx’ was left stunned after one of Stranger Things’ newest additions followed her on social media, leading to an adorably wholesome interaction between the two stars. Warning: Spoilers for Stranger Things Season 4 ahead! The first half of Stranger Things Season 4 has just been released on Netflix, and it’s safe to say that the nostalgic 80’s-inspired hit is taking over the internet. One of the show’s newest additions, a character named Chrissy Cunningham, is also making waves online…. And it’s not just because of the charming cheerleader she plays in the show. Although Chrissy’s time on screen was short, she has left a lasting impression on fans — and on gamers, as well. Her actress, Grace Van Dien, is actually a pretty good Valorant player and even has her own Twitch channel, where she boasts over 101,000 followers. Thus, it’s not totally unbelievable that she would follow some of Twitch’s top talent on social media — something that Irish Twitch streamer JustaMinx couldn’t seem to fathom. On June 9, 2022, Minx posted a tweet asking her fans “How do I flex that the coolest person from Stranger Things Season 4 followed me back without embarrassing myself?” It wasn’t long before Minx let the cat out of the bag, replying to her post with the name of the person in question — miss Grace Van Dien, herself. That’s not all; Grace actually responded to Minx’s celebratory tweet, writing: “ohhai cutie.” The wholesome interaction is throwing fans of both Minx and Stranger Things for a complete loop — but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen an interaction between actors from the hit Netflix show and top-tier internet stars. Recently, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins posted a humorous tweet calling out Noah Schnapp, the actor of Will Byers, after a fan claimed they couldn’t help but notice a resemblance between the two celebrities. . @noah_schnapp time to change your hair color bro https://t.co/cvbf9KpiQt — Ninja (@Ninja) June 6, 2022 YouTube stars the Game Grumps have also notably had Finn Wolfhard, the actor for Mike Wheeler, as a celebrity guest on numerous occasions, leading to some side-clutching hilarious antics. While it would definitely be cool to see Grace Van Dien on JustaMinx’s stream, only time will tell if these two stars will meet up IRL. For now, we’re just waiting for Part 2 of Season 4 to drop… and hoping Eleven’s powers can finally subdue Vecna, once and for all.

JustaMinx claims she was kicked out of OpTic house after psych ward “scam” – Dexerto
JustaMinx claims she was kicked out of OpTic house after psych ward “scam” YouTube: Justa MinxTwitch streamer ‘JustaMinx’ says she was given “24 hours” to move out of the OpTic house after returning from a “psych ward” she’d been encouraged to stay in. The last 24 hours have been chaotic for JustaMinx. On her birthday, November 3, the streamer’s home was broken into by a man sleeping underneath the house, and her two cats had gone missing. Since then, she’s managed to locate one of her cats and discovered that the man had been hoarding drugs beneath her home (as well as “hacking IP addresses”). However, the incident caused some confusion as to where Minx was staying, with some fans assuming she was still living in the OpTic house with fellow streamers CodeMiko and the Botez sisters. Minx has previously stated that she is no longer staying at the OpTic house and has been moving quite frequently over the past few weeks — although she wasn’t clear as to why she’d removed herself from her previous living arrangements. JustaMinx says OpTic gave her “24 hours” to vacate house She clarified the situation on November 4, a day after the break in, claiming that OpTic had given her just 24 hours to vacate the house after her return from a “psych ward,” where the streamer says she was encouraged to stay under the impression that her visit was already paid for. Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication, it was not, and she had to pay $10,000 for her visit. “This isn’t the OpTic house where the break in happened,” she said in a tweet. “When I was released from the psych ward, they told me I had 24 hours to get out of the house, hence why I’ve had to move three times the past month.” That’s not all; Minx went on to claim that OpTic had asked her to sign an NDA during this time to avoid speaking about the 24-hour notice. “One of their employees leaked it to my mods and friends,” she added. “I haven’t spoken about it because I was hoping to get to talk to them more, but they had no interest.” Minx’s stay at the supposed psych ward followed a swath of drama for the streamer, who was accused of “blackmailing” another broadcaster. JustaMinx reveals OpTic offered settlement & NDA Minx also opened up about the matter during a broadcast on November 4, where she further clarified the situation, saying that OpTic had offered her a settlement if she signed the supposed NDA. “When I got out of the psych ward, two members of OpTic collected me,” she began. “I was like damn, after everything that went down, I thought I’d be let go. They told me to go to Texas with them because it would be better for my mental health. The next day, I got a call from my agent. They asked me to hop in a call. They told me, ‘You have 24 hours to get out of the house.’ I completely understand them dropping me with everything that went on, but after they f*cked me over with my Visa, giving me 24 hours to move out is insane.” “That’s why I keep moving palace to place… I’ve been living Airbnb by Airbnb, my cats too, moving them out in 24 hours. They wont let me back in the OpTic house. I don’t know why they wont give me a reason. They said ‘allegations.’ Every time I try to reach out, they say, ‘We can talk to you if you’re getting a lawyer. They wanted me to sign an NDA for the same amount as they would pay me monthly, so I won’t talk about it. I was thinking about it, because you know I wasn’t able to stream, I had that whole breakdown, but I was like, Can I think about it? And then one of their employees leaked it to everyone, and I found out from others that they knew I was fired.” Minx also shared a screenshot of her conversation with a higher-up at the company. Minx took a lengthy hiatus from social media to focus on her mental health and has since returned to broadcasting, with fans eagerly awaiting an update on the breakin at her new home. Dexerto has reached out to OpTic Gaming for comment.

