Gabbie Hanna kicks out “stranger” who gained access to her home by lying TikTok: gabbiehannaYouTuber Gabbie Hanna has uploaded another slew of TikTok videos, claiming her home was broken into, kicking a stranger out of her home, and that she was sent for a psychiatric evaluation as viewers continue to express concern for the influencer. Gabbie Hanna is an OG YouTuber, TikTok star, author, and musician who has sparked worry from her fanbase over the past few days. The drama started when Hanna suddenly uploaded over 100 videos to TikTok on August 23 after a fan mocked her for saying she wanted to “save the world.” The YouTuber posted a swath of emotional videos shortly afterward, in which she discussed topics like religion, race, philosophical views and even “starving babies.” Viewers took to the comments section asking the influencer to get help, worried for her mental health — especially after one particular video where she screamed “help me” into a mirror. Shortly thereafter, Hanna’s sister took to social media to explain the situation, claiming that her family are “doing what can be done from here,” as they are in Pennsylvania and Hanna is in Los Angeles. On August 25, Hanna uploaded another slew of videos to TikTok — 30, at the time of writing — in some of which she claimed her home was broken into. At first, Hanna said a man came to her door asking to use the bathroom. She let him in and noted that he declined her offer of coffee as “he must’ve realized that he’d be leaving behind DNA.” “Luckily, he still left me his fingerprints,” she added. The individual in question is a man named ‘Nick’, who said he went to her home because people online were saying she needed help. When Gabbie realized he was not just a random man off the street and in fact someone who knew about her and the situation, she promptly kicked him out. That’s not all; Hanna also stated that she was then “cuffed and detained by five officers who busted into my house through the back door because I exercised my free speech and religion.” Hanna then claimed that she was almost “dragged off to a hospital” by two psych evaluation specialists, but “luckily I’m smart, educated, kind, and brave.” This video follows another clip she updated the day prior, where she claimed her house had been broken into with no additional information. Hanna has also responded to comments worried about her health, such as this one where a viewer claimed she was “in a manic state.” Other videos Hanna uploaded included talk of “archangels” and “miracles.” Gabbie Hanna claims she’s lost access to Twitter & Instagram accounts In one of her final uploads in the haul, Hanna also claimed that “dad told me to say” she no longer has access to her Twitter or Instagram accounts “because I didn’t want it.” She then fell into laughter before finishing her statement, captioning the video “I think he’s about to perform a miracle, but I’m not too sure.” It’s unclear if her use of ‘dad’ in the video means her biological father or not. For now, viewers are continuing to send their support to the star in wake of her latest mass TikTok upload.

Gabbie Hanna claims she’s permanently quitting internet with most bizarre video yet – Dexerto
Gabbie Hanna claims she’s permanently quitting internet with most bizarre video yet Instagram, Gabbie HannaYouTuber Gabbie Hanna has announced that she will be “offline entirely” “from here on out” as she felt her “mental health [was] being compromised”. The announcement comes after several months of drama with other influencers including Trisha Paytas. Hanna posted attached a lengthy caption making the announcement to her latest YouTube video. Posted on July 20, the video shows Hanna naked in a bathtub singing a song titled “Sorry… I’m Late.” Speaking on the subject of her career and fame, Hanna said “I knew coming into this that it would be difficult, but I wasn’t able to handle it the way I thought I was.” Hannah went on to say how she hates being caught up in drama online. She says that after posting a recent series of videos on her channel, “I took a step back into the real world where I’m a pretty happy and chill person. Online, I’m a version of me that I really can’t stand”. Hanna also discussed at length in the caption dealing with her ADHD diagnosis and warned people that “to say someone’s disability doesn’t affect them in a certain way because it doesn’t affect YOU a certain way is incredibly ableist.” Hanna’s beef with other influencers Hanna has had several feuds with other influencers over the last few months. One of the most well-known is her feud with fellow influencer and YouTuber Trisha Paytas. The YouTuber called Paytas “obsessed”, “f***ing nasty” and “the Perez Hilton of our generation” in a 41-minute video that was posted to her channel. In another video, she claimed YouTuber Jessi Smiles was her “abuser”. Many viewers called Gabbie’s comments “disgusting” and “delusional” and Smiles later responded to the accusation. Joey Graceffa once described Gabbie Hanna as being “truly awful”. This was after she put out a video accusing the video creator and Daniel Preda of “cruelty and bullying” in June 2021. The next month, she also started a feud with British YouTuber Angelika Oles. At one point, people even started a fake hashtag as a joke called “#RIPGabbieHanna” that trended on Twitter.

Gabbie Hanna apologizes after being slammed for “ableist” comments – Dexerto
Gabbie Hanna apologizes after being slammed for “ableist” comments YouTube: Gabbie HannaYouTuber and singer Gabbie Hanna has apologized to fans after she came under fire for “ableist” comments regarding tone indicators on Twitter. Gabbie Hanna first found success on viral-video app Vine, but after the platform shut down in 2016, the content creator moved onto YouTube where she now has over six million subscribers on her main channel. She’s also gone on to release two poetry books and pursue a singing career, releasing several singles, however, the star has been widely criticized online on apps like TikTok for previous controversial behavior. This time, the controversy surrounded comments she made online regarding tone indicators. Tone indicators are letters and symbols that some people put at the end of their tweets to clarify the individual’s emotion and intent, and are widely used among neurodivergent people online. In response to a Twitter user’s explanation and list of useful tone indicators, Gabbie replied: “y’all be doing way too f***ing much,” and when the user asked, “sis, where’s your tone indicator?” the YouTuber replied, “my tone is y’all doing way too f***ing much.” However, she was immediately met with backlash, many people calling her comments “ableist.” This then lead to the influencer posting an apology on Twitter. “Sorry to any of my neurodivergent fans who were hurt by that,” she wrote. “I hope you know that’s never my intention. Today is the first day I heard the term tone indicators, I thought my fans were f***ing with me for being sensitive. Ironically, this could have been avoided with a tone indicator” https://twitter.com/GabbieHanna/status/1365847532903952384 The poster of the original tone indicators list then explained some more background information behind the tweets. She clarified that: “my tweet about tone indicators DID stem from a Patreon livestream that had JUST ended. When Gabbie said ‘ya’ll be doin too much’ she meant us, her patrons.” She went on to say that “it was an inside joke taken out of context, not a dig at people who need tone indicators.” https://twitter.com/GabbieHanna/status/1365875203998289921 Gabbie then quote-tweeted that comment and added: “I deadass thought Rachel made that list for me as a joke because I was butthurt on Patreon about them roasting me for starting my album over.” People’s response to the situation was mixed, but the conversation around her comments eventually ended up getting Gabbie Hanna to trend on Twitter.

Gabbie Hanna addresses fan concern after “worrying” TikToks – Dexerto
Gabbie Hanna addresses fan concern after “worrying” TikToks Instagram: gabbiehannaInfluencer Gabbie Hanna has responded to concerns about her wellbeing, following a series of videos she uploaded to TikTok in August. On August 23, fans of internet personality Gabbie Hanna grew concerned when the 31-year-old began uploading a series of “worrying” videos to TikTok, in which she discussed a variety of topics including religion and death. She was also called out for comments many described as “racist.” She posted over 100 videos within a 24-hour-period, including several in which she documented letting a stranger named Nick into her home, who claimed he needed to use her bathroom. She eventually filmed herself kicking him out, with many fans claiming they were “terrified” for the influencer. It was later reported by TMZ that the LAPD had visited Gabbie after receiving an influx of calls. Medical professionals reportedly had a “long chat” with the influencer, but they “determined she didn’t pose a threat to herself or anyone else” and “allowed her to remain in her home.” Gabbie Hanna responds to fan concerns On September 2, Gabbie uploaded a number of videos in which she addressed the situation from the week prior. “Yes, I was manic. I am bipolar. I’ve talked about it, you can scroll back, it’s no secret I’m bipolar,” she said. “But I’ve never experienced a manic state, I’ve only ever experienced a hypomanic state, so that was actually a brand new thing for me that I was experiencing in real-time with all of you guys.” Speaking about the individual she let into her house, she added: “So, after I kicked him out of my house, I was pretty shaken and hurt to be honest, because this city is so f**king evil, like straight up. And no matter what happens to me, I still fight so hard to just try to do the right thing and the kind thing because I don’t want to be one of those people who turns people away in their moment of need.” Gabbie recounted her experience of the police then arriving at her house and handcuffing her, explaining that she was initially confused about why they were there, believing it to be something to do with the stranger who had just left. She went on to discuss the police response, calling out their lack of internal communication: “I believe that a lot of the cops that show up have good intentions, they’re just doing their job, but they don’t communicate with each other, so now I’m the target of the police getting angry that calls are coming in about it.” Although acknowledging that she was in a manic state, Gabbie did go on to clarify: “I also am not going to invalidate my own spiritual experiences because I do still believe in the divine, I’ve always on my platform talked about being psychic, and made a lot of videos about my ghost stories, and that stuff is still real to me.” Gabbie said that she will be going back to therapy, adding that she’s “currently looking for a therapist who is also spiritual and won’t invalidate my spirituality or my beliefs.”

Gabbie Hanna and RiceGum in talks for potential boxing match – Dexerto
Gabbie Hanna and RiceGum in talks for potential boxing match YouTube: RiceGum, The Gabbie ShowThe most unexpected influencer boxing match of all time could be happening between RiceGum and Gabbie Hanna, if text messages between the two are anything to go by. RiceGum and Gabbie Hanna are both fairly popular YouTubers, although each has weathered their fair share of drama in the past. However, it seems that there’s still a grudge between them due to a major scandal from four years ago. In 2017, the YouTubers were attending the same party when Gabbie decided to “challenge” RiceGum to a rap battle, as recorded in a series of Snapchat stories. The two went back and forth for a bit while sitting on a sofa before Hanna’s story cut to a darkened corner, showing her wearing a shocked expression. According to Hanna, RiceGum “didn’t think that joke was very funny and he hit me in the middle of a party and shattered my phone.” It appears that this drama is still a topic of conversation between the two, with RiceGum pulling up purported text messages with Hanna during a live stream that showed him proposing a fight with her. “Yo, set up that boxing match with me,” RiceGum asks. “I’ve deada** thought about it and figured there would be 0% chance you’d be down,” Hanna replies. “You said it in this video,” RiceGum answers, linking a video of Hanna’s Snapchat stories from 2017. “People would go crazy $$$.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1400187547200868353 “Damn, sure did, I forgot about that,” she responded. “I’m open to exploring it and getting some rates / offers.” This potential bout certainly comes as a surprise, as the entire internet currently has their eyes fixed on the upcoming match between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather (not to mention YouTubers vs TikTokers and Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley). While this would be the first time a male and female influencer throw down in the ring, it isn’t the first time a woman content creator has been interested in boxing; Tana Mongeau notably called out her ex-girlfriend, Bella Thorne, for a match, which seemed to be accepted by none other than Corinna Kopf. For now, all fans can do is watch and wait to see if this possibility bears any fruit.

G4 TV reboot shuts down less than a year after its initial launch – Dexerto
G4 TV reboot shuts down less than a year after its initial launch G4 MediaIt has been reported that the new reboot of G4 TV – the gaming channel and network – has been shut down as of October 16, 2022 despite only being brought back recently. Less than a year after relaunching, Comcast’s reboot of the 2000s gaming channel G4 TV has been shut down, the network no longer being worked on in spite of how recently the reimagining was put together. As first reported by Deadline, a memo was sent out to all remaining staff by David Scott. Scott – the current CEO of parent company Spectator, wrote in the memo how part of this decision was due to “the company’s investment and efforts to revive the network” and how they “just didn’t gain traction.” The CEO also went on to say how, “over the past several months, we worked hard to generate that interest in G4, but viewership is low and the network has not achieved sustainable financial results. This is certainly not what we hoped for, and, as a result, we have made the very difficult decision to discontinue G4’s operations, effective immediately.” Many were worried about the future of G4 after the network underwent major layoffs last month, However, for those still working at the network, the news that it is being shut down for good appears to have come out of nowhere. Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez revealed on Twitter that he “was in active negotiations for [his] new contract with G4.” Many employees – and those who had been working with the network in some capacity – have taken to social media, revealing that Deadline’s initial report was the first they had heard about losing their job. Employee Emily Rose discovered she had lost her job via the initial report from Deadline when she was flying home to attend her grandfather’s funeral. G4 was first developed back in 2002 and was run under Dish Network and NBCUniversal. During its initial run, G4 featured a number of well-known and high-profile personalities, with the likes of Olivia Munn, Kevin Pereira, and Chirs Hardwick all appearing as hosts during the early 2000s. Pereira has said the news of G4’s recent cancellation “not exactly unexpected” but that it is still a massive disappointment for a myriad of reasons.”

Gabbie Hanna accused of “blackfishing” after dramatic YouTube return – Dexerto
Gabbie Hanna accused of “blackfishing” after dramatic YouTube return Instagram: Gabbie HannaPopular YouTuber and former Vine star Gabbie Hanna has been accused of “blackfishing” after dramatically returning to the internet from a 6-week hiatus. On Tuesday, Gabbie revealed the reason behind her break from social media and went into detail about trauma she has suffered in the past in a 46-minute long video uploaded to YouTube. In the video she discussed the reasons behind her “breakdown” and alluded to her relationship with Jessi “Smiles” Vasquez, mentioning an abusive friendship. Gabbie also mentioned being “shadow-banned” by YouTube, which the company denied in an interview with Insider. Towards the end of the video, she revealed that she would soon be releasing a single about Trish Paytas, an influencer with whom she’s feuded with for two years, saying: “the first single from my album is coming out next month…it was actually written about Trisha Paytas for Trisha Paytas, but I’ll talk about that and explain that in another video.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZnsBimp1Fo&feature=emb_logo In June and July, Gabbie Hanna became the subject of ridicule online after she began displaying concerning behavior. On June 29 Gabbie she tweeted: “I’m saying this again publicly out of fear. If something happens to me/my loved ones, it’s not an accident.” To make matters worse Gabbie became a meme on TikTok after appearing on Box of Thoughts podcast episode where she quickly went from sounding angry to singing a song. Gabbie quickly disappeared from the internet, leading some people to even theorize that she was dead. Now Gabbie has made a comeback, and alongside her explanation video, she posted a set of five selfies to her twitter and Instagram featuring a new bleach blonde bob and a heavy tan. Several users on Twitter suggested she was “blackfishing”, a term used for when white women use makeup and tanning to look as though they have black ancestry. Girl noooo oh my god not the tan not blackface please — THANK YOU FOR 100K!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (@mayapologies19) August 18, 2020 One user tweeted in response, “Girl nooo oh my god not the tan, not blackface please,” which garnered more than 1,500 likes. Another person wrote, “Gabbie Hanna is blackfishing try to change my mind.” gabbie hanna is black fishing try to change my mind pic.twitter.com/EnzI5IXsTp — moonlight (fan account) (@ponytailxari) August 19, 2020 Despite a break of over a month and taking the time to address the hate she has received, including death threats, Gabbie Hanna still can’t catch a break.

G2 CEO Ocelote fires back at NICKMERCS for roasting his org – Dexerto
G2 CEO Ocelote fires back at NICKMERCS for roasting his org Oceloteworld/NICKMERCSG2 Esports CEO Carlos ‘Ocelote’ Rodriguez has roasted FaZe NICKMERCS after the CoD and Fortnite streamer claimed he gets more Twitch viewers than the entire G2 organization. On February 11, NICKMERCS and Ali ‘SypherPk’ Hassan announced G2 pro player Sean ‘Coop’ Cooper as the third member of their Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) trios squad. The squad took part in the first qualifier, finishing 39th in the NA East region. During the stream, G2’s official Twitter account took a cheeky jab at NICKMERCS, tweeting one screengrab of Coop getting a win and another screengrab of NICKMERCS on the floor needing revival. It was captioned: “How @G2Coop plays Fortnite [vs] how @NICKMERCS plays Fortnite.” NICKMERCS responded with a roast of his own. “I get more viewers than your entire org combined, don’t @ me cringe2,” he said. I get more viewers then ur entire org combined, don’t @ me cringe2. — FaZe Nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) February 13, 2021 While most CEO’s tend to keep a low profile, Ocelote is a big exemption from that rule. Given his history, it’s not exactly surprising he came out all guns blazing to defend his organization, as he launched a tirade against NICKMERCS. “lmaooooo fragile Frederick ease up you degenerate,” one tweet said. “It is mandatory in faze clan’s 80/20 contracts to have a fragile ego,” said another. Read More: Ninja disputes claims he quit Fortnite – Ocelote then listed off the viewing figures of players represented by G2 Esports, after boasting about top Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos ‘quadrupling’ NICKMERCS’ viewing figures “while watching marble races.” https://twitter.com/CarlosR/status/1360604769111449600 Ocelote wasn’t the only esports executive to get involved. FaZe owner Alexander ‘Adapt’ Prynkiewicz backed his man NICKMERCS, as he tweeted: “LMAO TALK TO EM.” After the extensive war of words between G2 and FaZe, fans will be glad to know that the two camps have since reached a truce. Ocelote later tweeted, “Just spoke with @NICKMERCS. We good.” NICKMERCS then replied with a simple gif, bringing the end to a rather delicious piece of Twitter beef. Kolcheff and his squad will look to finish in the NA East regional top 250 to qualify for the next round of the FNCS.

G2 Esports CEO Carlos takes shot at FaZe Clan over “scams” controversy – Dexerto
G2 Esports CEO Carlos takes shot at FaZe Clan over “scams” controversy Twitter, @CarlosR / FaZeAfter a tweet from FaZe Clan stating people could join the organization for 24 hours went viral, the founder of G2 Esports, Carlos ‘Ocelote’ Rodriguez, decided to have a little bit of a laugh at the org’s expense. Social media managers all over the world are probably laughing at the thought of FaZe’s Twitter notifications right now. On August 19, just three days before their Call of Duty League team was set to compete in the championship series, the org released a tweet with a promise they won’t forget: “If @ATLFaZe wins Champs we’ll let everyone who liked this tweet join FaZe.” Just three days later, thousands of Twitter members’ dreams were about to come true as Simp, Cellium, aBeZy, and Arcitys dominated the stage and took the championship trophy back to Atlanta. After announcing how to join the org for 24 hours, social media was taken over by tens of thousands of accounts sporting the signature “FaZe” in front of their name. And that excitement was balanced by some… less loving responses. G2Esports Carlos responds to FaZe’s open invite In typical Ocelote fashion, he pulled no punches, tweeting: “Signed. Let me know in the comments what should be my first scam.” This isn’t Ocelote’s first time taking a shot at the organization, either. In early 2021, the founder roasted co-owner NICKMERCS on his Fortnite playstyle. He went on to have a few interactions with the leader of the MFAM before ultimately tweeting that he had talked to him and they were all good. https://twitter.com/CarlosR/status/1431165933461123073?s=20 Even considering his past beef with FaZe Clan, it’s not entirely obvious whether or not the G2 Esports founder is trying to be malicious or just having fun. He has become incredibly renown for his spicy tweets on the esports landscape, but who knows it FaZe will take the bait and respond.