JustaMinx breaks down after Twitch’s perma-ban warning for next stream mishap – Dexerto
JustaMinx breaks down after Twitch’s perma-ban warning for next stream mishap YouTube: Just a MinxPopular streamer ‘JustaMinx’ broke down in a YouTube video after her second ban from Twitch, claiming the site has warned her that her next ban will be permanent. On February 7, JustaMinx received a ban from the platform for using a “derogatory slur” after saying the word “cracker” during a broadcast. This marked her second ban on the site. JustaMinx cannot stream for seven days — but that isn’t the only difficulty facing this content creator. Two days later, Minx posted a YouTube video explaining her current situation… and judging by her response, the Twitch ban seems to be taking its toll on her. Minx explained that, since she lives in a home with other Twitch streamers, she has to “creep” around the house for fear of appearing on her housemates’ broadcasts and earning them a ban, as well. On top of that, she said that she will be stepping away from crossing “the line” in her Twitch content, marking a major change for her comedic style. This is a measure she claims she’s taking to avoid a permanent ban. “As we all know, this is my second Twitch ban,” she explained. “Meaning, and after having a talk with Twitch, my third one will be permanent. Which is terrifying.” Minx says she will be focusing more on her YouTube channel as a result, where she will upload videos twice a week. This marks a big change for Minx’s Twitch streams and means more work for her in regards to her YouTube presence. The streamer jokingly admitted that the entire situation has been greatly affecting her emotional state, as well. “I’ve not been taking care of myself since the ban, okay?” she revealed. “I’m living like a rat in this dark cave. …I have to put my eggs in other baskets now, since I’m on my last chance.” Minx’s fans have sent her an outpouring of support in response to her honest message as they eagerly await her eventual return to Twitch – a platform that continues to dominate the streaming game in spite of YouTube’s shrewd competition.