G FUEL reveal PewDiePie shaker cup design – Dexerto
G FUEL reveal PewDiePie shaker cup design G FUELG FUEL have finally released a brand new shaker cup design for YouTube star Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg and it’s on sale now. PewDiePie has had a G FUEL sponsorship since the beginning of 2019, something you might’ve noticed if you tune into his videos on a regular basis. The hit content creator tends to upload videos daily and big fans of the Swede will have noticed him plugging either his Tuber Simulator game or including some advertisements for the official energy drink of esports, sometimes even both in the same video. One thing that some people might have felt Pewds was always lacking, though, was an exclusive shaker cup design. However, that has been remedied as buyers can now get their hands on not only the custom cup design, but a 3-pack of the popular energy drink as well, for $14.99. The cup itself features the same design, or pattern, PewDiePie has on his chair and headphones, so fans should be able to easily recognize it right away. G FUEL released a short 20 second trailer for the new releasel, which you can check out below. :fire: #GFUEL x @pewdiepie :fire: “THE PEWDIEPIE” CUP IS FINALLY HERE! And would ya’ just look at it?! It’s got that pure, minimalist, Scandinavian flare that Pewds oozes! Get yours today!!! • 3 Pack Included • 25 Ounce “Tall Boy” • Glow-In-The-DarkSHOP: https://t.co/OuEAyKz0AS pic.twitter.com/abm2cKVyZz — G FUEL® (@GFuelEnergy) May 15, 2019 It’s a minimalistic design, but it should be enough to please long-time fans of the YouTuber. Although he has his own cup now, he is still missing out on his own flavor. Other creators such as Dr Disrespect, KEEMSTAR and FaZe have their own flavors, so it’s a bit surprising to see someone as big as high profile as PewDiePie not have his own. Perhaps something else could be in the works there? How can you buy Pewds’ shaker cup? If you’re interested in picking up the new shaker cup design, you can do so at G FUEL’s website. You can either use this link or go to the official website, click on new arrivals, and find it right away. What you won’t be able to do is pick the three flavors it comes with – Sour Cherry, Peach Mango and Cherry Limeade.

Fyre Festival is back: No lineup, no location, and some very expensive tickets – Dexerto
Fyre Festival is back: No lineup, no location, and some very expensive tickets Billy McFarlandConvicted con artist Billy McFarland is not backing down after 2017’s disastrous Fyre Festival. In fact, he’s bringing it back and tickets are already on sale. If you’re into music festivals, you have probably heard of Fyre Festival. Scheduled to take place in 2017 on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma, the event was postponed indefinitely after experiencing a number of problems. Issues with security, food, accommodation, medical services, and a lack of artists all contributed to Fyre Festival’s ultimate failure. In October 2018, the festival’s founder, Billy McFarland, was sentenced to prison and the festival was officially labeled as fraudulent. Now, six years later, Farland is back and ready for round two. Posting to YouTube, Farland announced the official return of Fyre Festival, revealing he had prepared a 50-page business plan for the event. “This is a big day. It has been the absolute wildest journey to get here, and it really all started during a seventh-month stint in solitary confinement,” Farland said. “I wrote out this 50-page plan of how it would take this overall interest and demand in Fyre and how it would take my ability to bring people from around the world together to make the impossible happen.” Claiming to be working with the “best partners in the world”, Farland is already selling pre-sale tickets on the festival’s official website. While currently selling for $499, ticket prices go up to a whopping $7,999. Despite the hefty cost to attend, Farland has yet to announce anything concrete for the festival. There are no set dates, though Fyre Festival 2 “is targeted for the end of 2024”; no specific location, though it’ll be somewhere in the Caribbean; and there is no line-up… For anyone considering investing in Fyre Festival 2, we recommend first watching one of the documentaries made on Farland’s first festival attempt in order to make an education decision: Hulu’s Fyre Fraud, or Netflix’s Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Alongside the flavor reveal, they opened up an early access waitlist for those looking to buy the potential product.

Fwiz makes hilarious comparison between Nadeshot and The Office’s Michael Scott – Dexerto
Fwiz makes hilarious comparison between Nadeshot and The Office’s Michael Scott NBC / Instagram: Nadeshot / FwizWhen thinking of incredible business leaders, Michael Scott from the cult comedy The Office is likely low on the list. But after watching the 100 Thieves house tour, that’s exactly who Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag reminded Ryan ‘Fwiz’ Wyatt of. While many think of Nadeshot as the cool owner of 100 Thieves, who create some of the most popular esports streetwear and apparel on the market, his appearances in 100 Thieves content often show his extremely likeable goofy side, much to the enjoyment of viewers. That rang true for YouTube Global Head of Gaming, and longtime friend of Nadeshot, Fwiz, who hilariously compared him to bumbling Dunder Mifflin Regional Manager Michael Scott from The Office, tweeting: “Watching clips of Nadeshot acting like a real Michael Scott to 100 Thieves employees and team members has made my entire week.” Watching clips of @Nadeshot acting like a real Michael Scott to @100Thieves employees and team members has made my entire week. — Ryan Wyatt (@Fwiz) May 23, 2019 In a hilarious video uploaded to the 100 Thieves YouTube channel, Nadeshot can be seen giving fans a tour of the new team house, with some incredible interactions with staff and players, including the former CoD pro begging his team to win him a trophy while they tried to practice. Viewers witnessed the 100 Thieves CEO hilariously ask what position Joseph ‘JungleJuice’ Jang currently held at the company, finding out he had been moved up to assistant coach of the LoL team. “Oh, Joe got a promotion!” Nadeshot laughed. “I didn’t do that! I’m glad you did, you do a lot of great work for 100 Thieves. That’s a bad look, we should keep that in there.” Clip starts at 11:04 for mobile users. An awkward encounter with star League of Legends players Bae ‘Bang’ Jun-sik also had fans in stitches, as the confused Korean asked Nadeshot to explain his quip that he was “dressed like money.” You look like money @Bang :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: pic.twitter.com/3hgbfBa4mE — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) May 23, 2019 Michael Scott, the bumbling regional manager of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in the comedy mockumentary The Office, is revered by fans of the show for the incredibly funny, but often cringe-worthy moments that delighted viewers for seven seasons. While it’s severely unlike that Nadeshot has, or even wanted to, look at Michael Scott as a figure to model his management style from, his goofy jokes and positive attitude in the face of coworkers are definitely reminiscent of Dunder Mifflin’s head honcho and the incredibly popular show. How much further Nadeshot takes his Michael Scott comparison remains to be seen, but don’t be surprised to see 100 Thieves giving out their own version of the ‘Dundie Awards’ in the future.

Fwiz reveals the most popular game on YouTube and it’s not Fortnite – Dexerto
Fwiz reveals the most popular game on YouTube and it’s not Fortnite FwizFortnite Battle Royale is the game that everyone is talking about at the moment, but that doesn’t mean it’s the biggest one on YouTube. According to a new report from The Verge, the incredibly popular Epic Games title is still unable to compete with the Minecraft for supremacy on the Google owned video sharing platform. The article quotes Ryan ‘Fwiz’ Wyatt, the director of gaming content and partnerships at YouTube, as saying that Fortnite “has not taken off in every single market.” Fwiz acknowledged the fact that battle royale games, and Fortnite in particular, have blown up over the last two years, but told The Verge that “Minecraft is still our biggest game globally.” According to the former Call of Duty commentator, Fortnite can appear even bigger than it really is to people in western Europe and the US because “it’s a very westernized look when you look at just the Fortnite lens.” Minecraft had almost 75 million monthly players in January of 2018 so it shouldn’t be too surprising to hear that it is still one of the most viewed games on YouTube. Fwiz went on to explain that mobile games are beginning to see massive growth in other countries and regions and that this is “pretty underrepresented in the West.” So, Fortnite might have taken over the western world in 2018, but that doesn’t mean that every region is as hooked on it as we are! “I think there are a lot of things that are happening outside of the US, outside of Western Europe, that are causing a lot of growth for gaming on YouTube,” Fwiz concluded.

Fwiz and Nadeshot on why mobile games could be the future of gaming – Dexerto
Fwiz and Nadeshot on why mobile games could be the future of gaming PUBG mobile rapidly increasing in popularity in countries such as India and other Eastern countries. In the latest episode “Selfmade” podcast, Nadeshot and Fwiz expressed their opinions on the role that the mobile games industry would play in the next few years and how it stacks up against the more traditional forms of console and PC gaming. Fwiz started by explaining that many gamers outside of the West may never own PC’s and consoles that can run highly intensive games and listed mobile gaming as a viable alternative, claiming that the mobile games industry will continue to grow massively and play a vital role in the future of gaming. “So what they’ll have access to is mobile phones” He said, “I think the mobile games industry is going to continue to grow massively.” Read More: Fortnite and Minecraft as the most watched games on YouTube, saying, “We have two out of our top 10 games globally that are mobile games watched.” Topic starts at 41:25 for mobile users. Shortly after, Fwiz also predicted that mobile games would see rapid improvement alongside the development of smartphone technology. “As hardware improves in mobile phones, so do the games they’re not inherently casual anymore like Candy Crush.” The 100 Thieves owner later agreed with Fwiz’ breakdown of the mobile gaming trend, even mentioning 100 Thieves’ investment in a Clash Royale esports team during their first year, saying, “We had a Clash Royale team at one point, there are a lot of mobile games I thoroughly enjoy.” Nadeshot also explained that although he agrees with Fwiz, he could not see himself ever picking up FPS games on his phone such as PUBG mobile while comparing the two platforms. “I’m still never going to be able to get down on a first person shooter on mobile” He expressed, “Like when I see PUBG Mobile, I’m just thinking to myself, Man, this sucks.” Despite his lack of interest in playing mobile FPS games himself, Nadeshot later said that he doesn’t understand why people go out of their way to hate on mobile games. –

Fwiz Explains the Challenge YouTube Faces to Grow Esports Live Event Viewership Against Twitch – Dexerto
Fwiz Explains the Challenge YouTube Faces to Grow Esports Live Event Viewership Against Twitch As a former esports caster and host, now head of YouTube Gaming, Ryan “Fwiz” Wyatt is perhaps the most well suited individual to lead YouTube in its quest to increase its share of the esports broadcasting pie. However, as Fwiz himself explains, the head start which Amazon owned Twitch has on YouTube is major hurdle for them, as well as balancing the risk and reward dilemma of challenging Twitch’s dominance in the esports space. Appearing on a recent episode the ‘Esports Salon’ podcast, hosted by popular CS:GO analyst and self-proclaimed ‘esports historian’ Duncan “Thorin” Shields, Fwiz broke down exactly the challenges facing YouTube. YouTube Gaming has been a wholly successful venture so far, tying in with YouTube’s live streaming capabilities (similarities with Twitch are clear with loyalty badges for ‘sponsors’ and ability to donate to streamers, as well as filters by game), but it is yet to topple their rival. While YouTube has plenty top streamers who can attract thousands of viewers regularly, what they are perhaps missing out on is the hardened esports audience, over which Twitch holds somewhat of a monopoly. “Twitch has a very unique model, where they are a live-native platform and live-first, and they’re just trying to grow their unique user base. They kind of groomed and started esports. The difficulty for us is, we are so big on how many unique users we have watching gaming content on YouTube, that you’ve got to be able to justify doing licensing deals, if they are going to add incremental users to the platform.” What Fwiz is referring to here as ‘licensing deals’ is attaining rights to broadcast live esports events, which YouTube has done more frequently over recent years, particularly in CS:GO with the ESL Pro League. Fwiz explains that he and the YouTube team are doubtful as to whether these exclusive licensing deals for esports events actually bolsters the “unique user base”, or are they simply forcing viewers to, temporarily, watch the content elsewhere from the norm (Twitch). “The case is still out on: if you license this content – any content for that matter – and bring it over exclusively to YouTube, are you actually increasing the unique user base, or are you just displacing what they’re watching?” More: CS:GO Commentator HenryG Makes “Colossal Error” While Travelling to StarLadder Season 5 Finals – YouTube does however hold a dominance – where Twitch dominates live esports events, YouTube’s domain is the VOD content such as match highlights and event vlogs, or as Fwiz calls it “ancillary human interest content.” “If you are just displacing them from watching human interest pieces to just watching the live stream, it is really hard to rationalize the investment in licensing.” Update – Since posting this article, Fwiz has clarified that his points relate mainly to the growth of esports as a genre, and believes the popularity of gaming content on YouTube already can be a vehicle for this. Not entirely the point I was making. Has much less to do with Twitch, and much more of what it takes to make Esports bigger… which, in my opinion, is converting the mass gaming audience on YT to be interested in Esports. — Ryan Wyatt (@Fwiz) May 29, 2018 You can watch the full episode of Esports Salon below, with Fwiz’s discussion of YouTube and live esports content beginning at around the 7:00 minute mark.

Fuslie’s Twitch stream ends in tears as fans predict move to YouTube – Dexerto
Fuslie’s Twitch stream ends in tears as fans predict move to YouTube Twitch: FuslieTwitch streamer Fuslie ended her stream in an emotional state on August 31, with viewers saying “goodbye” in the chat – with expectations of a move to YouTube Gaming rising. Fuslie, a frequent collaborator with OTV members as well as Valkyrae and others, is now expected to be the next Twitch streamer to make the switch to YouTube, but nothing is official yet. On her August 31 stream, she suddenly become emotional, and didn’t try to hide it, explaining she was just going to “sit here and cry.” Viewers filled the chat with messages like “it’s been an honor” and “it’s been an awesome journey.” Fuslie, speaking through the tears, said “Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making my life what it is. Every day I wake up so damn grateful because of the life that I have and it’s all because of you. “And I know all my friends feel this way too, we always talk with each other, we’re always like ‘dude, we’re so fortunate, we’re so lucky, how did this happen,’ it feels like such a fluke.” “All these opportunities I get,” Fuslie continued, “all the sponsors – people meme me for being the ‘sponsor queen’ – but I literally get that because they see how well my community responds to these things.” Fuslie even addressed suggestions that she “fell off” since the ‘Among Us’ era, when viewership was at its highest. “It’s great because a lot of you are out there getting jobs, going to school, getting degrees, dating, spending time with family, and that’s awesome.” However, Fuslie stopped short of explaining what exactly caused her to become so emotional. All signs point to a move to rival platform YouTube, following in the footsteps of LilyPichu and Sykkuno, but nothing is confirmed yet. If Fuslie does make the switch, she will be leaving behind 1.2 million followers on Twitch, where she averages around 8,500 viewers.

Future baby filter goes viral as TikToker uses it to rate compatibility of her exes – Dexerto
Future baby filter goes viral as TikToker uses it to rate compatibility of her exes TikTok: sydsoshiestyA TikToker has posted a hilarious video using the future baby filter to rate the potential babies she could have had with her exes. Using filters to generate potential babies is a trend that has remained popular throughout the years, from free online baby generators to TikTok’s recent future baby trend. And now another TikToker is taking things a step further. Syd, who goes by ‘sydsoshiesty’ on the platform, posted a hilarious video to TikTok on June 15, finding a new use for the filter. In the TikTok, Syd hilariously uses the filter to determine what her potential babies could have looked like with each of her exes. The TikToker then goes on to rate each baby, using this unusual method to determine her compatibility with each ex. Starting the rankings with a quick description of the relevant ex, Syd doesn’t hold back on her opinions of each subsequent baby. “I think this baby is a little f****** creepy,” she said, discussing one of the filter’s creations. “He looks like he’s been plotting my death since he came out of the womb.” Viewers loved the new TikTok idea, flocking to the comments to share their thoughts on Syd’s potential children. “The last one was the cutest one out of all of them [sister, sorry],” one user commented. Another said, “Marcus’ baby took me out.” Other TikTokers have previously used the filter on current partners to determine what potential babies might look like. One TikToker, Diamond Garza, posted to the account ‘diamondg_’ to show off how eerily similar the filter was to her actual child. With the filter seemingly providing relatively accurate results, we wouldn’t be surprised if more users hopped on to follow Syd’s lead. Check out all the latest TikTok news and trends on our page here.

Fuslie stuns Valkyrae & ExtraEmily with tale of how Pokemon led to devastating childhood injury – Dexerto
Fuslie stuns Valkyrae & ExtraEmily with tale of how Pokemon led to devastating childhood injury Twitch: ExtraEmily100 Thieves streamer Fuslie shocked Valkyrae and ExtraEmily with her tale of how she nearly lost her eye as a child due to her excitement for the newest episode of Pokemon. Pokemon is arguably one of the most iconic franchises out there. Almost everywhere you go people will know the familiar faces of the pocket monsters. This is especially true if you watched the animation series that aired on TV when growing up as a kid. 100 Thieves content creator Fuslie certainly remembers the old Pokemon show, as it caused quite a devastating childhood injury, that almost left them with one eye. Fuslie was hanging out with content creators Valkyrae and ExtraEmily on a stream together, where she recounted the tale. Fuslie explains how they almost lost an eye due to a Pokemon episode The streamer explained how they absolutely adored the TV show for Pokemon, and how running late to the first broadcast of a new ep cause an incident. “There was an episode and I was late to it. And it was the morning of my brother’s SAT and I wake up late and I’m like ‘Oh my god the newest Pokemon episode!’ I grab my blanket and I’m running and as I get to my mom’s room, I slip on my blanket. In their hurry, they weren’t too cautious of the blanket they were holding. In a split moment, Fuslie explained how she went head over heels, making contact with her parent’s bed. “I slip on my blanket and I fall full force into the corner of my mom’s bed. Just like boom, hits my eye, I black out and then I hear my mom screaming. She’s like ‘ahhhh!’ I’m just like blacked out, and I get up and there’s just blood dripping on my hands. I look in the mirror, and there’s a giant hole in my face and there’s just blood dripping down my face.” Fortunately for Fuslie, they managed to escape with just stitches “My doctor was like ‘You’re so lucky it didn’t hit your eye cause you would’ve lost your eye’”. While they might not have been able to catch the Pokemon episode for that day, at least they were able to catch plenty more over the years that followed as a child.

Fuslie taking step back from GTA RP as addiction is “too strong” – Dexerto
Fuslie taking step back from GTA RP as addiction is “too strong” Instagram/Twitch: Fuslie100 Thieves star Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu is taking a brief step back from GTA RP and the NoPixel server after admitting her addiction has become “too strong” and she’s got other things to sort out. It’s been over a year since GTA RP was thrust back into the spotlight on Twitch after the incredibly popular NoPixel server launched its 3.0 update. Plenty of big-name streamers have tried their hand at joining up with roleplay veterans, with many burning out after a short while on moving on to something else. However, there are plenty who have stuck around and been won over by the RP experience. That includes 100 Thieves’ Fuslie, whose April Fooze character has become pretty integral to some storylines on the server. Though, they’ll have to go on hold, at least for a little bit. Back on February 8, the Twitch star claimed that her life was “falling apart” because she’d developed a “bad addiction” to GTA RP, but she soldiered on playing it anyway. Now, less than two weeks later, the 100 Thieves star has admitted she needs to take a break, but should be back before too long. “Probs gonna take a lil’ break from RP the next few days,” she tweeted from her backup Twitter account. “Addiction too strong and got some sponsor stuff and some IRL stuff with friends. I’ll be on here and there though!! for sure no stream today and Sunday!” probs gonna take a lil’ break from RP the next few days.. addiction too strong and got some sponsor stuff and some IRL stuff with friends. i’ll be on here and there though!! forsure no stream today and sunday! — fuslie (@fooozley) February 17, 2022 Fellow 100 Thieves member Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter even claimed that Fuslie’s addiction “enables” hers and didn’t want her too leave. So, Fuslie asked her to hold it down in the meantime. AHAHAH same here T___T i need to touch grass fam, HOLD IT DOWN FOR ME WHILE I’M GONE!! — fuslie (@fooozley) February 17, 2022 Unless Fuslie follows what Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker did, claiming to take a short break but actually leaving for good, she should be back before long and getting back into crime her fellow CG members. So, expect to hear “it’s your girl April” before someone gets ran over before long.

Fuslie reveals why she “jebaited” fans before move to YouTube Gaming – Dexerto
Fuslie reveals why she “jebaited” fans before move to YouTube Gaming YouTube: FusliePopular 100 Thieves content Creator Leslie Ann ‘Fuslie’ Fu has revealed why she “jebaited” her fans in the days leading up to her move to YouTube Gaming. On September 6, Fuslie revealed that she had signed an exclusive contract with YouTube Gaming that would bring her live streams over to the platform the following day. This may not have come as a surprise to many, however, as her stream on August 31 ended rather emotionally — prompting fans to begin wondering if she was preparing for a platform move. It was quickly called a “jebait” by the popular creator and fans, as she continued streaming on Twitch until the September 6 announcement. Fuslie has officially revealed why she “jebaited” fans in the days leading up to the move to YouTube Gaming. Fuslie reveals why she “jebaited” fans about YouTube move During her first stream on YouTube Gaming, Fuslie revealed that a “leak” from November 2021 made her determined to surprise fans with the announcement. The 100T star was live on Twitch when she accidentally showed her email inbox for a split second — letting fans notice a “confidential” email from YouTube. There was an emotional element to the announcement as well, as Fuslie mentioned that she didn’t want to ruin the surprise by getting “overly emotional” during her last stream. “It was copium for me, essentially. It was like this was my last stream and I’m gonna feel the emotion of my last stream, however, I’m still going to be streaming for four more days that way if I feel really sad or start crying, I can [remind myself I was still streaming],” she said. Many of her fans in the comments made it clear that they enjoyed the “jebait,” and are glad to see Fuslie continue to make moves throughout her career.

Fuslie roasted by Myth & Sykkuno over Coachella AirBnB as bed pic goes viral – Dexerto
Fuslie roasted by Myth & Sykkuno over Coachella AirBnB as bed pic goes viral Twitch: Myth, Fuslie, Sykkuno/Wikimedia Commons: Coachella100 Thieves content creator Fuslie was hilariously roasted by Myth and Sykkuno on Twitter as they showed off the AirBnB the friend group shared while attending the Coachella Music Festival. Since it was founded in 1999, The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has brought people from all over the world to Indio, California to see a wide variety of their favorite music artists every year. Alongside the 250k+ attendees for 2022 were a handful of popular Twitch streamers including Fuslie, Myth, Sykkuno, Valkyrae, Pokimane, and more. Fuslie organized an AirBnB for part of the group, but she was hilariously roasted on Twitter after Sykkuno and Myth posted their sleeping conditions during the week-long event. Fuslie roasted by Myth and Sykkuno On April 17, Myth and Sykkuno posted pictures on Twitter showing how they were sleeping at night inside the shared AirBnB. Myth’s tweet showed him laying on the couch, covered with small pillows. He said: “When you’re having a sleepover but your homie passed out before giving you a blanket.” When u having a sleep over but ur homie passed out before giving you a blanket. pic.twitter.com/2qso31HM5J — Myth (@Myth_) April 17, 2022 Sykkuno revealed his sleeping situation as well, showing that he was sleeping on a layer of pillows inside of the coat closet. He said: “The Coachella hovel.” With “hovel” being a word to describe small places, his tweet is pretty accurate. While it’s clear the two wouldn’t purposely want to “cancel” Fuslie, she quickly replied to Sykkuno’s post. She said: “Between this and Myth’s Tweet, I am gonna get canceled. I will get us a bigger AirBnB next time. Oh god.” Between this and myth’s tweet i am gonna get cancelled 😰 I WILL GET US A BIGGER AIRBNB NEXT TIME OH GOD — leslie (@fuslie) April 17, 2022 With Coachella being one of the biggest events in the country, let alone the state, it’s pretty likely that they were unable to find a bigger AirBnB close enough to the event. This would have led the popular streamers to stick with the smaller one, making some compromises in the process as Myth and Sykkuno shared on Twitter.

Fuslie reveals she’s still getting Twitch pay despite moving to YouTube – Dexerto
Fuslie reveals she’s still getting Twitch pay despite moving to YouTube YouTube: FuslieFuslie has revealed she’s still making money from Twitch despite moving to YouTube Gaming back in September, and she doesn’t know why. On September 6, 2022, 100 Thieves star creator Fuslie revealed that she had signed an exclusive contract with YouTube gaming after nearly a decade on Twitch. She was among the last big-name creators to switch platforms in 2022, joining the likes of TimTheTatman, LilyPichu, Sykkuno, and more. On December 15, Fuslie revealed that she’s still getting a Twitch payout despite not having a way to earn money on the platform. Fuslie reveals she’s still making money from Twitch Fuslie revealed that she had received a payout from Twitch while playing with Valkyrae on stream. “I’m still getting a Twitch payout, let’s go,” Fuslie said. “I don’t know, I got an email. ‘Twitch payout processed successfully.’” Valkyrae, Kkatamina, and the others that she was playing with were confused about Fuslie receiving a payout as well. (Topic starts at 2:37:50 in the video) It’s unknown where the money paid to Fuslie is coming from exactly, as it may be a few different options. On September 28, Ninja learned that Twitch was still renewing his subs on the platform despite him not being an affiliate or partner on the platform anymore — meaning he had no way to earn money. The company quickly fixed the issue by refunding the accidental subs. While it’s possible that is what’s happening to Fuslie and her community members, we won’t know unless she mentions it herself.

Fuslie reveals “terrifying” reason she left Twitch for YouTube – Dexerto
Fuslie reveals “terrifying” reason she left Twitch for YouTube YouTube: fuslieLeslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu recently jumped ship from Twitch in favor of an exclusive streaming contract with YouTube — and she says one “terrifying” reason was a big part of her decision. Fuslie was one of the most popular streamers on Twitch before her decision to move to YouTube on September 7, 2022. Now, she’s joined the other elite broadcasters who’ve made their homes on the website, including Valkyrae, Ludwig, CouRage, and many more. While she initially teased the move with a tearful stream a week prior, she didn’t officially make her grand reveal until recently… and now, fans have a better idea of why she chose to join another platform. Fuslie says Twitch’s DMCA process prompted her to make YouTube switch According to Fuslie, Twitch’s handling of DMCA takedowns was a big part of the reason she made the switch. The streamer claimed that YouTube has a more streamlined method of keeping track of one’s content, while Twitch had a more ‘sink or swim’ situation happening on their end of things. “On Twitch it’s like, ‘Hey, two years ago there’s this clip, you were listening to Ariana Grande, and you listened to it two times in one day, so that’s two strikes on your channel,’” she joked. “‘One more and we’re gonna have to permanently take your channel down.’” “When I was talking to the Twitch higher-ups — I was talking to people high up at Twitch — and they were saying, ‘Hey, there’s nothing we can do to help you,’” she added. “That freaked me out.” “I was like, ‘Oh don’t worry, I have connections at Twitch, I’ll just tell them. Surely they can do something. When I messaged them and they literally gave me the, ‘Hey, all we can do is tell you to take down every clip you have, but we don’t have a system for you to remove those clips,’ … To hear that from them, directly… was terrifying.” For Fuslie, avoiding the fear of “literally almost losing my career” was a big factor in choosing YouTube — a huge change for her life as a streamer, but seemingly a welcome one for her peace of mind (and her financial security). Fuslie is just the latest streamer to join YouTube, following Myth’s switch from Twitch just a month prior.

Fuslie reveals how Mizkif ‘saved’ her during OTV after party – Dexerto
Fuslie reveals how Mizkif ‘saved’ her during OTV after party Twitch: Fuslie/MizkifTwitch star Mizkif came to the rescue of his fellow streamer Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu after her bedroom became the location of an OfflineTV after party. Founded in 2017, OfflineTV has quickly grown into one of the biggest streaming organizations in the industry alongside 100 Thieves and One True King. Some of the world’s most popular streamers can proudly call themselves a part of the OTV’s inner circle including Pokimane, Disguised Toast, and LilyPichu. Not to mention, the collection of others who have collaborated with the group. So, it’s no surprise that when the group get together things can get a bit wild. As was the case during one OTV after party which ended up taking place in Twitch streamer Fuslie‘s room as she was trying to sleep. Mizkif rescues Fuslie from OTV party On July 3, Fuslie was discussing her antics with her fellow OTV members. Understandably towards the end of the night, she was eager to go to bed. However, she suddenly found that her room had turned into the after-party and spotting her exhaustion, Mizkif came up with the perfect idea to ensure everyone left her room as soon as possible. She explained: “A bunch of people were in [my room]. I just accepted after some point. It was fun, it’s just I can’t go to bed now.” After Mizkif asked her if she wanted help telling people to leave, he supposedly shouted: “Alright everyone, Fuslie and I are going to bed!” Obviously, people started rushing out of the room. Fuslie burst into laughter and questioned why Mizkif would make the comment. She also reassured the leaving party guests that he was “kidding.” Mizkif’s comment may have taken Fuslie by surprise, but it certainly did the trick and allowed her to get some well-needed shut-eye.

Fuslie reveals she was mortified after Valkyrae fan “ratioed” her at Coachella – Dexerto
Fuslie reveals she was mortified after Valkyrae fan “ratioed” her at Coachella Twitter: FuslieAs the dust settles on Coachella, one of the biggest influencer events of the year, Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu reminisced on Twitch about a bizarre encounter with an avid fan of YouTube star, Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter. With the dawn of springtime comes the streaming universe’s annual music festival, Coachella, a sunbathed haunt filled to bursting with some of the entertainment industry’s most famous faces. One Twitch star that seems to have quite the time is Fuslie, 100 Thieves content creator and streaming sensation. Having been roasted by fellow stars Sykkuno and Myth for the seemingly shoddy AirBnB that she rented for the trio, her California Valley trip appears to have been quite the rollercoaster. Discussing the weekend’s antics on stream, she recalls an insane (yet highly amusing) encounter with an avid Valkyrae fan who left her in the dust after catching sight of her idol. Fuslie relays fun Coachella encounter with Valkyrae fan Part of the allure of Coachella is that you can meet your favorite pop culture icons in a more laid-back, relaxed environment than in an arranged meet and greet. As fans flock to the blistering plains of California, one instantly recognized Fuslie and worked up the courage to approach her. “This girl recognizes me, right,” she recalls. ” And she’s like ‘Fuslie! I love your streams!’ and I was like ‘hi, nice to meet you! Let’s take a picture!’” Followed by an excited “‘that’s so cool,’” Fuslie’s luck, unfortunately, took a turn for the worst. “Then she looks and she goes ‘RAAAEEEEE;’ I swear, she pushed me out of the way [to get to Valkyrae]. The contrast in excitement levels…” Joking that “I got my ego check right there,” she calls the incident “absolutely hilarious” and admits ” I got ratioed IRL, but at least it was to Rae.” PS: If you’re wearing headphones, we suggest you turn them down before watching this clip. Despite losing out to her fellow 100 Thieves queen, it’s clear that this fun encounter has left a lasting impression on Fuslie. So, next time you see her, be sure to scream her name and run at her to make her feel better; just know we’re not liable for any distress caused.

Fuslie reveals disgusting encounter with IRL stalker – Dexerto
Fuslie reveals disgusting encounter with IRL stalker YouTube: FusliePopular Twitch streamer Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu revealed a disturbing story during an October 19 broadcast, claiming that a strange man had stalked her and a friend at a shopping mall in 2015 — leaving something totally gross behind, in the process. [jwplayer mfcRpjb4] Fuslie is a well-known presence on Twitch, boasting over 415,000 followers on the site for her humorous variety broadcasts and collaborative content with other high-profile streamers. However, being internet-famous is no cakewalk, as she revealed during an October 19 stream, where she told scary stories with her fiancé and fellow Twitch star, Edison Park. During the broadcast, Fuslie claimed that in 2015, she and a friend had organized a meetup at a tofu restaurant in Irvine’s Diamond Jamboree shopping mall after wrapping up their own individual streams. https://www.instagram.com/p/CE49Jabpvhr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Before she left, though, she received a call from her friend, who claimed that a man in a large, white car had been about to leave the area before spotting her. “She said, ‘He gave me the creepiest look I’ve ever seen,’” Fuslie claimed. “‘It sent chills running down my spine. He just gave me this horrible look.’” Instead of leaving the lot, he parked directly across from her, causing some sense of urgency from Fuslie’s friend, who didn’t want to walk into the restaurant by herself. Thankfully, Fuslie came to the rescue a short time later and the two were able to share a lighthearted dinner — but the man in the car still hadn’t left. Five hours later, as the women left the restaurant, Fuslie’s friend frightenedly noticed that he was still in the parking lot. He had moved his car directly between she and her friend’s vehicles, creating a terrifying buffer in an otherwise empty lot. The two hatched a plan to hurry and pile in the car of Fuslie’s friend, tearing out of the lot in an effort to get away from the stalker. After blending in with other cars and hiding in another packed lot some distance away, it seemed that they had shaken off their stalker — but that wasn’t the end of this harrowing tale. After being dropped off at her own car as the sun rose, Fuslie noticed something odd on the side of her driver’s side door — something she described as “egg whites.” Needless to say, the stalker had apparently left something behind for the women he was following around, and it isn’t the kind of substance anyone would want to have plastered on their car from a total stranger. “This is totally crazy,” she said of the incident. “This is like the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me.” Despite her best efforts to wash off the organic matter, Fuslie could never get out the stain it left behind — nor the pure terror and trauma from that awful incident, five years later.

After having first been attracted to streaming through League of Legends, she soon became enthralled with Grand Theft Auto Role Play, tearing through the streets of Los Santos as her redheaded alter ego April Fooze. However, despite her love for her alternative GTA lifestyle, Fuslie has admitted that the amount of hateful comments she receives online from trolls is taking a toll on her. So much so, that she finds herself ‘crying’ on a regular basis. Fuslie describes the “stressful” messages from trolls In an interview with Refinery29, Fuslie gave an in-depth insight into her life as a GTA RP streamer and how much the game mode has become such a huge part of her life. After all, not only has April Fooze’s life in Los Santos become particularly absorbing for fans but she’s even found a life outside of the game with her own songs on Spotify. While there is certainly a lot for Fuslie to balance as a role player, she explained that it is the trolls in her chat who cause her the most stress. “I cry from RP like once a month because I’m just so stressed out by the viewers.” Fuslie’s comments follow the 29-year-old saying she was feeling “burnt out” from playing GTA RP and was considering taking a step back from the game. This was so out of my comfort zone but was one of the coolest opportunities I’ve ever had :’) My interview with @Refinery29 is here: 💛https://t.co/nXWYdNIqLa pic.twitter.com/piLZ4sVRGy — leslie (@fuslie) April 27, 2022 Fuslie says fans help empower her against trolls While some viewers leave her feeling stressed after her GTA RP streams, Fuslie explained that it is the kind words of her fans who help keep her going saying she’ll “take a little bit of the heat or whatever to make it a more comfortable space for everyone.” “My favorite comment is from viewers who are like, ‘Hey, I was too afraid to use voice comms in my games, but now I see you and your friends, I see all you girls talking, that I started talking in my games. To have played any type of part in that, it’s so worth. It’s so worth all of the negativity.” Streamers are used to being scrutinized by trolls on a regular basis and have openly criticized those who would make any such comments. However, Fuslie has proven that she is not going to let any hate get in the way of doing what she loves.

Fuslie horrified after being trolled with old singing video by Valkyrae and OTV – Dexerto
Fuslie horrified after being trolled with old singing video by Valkyrae and OTV Twitch: FuslieTwitch streamer Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu joked that she was going to send out a DMCA strike to the OfflineTV YouTube channel after it shared an old video supposedly of her singing. YouTube has helped spark the career of many young creators who have gone on to become platform veterans with their iconic videos. However, there are some in the present day, who probably wish embarrassing uploads from their early career stay hidden forever. Twitch streamer Fuslie was just the latest victim whose past came back to haunt her when OTV found a video from her old YouTube days after being ‘ordered to’ by Valkyrae. Fuslie haunted by old YouTube video On August 15, Fuslie was confused as to her why her chat were urging her to look at Offline TV & Friends’ YouTube upload ‘banger concert, lilypichu’. The video then cut to Valkyrae who ordered her viewers to troll and “take out” other streamers. Specifically, LilyPichu and Fuslie. Fuslie then screamed with horror as the screen cut to black and footage of a young girl singing ‘Sugar In The Morning’ appeared with many of her fans claiming it was her. Threatening the YouTube channel with a DMCA strike, she denied that she was the singer in the video claiming that it was her “friend from high school.” However, Fuslie’s fans have been treated to a performance from the 29-year-old on numerous occasions. For instance, she wowed fans with her cover of ‘Toxic’ at LilyPichu’s Comfi Beats concert. The OfflineTV family always jump at the chance to poke fun at each other. Whether that’s through a game of Among Us or during their IRL trips around the world, fans can never get enough of it.

Fuslie leaks suggest 100 Thieves star will be the next big YouTube signing – Dexerto
Fuslie leaks suggest 100 Thieves star will be the next big YouTube signing Twitch: FuslieFollowing Ludwig’s shock defection to YouTube on November 29, the entire streaming community is waiting to see who moves next, and according to her own accidental leaks, it could well be 100 Thieves star Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu. The streaming community is in a storm again after Ludwig, one of Twitch’s biggest content creators, jumped ship to join YouTube in an exclusive deal. Question marks have already sprung up around many of the platform’s biggest stars, including everyone from site top dog Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, to OTK stars Asmongold and Mizkif, platform matriarch Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys, and more. An early leak may have already revealed the next defector, however. Earlier this month, Fuslie accidentally revealed an email with the subject line “YT Confidential” that seems to confirm she has agreed to leave Twitch for YouTube Gaming sometime in the near future. Compounding the evidence was the attachment: a PDF file from United Talent Agency marked “Fuslie: BINDING,” which is likely her YouTube offer. Fuslie panicked when she revealed the emails. “Did I just leak all my… oh my god. Jeez… I gotta go,” she said, quickly tabbing away and ending the stream. She has not addressed the email leaks since then. The leak does leave several questions in the air. The first is her Twitch deal, which she penned in September 2020. If that original deal was a one-year exclusivity contract, the 100 Thieves star would have been free to negotiate two months ago. That then begs the question: why is she waiting to announce? The move, which was originally leaked all the way back in early November, may have been put on the back burners after Fuslie split from long-time fiance Edison Park, ending a lengthy five-year relationship. More likely, however, is the 100 Thieves star has simply been hashing out details and digits with Google’s titanic site, and an announcement may come soon. The possible YouTube swap would mark the second major move for Fuslie this year, after she threw her lot in with 100 Thieves as a content creator in late May. It’s already been a huge 12 months for the popular Twitch streamer, who currently ranks sixth in the platform’s top female stars. She recently crested the one-million follower mark on the site, and regularly clocks up between 10k and 20k concurrent viewers on her streams. Fuslie recently congratulated Ludwig on his surprise YouTube reveal on November 29, writing: “Let’s go, Ludwig, holy ssheeessssshhhhh! You deserve it, king.”

Fuslie tears up after joining Valkyrae in 100 Thieves: “I wouldn’t be here without her” YouTube: 100 ThievesFollowing her announcement of joining 100 Thieves, Twitch streamer Fuslie opened up to fans during a live broadcast to talk about how YouTube star Valkyrae was her main reason for joining the esports org. Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu surprised fans on May 12 when she revealed that she had signed on to be a content creator for 100 Thieves. The Twitch personality followed the announcement with a hilarious detective noire-style mystery video. Going live after the massive news, the Twitch star emotionally explained to fans why she joined the popular organization. The 28-year-old also revealed the pivotal role that Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hoffstetter played in signing her new deal. Fuslie says Valkyrae helped her decision to join 100 Thieves During her May 12 stream, Fuslie opened up to her viewers about how grateful she was to have Valkyrae as a friend. “Rae has looked out for me for so long. And it just means so much,” the Twitch star said emotionally. Leslie then explained how much the 100T co-owner has helped her career. “I definitely wouldn’t be here without her. Not even close. I’ve been friends with her for a long time. But we have gotten much closer the past year and I’m so grateful. She is so fun. She is so inspiring,” she continued. When asked what her thoughts are on the YouTube streamer now being her boss, Fuslie exclaimed, “Yeah, I’m happy she’s my boss. Heck yeah! She is a huge reason I joined. And why I even got the opportunity. So appreciative.” The Twitch personality also praised Hoffstetter and explained why she is proud of her. “I’m just so happy for her success. It’s so crazy to watch her journey. And I literally go to my parents and am like “Mom, I’m friends with this girl.” I talk about her with my parents, because she is so inspiring.” Valkyrae has continued to make waves in the industry, becoming the first female co-owner of 100 Thieves in April.