JustaMinx calls out “unfair” Twitch suspension compared to other bans – Dexerto
JustaMinx calls out “unfair” Twitch suspension compared to other bans YouTube: JustaMinxTwitch streamer JustaMinx has slammed Twitch after pointing out the “unfair” treatment she received over her ban, comparing her situation to that of a streamer who says she accidentally revealed inappropriate content on stream. Update – 12/21/20 JustaMinx has tweeted that she is considering leaving Twitch altogether after being banned, revealing that the ordeal left a “sour taste.” this ban has left such a sour taste in my mouth that I’m rly on the fence of going back to twitch. The worst thing about being banned is you can’t talk in chat, watch other streamers or hang out on others streams without risking getting them banned — minx (@MinxMore) December 21, 2020 She explained she was blindsided and Twitch “still didn’t even fully confirm which word got me banned…Like if I got a one-year or indefinite ban I wouldn’t know what to do.” For now, Minx has said she will stick to being “family-friendly” upon her return to Twitch and revamp her brand. If I risk going to YouTube I’ll get a suspension anyway. I’m kind of lost rn. I think for now I’ll just return and try be way more family friendly. Gonna have to have a revamp on my whole ‘brand’ :/ — minx (@MinxMore) December 21, 2020 Original article: JustaMinx has accumulated a substantial following on streaming platform Twitch, with hundreds of thousands of fans across various platforms. However, her fans were outraged to hear that the star had been banned on December 17. She revealed on Twitter that the reason for the ban was cited as the use of “hateful slurs or symbols,” explaining that she had used words such as ‘simp’ and ‘virgin’ in her broadcast. I wanna clarify I did say virgin incel and simp yesterday but I thiught the new TOS wasn’t in place till January — minx (@JustaMinx) December 17, 2020 This follows outrage from the community over Twitch’s announcement that they would be cracking down on the use of these words when not used as part of “casual banter,” a policy that was set to go into effect from January. While it’s unclear what the specific reason JustaMinx was banned is, it certainly seems to have frustrated many people, especially Jinx herself. JustaMinx speaks out against Twitch Speaking on her alt Twitter MinxMore, she explained how unfair it was that someone who showed very explicit content on the site only got a three day ban, “but 7 days to me for saying words that I didn’t even mean in a hostile way.” I’m obviously gonna wait out my sentence but its just a bit unfair. I hope I’m not gonna be a targeted streamer like Forsen and barry74 lmaoo — minx (@MinxMore) December 18, 2020 She refers to a streamer who caused outrage after she “accidentally” went live on Twitch, revealing rule-breaking adult content, for which she only received a three day ban. Minx went on to say “I’m obviously gonna wait out my sentence but it’s just a bit unfair. I hope I’m not gonna be a targeted streamer like Forsen and barry74 lmaoo.” Barry74 is another streamer who called out the short length of the accidental streamer’s ban, stating that his own ban had gone on for over 90 days, shading Twitch over their seemingly unfair judgement. ive been banned for over 90 days and a full pussy spread gets a 3 day suspension awesome — Barry (@Barry_74) December 18, 2020 The announcement of the new terms of service have given streamers another reason to be overly cautious, as it seems impossible to predict just how long a ban will be should one arise.

JustAMinx admits she “needs to know when to stop” amid Streamer Awards drinking drama – Dexerto
JustAMinx admits she “needs to know when to stop” amid Streamer Awards drinking drama Twitch: JustaMinxJustAMinx has returned to Twitch days after Streamer Awards host QTCinderella revealed how her intoxicated behavior led to a disastrous afterparty. While assuring fans she’s on the road to recovery, Minx admitted she does indeed struggle with alcohol and “needs to know when to stop drinking.” While the 2023 Streamer Awards went off without a hitch, growing its viewership significantly from the previous year, what happened shortly after the show didn’t quite follow suit. With dozens of popular figures attending an official after party, JustAMinx quickly caused havoc with her excessive drinking. Host QTCinderella revealed she only let Minx attend on one condition: That the Irish streamer wouldn’t drink. That didn’t end up holding together, unfortunately, and before long, the party was shut down, an ambulance was called, and QT allegedly lost “$50,000 due to a contract with the venue.” Despite the drama occurring in the public eye, QT has since admitted she regrets sharing those details and wished it went down in private. Now following up in her returning Twitch stream, weeks after having been banned for appearing drunk on the platform, Minx admitted her “borderline alcoholic” issues are a factor, but assured fans she’s on the right track moving forward. Upon returning to her home country and staying with her parents, Minx recounted how her mum in particular was concerned after hearing of the incident in LA. However, after arriving home, those concerns went out the window as Minx appeared just “fine.” “I’m a bit f***ing upset at everything that went on, but yeah I’m fine,” Minx said. “What I need to stop is, when I go to a party, I need to know when to stop drinking. When I start drinking… I know that it’s borderline alcoholic.” Seemingly working on herself ahead of an upcoming boxing match on KSI’s MF x DAZN series 006 event, Minx explained how she’s taking precautions due to complications with her drinking problem. In light of a recent alcohol-induced seizure, Minx is “getting checkups, getting an MRI scan, and getting all the blood tests.” “For anyone saying don’t box because I had a seizure, please stop that. If the doctor says I can do it, online opinions don’t f***ing matter.” Back home with her family and getting the treatment she needs, Minx explained to fans that she’s on the path to recovery.