Fuslie gets care package from Dove after shocking TinaKitten & kkatamina with shower habits – Dexerto
Fuslie gets care package from Dove after shocking TinaKitten & kkatamina with shower habits YouTube: FuslieYouTube star Fuslie got a care package from Dove full of shampoo and body wash after going viral for admitting that she didn’t use body wash in a past live stream. To bathe, or not to bathe? Showering habits have become quite a debate online as multiple celebrities have come out recently saying they don’t hop in the shower on a daily basis. (We’re looking at you, Mila Kunis.) Popular streamer Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu became part of these internet hygiene hearings after shocking her friends, fellow streamers TinaKitten and kkatamina, back in April when she admitted that she didn’t wash her body in the shower. Instead, she claimed that she allowed the suds from her shampoo to “trickle down” and do the trick. However, since then, she says that she’s started buying body wash and claimed that she “really liked” the experience… but that’s not the only time she’s sent fans’ jaws to the floor with her hygiene habits. She also claimed that she used to save showering for Saturdays only, back when she was in high school. On top of that, she got into a debate with friends as to whether or not she should shower before getting on a plane to go camping with 100 Thieves. As a result of these repeated offenses, Dove apparently took matters into their own hands and sent Fuslie a ‘care package’ of sorts. Fuslie reacts to hilarious care package from Dove after showering fiasco Fuslie shared the hilarious interaction on Twitter on October 12, showing that Dove had sent her a box full of shampoo and body wash. “Hi Fuslie, we were so relieved to hear your definition of a shower no longer leaves body wash out of the equation!” the company wrote in a note. “We hope you feel fresh!” Although this might just be a clever brand deal, it certainly sent the internet into a frenzy, with commenters unable to contain their laughter. “Can I have some since you’re not using them anyway?” 100 Thieves’ Peter Park joked. “Personally, I wouldn’t take that level of disrespect,” the 100 Thieves account replied. Personally, I wouldn’t take that level of disrespect. pic.twitter.com/LjQf5MuITN — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) October 12, 2022 “This will last her a lifetime. Thanks Dove,” a fan chimed in. Brand deal or no, it certainly looks like Fuslie’s set for life when it comes to body wash now as she enjoys her new home on YouTube after moving from Twitch back in September.

Fuslie reveals how she got “closure” from PewDiePie after viral Twitch slip-up – Dexerto
Fuslie reveals how she got “closure” from PewDiePie after viral Twitch slip-up Twitch: Fuslie / YouTube: PewDiePieLeslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu opened up about the time fans spotted a “massager” in the background of her stream, explaining that confronting Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg about his coverage of the incident helped her get some “closure”. All streamers have embarrassing moments from time to time. It’s the inevitable nature of the gig. However, nothing compares to the time fans spotted a “massager” underneath Fuslie’s bed while she was streaming. She talked about it during a recent episode of The CouRage and Nadeshot Show, explaining that she switched to a smaller chair and didn’t realize that it no longer hid the contents under her bed, including the “massager.” Her viewers noticed it immediately and asked her what it was. In the heat of the moment, she panicked and told them it was a “guitar.” Then, she moved her body to cover it and continued streaming for three more hours “like an idiot,” thinking that “only five people noticed.” But that was only the beginning. Two years after the incident, when she was “fully over” it and had “finally recovered,” Fuslie received a flurry of messages from her friend saying that PewDiePie covered it on his YouTube channel. His video ended up being watched more than 18 million times, which meant everyone knew about her on-stream slip-up. Years later, their paths crossed in an Among Us lobby, and she awkwardly confronted him about the situation. “He didn’t know it was me. We both happened to be dead first… So, I was like, this is my moment,” she said. Fuslie asked him whether he remembered “that Twitch fail video” he covered “a couple of years ago,” which he did. He pulled it up, and a “really awkward” confrontation ensued. But although she felt like she was “dying,” they talked it out, which ultimately gave her “closure”. The relevant part of the video starts at 37:55. It’s a moment that Fuslie and her fans will never forget. But even though it has caused her some grief in the past, her latest comments about it are a sign that she’s well and truly moved on. The fact she’s able to see the funny side of it and have a laugh is a testament to that.

Fuslie explains why she is “exhausted” with GTA RP and needs another break – Dexerto
Fuslie explains why she is “exhausted” with GTA RP and needs another break Twitch: Fuslie100 Thieves star Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu is taking another break from GTA RP due to burnout, however, she doesn’t really want to step away. In early January 2021, the uber-popular NoPixel GTA RP server dropped their highly-anticipated 3.0 update, prompting another massive explosion in the popularity of GTA RP on Twitch. While the roleplaying mod has had its moments over the years, the hype this time around was unmatched, with many big-name creators wanting to see what it was all about. Plenty of streaming stars have come and gone over the last year, but a few have stuck around to great success as well, and while the likes of xQc want to quit for good, they just can’t seem to stay away. That’s also true for Fuslie and her April Fooze character. The 100 Thieves streamer has been a revelation in the world of NoPixel but has taken repeated breaks due to burnout and being too attached to the multiplayer mod. The streaming star, who has been delving into the world of business RP with her new Pixel Perfect camera business, stated that she was eyeing up a break, even though she didn’t want to take one. “I genuinely love RP so much but just sitting back and reflecting right and I’m exhausted/kinda burning out and want to take a week or two break,” Fuslie tweeted on April 24. “But with business RP, I feel like I can’t which makes me feel even more like I need a break :(.” I genuinely love RP so much but just sitting back and reflecting rn and I’m exhausted/kinda burning out and want to take a week or two break. but with business RP I feel like I can’t which makes me feel even more like I need a break 🙁 — fuslie (@fooozley) April 24, 2022 The streamer discussed things a little more during her stream later in the day, noting that her break is also happening as she’s become tired of drama within the RP community which arose after she made a joke about another group – Cerberus – over their business interactions. “We’re taking a break, you might have seen my tweet about being a little burnt out from GTA and I think that didn’t really hit me… Honestly, like the comments on that whole ‘the ops’ with Cerebus thing was so tiring to read,” Fuslie said. “I got like omega tilted from it.” Many fans have stated that they’d be sad to see GTA put on the back burner, but also urged Fuslie to take a break if she feels it’s the best thing to do. As noted, she has dipped in and out of RP from time to time, so even if she does take a break, it won’t be long before you hear “it’s your girl April” again.

Fuslie and Edison respond to dating rumors after surprise Twitch stream – Dexerto
Fuslie and Edison respond to dating rumors after surprise Twitch stream Twitch: Fuslie100 Thieves’ Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu and her ex-fiance, Edison park, parted ways in October 2021 after a two-year engagement — but Edison’s appearance on Fuslie’s stream in December sparked rumors of a rekindled romance. Twitch streamers Fuslie and Edison shook up the internet after getting engaged in April 2019. The saccharine moment instantly went viral, and the couple made headlines for days afterward. Edison’s proposal came at the tail-end of a record-breaking 30-day broadcast, adding a high note to end his long-running challenge. However, two years later, the couple announced via Twitter they had suddenly ended their engagement. The streamers explained that they were still on good terms, but had decided against opening up about the reason for their split, asking that fans respect their privacy on the matter. Two months later, though, Edison made a surprise appearance on Fuslie’s Twitch stream, instantly sparking rumors among viewers that the two were rekindling their romance. Fuslie and Edison debunk dating rumors after surprise Twitch stream Unfortunately for these fans, the rumors are just that — rumors. The two, seeming somewhat flustered by the chat’s insinuations, quickly cut off any speculation that they were back together. “We’re not back together, guys,” Edison clarified. “Listen, we’re just trying to show that, hey, just because you break up doesn’t mean it has to be something that’s terrible or done with malicious intent or anything,” he added. “We cool!” Fuslie laughed before joking that her fans needed “copium” to handle the news. That’s not all; Edison even teased the idea of “disappearing” for a month on a potential trip, which Fuslie encouraged, telling him he should go “backpacking.” Despite their shocking split, it looks like these two Twitch stars are still on good terms, and are trying to set a good example of how ideal breakups should be; amicable, understanding, and still leaving a salvageable relationship behind.

Fuslie claps back at claims she was “fake crying” over Sykkuno’s stream to milk subs – Dexerto
Fuslie claps back at claims she was “fake crying” over Sykkuno’s stream to milk subs Twitch: Fuslie/SykkunoLeslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu has responded to claims that she, as well as her fellow ‘Amigops,’ were “overreacting” during Sykkuno’s emotional livestream before he announced he was leaving Twitch. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house during Sykkuno’s ‘National Sykkuno Day‘ livestream on May 1. After joining the streamer for his broadcast, several of his friends, including Valkyrae, Pokimane, and Fuslie sent a series of heartfelt messages to him on Twitter. However, it sparked a wave of speculation on social media as fans questioned why the streaming friend group was so emotional. Some even claimed the streamers were simply “fake crying” to gain extra subs. It all became clear when Sykkuno later announced that he was leaving Twitch for YouTube Gaming. As a result, it gave Fuslie the chance to respond to claims the group was being overly dramatic. Fuslie fires back at claims she was “overreacting” During her livestream on May 2, Fuslie went into detail about the excitement leading up to Sykkuno’s revelation that he was moving to YouTube. She also explained why she and the rest of Sykkuno’s friends were so emotional over the move. Read More: Ludwig responds to Sykkuno moving to YouTube – “For people who are saying ‘everyone was overreacting,’ is that not sad,” the Twitch star said. “We’ve watched [Sykkuno’s] entire journey on Twitch.” She further said that the moment was just so “nostalgic” as it gave the chance for the group of friends to come together as they did in the early days of their success on the platform. Following on from Sykkuno’s stream, the group took to Twitter to send loving and supportive messages to their fellow streamer. However, some saw it as a way for them to get more subs from fans. “People thought we were, like, fake crying […] it’s ok to be sad. That is sad,” the 29-year-old claimed. “That outlook made me sad. People really thought we were putting on a fake performance just to milk subs.” The streaming community is still filled with emotions following Sykkuno’s big announcement. While it will bring a big change for the future YouTuber, it’s clear that he has a supportive group of friends to help him along the way.

FunnyMike goes viral with real-life Nuketown music video – Dexerto
FunnyMike goes viral with real-life Nuketown music video YouTube: FunnyMikeYouTuber FunnyMike has made a song called Nuketown – and filmed the music video in a real-life recreation of the iconic Call of Duty map. FunnyMike, real name MacArthur Johnson, isn’t traditionally a musical artist, doing a variety of pranks, challenges, and vlogs that you would expect from a modern YouTuber. However, he has dabbled in music in the past (including becoming ’22 Savage’), and the release of his NukeTown music video quickly went viral after it released at the end of February. Mike isn’t typically known for doing gaming content, but some games – Call of Duty in particular – has become somewhat of a staple of the next generation of rap, with many artists sampling or talking about the game on various tracks. The real-life Nuketown appears to be at a paintballing center judging by the paint splatters around the map and the guns everyone in the video are holding up – not to mention the frequent references to paintball throughout. The song and video seems to be somewhat of a play on rap music that may have a particular focus on gun and gang violence, but with a more playful and satirical twist. Lyrics such as “If I shoot you with this paintball, what you going to do?” show inspiration from the stereotypical rap music we would hear today but with a more humorous twist to it. FunnyMike has clearly found a good niche here, with a song and video that resonates with his demographic, is a catchy song, but also keeping his lighthearted style in there means it can be more easily enjoyed by his fanbase. Filming the video in a real-life Nuketown was no doubt a win for Mike, as people not only want to tune in and see how it looks, but also makes the song more immersive and likely to pick up more fanfare – as evidenced by it popping off on YouTube’s Trending charts. Just the day before the music video released, Mike tweeted that he had filmed some vlogs with Platinum recording artist Lil Yachty, which could be a hint at more music to come in the future. Me and lil yachty finna fuck y’all head up with the vlogs — FunnyMike (@1funnymike) February 26, 2020 Yachty has been a very outspoken fan of Call of Duty, even joining as an honorary member of FaZe Clan, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Mike and Yachty playing CoD or making music together in the future.

Furious mother’s freakout goes viral after child spends hundreds on Fortnite V-Bucks – Dexerto
Furious mother’s freakout goes viral after child spends hundreds on Fortnite V-Bucks Epic Games / Freepik.com, tirachardzFortnite is a hugely popular video game, especially among the youth — but its in-game transactions can pose a problem for some parents, as seen in a TikTok video that has gone viral across social media platforms. Fortnite, like many other online gaming titles, boasts an impressive array of items that can be purchased within the game itself, such as skins, emotes, and, of course, in-game currency to buy said skins and emotes. V-Bucks act as Fortnite’s version of virtual money, and are necessary to buy what’s new in the game’s daily Item Shop (aside from a few bundles that can be bought with real-life currency). As such, it comes as little surprise that kids may or may not ask their parents for a few dollars now and again to get the latest popular skins — but one tiny player ended up going the extra mile. A short video from TikTok user ‘ksmashshipper’ has gone viral online, which shows a distraught mother in total shock that her son purchased 49,300 V-Bucks with her money. The biggest V-Buck bundle that can be bought in the Fortnite store is 13,500 V-Bucks, which is currently priced at $79. Give or take, this means that the child could have bought three of these bundles along with a smaller pack, or could have bought four and spent a few. Roughly, this comes out to around $300 or more — an amount that’s nothing to sniff at, which accounts for the mother’s completely distraught reaction. “You spent $80 mad times, because how you got 49,000 V-Bucks?” she asked in a follow-up video before asking someone off-camera to take her card off the console. Thus far, the original TikTok has garnered over 5 million views and one million likes on the platform, with plenty of commenters sympathizing with her pain — and even sharing some similar stories of their own! This definitely reminds us of that time North West ended up spending quite a bit on in-app purchases using her parents’ iPad, prompting Kanye West’s infamous Twitter tirade on the situation in 2015 — adding yet just another reminder for parents to make sure their technology is locked down.

Full video of Ninja’s original appearance on Family Feud – Dexerto
Full video of Ninja’s original appearance on Family Feud YouTube: FamilyFeudAs Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins gets ready for another appearance on Family Feud, we take a look back at the Fortnite and Mixer star’s first time on the popular game show. Since Fortnite’s release in Summer 2017, Ninja has grown to be one of the most recognisable faces in the world, not just in gaming. All spawning off the back of some insane gaming ability, Ninja is now one of the world’s most sought after stars for sponsorships and accolades. Blevins will be making an appearance on ‘Celebrity Family Feud’, thanks to his new-found fame. However, thanks to the Family Feud YouTube channel, we can now experience his first appearance in all its glory. At the time, he tweeted how incredible it was to meet Steve Harvey, the acclaimed host of the game show. This feeling ironically mirrors how many fans feel meeting Ninja nowadays. The Blevins actually did quite well on their appearance on Family Feud; winning $40,000. Ninja was even selected to play in the final round of the game. The episode aired five years ago in 2014, though Ninja still had the same Twitter account. Footage of the old episode was originally difficult to find, but thanks to the guys over at Family Feud it’s now far easier. In August 2019, they uploaded the entire episode to YouTube, in 4 parts. When first meeting Steve Harvey, Ninja is visibly nervous, and the host can’t believe what Ninja does for a living. “I’m a professional video game player,” said Ninja. “I travel across the country and compete playing video games.” Harvey looks stumped, but then goes on to tell Ninja to “follow your dreams, go and make some money”. It’s fair to say Ninja took this advice and ran with it, with an estimated monthly income of $500,000. As previously mentioned, the Blevins perform well, and Ninja himself is chosen to participate in the final round, which can be viewed in parts 3 and 4; embedded below. Ninja confirmed they would be making another appearance back on Family Feud in February of this year, with wife Jessica also confirming it via her Instagram story. The Blevins family will be hoping they can recreate their success from 2014.

Funeral party of 20 dines and dashes after racking up $500 bill – Dexerto
Funeral party of 20 dines and dashes after racking up $500 bill TikTok: grizzyshoodnewsAfter racking up a bill that exceeded over $500, a funeral party of 20 people walked out on their tab. A group who was recently mourning the loss of a loved one chose to have their funeral reception at a seafood restaurant after the service. However, most of the party chose to leave without paying after racking up a bill of over $500. Not only that, but one woman threatened to shoot a restaurant staff member. Only 18 out of 20 members of the funeral party paid for their meals A group of 20 people recently walked out on their $542 tab at Crazy Cajun Seafood in Houston, Texas. The members of the funeral party were allegedly unhappy with the 20% gratuity charge added to their bill, as most restaurants add the tip when the party’s over a certain number of people. Though there were 20 people in attendance, only 18 chose to pay their part of the bill. Most everyone walked out amicably. However, one woman was caught on camera threatening to shoot restaurant staff members. There was no initial retaliation, however, the group seemed to have gotten away with dining and dashing, as a video of the incident shows zero police involvement. Those who have seen the viral moment on TikTok have commented on the dine and dash story, saying, “And people wonder why servers hate waiting on certain tables. It’s because they know.” While another noted, “Gratuity is always added for large parties. At least the places I have been.” Another viewer commented on the amount that each member of the funeral party would have had to pay, saying, “That bill divided by 20 is only $27 each — tip included. I spent that at Wendy’s today on just myself, lol.” One person even mentioned how they wouldn’t be able to morally dine and dash, saying, “My conscience and my soul would never let me walk out without paying my tab.” Check out our entertainment coverage for more viral stories.

Rae, when interviewed about the film, said, “I’m a little nervous but I did my very best and that’s all I can do.” Hitting back at criticism of her role in the film, Rae insisted all she could do is “work that much harder to get people to take you seriously.” As the trailer shows, the film follows Padget Sawyer, played by Rae, who is a popular girl at her high school with a big following on social media. After a messy breakup, she decided to accept a challenge to makeover someone at the school and make them the next prom king. The catch? Rae’s character has to make over Cameron Kweller, played by Tanner Buchanan, who is one of the least popular kids in school. Billed as a romantic comedy, it wouldn’t surprise viewers that things become a little more complicated between the pair as sparks soon fly. The trailer also reveals a surprise cameo with Kourtney Kardashian who appears halfway through the trailer. Kardashian can be seen being asked “who’s the new guy” by a character off-screen to which she replies, “a little scruffy but cute”. It’s unknown who Kardashian will be playing in the movie, but potentially just a cameo as herself. The film is a gender-swapped remake of the popular 1990s film ‘She’s All That’ and the trailer even features a cover of Sixpence None the Richer’s hit song ‘Kiss Me’ from the original film. Rachael Leigh Cook, who starred as the female lead in the original film, is back playing Rae’s character’s mother. It has been confirmed that Cook’s characters in both films aren’t related. Where to watch Addison Rae in He’s All That He’s All That starring Rae will debut on Netflix on August 27. The movie is exclusive to Netflix, so there won’t be any big-screen release.