JustAMinx banned from Twitch for being drunk on stream – Dexerto
JustAMinx banned from Twitch for being drunk on stream Twitch: JustAMinxTwitch streamer JustAMinx has been handed a seven-day suspension from the Amazon-owned platform, following a stream where she was “incapacitated.” With just under 2 million followers, JustAMinx is one of the most-followed female streamers on all of Twitch. Although viewership has dropped in 2023, averaging around 1000 live viewers, she boasts a large fanbase on YouTube too, with over 700,000 subscribers. And for the next week, it looks like YouTube will be the only place for her content, as she has been hit with a seven-day suspension from Twitch. JustAMinx banned for third time Minx’s last ban was in February 2022, on that occasion for using a “derogatory slur.” On March 1, she posted a now-deleted Tweet showing an email from a Twitch representative, explaining that her account was due to be suspended for a week for breaking the self-harm rules in the community guidelines. Specifically, Minx is said to have been “incapacitated on stream.” During her broadcast on February 26, Minx was clearly intoxicated and dropped a bottle of whisky on the ground in a clip that was shared on Reddit. These rules state that “Twitch does not allow content that glorifies, promotes, or encourages self-harm. We also prohibit activity that may endanger your life, lead to your physical harm, or encourage others to engage in physically harmful behavior. We do not make exceptions for self-destructive behavior performed as a stunt or gag made in jest, or meant to entertain, when the behavior could reasonably be expected to cause physical injury.” In addition to the suspension, Minx will also be ineligible to participate in promotional activities on Twitch for 90 days. 2022 was a rollercoaster year for Minx, joining OpTic Gaming in August, before being “kicked” by the org in November.

JustAMinx accused of ‘blackmailing’ female streamer after “uncomfortable” TwitchCon party – Dexerto
JustAMinx accused of ‘blackmailing’ female streamer after “uncomfortable” TwitchCon party YouTube: Justa MinxPopular Twitch streamer JustAMinx has been hit with an accusation that she “manipulated” and “blackmailed” a female streamer after she had an “uncomfortable” experience during a TwitchCon party. JustAMinx has come under fire, after female streamer ‘toxxxicsupport‘ alleged that she had an “uncomfortable” experience during a party hosted by the Twitch star which would go on to cause her “sexual trauma.” On September 21, toxxxicsupport posted a statement claiming that while she was attending JustAMinx’s TwitchCon party, she took part in a drinking game, when things allegedly took a distressing turn. The game supposedly involved each member of the group, which included “13 guys” having to take off an item of clothing every time they “messed up.” However, after her friend “ended up getting into only her bra and underwear,” toxxxicsupport was supposedly “peer-pressured” into getting more “exposed.” She claimed: “I went to clean the vodka up and came back to them telling me someone’s dare was to remove the rest of my clothes […] I told them I’m good and I didn’t want to and my replies were drowned out by echoes of the guys just telling me to do it, it’s okay, they won’t judge, it’s part of the game, etc.” Following on from the alleged events, toxxxicsupport reached out to Minx who was supposedly in bed during the evening, who was initially “supportive” and “forgiving.” “A few hours later, out of nowhere, she texted me and told me I’m not allowed to go back to that Airbnb and she didn’t want to talk to me,” toxxxicsupport claimed. “She essentially manipulated, [intimidated], and blackmailed me into being silent.” Toxxxicsupport also posted screenshots of messages between herself and Minx in the days and weeks following the incident. JustAMinx hasn’t officially responded to the accusations, as of writing. Dexerto has reached out for comment. Twitch has been alive with drama in recent days – including allegations of sexual assault against CrazySlick, and that the victim, AdrianahLee, was urged to keep quiet by streamers Mizkif and Maya. Mizkif is now being investigated by his streaming organization OTK.

JustaMinx addresses hot tub party drama after clips surface on Twitter – Dexerto
JustaMinx addresses hot tub party drama after clips surface on Twitter Twitch: JustaMinxFollowing a surfacing of various clips from her recent hot tub stream, Twitch streamer JustaMinx decided to address the controversy. Twitch’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service are always a hotly debated topic as the streaming website has garnered a lot of attention due to what many view as inconsistency when it comes to upholding rules. One of these aforementioned rules restricts broadcasters from getting involved with anything that has to do with nudity or is sexual in nature. This part of the ToS is especially looked at when it comes to streamers broadcasting from a pool or a hot tub. JustaMinx addresses hot tub party drama During her stream on January 29, JustaMinx decided to address a tweet by Jake Lucky that included a clip of her hot tub stream the previous day. It hit out Twitch’s Nudity & Sexual Content policies and hinted at the website’s inconsistencies. “When I see these videos I remember C9 Mang0 getting banned for air humping an Ahri statue and I remember that Twitch has no clue what to ban for when it comes to “sexual” content anymore,” he tweeted. When I see these videos I remember C9 Mang0 getting banned for air humping an Ahri statue and I remember that Twitch has no clue what to ban for when it comes to “sexual” content anymore pic.twitter.com/jfeCE3y8n5 — Jake Lucky (@JakeSucky) January 29, 2022 Prior to going over the tweet, she gave a bit of backstory on the day of the broadcast, stating that all of her plans “were messed up” as this was just after she got stuck in an elevator as part of a prank. “We had just gotten trapped in an elevator for an hour so all our plans were messed up,” she said. “I was still shaken up, I was still all over the place so I was just like ‘alright, let’s just go into the hot tub straight away.’” Following this, she began to play the clip but quickly paused and said, “just give me two seconds.” Justaminx then proceeded to show various clips that performed the same actions as the ones in the original clip, wanting to point out the lack of differences between the two. “First of all I’m getting a lot of sexism from this f**king c**t,” JustaMinx said. “There was no issue when this happened three different times on a man’s stream with actual f**king views. Maybe it’s because I’m a dying streamer or it’s a woman that is an issue.” This is not the first time controversy like this has reared its head. Only time will tell if Twitch will address the issue.

Just Chatting dominates Twitch content as viewership doubles in 2021 – Dexerto
Just Chatting dominates Twitch content as viewership doubles in 2021 TwitchA new report has revealed how Just Chatting is taking over Twitch, even as the platform’s total viewership doubled in one year. With many people still stuck at home for work and school, Twitch viewership hit record new highs in 2021, increasing by nearly one billion total minutes watched. A big reason for this is the Just Chatting section, which according to Streamlabs, now makes up 12% of Twitch’s total views. Streamlabs reports that Just Chatting became the most-watched category on Twitch in Q3 2020 with 522 million hours watched. Now, in Q1 2021, that number has grown 44% and ballooned to 754 million hours. To put this in perspective, Grand Theft Auto V, the most-watched game in 2021 thanks to the resurgence of GTA RP, has 546.3 million hours watched so far. The category flips the idea of Twitch as a strictly video game streaming platform on its head, with streamers simply just talking with viewers or engaging in IRL shenanigans. 2021 has also seen the rise of the controversial “hot tub meta” where streamers in the Just Chatting category lounge in pools. So far in Q1 2021, viewers have watched 6.34 billion hours of content on Twitch. Meanwhile, YouTube Gaming Live trails at 1.37 billion and Facebook is in third with 1.06 billion. “For the first time, we are seeing Facebook Gaming and YouTube Gaming closely compete against each other in terms of viewership,” Ashray Urs, Head of Product at Streamlabs explained. “While the difference in viewership was approximately 1 billion hours last quarter, that gap has shrunk to about 300 million in Q1. There is a chance we could see Facebook Gaming overtake YouTube Gaming in viewership next quarter.” The battle for second place is really heating up, which may be a bit surprising considering how YouTube has the likes of Dr Disrespect and the most-watched female streamer in Valkyrae. It will be fun to see how the platforms fair with plenty of 2021 still to go.

Just Chatting is crushing every game on Twitch in 2020 – Dexerto
Just Chatting is crushing every game on Twitch in 2020 TwitchWith the continued growth of livestreaming across all platforms, streamers are able to broadcast just about anything, and Twitch is no longer a place reserved only for gamers, as Just Chatting has officially become the biggest category on the platform. [jwplayer KD1gIhoh] For a very long time, Twitch has been the go-to place for gamers to see the best of the best, whether it be skillful and entertaining streamers or elite esports competitors. More recently, though, the ‘Just Chatting’ section has been growing very strong, with people able to sit and chat with their viewers without playing any games, instead just discussing anything that might come up. While that has drawn some derision from fans who believe that Twitch should be a place for gaming, there is clearly an even bigger audience that firmly believes Just Chatting is perfect for Twitch. Just Chatting dominates Twitch categories According to a new report from StreamElements and Arsenal.gg, Just Chatting saw a 20% increase in hours watched between September and October. This means that the category has dominated the space since May, seeing six months of continued growth. This also means that year-on-year, Just Chatting has grown 202%, firmly fortifying its place on Twitch over the likes of League of Legends, Among Us and Fortnite. In October, fans might have expected to see League of Legends spring into the top place thanks to the League of Legends World Championship. Surprisingly, Just Chatting held on to its top spot. The category was propelled to the top by the likes of mizkif, ludwig, and others. Politics also played a big part in its success, thanks to the U.S. Election and political commentator HasanAbi, who has quickly become one of the biggest names on the platform. Elsewhere in the report, we can see that Among Us is slowly losing favor on Twitch. However, Phasmophobia and Genshin Impact saw meteoric rises when they were released, quickly becoming popular games among variety streamers. That said, it’s become clear that gaming isn’t everything on Twitch. It also means that aspiring streamers don’t need to get good at any games to go live; If they want to just sit and talk with an audience, that’s becoming more and more viable as time goes on.