Fruit Roll-Ups are warning TikTok users not to eat snack’s plastic wrapping – Dexerto
Fruit Roll-Ups are warning TikTok users not to eat snack’s plastic wrapping TikTok: fruitrollupsThe legal team at Fruit Roll-Ups are warning TikTok users against eating their flavorful snack’s plastic wrapping after netizens found a new way to enjoy the tasty treat. Fruit Roll-Ups are sort of taking over TikTok right now. Netizens have discovered that the popular fruit snack can be eaten in a variety of ways. From wrapping it over mango slices with Tajin and chili sauce to being paired with pickles and more, there’s no stopping TikTok’s creativity when it comes to food. In fact, a tag for the snack brand has racked up over 916.2 million views. However, one particular way of consuming a Fruit Roll-Up is raising some eyebrows online after a woman claimed the plastic wrapping on the snacks didn’t freeze. Fruit Roll-Ups warn TikTokers not to eat plastic wrapping It turns out that some folks enjoy freezing their Fruit Roll-Ups, which can turn them into a sort of chewy ice pop to pull out of the fridge on a hot summer day. A woman came under fire, though, after chowing down on her frozen Fruit Roll-Up straight away — seemingly without taking it out of the plastic wrapping. The woman in question, TikToker hollyberry09, claimed that “plastic doesn’t freeze,” sparking speculation that it was safe to eat the wrapping (or that there had been no plastic wrapping at all, in the first place). This prompted the company’s legal team to issue a warning amid the snacking craze. “Legal is making me clarify that you should not attempt to eat plastic,” the company captioned their video, which showed an employee biting down on a frozen Fruit Roll-Up that was clearly cased in plastic wrap. This is far from the first time that a company has had to warn TikTokers against taking part in a viral trend; in 2022, Nyquil had to issue a statement after users started marinating their chicken breasts in the liquid cold medicine.

FTC warns TikTokers who promoted aspartame without disclosing paid partnerships – Dexerto
FTC warns TikTokers who promoted aspartame without disclosing paid partnerships FTC/Unsplash: @solenfeyissaThe Federal Trade Commission has sent warning letters to TikTokers and other influencers who promoted aspartame without disclosing that they were paid by massive corporations to do so. Back in September, Dexerto reported that influencers across TikTok and Instagram were getting paid to promote aspartame in posts following a decision from the World Health Organization that marked the ingredient as a possible carcinogen. Those influencers were reportedly paid by the American Beverage Association and the Canadian Sugar Institute, but the FTC says these influencers failed to disclose the partnerships on their posts. On November 15, 2023, the FTC sent warning letters to over a dozen people and companies warning them of their lack of disclosure. FTC warns influencers about disclosure rules According to the FTC press release, the letters say that influencers failed to adequately disclose that they were paid to post about Aspartame. “Federal Trade Commission staff have sent warning letters to two trade associations and 12 registered dieticians and other online health influencers warning them about the lack of adequate disclosures in their Instagram and TikTok posts promoting the safety of the artificial sweetener aspartame or the consumption of sugar-containing products,” it reads. The commission says that the trade groups, American Beverage and The Canadian Sugar Institute, may have violated the FTC Act by failing to disclose that influencers were apparently hired to promote the safety of aspartame or the consumption of sugar-containing products. “It’s irresponsible for any trade group to hire influencers to tout its members’ products and fail to ensure that the influencers come clean about that relationship,” said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “That’s certainly true for health and safety claims about sugar and aspartame, especially when made by registered dieticians and others upon whom people rely for advice about what to eat and drink.” According to the FTC’s guide for endorsements, the influencers should have made a clear statement in the video that they were working alongside one of the two trade companies. No punishments have been made, but the FTC made it clear that they could face penalties of up to $50,120 per violation for future failures to disclose partnerships in their posts.

Froste’s Twitch subathon hits 800 hours after massive donations pour in – Dexerto
Froste’s Twitch subathon hits 800 hours after massive donations pour in Twitter/FrosteFormer 100 Thieves star and popular Twitch streamer Froste had his charity subathon reach incredible highs after receiving massive donations that shattered his goal. Twitch subathons have become quite popular this year, ever since Ludwig became the most subscribed streamer ever, breaking the record formerly held by Ninja. Since then, many have tried their luck, with the simple premise being that a subscription or donation would add time to the stream’s duration. In Froste’s case, a tier 1 sub or $5 donation would add on an additional two minutes. It’s all for a good cause too, with donations going to Gamers Outreach, a non-profit organization that helps provide games to kids in hospitals. Not to get too sentimental but being able to make people laugh and happy is the main reason I stream, and being able to use that platform to help children in hospitals do the same thing is one of the best feelings ever. — Froste 💯 (@Froste) July 20, 2021 Despite Froste being admittingly nervous and a bit stressed over his subathon, his fans came out in droves to support him with some even donating ridiculously large sums in the process. The streamer was stunned multiple times already during his broadcast. First, he received a whopping $3,683 donation and then a $10,000 one only five minutes after. “Oh my God, the timer’s at f**king fifty!” Froste cried out. “Is that Mr Beast?” https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1417411151533690898 If that wasn’t crazy enough, he received a $14,000 donation another five minutes later, much to the streamer’s complete utter shock. Keep in mind, this was all from the same donor, a viewer known as DerangedNative. Amazingly, the madness was far from over. DerangedNative would follow this up by donating $16,000 and then an over-the-top $50K! “My body is in complete shock,” Froste wrote, celebrating the massive donation that put his timer at over 800 hours. Basically, this means that the stream will be continuing for over 33 days at this point at least. It’s unclear if the streamer will be streaming the whole time or if he’ll end up capping it at a certain point if it becomes too much. With such a massive amount of time left, we can’t wait to see how high his donations and stream counter will go.

‘Frozen 2’ trailer sparks Walt Disney rumors following Shane Dawson’s ‘Conspiracy Series’ – Dexerto
‘Frozen 2’ trailer sparks Walt Disney rumors following Shane Dawson’s ‘Conspiracy Series’ Shane Dawson, YouTube / Disney, YouTubeThe first trailer for Disney’s ‘Frozen 2’ is inciting some serious speculation against the company, as it quickly followed the release of popular YouTuber Shane Dawson’s ‘Conspiracy’ docuseries. In the first episode of Dawson’s series, he discusses a conspiracy around the possible cryogenic storage of Walt Disney’s body – a popular, if mostly unproven, theory. He then went on to suggest that Disney had released its popular movie ‘Frozen’ in order to turn search results away from the conspiracy, which later cropped up following his video on the subject. Disney released the first trailer for ‘Frozen 2’ shortly after the second episode of Dawson’s series went live – leading some fans to grow suspicious of the studio’s timing. “‘Frozen 2’ teaser came out today, and then I remembered sHANE DAWSON’S CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT FROZEN AAAAaaaAAAhhhHHH,” one fan wrote of the conspiracy. Shane Dawson: They made Frozen to hide the fact people think Walt Disney body is being frozen somewhere. Disney: FROZEN 2 EVERYBODY— Benjamin StormEyes (@BStormeyes) February 13, 2019 All I’m saying is @shanedawson exposed Walt Disney and frozen conspiracy and a week later frozen 2 is released ??? Coincidence pic.twitter.com/Jx7NvFFbcj — Natasha_Cxx (@Natasha_Cxx) February 15, 2019 “All I’m saying is, Shane Dawson exposed Walt Disney and the ‘Frozen’ conspiracy, and a week later ‘Frozen 2’ is released?” another fan Tweeted. “Coincidence – I think not!” Read More: Twitch streamer Sodapoppin butchers pronunciation of Pokimane’s name in incredible fashion – While no official word from Disney has been released regarding the coincidental timing of their trailer, they wouldn’t be the first major company to respond to Dawson’s series, should they choose to speak out on the matter. Popular children’s restaurant Chuck E. Cheese issued a statement regarding the documentary shortly after the second episode went live, which entertained the idea that the chain reused slices of uneaten pizzas in new pies. Dawson’s ‘Conspiracy Series’ has garnered over 52 million collective views as of February 16.

Froste wins Nadeshot Twitter bet to give 100 Thieves CEO hilarious tattoo – Dexerto
Froste wins Nadeshot Twitter bet to give 100 Thieves CEO hilarious tattoo YouTube: 100 Thieves / Twitter: Froste100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag made a bet with streamer ‘Froste’ on Twitter. Get 100,000 retweets, and he’d get one of the most ridiculous tattoos ever. Froste took up the challenge, and won in just over 90 minutes, rallying the gaming community like never before. Retweet challenges for free merch, ludicrous stunts, and other big things have gone viral before. However, none have gone as viral, as fast, and for as drastic a consequence, like Froste’s hilarious tattoo bet with Nadeshot. It started rather simply. Nadeshot shared a photo of his new tattoo with the caption of “another one down, a million more to go until this arm is filled up.” Froste took that “million more” as a challenge. “How many retweets on a tweet for you to get ‘Sex is temporary, gaming is forever’ tatted on you?” he asked. https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1365092722848235523 Nadeshot set the bar at 100,000, confident that Froste wouldn’t win the bet because he “don’t have that type of pull.” Oh, how wrong Nadeshot was. As soon as Froste called the gamers to assemble, thousands of retweets started pouring in. It started off with other 100 Thieves content creators like Valkyrae. Then, all the big names got in on it. Ninja, CouRage, DrLupo, Timthetatman — even Zedd got in with their retweets. Esports orgs like Cloud9, G2 Esports, and Ninjas in Pyjamas helped out Froste with the bet too, and the CDL and Raven Software even took up the cause. everyone go rt this tweet please ty https://t.co/UkuO2F57dD — timthetatman👑 (@timthetatman) February 26, 2021 I have never seen a tweet go so viral so fast in the gaming community… Bravo, @Froste. — Jack “CouRage” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) February 26, 2021 As the retweets kept flooding in, Nadeshot got more nervous. “It’s already at 10k? You’re lying. You’re lying. It ain’t at 10k already. You’re lying,” he said on stream while the challenge was going down. “First of all, Ninjas in Pyjamas, I respect everything you’ve done in this space. Used to be a fan when I was younger, but why did you retweet that and why are you in my chat,” he added later on, singling out the Swedish org. Gamers, assemble. 😌✊@Nadeshot @Froste pic.twitter.com/eKw6JJWgKZ — Ninjas In Pyjamas (@NIP) February 26, 2021 “This is my body forever, and it was Froste — I didn’t think Froste was ever capable of bringing the gaming community together.” Once it hit the point of no return, Nadeshot resigned to the fact that the gaming community hated him. Well, not really, but kind of. “Why are you guys doing this, I thought you were my friends,” he said on Twitter, dejected. Why are you guys doing this, I thought you were my friends. — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) February 26, 2021 Then, when the moment finally ticked over, he turned on Arms of an Angel and wept on stream. Will Nadeshot follow with the bet? Yes, yes he will. “Just so I have it on the record; I haven’t decided where I’m going to get the tattoo, but yes, I’m a man of my word and I’m going to get the tattoo,” he said on stream. He even raised the stakes. With Froste getting 100,000 with ease, Nadeshot believes he can go bigger and get a million. The prize? Picking where he has to get the tattoo. “If it gets a million retweets, the internet gets to pick where I put it on my body — wait, besides my face! Besides my face,” he said. Now, the community is holding their breath for what will be one of the greatest moments of 2021. Let’s just hope 100 Thieve’ sponsors don’t pull out after the hilarious stunt.

Froste’s mega 41-day Twitch subathon ends after raising over $100,000 – Dexerto
Froste’s mega 41-day Twitch subathon ends after raising over $100,000 Twitter: Froste/TwitchFormer 100 Thieves star Froste has finally brought his mega subathon to a close after 41 days, beating the time held by some of Twitch’s biggest names. In the last few months, Subathons have become pretty huge on Twitch. The name of the game is that the stream continues for as long as people are continuing to subscribe. Ludwig ‘Ludwig’ Ahgren shined a massive spotlight on the trend when he went 31 days on stream, breaking the total subscriber record that had previously been held by Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins. Since Ludwig’s historic stream, plenty of other streamers have surpassed the 31-day mark, many going for as long as 35 days. Yet, in the case of Froste, he managed to even further than that. The former 100 Thieves member managed to go for 41 days – or 879 hours – on his subathon as he also managed to raise a whopping $100,000 for the charity Gamers Outreach. “I honestly cannot believe it’s over. Thank you everyone who tuned in, subbed, donated, or contributed in any way shape or form,” Froste tweeted on August 26. “I love you guys and i’ll see you soon. So f**king proud of my community.” Froste also tweeted that bringing the broadcast to an end was a pretty emotionally overwhelming moment. “The tears started flowing as soon as a hit the “end stream” button,” he added. subathon timer has finally hit 00:00:00 after 41 days… https://t.co/NXUGimHQBt — Froste 💯 (@Froste) August 27, 2021 the tears started flowing as soon as a hit the “”end stream”” button — Froste 💯 (@Froste) August 27, 2021 Just like every other subathon, Froste’s mega stream had a few bumps along the way – with his biggest issue coming as PayPal blocked his account for some time. Thankfully, he managed to resolve that. The Twitch star also stated that he would be going over the analytics of the stream with his viewers, just to show how big of an undertaking it all was. It’s sure to be impressive.

Froste threatens to sue PayPal after blocking mega Twitch donation – Dexerto
Froste threatens to sue PayPal after blocking mega Twitch donation Twitch: Froste / PayPalFormer 100 Thieves Twitch star Froste had raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Gamers Outreach, blowing his $50,000 goal out of the water. However, PayPal has shut it all down, blocking the streamer’s account — and he’s taking them to court to contest it. Update: 18:10 – 08/02/21 Just two weeks after his account got locked, Froste has now regained access to his PayPal. There are no updates on whether or not the streamer will still take legal action against PayPal. The streamer made the announcement of his account getting unlocked by celebrating in a tweet posted on August 2. Original story is as follows: Charity streams and big donations go hand in hand on Twitch. Every decently-sized creator who does one usually has a member in their community chip in with thousands of dollars — most are legit, but a select minority are faked. This builds up to donations worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions, going to organizations who desperately need the support. So when former 100 Thieves member Froste managed to smash his hefty $50,000 goal on his 20-day charity subathon in under 72 hours, he was whipping all the way to the bank for Gamers Outreach. https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1417428609887883299 It exploded from there, all thanks to one donator. The mega $95,000 donation from a “generous philanthropist” took Froste to near $150,000. However, Paypal didn’t see it the same way, blocking the creator’s account permanently for breaking its terms of use. Froste was devastated, and threatened legal action. “Last night I received a massive $95,000 donation from a generous philanthropist. Why is my PayPal account banned now with $64,000 still in it,” the streamer tweeted. “Please message me privately in my direct messages before the end of the weekend, or my lawyer will.” Hey @PayPal @AskPayPal! I am a Twitch streamer who is currently doing a charity livestream for @GamersOutreach, and last night I received a massive $95,000 donation from a generous philanthropist. Why is my Paypal account banned now with $64,000 still in it? pic.twitter.com/Yau2Nc5Cb6 — Froste 💯 (@Froste) July 21, 2021 After receiving a response from PayPal, which didn’t reverse the ban, he told the company to “go f**k yourselves” and said he was taking it to court. Froste’s account is now frozen for 180 days, with the current balance being held to “minimize any potential risk of loss due to disputes or chargebacks that may be filed during that period”. After 180 days, he will be able to withdraw it, but he will no longer be able to use Paypal, which is key for streamers running these big charity drives. Whether Froste actually follows through with the court action remains to be seen. For now, his subathon is kicking along nicely, with over $100,000 — excluding the $95,000 donation — raised for Gamers Outreach with two weeks to go.

Froste hit with third Twitch ban as ‘cracker’ controversy rages on – Dexerto
Froste hit with third Twitch ban as ‘cracker’ controversy rages on Twitter: FrosteErind ‘Froste’ Puka has been banned for the third time on Twitch after calling another streamer a “cracker” in their chat as the debate about whether it should be considered a racial slur rages on. The internet was up in arms on December 14 after Hasan Piker was hit with a shock ban for using the word “cracker” during his stream. It became a huge talking point, drawing comments from big names like xQc and Ethan Klein. The conversation kicked up a notch after more streamers started getting banned for using the word, including one who called out the platform. On December 26, Froste revealed that he had been banned too. “I got banned for calling Flyroh a cracker, no shot,” he said. He followed it up with a screenshot of the email Twitch sent him. Not only did it confirm that they consider the word cracker to be a hateful slur, but it also revealed that he’d be banned for seven days in total. As for the context surrounding his use of the word, Froste revealed that he typed it in another streamer’s Twitch chat. In the appeal, he said: ” I was simply referring to the food crackers (like cheese and crackers), so please unban!” It’s the third time Froste has been banned on the platform. The first two happened during his subathon in August 2021 after he was allegedly caught watching Black Panther and Rick & Morty while streaming. His previous bans only lasted two days. If the third one holds up, it’ll be his longest one yet. But he’s prepared for the worst as Froste has already shared how he’ll be keeping busy. “I’m going to use the next seven days to revamp my entire stream and plan out a stream schedule!”

Froste reacts after Good Mythical Morning roast Mob house – Dexerto
Froste reacts after Good Mythical Morning roast Mob house YouTube: Good Mythical Morning/The MobGood Mythical Morning hosts Rhett and Link uploaded a video reacting to famous influencer content houses, and they had quite a few hilarious comments for the now-defunct 100 Thieves group ‘The Mob.’ Long-time friends Rhett McLaughlin and Charles ‘Link’ Neal have been creating videos together for over 10 years on YouTube. The duo started uploading comedy skits to their original channel before moving on to create their morning talk show channel, Good Mythical Morning. On their November 4 episode of the show, the duo reacted to a few influencer houses – one of these being the former house of ‘The Mob,’ a now-defunct group of creators that operated under 100 Thieves branding. Rhett and Link instantly started roasting the home, starting off with a joke about it being unfurnished. Rhett and Link roast The Mob house After explaining that the influencers never released outside shots of their house to protect privacy, Rhett kicked off the duo’s reaction with a joke: “We’re starting this with the shot that says please, enter our unfurnished home.” Neal quickly spoke up about the room: “They’re squatters!” Quickly spanning to the only visible decorations in the room, they showed off the group’s high-quality prints of awkward family photo style images as Mclaughlin mentioned that he thinks it shows they have a sense of humor. Link had a different take on the first room, as he mentioned: “I don’t think it even occurred to them that houses are decorated. I don’t think they knew.” Moving to the second room, Rhett quickly pointed out the camping chairs: “Why have comfortable chairs in every room when you can have one uncomfortable chair you move around the house!” Disagreeing with his long-time friend, Link joked: “I feel sorry for these guys, this isn’t living.” Going on to show off the rest of the house, the duo had two different takes on the quality of The Mob house. Rhett mentioned that he believes that it’s a house full of guys who wanted to focus on having fun and making content, while Link felt that they didn’t express very much confidence in their work. The Mob responds to Rhett and Link roasting their house The video was quickly noticed by Froste, one of the former members of The Mob, who reacted to the video on Twitter: “Why did I wake up to getting my whole life cooked by Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning? LMAOOO.” Why did I wake up to getting my whole life cooked by Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning LMAOOO — Froste 💯 (@Froste) November 4, 2021 Despite the hilarious roasts from the long-time YouTubers, they gave the Mob a combined 5 point rating — meaning that they narrowly beat the Hype House to be the hosts “ugly dumpling of the day.”