Just 2.5% of Twitch partners will qualify for new Partner Plus program – Dexerto
Just 2.5% of Twitch partners will qualify for new Partner Plus program Twitter: TwitchCalculations have shown that just 1066 streamers will be able to qualify for Twitch’s new Partner Plus program. Despite Twitch introducing the policy in the wake of its talent jumping to alternative streaming sites with better revenue splits, like Kick and Rumble, the program will still not be available to the vast majority of streamers using Twitch. The best part of the Partner Plus program will be the 70/30 revenue split that would replace the 50/50 split currently used across the site. However, this still falls shy of Kick’s 95/5 offer, and what’s more, less than 3% of the entire site will be eligible for the program. Only around 1000 Twitch partners will qualify for Partner Plus To be eligible for the Partner Plus scheme, Twitch partners need to be able to maintain 350 recurring paid subscriptions for three months in a row, not including gifted subs. Statistics page Stream Charts crunched the numbers and discovered that out of the 42 thousand partnered streamers on Twitch, just 1066 of them were meeting the threshold to be eligible for the Partner Plus program. This means that the program would be available to just 2.5% of the partners on Twitch. Twitch explained the policy by saying: “Partners must maintain a sub count of at least 350 recurring paid subscriptions for three consecutive months. “Once that happens, Partners will be automatically enrolled for the next 12 months, even if you dip below the subscription threshold during the 12-month period.” Additionally, the new revenue split will only be paid out until you reach $100k in revenue, a decision that has prompted backlash from several Twitch streamers. Considering the momentum behind Kick at the moment, it’s tough to say if this will reassure anyone about Twitch’s management.

Jungkook heats things up with Usher remix Youtube: HYBE LabelsBTS member Jungkook revamps his “Standing Next to You” hit and enlists Usher for a hot new remix. It’s been a banner for Jungkook. The BTS member scored a bonafide smash with “Seven,” a collaboration with Latto, and released an acclaimed debut album. Within its first week, Jungkook’s Golden made history when it became the highest-debuting project for a K-pop soloist. Featuring such bangers as “3D” with Jack Harlow and “Yes or No,” the album pushed him into superstar status. Recently, Jungkook joined forces with Justin Timberlake for a fresh take on “3D” and now finds himself linking with another R&B force. Jungkook teams up with Usher for a steamy new remix On the heels of Timberlake’s “3D,” Jungkook enlists R&B icon Usher for a brand new remix of “Standing Next to You.” The original version of the song currently stands at 157 million streams and counting. Usher’s verse (unsurprisingly) goes down like a shot of whiskey. “So elegant and heaven sent these vibes, yeah / It’s way, way too early to leave, we go away,” Usher sings in his usual silkiness. The pre-chorus goes hot and heavy, as Usher continues, “You know that, all night long, we rock to this / Screamin’, I’ll testify this lovin’ / All night long, we flock to this / Screamin’, I’ll testify that / We’ll survive the test of time.” Jungkook, whom fans have compared to the legendary Michael Jackson, hits his stride with the new rendition.

Fans were quick to point out his “versatility as an artist.” By the sound of things, Jungkook is well on his way to becoming a household name in the States.