Froste reveals The Mob sold $120,000 of GFUEL in 1 month – Dexerto
Froste reveals The Mob sold $120,000 of GFUEL in 1 month The Mob/TwitterFormer 100 Thieves and member of the popular content group The Mob, Froste, reveals they sold $120,000 of GFUEL in just one month. Known for their wild and bizarre memes on Twitter, The Mob which consisted of Classify, Avalanche, Mako, and Froste were once one of the biggest content groups. The group which stemmed from the Call of Duty community joined popular esports organization 100 Thieves in 2019, where their popularity exploded even further than they could imagine. However, before their immense growth as a group, Froste has revealed on Twitter that the four collectively sold over $120,000 of GFUEL while none of them had over 30,000 followers. In a tweet on his alt account on December 26, Froste posted his controversial take that there won’t be another content group like The Mob before they joined 100 Thieves. Read More: Valkyrae addresses OfflineTV rumors – To back up his point, the content creator revealed that they sold $120,000 of GFUEL in one month while they all still had a very small following. “We sold $120,000 in GFUEL products with code Mob in a month,” said Froste. “None of us had over 30k followers. Nobody else is moving like that.” We sold $120,000 in GFuel products with code mob in a month and non of us had over 30k followers. Nobody else is moving like that — Lind (@SpamFroste) December 26, 2021 Shortly after, Froste cleared up concerns that it wasn’t 100 Thieves that caused the downfall of the group. “It wasn’t even 100T that ‘ruined’ us, it was moving in together.” Froste continued: “When we lived separately we’d just hang out, play games, or just talk and stream it. When we moved in together we’d just do that IRL and have to force out content which was cringe and none of us enjoyed it.” It wasn’t even 100T that “ruined” us, it was moving in together. When we lived separately we’d just hang out, play games, or just talk and stream it. When we moved in together we’d just do that IRL and have to force out content which was cringe and non of us enjoyed it — Lind (@SpamFroste) December 26, 2021 Unfortunately, The Mob disbanded and decided not to re-sign with 100 Thieves after Joseph ‘Mako’ Kelsey left the group when deciding to take a break from the “the plague that is social media.” It’s hard to imagine where the group could be now given that they didn’t disband.

Froste calls out “deranged” Sykkuno stans after threats and hate – Dexerto
Froste calls out “deranged” Sykkuno stans after threats and hate Twitch: sykkuno/Twitter: FrosteFormer 100 Thieves and The Mob streamer Froste called out “deranged” streamer ‘stans’ in a series of emphatic tweets, including receiving disturbing DMs from a Sykkuno fan after a tweet about the popular Twitch streamer. ‘Stans’ — another word for a superfan of someone or something — have become more common, and controversial, with their proliferation on social media. Your favorite artists, celebrities, streamers, and YouTubers will likely have an army of stans waiting in the wings to obsess over and defend them whenever the opportunity arises. While most of the time this is all in good fun, with people looking to simply support their heroes, there are always some bad apples in the group — and these people can range from slightly annoying to seriously concerning, as Froste demonstrated. https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1503399278974226439 After posting a tweet calling these stans “f**king freaks” and saying that they “literally make [streamers] hate their jobs & live in a constant state of anxiety,” Froste revealed that he had been getting threats from Sykkuno stans. “Woke up to some Sykkuno fan DMing me pictures of my f**king house because I made fun of them for treating a 30-year-old man like a 12-year-old,” he tweeted. “Holy f**k you people are deranged.” Woke up to some Sykkuno fan DMing me pictures of my fucking house because I made fun of them for treating a 30 year old man like a 12 year old holy fuck you people are deranged — Froste 💯 (@Froste) March 14, 2022 The backlash stemmed from a post Froste made regarding QTCinderella and Maya Higa’s Streamer Awards. Froste made a joke about Sykkuno earning a nomination for Streamer of the Year over him, asking “how the f**k” it happened, and that tweet was promptly overrun by Sykkuno fans asking who he was. While Froste’s tweet must have antagonized Sykkuno’s stans, there’s no denying that the Among Us mogul himself would be very concerned about his fans sending stuff like that to fellow streamers. Froste is no stranger to the wrath of stans online. In 2020, some BTS stans tried getting him banned from Twitter after making a joke about the BTS Army. It’s fair to say that Froste isn’t a fan of ‘stan culture’ and wants no part to play in it.

Froste unbanned on Twitch shortly after Rick & Morty stream snafu Twitter: Froste / Warner Bros.Froste was banned on Twitch just a week after being suspended for a DMCA strike from Disney, with the latest infraction coming via a Rick and Morty stream. But now he’s back, again. Update August 18 Froste didn’t seemed fazed by his ban coming to an end on August 18, after Twitch levied yet another suspension on his channel. ✅ Twitch Partner “”Froste”” (@Froste) has been unbanned after 2 days, 51 minutes and 52 seconds! ✅https://t.co/RgojZ4kVx5#twitch #unban #partner #twitchpartner 🏕 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) August 18, 2021 The supposed DMCA issue looks to have been cleared up, ending Froste’s ban at just under three days.

Original story follows below… Less than a week after he was issued a DMCA strike and subsequently banned for watching Marvel movies while streaming on Twitch, Froste has been banned yet again for airing Rick and Morty episodes while he slept. The news was first reported by StreamerBans – an account that aggregates all of the latest updates related to Twitch partner channels. ❌ Twitch Partner “”Froste”” (@Froste) has been banned! ❌https://t.co/RgojZ4kVx5#twitch #ban #secondban #partner #twitchpartner 🚯 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) August 16, 2021 Why was Froste banned on Twitch? Before it had been confirmed, people already suspected it was probably due to the fact he aired Rick and Morty episodes on his channel. One fan told Dexerto he “allegedly streamed a few episodes of Rick and Morty while he was sleeping.” And it turns out, they were right. “Received another copyright strike and 48-hour ban from Twitch,” said Froste. He also claimed he wasn’t the one who made the decision. “Gonna just sleep on stream for the rest of the subathon instead of giving it to someone else to take over.” Received another copyright strike and 48 hour ban from twitch. Gonna just sleep on stream for the rest of the subathon instead of giving it to someone else to take over. — Froste 💯 (@Froste) August 17, 2021 Not his first ban in August As mentioned above, it’s the second ban he’s received in August so far. Froste is known for running long Twitch subathons on the platform in recent times. But these slip-ups keep on happening, and they’ve put the breaks on his streak. Read More: Top 20 most followed Twitch streamers – Fortunately for him, it’s only going to last two days. However, Twitch is known for ramping up the penalty for repeat offenses.

Nadeshot responds to Froste’s 100 Thieves “predatory” accusations Twitch: NadeshotNadeshot has responded to ‘The Mob’ member Froste who called 100 Thieves a “predatory organization” in a series of tweets about his experiences. 100 Thieves announced its signing of ‘The Mob’ in June 2019, which brought Froste, Classify, Mako, and Avalanche together in a content house based in Los Angeles. They quickly became one of the organization’s most popular friend groups. However, they would announce their split in January 2021 after Mako decided to leave the organization to go back to his family just a few weeks earlier. Now, Nadeshot has addressed Froste’s claims about what went wrong and provided his perspective on how The Mob’s time with his organization unfolded. Nadeshot responds to Froste’s accusations about 100 Thieves On August 29, Froste tweeted that he missed The Mob house and claimed that the popular content group were so “broke” that they couldn’t afford to do anything “worth filming.” A user replied to Froste mentioning that they should have proposed ideas to 100T to ask for funding, to which the former org member claimed that they did. “You have no idea how much we asked, it got to a point where it was almost pathetic,” he explained. “but go ahead man, blame the 20-year-old kids that had no idea what they were doing instead of the 100+ million-dollar predatory organization lol.” Of course, Nadeshot believes that things went very differently from how the young creator detailed on Twitter. In a stream the same day, the 100T owner insisted that the organization worked with the members of The Mob to make things work, including helping them find a house that they could afford on their allotted salaries, but that ultimately the relationship was severed due to different expectations on each side. “The fact of the matter, without trying to sound as if I’m holding it against them, they weren’t very big…in the places that you can make money, on Twitch and YouTube and sponsorships, there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for them,” he said. “We felt like we were doing a good service by bringing them into 100 Thieves.” Nade continued to break down the finances and addressed exactly how much money was paid out from the company to the group during their first year. “[They were paid] $2500-a-month for each individual, they have to pay rent, they have to find a home. We helped them find a home, they chose a $10,000-a-month house. We also had a $2500-a-month budget for content creation.” He also went on to address a perceived lack of effort from the group that caused other members of 100 Thieves to not want to re-sign the young group for their second year, but how his faith in their ability to turn it around secured them another year as part of a “tier one” company in the gaming space. While Nadeshot had quite the detailed breakdown of the situation, Froste himself insinuated that there’s far more to the story. Before long, he also went live on Twitch to issue a more elaborate response. “Do you guys think we wanted to pay $10k a month for rent?” Froste asked his viewers at the start of his August 29 Twitch stream. “There were periods there where I had negative dollars in my bank account. The amount of times I had to ask my parents for help is ridiculous.” One particular gripe Froste brought up in his initial tweets was the alleged revenue share with regard to sponsorship deals. When contract negotiations first began, 100T supposedly looked to take “95%” of sponsored income, with The Mob splitting the remaining 5%. During these talks, however, Tfue’s dealings with FaZe Clan were made public. In the midst of the backlash, The Mob negotiated further and “talked it down” to an 85% split instead. While Nadeshot claimed 100T brought “three really big deals” to the table for The Mob, Froste was quick to dispute this point. In fact, he argued “100 Thieves did not bring” one of the bigger deals to The Mob, one valued at $200,000, according to Nadeshot. Instead, “[Froste] took that deal to 100 Thieves.” Classify responds with “love” for 100 Thieves, CouRage chimes in Amidst the ongoing Twitch streams, former member of The Mob, Classify, shared some insight from his perspective. After Mako left, Classify worked to keep his spot in the organization by pushing his content grind “nonstop.” Despite growing day by day, even keeping track of specific analytics along the way, 100 Thieves ultimately pulled the plug. “I love both 100T (every single member of that team) and Froste,” he said. “Will always have the memories. I hate what’s going on right now. But waking up to a clip saying The Mob didn’t have work ethic, when we individually got graded, sucks.” “Regardless of what happened, please don’t stop taking chances on smaller content creators for your org because of this incident,” Classify added in a separate tweet directed to Nadeshot. Before long, fellow 100T co-owner CouRage had also jumped into the conversation to show support for Nade. “It hurts my heart to see Forste take shots at Nadeshot today,” he said on Twitter. “[Nade] was The Mob’s biggest fan at 100T, pushed to give them an opportunity of a lifetime, and I know it hurt him to see it not work out for them in the end.”

He claims he isn’t mad and will spend his time tweeting out more often. We will update you if there is a change in his ruling, but based off of his reaction to this, it is very unlikely.

Froggy Fresh gets Misfits Boxing offer after Creator Clash 2 removal – Dexerto
Froggy Fresh gets Misfits Boxing offer after Creator Clash 2 removal YouTuber and rapper Froggy Fresh has been offered a boxing deal with Misfits after being removed from Creator Clash 2. iDubbbz‘s second Creator Clash event is just around the corner, where we’ll see some of the internet’s biggest stars go to blows. The first time around we saw the likes of Michael Reeves JustaMinx, TheOdd1sOut, and more step into the ring — as over $1.3 million was raised for charity. All purses and proceeds went towards charities such as the American Heart Association and the Alzheimer’s Association of America. This time around, the second Creator Clash is expected to be just as action-packed as the first, with an impressive lineup of bouts scheduled. Nevertheless, just a few weeks out from the event, the organization announced that Froggy Fresh, who was set to touch gloves with Chris Ray Gun will no longer be participating due to his “recent behavior.” Froggy was allegedly removed from the event after firing back at IDubbbz’s mother-in-law, who requested for the 33-year-old to be removed from the event. However, despite backlash and outrage from the community, with several prominent content creators even speaking out, Creator Clash is still yet to go back on their decision. Misfits Boxing offers Froggy Fresh contract The situation has now caught the attention of Misfits Boxing, who are welcoming him with open arms. In a March 26 tweet, KSI’s manager and Misfit’s co-founder Mams Taylor gave Froggy an offer, while also throwing a bit of shade at Creator Clash. “Hey @iAmFroggyFresh we welcome you here at @MisfitsBoxing,” Mams wrote. “DM’s! Don’t worry, my mother-in-law won’t be bothering you!” Earlier this year, Misfits Boxing signed a five-year deal with DAZN, bringing us more influencer cards than ever before. This year, it’s expected a total of 10 events, so there’s plenty of space for Froggy to get involved.

FroggyFresh agrees to fight Chris Ray Gun on Misfits card amid Creator Clash fallout – Dexerto
FroggyFresh agrees to fight Chris Ray Gun on Misfits card amid Creator Clash fallout Instagram: tylerscassidyYouTuber FroggyFresh has agreed to take a fight against games analyst Chris Ray Gun after being booted from Creator Clash due to purported “violations.” Creator Clash 2 is mere weeks away, but the charity boxing event is being met with some contention from fans after one of its participating fighters was suddenly given the boot. The drama began after FroggyFresh, a YouTuber and rapper, engaged in some trash talk with his opponent, games analyst Chris Ray Gun. Their back-and-forth included a joke from Froggy that involved comments about Anise, an influencer and wife of co-founder and YouTuber iDubbbz, who is also helming the event. The ensuing drama also saw the involvement of Anise’s mother, and resulted in FroggyFresh being booted from the card completely. Froggy publicly spoke out against this decision, and even claimed that he is facing litigation from Creator Clash as a result of the incident. However, it looked as though Froggy was being tapped by another influencer boxing organization amidst the ordeal: Misfits Boxing, a group founded by YouTube star KSI and partnered with DAZN. Now, it looks like this partnership might actually be coming to fruition, as FroggyFresh has officially claimed that he’s willing to take on Chris Ray Gun on an upcoming Misfits Boxing event — on one major condition. FroggyFresh wants to fight Chris Ray Gun on Misfits card amid Creator Clash drama According to Froggy, he’s only willing to take this boxing match as a “one and done” deal, and still wants to donate money to charity. “I’d do it. Let’s do it up big for charity. @ChrisRGun let’s get this charity money. But this would be it for me. One and done. Fulfill my obligations and move on.” It’s unclear on which Misfits event this bout would take place, but it would certainly draw eyes — on top of raising money for a good cause. Thus far, Chris has yet to respond to this possibility, but we’ll make sure to keep you updated on this ongoing saga right here on Dexerto.

From Feta Pasta to “Fake Chicken” – TikTok’s biggest food trends – Dexerto
From Feta Pasta to “Fake Chicken” – TikTok’s biggest food trends YouTube: Mulberry Street/Sauce StacheCulinary enthusiasts have really had their moment this February, as TikTok has been full of wannabe chefs giving their own spin on dishes such as feta pasta and a vegan chicken substitute: two incredibly simple viral recipes. As most of the world continues to be some kind of lockdown, a lot of us have taken to the kitchen as a way to pass the time and maybe learn a few culinary skills in the process. Naturally, as we share every step of this process on TikTok, a few novice-friendly recipes like feta pasta and vegan chicken have taken the internet by storm, with popstar Lizzo even trying her hand at the viral pasta dish. As the foodies continue to dominate TikTok, here’s everything you need to know about the viral food sensations. What is feta pasta? If you’re active on TikTok, you are almost guaranteed to see dozens of variations of this popular dish popping up on your feed. With the tag ‘feta pasta’ having over 635 million views on the app, it is clear that everyone wants in on the trend. The specific recipe that has TikTok on tenterhooks comes from Finnish blogger Jenny Hayran. The recipe, which is called “Uunifetapasta” – the Finnish word for “oven-baked pasta” – was first posted 2019. At the time, the dish was so popular in Finland that grocery stores in the country faced a national feta cheese shortage. It’s easy to see why the recipe is so popular among TikToker users: it’s incredibly simple. Cover a block of feta cheese and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, season them with salt and pepper and bake until the feta melts and tomato bursts. Then, just add your favorite pasta and throw in some seasonings like basil. Consequently, there are hundreds of users trying the recipe for themselves, wanting to see what the buzz is about while other more experienced cooks have taken to adding their own variations to the dish. One especially divisive recipe, which was uploaded by TikTok account The Hunger Diaries, involved adding strawberries to the mix. Users reacted with horror in the comments, with one TikTok account calling it a “crime”, while another said: “Y’all are getting too brave with this pasta mess.” Other variations to the dish, which went down a lot better with TikTok users include pesto, olives, and goat’s cheese. What is “vegan chicken”? Meat substitutes such as tofu are commonplace in any vegan diet, but a lot of TikTokers have become puzzled by a new chicken substitute, which TikTok user @fakelettuce demonstrated can be made with just flour and water. In the video, he demonstrated how after mixing flour and water into a bowl, you knead it and then leave it to rest for an hour. Then, it’s just a matter of kneading it again with more water, draining it, adding herbs and spices, and then after leaving it to sit for a little bit, frying it in a pan with vegetable stock. Since the video was uploaded on 20 February, it has received 1.8 million views and nearly 36k likes. Although a lot of TikTok users expressed confusion at how he could turn flour and water into “chicken” – with one commenter calling the user “magic man” – it has nonetheless soared in popularity on the app, with the tags “vegan chicken” and “fake chicken” having 5.3 million and 2 million views respectively. The interesting thing about this recipe is that it isn’t actually that new – it comes from a Chinese tradition called “seitan”, which involves turning wheat into protein.

Froggy Fresh exposes Creator Clash letter threatening to sue him amid iDubbbz feud – Dexerto
Froggy Fresh exposes Creator Clash letter threatening to sue him amid iDubbbz feud Instagram: iamfroggyfresh / YouTube: iDubbbz TVFroggy Fresh has publicly revealed a letter he was allegedly sent from Creator Clash’s legal team that appears to threaten litigation against him amid his ongoing feud with iDubbbz. Creator Clash is one of the biggest influencer-boxing events around, but unfortunately, its second iteration in 2023 has sparked some backlash due to drama between its founder and one of its fighters. Event founder iDubbbz is in the middle of a feud with influencer Froggy Fresh, who was originally slated to fight on the Creator Clash 2 card against opponent ChrisRayGun. However, Fresh was ultimately kicked from the event, supposedly due to an argument with iDubbbz. Fresh notably made a controversial comment about iDubbbz’s wife, Anisa, which resulted in a feud with iDubbbz’s mother-in-law over Twitter. He was also affiliated with Sam Hyde, a controversial creator who made several sexist and insulting remarks about iDubbbz’s wife. On March 28, mere weeks before fight night, Froggy Fresh claimed that he’d been sent a legal letter from Creator Clash threatening to sue him, sparking backlash against iDubbbz on social media. On May 3, iDubbbz uploaded a YouTube video explaining his side of the situation, claiming that he’d spoken with Froggy Fresh at length about the ordeal and even showing text messages between them. He claimed that Fresh was removed from Creator Clash due to his affiliation with Sam Hyde, who he felt might damage the event and make participating fighters and fans uncomfortable. In his video, he also included footage of Fresh publicly insulting Creator Clash and its fighters, wondering why Fresh would want to participate in an event he seemingly didn’t like. iDubbbz’s video was met with a swath of dissent from Froggy Fresh’s fans, many of whom felt iDubbbz wanted to “control” who Froggy Fresh could be friends with and what content he could make prior to the event. Froggy Fresh reveals legal letter sent from Creator Clash On May 5, Fresh responded to iDubbbz’s video by revealing the letter he’d supposedly been sent from Creator Clash’s legal team, which he posted to Twitter. “I have to finally address this big point, which is Ian saying they weren’t threatening to sue me,” he wrote. “…Ian’s timeline of events is skewered. I didn’t start publicly badmouthing the event until after I had been kicked. They kicked me and sent me this letter telling me to basically shut up about it.” Froggy Fresh attached screenshots of the letter, highlighting certain language that appears to threaten legal action against him. Of note is a passage mentioning a $15,000 advance Fresh was supposedly given for his training. The letter claims this advance is “entitled to be refunded in full due to your breach of the Bout Agreement.” Fresh’s reply follows another response he published regarding iDubbbz’s tell-all video on May 3, where he jokingly hit back at the YouTuber in a short clip on Twitter. For now, iDubbbz has yet to respond to Fresh’s latest post. We’ll keep you updated on this ongoing situation right here at Dexerto.

Froggy Fresh facing potential lawsuit after speaking out against Creator Clash 2 – Dexerto
Froggy Fresh facing potential lawsuit after speaking out against Creator Clash 2 Twitter: Froggy FreshFroggy Fresh is facing a potential lawsuit after speaking out on his recent drop from Creator Clash 2, criticizing the organizers for poor communication and unclear violations. The second iteration of Creator Clash is starting up in just a few weeks as fans prepare to see some of their favorite content creators duke it out in the boxing ring. Creator Clash is an influencer-boxing event spearheaded by iDubbbz, with the goal of the event being to raise money for charities such as the American Heart Association and the Alzhiemer’s Association of America. Big names such as JustaMinx, Arin Hanzon, and TheOdd1sOut have participated, with this year’s lineup becoming bigger than ever. However, a wrench has been thrown into the works. On March 26, the Creator Clash Twitter account announced it pulled Froggy Fresh from the event out of the blue. He was due to fight ChrisRayGun in the coming weeks, but they are now looking for a replacement. Why was Froggy Fresh dropped form Creator Clash 2? And now on March 29, they provided additional information as to why they chose to drop him. They said in a statement, “Unfortunately, there were several violations made by Froggy Fresh during his tenure with Creator Clash this year.” They claimed to have attempted to address the problems personally with Froggy Fresh, but were unsuccessful, ultimately dropping him from the event. Froggy Fresh immediately replied to the statement, saying, “Who tried to reach out to me several times, and what are the several violations?” Froggy Fresh would go on to claim that iDubbz had asked him to stop making content with controversial figure Sam Hyde, a request he’d complied with since they asked. Additionally, he claimed a member of staff, Justin Tracey, told him to keep all communication between the organizer and him in text or email for future evidence… only to never receive another text or email after that. Froggy Fresh also claimed that he was never given any notice of violations. He said, “I got one email minutes before [Creator Clash] went public about my termination. Justin Tracey called me while I was in Providence working with Sam. I asked that he could text or email me as I was busy training with Sam. He never texted or emailed.” Froggy Fresh faces a potential lawsuit after speaking out After tweeting out his responses, he claimed he was threatened with a potential lawsuit by Creator Clash for speaking out, with the organization allegedly demanding $15k from Froggy Fresh for his training, equipment, and travel over the last five months. Muta Anas, better known as SomeOrdinaryGamers, offered to pay off Fresh Froggy’s legal fees in the event Creator Clash does sue him. Muta said in his tweet, “Threatening litigation like this kinda worries me, but I hate it when smaller creators have to face any legal crap, it ruins lives.” He continues, “I’m down to cover it all, no need for GoFundMe’s. I just want this to be resolved, I want a successful event at the end of the day.” Neither Creator Clash nor iDubbbz have responded to Froggy Fresh’s litigation claims at the time of writing, but we’ll make sure to keep you updated right here on Dexerto.

Friends fans stunned after clip of Matthew Perry admitting crush on Jennifer Aniston goes viral – Dexerto
Friends fans stunned after clip of Matthew Perry admitting crush on Jennifer Aniston goes viral Instagram: jenniferanistonFans are stunned after a video resurfaced of Matthew Perry admitting to having a crush on Friends castmate Jennifer Aniston. Matthew Perry was pronounced dead on Saturday, October 28. Though he was alone during the time of his death, Friends fans and castmates have poured their hearts out in memory of Perry. To commemorate him, old clips of Perry have been going viral. This includes one in which he admitted to having a “crush” on Jennifer Aniston. Fans have been quite shocked at the revelation, as most took to the comments to compliment Perry for being good enough for Aniston despite him thinking there was an “indifference” between them. Friends fans say they would have dated Matthew Perry if they were Jennifer Aniston In an interview, Perry gloated about having a “crush” on Jennifer Aniston saying, “The time I realized I had a crush on Jennifer Aniston was way before the show started.” He continued, “It was like two years earlier when I met her.” Leaning into the camera, Perry then asked, “And how can you not have a crush on her?” Perry then said that there was such a “severe indifference” between them that he had no other choice but to end his crush. Perry also “thanked” Aniston in his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing for allowing him to “look at her face for, like, two extra seconds than normal people would.” Perry even mentioned that he “hid” the crush from everyone and that it was probably a good thing because Aniston went on to marry Brad Pitt at the time of Perry’s budding feelings. After fans heard of Perry’s nostalgic crush on Aniston, many shared their thoughts in the comments. One said, “Matthew Perry was so hot. I would have picked him. I think Brad Pitt is hot too, but I would have picked Perry. Hot and funny — the best combo.” Another responded, “He was equally as handsome and was a crush of many, even to people born two decades later than him. I hope he could know this.” Someone also asked, “How could somebody not have a crush on you?” While another said that Perry and Aniston would have been “perfect” for each other. Perry’s funeral details have not been revealed, but his body was released to his family, allowing them to begin making arrangements. Is it also reported that Perry’s Friends castmates, including Aniston, will be in attendance.

Froggy Fresh challenges iDubbbz to MMA cage match following Creator Clash fallout – Dexerto
Froggy Fresh challenges iDubbbz to MMA cage match following Creator Clash fallout Following a week of drama surrounding the Creator Clash and its decision to remove Tyler “Froggy Fresh” Cassidy from the card, Cassidy has called out iDubbbz to an MMA match. Late on March 25, the official Creator Clash Twitter announced that Froggy Fresh would no longer be fighting Chris Ray Gun. The event organizers stated the decision was made due to Cassidy’s “recent behavior,” but they have yet to disclose the specific actions that led to his removal. In the week following the announcement, Cassidy posted several times on social media, disclosing why he thinks he was removed. However, he claims that neither iDubbbz nor Anisa has provided a reason. Cassidy has also offered to rejoin the card, with several internet personalities offering charity donations if he were to be reinstated. But after a post on March 28 provided additional info on removing Cassidy from the card, Creator Clash has yet to comment more on the situation. Meanwhile, Froggy Fresh claims he is facing potential legal action if he continues publicly talking about his removal. Now, Cassidy is seeking a fight with the Creator Clash founder, iDubbbz, wagering his legal battle. Froggy Fresh challenges iDubbbz to a fight On April 2, a clean-shaven Froggy Fresh took to Twitter with another update. While he recently stated that he was done with boxing, he took the opportunity to challenge iDubbbz to another combat sport: MMA. After relisting the reasons why he thinks he was kicked and bringing up the potential court battle, Froggy issued his challenge. “I was thinking we could just settle it the old way. Me and iDubbbz do a cage match. And MMA match with none of them helmets or knee pads or the special things.” He went on to lay out conditions, stating he could bulk up to 155 lbs if iDubbbz could cut down to 160. He claimed that even though he clocks in at 5’2″ to iDubbbz’s 6’1, he would be able to beat Ian in the ring. Of course, the challenge also came with a wage from Froggy Fresh. “If I win, iDubbbz and Creator Clash have to promise not to sue me for hanging out and training with Sam Hyde or for saying I would subscribe to Anisa’s OnlyFans, or whatever else they want to conjure up.” But if iDubbbz were to win, Froggy Fresh stated he would never subscribe to Anisa’s OnlyFans. We will have to wait and see if iDubbbz responds to Cassidy, as he has yet to issue any public statement on the situation.

Friend of Kai Cenat denies rape allegations and claims “she lied about everything” – Dexerto
Friend of Kai Cenat denies rape allegations and claims “she lied about everything” InstagramA man who was accused of raping a woman at Kai Cenat’s New Year 2023 party has responded to the allegations publicly, denying the accusation and claiming that it was a lie. The woman has also responded, refuting his version of events. In January, TikToker and Instagram model Jovi Pena alleged that she had been sexually assaulted at the party, which Kai had invited her to, by a friend of Kai’s. After making the allegation public on social media, Pena also accused Kai of refusing to help and trying to protect his friend. Kai denied this and said he had refused to speak about the situation based on advice from his legal team. The man accused, Djigui Seck, known as Jiggy, initially did not respond to the accusation. On April 24, he uploaded a video of the alleged incident on Twitter, although it was later removed for violating Twitter rules, and denied the accusations. Jiggy denies rape allegation at Kai Cenat party After sharing the video, he followed up: “I Chose To Remain Silent All This Time For Multiple Reasons. 1. It was advised by my attorney. 2. I wanted her to fully detail her “account” for that night, so she can’t make anything else up when the FACTS came out. 3. I was not going back and forth with her or millions of people. “I thought clearing my name would be a much quicker process but it clearly wasn’t. 5. I wanted to see how she was gone act after she said all that. Definitely not like no victim 6. I just simply didn’t know what was to come.” Seck followed up with a series of tweets denying the sequence of events that had been alleged, and sharing old social media posts from Jovi Pena. The posts focused on her behavior when drunk, and accused her of being a “groupie.” Jovi responded to the video posted and the denial. She denied that the encounter was consensual, and other details such as the claim she was smiling. She also slammed the decision to post a video, arguing the he knew “that the internet will respect me less because of it. Really using misogyny to your full advantage.” Seck said he would no longer be posting about the situation and would stop using Twitter. He also confirmed that Twitter instructed him that the video would have to be taken down or his account would be removed. Kai Cenat has not commented on the situation publicly since January.

Friends fans gather outside New York apartment to honor Matthew Perry – Dexerto
Friends fans gather outside New York apartment to honor Matthew Perry NBC, ajay_suresh/FlickrMatthew Perry fans flocked to Manhattan’s West Village Sunday to pay tribute to the “Friends” actor, one day after he reportedly drowned at his Los Angeles home. The death of actor Matthew Perry shocked the entire world as it was announced on Saturday, October 28. Friends and fans of the actor quickly took to social media to mourn the sitcom star. But for some, this wasn’t enough. Dozens of fans gathered outside the “Friends” apartment building in Manhattan’s West Village to pay their tributes to the actor most known for his portrayal as Chandler Bing on the show. Matthew, 54, and his famous “Friends” co-stars immortalized the apartment building at 90 Bedford Street in New York City, which the characters on the classic ’90s sitcom called home. Tearful mourners left bouquets of colorful flowers on the wet sidewalk outside the Friends apartment facade on Sunday, October 29. Despite never filming at the location, the Bedford Street building served as the exterior shot in the TV show Friends and soon became an iconic tourist hotspot. TikTok videos show Friends fans mourn Matthew Perry outside iconic apartment Videos have been posted to TikTok of the impromptu gathering, which included people going to the famous apartment building in Manhattan’s West Village to look up at the familiar building and mourn Matthew’s death. One of the many people who posted to TikTok about going to the Friends apartment was Emma Romano. She filmed herself dropping off a bouquet of flowers outside the building, and she wasn’t the only one who’d had the same idea. She went on to film dozens of people outside the building before going closer to the memorial area, which included flowers, candles, and heartfelt messages to the actor. One message on a lamp post read: “The one where we all lost a friend. “Could saying goodbye BE any more difficult,” referencing one of Chandler’s iconic phrases from the show. Another sign read: “We are so sorry no one was there for you. You are so loved and will be missed for generations. Thank you for being our friend.” Friends, which followed the lives of six friends in their 20s living in New York, was a smash hit across the globe when it aired between 1994 and 2004, and re-runs still remain hugely popular almost 30 years after its premiere. Matthew was found dead on Saturday, October 28, in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. As of Monday (30 October), the actor’s cause of death remains unclear amid “inconclusive” post-mortem results, with further investigations underway.

‘Fresh Prince’ actor Alfonso Ribeiro’s Fortnite dance emote lawsuit gets surprising update – Dexerto
‘Fresh Prince’ actor Alfonso Ribeiro’s Fortnite dance emote lawsuit gets surprising update CNN / Epic GamesAlfonso Ribeiro, known for playing Carlton in popular 90’s sitcom ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,’ took legal action against Fortnite developers Epic Games for using his famed dance in an emote – but it looks like things may not work out in his favor. According to a U. S. Copyright Office registration specialist, Ribeiro’s copyright for the ‘Carlton’ dance is being denied, as told in a statement to the actor’s attorney. The specialist went on to break down the moves step-by-step, and argued that the routine is not eligible to be placed under copyright as a dance. “The combination of these three dance steps is a simple routine that is not registrable as a choreographic work,” the specialist stated, as reported by TMZ. Ribeiro filed a lawsuit against both Epic Games and the developers of NBA 2K for using his dance as an in-game emote, claiming that his “likeness and intellectual property have been misappropriated.” However, investigators quickly found a 2012 interview with TMZ, where the actor admitted that he’d gained inspiration for the dance from Courtney Cox and Eddie Murphy – leading to mass speculation regarding he legitimacy of Rebeiro’s claim to the moves.

More: Incredible Plays from $10,000 Friday Fortnite Tournament Highlights Featuring Ninja, NICKMERCS and More – For the second running, the prize pool was doubled – indicative of the instant success which the first managed – and despite not being many people’s favorites, Typical Gamer and SoaR Thief took the top spot. Not only did they beat out Ninja and his teammate, Team Envy player King Richard, but also took down TSM Pro players Daequan and Hamlinz in the grand final. We caught up with the duo to discuss their big win, plans for the future and all things Fortnite esports. So you’ve won the second of KEEMSTAR and UMG’s Friday Fortnite tournament, did you expect to do so well going into the tournament? Typical Gamer: We went into both tournaments with a winners mentally but knew we were up against some really tough competition. Thief and I have great synergy and knew we were gonna do well but to win the whole thing was taking it to the next level and I’m proud of us. We played very consistently throughout both tournaments. Thief: Honestly, going into it, Typical Gamer and myself were confident we could rack up the kills and we both knew we had a good chance to take it all home. All we had to do was beat Ninja and King Richard and we knew the victory was possible. Who would you say was your toughest opponent in the tournament? Typical Gamer: In this tournament it was definitely Daequan and Hamlinz. We beat them in the winners bracket by only a few kills and they were absolutely slaying. When they came up again into the finals we knew it was gonna be a tough fight the whole way through. Mad respect out to both of them – they’re really great players. Thief: Daequan and Hamlinz put up a crazy fight and were definitely the biggest slayers we played against. I knew going into those matches it was going to be very tough, but we pulled through. Have you noticed any extra attention from the fortnite community since your win, and how are you handling that? Typical Gamer: There was a ton of eyes on the tournament with such huge influencers involved (and with such a popular game) so to win it all definitely got some attention. Just thanking everyone for their support was my main priority. Shoutout to KEEMSTAR and UMG for setting it all up. Thief: The amount of support I’ve gotten across all of my social medias has been amazing and very exciting. Never seen anything like it. Thanks to KEEM and UMG for hosting and making it possible. Where do you see the future of Fortnite esports as it develops, and do you intend to pursue competitive Fortnite further? Typical Gamer: The future for Fortnite eSports is a bright one especially with Epic Games announcement of an $100 million prize pool for the 2018-2019 competitive season. In terms of pursuing competitive Fortnite further; I enjoy streaming too much to put in the hours that these pros will have to in order to compete in the competitions. Wouldn’t mind winning a few more tournaments though! Thief: I see it going very smoothly considering Epic Games intends to approach esports for Fortnite already, and there’s already a Fortnite competitive community. If I got the right offer, I definitely would pursue it, but streaming Fortnite is what I love and have been enjoying. What are your personal aspirations in your careers as content creators and personalities in the community? Typical Gamer: I want to continue doing what I’m doing and spread positivity through my content. I’m having a lot of fun with Fortnite and those watching seem to really enjoy it as well. If I can make those watching a bit more happy or even laugh a bit I feel like I’ve succeeded – that’s my goal everyday. Thief: Seeing the growth over the years from watching Ninja has been a huge part of inspiration to grind and pursue straming as a job. Since Fortnite has released I’ve taken a lot of tips and enjoy watching Tfue and Hamlinz. They’re both some of my favorite players and have learned a lot with my gameplay by watching them. KEEMSTAR has already revealed that the third iteration of the Friday Fortnite Tournament will feature another increased prize pool – now a whopping $20,000, and will take place on May 25th. You can keep up to date with both Thief and Typical Gamer via their social media links below, and be sure to tune in on Friday to see if they can take the 2peat.

Fresh & Fit’s Myron Gaines challenges Andrew Schulz to fight after “talentless” remark – Dexerto
Fresh & Fit’s Myron Gaines challenges Andrew Schulz to fight after “talentless” remark YouTube: Stand Out TV, FlagrantComedian Andrew Schulz put Myron Gaines of the Fresh & Fit podcast on blast, calling him “talentless” after he took umbrage over comments made on Schulz’s show. Now, Gaines wants to settle things in the boxing ring. Myron Gaines is one half of the Fresh & Fit podcast, a show that has sparked controversy online for its hosts’ inflammatory comments on women. In their podcast, Gaines and his co-host, Walter Weekes, aim to give financial and dating advice to young men, usually while surrounded by a group of women who they quiz on hot-button social issues or trending news. The duo was brought up during a recent episode of comedian Andrew Schulz’s podcast after special guest DJ Akademiks mentioned they’d been asking if Schulz was “still hating on them.” Andrew Schulz hits back at Myron Gains in Fresh & Fit feud Akademics then explained the demonetization of their YouTube channel, prompting some laughs from the group. Akademics questioned if the hosts were “praying on” Fresh & Fit’s downfall due to their responses. Co-host and comedian Akash Singh retorted that they weren’t the ones who brought them up, pointing out that Akademiks had asked if they’d watched their podcast. “I’m a 40-year-old man who’s happy, why would I watch their podcast?” Singh said. “We’re all married, bro,” Schulz added. “I only watch it when I’m fighting with my wife. I’ll be like, ‘These guys get me. These guys understand women.’” Here’s the video for context. Plus shout out Akademiks for calling them out. pic.twitter.com/UlwYdomvfp — Dan (@dan_thedon) December 19, 2023 It seems that Gaines peeped the comedians’ jokes about his podcast and wasn’t too happy about it. He shot back at them on Twitter/X, calling both Schulz and Singh “some of the biggest snakes on YouTube.” “F*ck them and their whole team at Flagrant,” he said. Schulz was quick to hit back in a scathing post of his own, where he threw a few choice insults at the demonetized podcast host. “Myron you are a sensitive, talentless, bottom feeding grifter,” he wrote. “Your life’s work is renting women and regurgitating other people’s talking points. Your arms are not developed enough for the shirts you wear and your co-host is pimping you. Merry Xmas.” Myron Gaines challenges Andrew Schulz to boxing match Gaines shot back in another post where he challenged Schulz to a boxing match, writing, “Since my arms aren’t developed how about you stop being an internet tough guy and put on some boxing gloves? Let’s see how many jokes you can make with a swollen face.” Grifter? I’ve saved thousands of men from suicide, helped them get in shape, invest to create wealth, attract their dream girls, and live better lives. — Myron Gaines (@unplugfitX) December 20, 2023 What have you done? Be born with a silver spoon in your mouth and tell shitty jokes w/ your pussy co-host? We have the same… Thus far, Schulz has yet to respond to this challenge — but this wouldn’t be the first time the Fresh & FIt hosts have offered to put on some gloves to settle their differences in the ring. In 2021, the two asked YouTube duo Aba & Preach to “come to Miami and box it out” with them after they had a disagreement. Preach accepted their offer… but nothing ever came of it, leading to a lasting joke that Fresh & Fit aren’t willing to put their money, or in this case, their boxing gloves, where their mouth is.