Julia Rose speaks out on Jake Paul split after he’s spotted with new girl – Dexerto
Julia Rose speaks out on Jake Paul split after he’s spotted with new girl Instagram: juliaroseforpresident / jakepaulModel Julia Rose has spoken out about her breakup with YouTuber Jake Paul after an image was posted of him kissing another woman. Jake Paul is one of the biggest YouTubers out there, with millions of subscribers on his main channel, and he’s also one of the highest-earning creators on the platform, largely thanks to his lucrative boxing career. Jake and model Julia Rose started dating in 2020, with the pair sharing their relationship through a series of social media posts over the years. However, in February 2022, Paul ignited rumors that the couple had broken up with his tweet that read: “Alexa, play ‘I’m Single’ by Jake Paul.” He also went on to unfollow Rose on Instagram. The rumors were further fuelled when Instagram model Sky Bri reposted an image to her story of Paul kissing her on the beach. Breakup theories were confirmed in March when Rose slammed Paul in a response to one of his comments on social media. Underneath an Instagram post, the YouTuber wrote: “God damn u honestly are so f**king hot it’s ridiculous.” Rose then replied: “@realskybri @emilysalch either of you wanna come claim him since you’re so eager to post him? Prime example of why I broke up with him. Feel free to post more sh*t to make me feel better about my decision.” So far, Jake hasn’t responded to Julia’s claims that she was the one who broke up with him, nor has he elaborated on exactly why their relationship ended. According to Page Six, an “insider” reportedly said that Paul is “devastated” about the split, so many fans are waiting on the YouTuber to talk about the breakup in more detail.

July’s fastest growing Twitch channels may prove the Fortnite bubble is bursting – Dexerto
July’s fastest growing Twitch channels may prove the Fortnite bubble is bursting Epic GamesJuly’s fastest growing Fortnite may be weaning, with some of the game’s biggest names plummeting down the list. The growth of Twitch channels is a good way to see what games are popular on the streaming platform, with streamers who broadcast the most popular games regularly rising up the ranks as the fastest growing channels. The release of Teamfight Tactics has helped a number of streamers have huge jumps in their growth in terms of followers, however another surprising side effect is the lack of growth in channels who are linked to battle royale game Fortnite. Surprisingly though, World of Warcraft streamers make up a quarter of the top 20, with streamers such as zperfection_tv and German emmadizzy sitting in fifth and sixth respectively. Teamfight Tactics has served NZXT’s channel very well as it sits third, while Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang, who has also been grinding Riot’s auto-chess game just missed out on the top 20. Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney remains the fastest growing channel on Twitch, streaking ahead of his nearest competition by 20,000 followers, however Fortnite appears to be the big loser in July, with Fortnite channels struggling. Even Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, who is widely recognized as the biggest streamer on the platform, hasn’t seen the incredible growth he is used to, sitting all the way down in 18th position for July’s channels. The fact that Fortnite streamers are perhaps seeing a downturn in growth comes as little surprise, with a June report from Nielsen stating that the game’s overall earnings had plummeted by 38% between compared to the same period last year. Whether this is just a blip thanks to the early popularity of Fortnite remains to be seen, but it’s telling that only two Fortnite streamers rank in the top ten fastest growing channels on the site.

Julia Rose rages at fan demanding boyfriend Jake Paul “fight a boxer” – Dexerto
Julia Rose rages at fan demanding boyfriend Jake Paul “fight a boxer” Instagram/JakepaulJake Paul’s girlfriend made quite a scene by defending her man from a fan demanding the YouTuber fight an actual boxer following his latest KO victory against former UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Julia Rose has been a strong supporter of her boyfriend Jake Paul and has shown she’s willing to throw down if anyone tries to start beef with her lover. In the past, the Instagram model revealed she tried to get a fight going with the girlfriend of Paul’s planned boxing opponent, Tommy Fury, to coincide with their match. Unfortunately, Molly-Mae Hague turned down the wagers. While she hasn’t yet been able to throw punches at adversaries, she has, however, stepped in to fight off fans critical of her partner’s success. And let’s just say, if her fists are anything like her words, she could be a future champion. Julia Rose fights off Jake Paul hater In a post on Instagram, Julia celebrated her Christmas with Jake, uploading a photo of the two kissing. In the comments, a fan simply commented, “fight a boxer” accompanied by a laughing emoji. Paul has been criticized in the past for only fighting other influencers or athletes from different sports. Rose, however, was having none of it and unleashed a tirade on the fan, attacking both him and Tommy Fury in the process. “Please shut the f**k up respectfully,” she retaliated. “He tried to fight a boxer and that ‘boxer’ was a f**king pu**y. You fight a f**king boxer.” Of course, Paul was scheduled to duke it out with Tommy Fury before the Love Island star pulled out due to medical reasons resulting in Tyron Woodley getting his rematch opportunity. Considering how much Rose has Paul’s back, it will be fun to see if she ever gets her chance to fight alongside him at an event of some sort in the near future. Until then, don’t mess with her!