Fresh IShowSpeed hospital photo surfaces as streamer recovers in Japan – Dexerto
Fresh IShowSpeed hospital photo surfaces as streamer recovers in Japan Instagram: ishowspeedlikesdudesA new photo of IShowSpeed in hospital has surfaced, showing the YouTube streamer making a recovery from his recent bout of cluster headaches – and the swelling around his eye has gone. Over the last couple of weeks, IShowSpeed had been doing more and more IRL streams – mainly of him going to football matches and interacting with fans. However, during his recent trip to Japan to watch Cristiano Ronaldo in action against PSG, things came to a halt. Speed revealed that he had been taken to hospital with massive swelling around his right eye. At first, it was unclear as to what had caused the issue, but it was revealed that he was suffering from cluster headaches. Speed has since streamed from the hospital as he reached the milestone of having 19 million subscribers on YouTube and fans have been eager for updates as to when he might be home and streaming regularly again. Fresh IShowSpeed photo gives fans update after cluster headaches As it stands, Speed is still in hospital in Japan, but a new image has surfaced of him now that the swelling around his eye has started to disappear. It was posted by a number of his fan update accounts, with them all stating that he was doing better. It’s unclear where they got it from, but a few of them have been in contact with his friend and editor. Regardless, it shows Speed in good spirits and looking much more like himself than he previously did when the swelling had ballooned to the levels it previously did. As noted, there is still no timeline as to when he might be home or even allowed to travel given that updates have been thin on the ground in the last few days aside from this photo. Though, fans are keen to see Speed get back on his feet and get back to doing what he does on his streams.

Fresh & Fit podcast host challenges xQc to debate as pair rekindle their beef – Dexerto
Fresh & Fit podcast host challenges xQc to debate as pair rekindle their beef Instagram: xqcow1 / YouTube: JubileeFresh & Fit’s Myron has challenged xQc to a debate after the streamer slammed the podcast host’s appearance in an episode of Jubilee’s Middle Ground. YouTube channel ‘Jubilee‘ sees people from different backgrounds come together to discuss a range of topics and share their opinions. One popular series on the channel is Middle Ground, which “explores whether two different groups of people, opposed in their beliefs, can come together empathetically.” A recent episode posted on May 6 titled “Is Being Fat A Choice? Fit Men vs Fat Men” brought eight men in for a debate, with four on either side of the discussion. Amongst the group and a member of the “fit men” was Myron Gaines, a co-host of the Fresh & Fit podcast, whose controversial contributions were slammed in the comment section. Reacting to the video while streaming on Twitch, ‘xQc’ was evidently not impressed with what Myron had to say and came for the Fresh & Fit team, advising Myron to “Keep that same energy.” “There is way worse stuff going out in the world than people saying ‘Oh my God, I’m sad, I’m going to eat some ice cream,” Myron said after another member of the group suggested emotional wellbeing could impact weight and making healthy decisions. “You’re fat, you made that decision, you live in the best country ever,” he continued, claiming that anyone living in a “civilized, first-world country” with access to “electricity, internet, power” would “deserve to be bullied.” “Damn dude,” xQc reacted, pausing the video to respond with his thoughts. He then brought up a situation involving Myron’s co-host Walter ‘FreshPrinceCEO’ Weekes; “Keep that same energy brother, for his close friends who f****** can’t stop themselves from hitting random chicks r**dog.” “You don’t wanna pay child support? Boo-f******-hoo. You don’t want to get bullied on the internet? Stop hitting r**dog dumba**,” the streamer said, offering the same feedback that the Fresh & Fit podcast co-host had given those on the debate. “Same energy applies here.” After a clip of xQc’s response was shared on X (formerly Twitter), Myron himself hit back by challenging the streamer to a debate “any day of the week.” Myron said he would “remind [xQc] how much of a low IQ r***** he is. As a former Overwatch pro you already know: ‘No aim no brain I’m a Winston main.’” In a Reddit post, viewers were torn over the two content creator’s beef, with one person claiming xQc’s input had little to do with the debate he was reacting to; “‘Let me discredit what you’re saying by bringing up your co-hosts private life’ is not how you disprove a point.” Another maintained that “Myron already held Fresh accountable,” meaning that xQc’s argument had “no point.” However, others pointed out Myron was changing the topic by challenging the streamer to debate, stating he “never addresses criticisms that are valid, he deflects and attacks you instead.” Another user theorized Myron’s motive for challenging xQc came from having “destroyed his public image” and turned to “the whole cringe [sic], fake, alpha male act” as a result; “Before he was begging to fight other YouTubers… now he’s settled for debates rather than physicality. His logic is he can’t get physically humiliated in a debate.” As of now, it remains to be seen how xQc will respond and whether he’ll take up on Myron’s offer. This isn’t the first time the two have had beef, previously butting heads over a remark the Fresh & Fit co-host made after Pokimane left Twitch.

Fresh & Fit podcast host slammed for allegedly bailing on pregnant girlfriend – Dexerto
Fresh & Fit podcast host slammed for allegedly bailing on pregnant girlfriend TikTok: daisyfitchen / FintyWalter Weekes of the Fresh & Fit podcast is coming under fire after his ex-girlfriend, Instagram model Daisy Chen, accused him of bailing on their unborn child. The Fresh & Fit podcast features hosts Myron Gaines and Walter Weekes giving advice to men about their finances and dating lives, aiming to “help men navigate women, finances, and fitness.” The podcast has come under fire for the hosts’ divisive opinions on women, often labeled as a “red pill” or “Alpha Male” show — and now, one of its key members is coming under fire for supposedly failing to take his own advice. In April 2024, Chinese Instagram model Daisy Chen exposed alleged text messages between herself and Walter Weekes on her Instagram page, in which she informed him that she was pregnant. In the messages, she attached a photo of two pregnancy tests, both of which were shown to be positive. “You always told me you wanted me to be your baby’s mother,” she wrote. “I loved you and did everything to be a good girlfriend. Now this is happening, you walked away.” Chen also accused Weekes of wanting to “kill our baby” — to which he allegedly replied, “I don’t want kids right now and we spoke about it and you agreed.” “Also, things happen and yes, feelings change, but bringing a kid into this world without both parents’ love is cruel,” Weekes allegedly wrote. “We both thought you wouldn’t get pregnant.” Chen went on to give a timeline of her relationship with Weekes, claiming they first met in November 2023 and made things official around New Years’. The two had a long distance relationship for two months, with Chen living in mainland China before visiting Weeke’s family in Barbados and eventually moving in with him at a place in Miami. During that time, Chen says they became “serious” and claims she told Weekes that she would keep their baby if she ever got pregnant. She also said that she and Weeke’s shared a “mutual understanding” that he was “not a monogamous person” and that the two of them “needed their own space.” Chen then claimed that Weekes “asked me to move out, he stopped coming home, and disappeared for three nights without explanation.” She decided to move out and booked a flight to New York City, and on March 30, took the pregnancy tests. After her posts went viral, Chen appeared in a live stream with prominent streamers Destiny and ‘jstlk,’ where she claimed that they “planned for this baby, and he knew it.” “We’ve always been talking about the baby. Since day one, he asked me, ‘What if you get pregnant?’ I told him directly I would keep this baby, because I am in love with you.” “The reason why I’m posting this is that I want everybody to know that he is a liar and he’s a cheater,” Chen continued. “I don’t care about the money. The thing is, I want him to behave like a man.” Weekes responded to the accusations during a live stream shortly after Daisy’s screenshots went viral, where he and Gaines invited divorce attorney James Sexton to discuss the legal ramifications of the ordeal, who claimed Daisy committed a “felony” by recording and disseminating a phone call with Weekes. In the stream, Weekes admitted that he “shouldn’t have” gotten Daisy pregnant, but ultimately claimed he would “keep [his] mouth shut” about the situation despite having information he wanted to share with his fans. The duo later addressed the incident again in another livestream, where Myron Gaines lashed out at Chen and shared several videos of the model. Gaines accused her of allegedly stealing money from a client and claiming she engaged in criminal activity by sharing a supposed Chinese police report. Most of the talking was done by Gaines, who claims that Weekes isn’t at liberty to discuss the situation due to legal reasons.

Fresh & Fit host emotional after being “kicked out” of YouTube Partner Program – Dexerto
Fresh & Fit host emotional after being “kicked out” of YouTube Partner Program Fresh and Fit/YouTubeThe podcast Fresh & Fit has announced that they’ve become demonetized by YouTube and are now pleading for help from their fans. The infamous YouTube podcast Fresh and Fit has reportedly been demonetized by the video-sharing platform, a move that left its hosts in tears. During a live stream session on August 19, Myron Gaines – who co-hosts the podcast alongside Walter Weekes – announced the “sucky news,” revealing he was “shocked” by YouTube’s decision. “Is this the end bro?” he asked Weekes. “Because we got some bad news man.” Gaines revealed that the channel had been “kicked off the YouTube partner program” — membership of which lets creators monetize their audience and access special features. Weekes said the Super Chat feature, a way for viewers to donate, was no longer available. “So basically, we’re going to figure out what’s going on because we don’t really know all the details,” Gaines said. “We’re working with YouTube to try to come to a middle ground and, you know, work together and figure this out.” In the podcast episode, they said they hadn’t been told why YouTube made its decision, but suggested it was because of the subjects they cover. Gaines said “Fresh & Fit” covers “uncomfortable conversations about uncomfortable topics” and talking about subjects that are “controversial” and not “politically correct.” “That’s unfortunately the risk you take when you make the kind of content that we do,” he said. Gaines shocked fans when he was seen choking up while describing his interactions with fans, and how giving them advice was worth all the hardship of getting the podcast started. He was describing how he left his job to focus on the podcast full-time when suddenly appeared overcome with emotion and had to step away. Fresh & Fit hosts plead for help from listeners Gaines then asked their followers to help by subscribing to “Fresh & Fit” on Rumble for $5 per month, because the podcast was “expensive” to run. “We need you guys to save us now,” he said. Gaines later asserted that it was “not about the money.” “What bothers me is if we’re not able to be on YouTube, we might not be able to reach someone who really needs us,” he said. Gaines and Weekes said they would be on Rumble, but would keep posting on YouTube as long as they could. “If I have to take a pay cut, I will gladly do that,” Gaines said. “Guys, come on over to Rumble.” The Fresh and Fit podcast is a controversial show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, that claims to “help men become better overall humans.” “We help men become better overall humans with advice and crazy-useful information on dating/games, fitness, social media & finances,” the show’s description reads. The podcast first began in 2020 and has since released more than 290 episodes, which are dropped on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at 7pm.

Fresh & Fit claim they’re victims of “targeted attack” following YouTube hate speech ban – Dexerto
Fresh & Fit claim they’re victims of “targeted attack” following YouTube hate speech ban YouTube: FreshandFitThe hosts of the Fresh & Fit podcast say they were victims of a “targeted attack” and “mass reporting” after receiving a week-long ban from YouTube over ‘hate speech.’ The Fresh & Fit podcast is back on YouTube after receiving a seven-day ban from the video platform. Fresh & Fit is comprised of influencer duo Walter Weekes and Myron Gaines, who aim to “help men navigate women, finances, and fitness.” Their podcast has become a subject of controversy in the past due to comments made by Weekes and Gaines — most notably during their viral conversation with Instagram model Brittany Renner earlier this year. The Fresh & Fit podcast received a week-long ban from YouTube in late March, leaving viewers confused as they awaited more content from the channel, which usually uploads multiple videos per day. Seven days later, the duo returned with a live stream to explain why they’d taken a sudden hiatus. Weekes and Gaines say they were banned due to ‘hate speech’ stemming from two older videos. The hosts also claimed their channel was the victim of a “targeted attack” from an unnamed YouTuber and alluded to a potential “mass reporting” from said YouTuber’s fanbase. Fresh & Fit claim unnamed YouTuber was behind ‘hate speech’ ban “We got flagged for hate speech,” Gaines explained. “By another YouTuber,” Weekes added. “We’re not gonna go too much into detail, but all I’m gonna say is two videos that are old as hell were flagged, and the way that they were flagged was indicative of a mass report that was very obviously a targeted attack,” Gaines continued. “It was ‘hate speech’ from two old-a** videos, and that right there made me go, ‘Hmm.’ When we looked into it a little bit further …we pretty much found it was a targeted attack, guys.” (Topic begins at 12:35) Despite their unexpected ban, the hosts say that their channel received around 15,000 subscribers during the seven-day suspension. This latest ban lift follows another major unban for Twitch streamer ‘ExoHydraX,’ whose channel was recently reinstated after getting banned eight months ago for a hot tub stream.

Fresh & Fit blame Pokimane’s “thought process” for high divorce rates – Dexerto
Fresh & Fit blame Pokimane’s “thought process” for high divorce rates Instagram: freshprinceceo,unplugfit/Twitch: PokimaneIn a recent YouTube stream, Fresh & Fit blamed Pokimane’s “thought process” for high divorce rates after the Twitch star reacted to one of their videos. Fresh & Fit Podcast hosts Walter Weekes and Myron Gaines have amassed over 680k subscribers on YouTube since February 2020. They’ve dubbed their show the “Worlds #1 mens podcast.” Some creators and viewers have slammed the hosts for their takes on certain topics regarding women — including Brittany Renner and Andrew Schulz. Twitch star Pokimane reacted to their takes on “modern women,” and on April 27, Fresh & Fit brought up the topic and blamed her “thought process” for high divorce rates between married couples. Fresh & Fit blame Pokimane for divorces During their stream, one of the hosts mentioned that he received dozens of DM’s on Instagram letting him know that Pokimane reacted to their video. He went on to explain that he didn’t actually know who she was because he doesn’t watch Twitch. He went on to check out her reactions, noting that he wanted to “attack” her points — not her directly. “I go look and see that she’s reacting to an old video of us talking about Instagram,” he explained. “The one thing that stuck out to me is that she has a very similar thought process to a lot of the girls that come on this show. “Unfortunately, this thought process is why the dating marketplace is where it’s at. Why so many modern-day women aren’t happy. Why so many relationships are in the toilet and why the divorce rates are high. It all stems from similar talking and thinking points that she established during the stream.” (Topic starts at 10:13 in the video) The duo went on to explain that part of the issue with her comments is that she has such a large audience that agrees with her. At the time of writing, Pokimane has over nine million followers on Twitch with an average viewer count of over 25k. As a matter of fact, she’s the ninth most-followed account on the platform. Poki has yet to respond to the podcast host’s comments, but we’ll be sure to update you if she does. For now, we’ll have to wait.

French Twitch star Terracid under fire for pretending to shoot himself on stream – Dexerto
French Twitch star Terracid under fire for pretending to shoot himself on stream Instagram: TerracidFrench Twitch streamer ‘Terracid’ shocked viewers after pretending to shoot himself with what appears to be a BB gun during a live broadcast. Terracid is a French Twitch streamer who boasts over 812,000 followers on the platform, along with 1.6 million Twitter followers. The broadcaster was in the middle of a Fall Guys tournament on September 29 when he began speaking to his chat and pulled out what appeared to be a gun, holding it under his chin as though pretending to shoot himself. Some viewers speculated that the gun was a BB or airsoft gun, as Terracid says in the clip, “J’vais tirer une bille,” which translates to, “I’m going to shoot a ball,” a word also used to denote ‘BBs.’ Terracid then put away the object and continued on with his live stream — but the incident shocked some viewers, who are demanding action from Twitch. Terracid responds after stream garners scrutiny “Wtf isn’t this against twitch TOS?” one user asked, tagging the platform in a tweet. Terracid later replied to the post, which, in a translation from Google, claims he was “dreaming where I’m being raided by the community of a rival Twitch streamer who’s trying to get me banned.” “Too bad English gentlemen, if you speak French I say explicitly at the same time, ‘I’m going to shoot myself in the chin,’” the translated response continues. je rêve où j’me fait raid par la commu d’un streamer du twitch rivals qui essaye de me faire ban AHAHAHAH dommage messieurs les anglais si vous parliez français je dis explicitement au même moment “je vais me tirer une bille dans le menton” 😎 — Terracid (@terracid) September 29, 2022 At the time of writing, Terracid’s Twitch channel has not been suspended; but the platform does have strict and clear guidelines about mentions of self-harm on stream. According to Twitch’s Community Guidelines, “Activity that may endanger your life, lead to your physical harm, or encourage others to engage in physically harmful behavior is prohibited.” The guidelines also state that Twitch does “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.” This is not the first time something of this nature has taken place on Twitch, either. In 2019, the official Battlestate Games Twitch account was suspended after a member of Escape from Tarkov’s development team imitated an act of self-harm during a live broadcast.

French YouTuber IbraTV Challenges KSI To Boxing Match Following Logan Paul Bout – Dexerto
French YouTuber IbraTV Challenges KSI To Boxing Match Following Logan Paul Bout KSI ManagementFrench YouTuber IbraTV has called out KSI for a boxing match after his draw with Logan Paul, after saying he has “started to hate KSI”. Ibra, who has over 3 million subscribers, is one of the most popular French YouTubers, is best known for his prank, ‘social experiments’ and ‘hidden camera’ videos, but is also a keen fighter. More recently, he began to organize MMA fights and he even fought against a French professional Muay Thai champion. Next, he is setting his sights on KSI, who is now two fights deep into his boxing career. Ibra claims to be angered by KSI’s disrespectful comments towards Logan Paul’s family and girlfriend, made in the UK press conference. More: Logan Paul Explains Why He Believes He Won the Boxing Match vs KSI Explaining his issue with KSI, he says he initially wanted to challenge Logan Paul, but that he had “started to hate KSI”. “I just have a message to pass, I wanted to fight against Logan Paul, but after seeing his video, I started to hate KSI, he is all talk. Winner when it comes to talking, but in real life, you’re a loser.” Later, he also offered his help to Logan Paul to beat KSI in their first fight: “If you want, I’m coming with you to beat this guy. Send me a message on Instagram and I’ll come with no problem.” After the fight ended, with the judges ruling it a majority draw and a rematch being set for early 2019, Ibra doubled down on his beef with KSI, in a video posted to Twitter. “France represented by IbraTV against England represented by KSI, imagine a little fight. But for that, you have to retweet en masse, even the big YouTubers, like Squeezie, who do not like me. If ever I have the opportunity to represent France, I will give everything for England to be at our feet. In order to show the world that we are fighters and that we are not only strong in football. I hope the fight will take place.” je serais honoré représenter la France est gagné ce combat, vous ne serez pas déçus la famille #ksivsibratv pic.twitter.com/LGn7NWnkFl — IbraTV (@IbraTV_) August 25, 2018 KSI hasn’t yet acknowledge Ibra’s offer for a bout, and with the rematch vs Logan Paul expected to take place in February, he will need to prepare for that first. However, there is no doubt that more YouTube boxing matches will take place in the future, given the track record now of two successful events, first KSI vs Joe Well, and then the Paul brothers vs KSI and his younger brother, Deji.

The 27-year-old competed for roughly five years. Half of this time was spent under the Team Vitality banners while traveling to international LAN events. The ‘French Monster’ ultimately hung up the sticks after the Black Ops 3 cycle in 2016. However, Gotaga has continued to dip his toes in the CoD scene ever since. Appearances in minor regional events and Twitch Rivals broadcasts have kept him active in the local CoD community. As to why he was banned on Twitch, many of his viewers and even fellow streamers have pointed towards a likely DMCA strike. This ban comes just days after warning that record label takedowns would continue to skyrocket.

French TikTok star’s Orbeez experiment goes horribly wrong – Dexerto
French TikTok star’s Orbeez experiment goes horribly wrong cyril/TikTokA French TikTok creator has apparently destroyed his bathroom – and his town’s sewer system – after pouring an irresponsible amount of Orbeez water-absorbing beads into his tub. For those who don’t know, Orbeez are beads that start out small, then grow to about the size of a marble after being submerged in water for a period of time. They seem mostly harmless in small quantities, but French TikTok star ‘cyril’ demonstrated how the innocent little beads can essentially be weaponized when a large amount of them are put into a tub full of water. video that precedes unfortunate events pic.twitter.com/6PXkd2unOF — sakura’s divorce lawyer (@yuqheis) March 1, 2020 Twitter user @yuqheis brought Cyril’s Orbeez saga to the attention of the English-speaking internet with a thread of his TikTok videos recording the ill-fated experiment. The Frenchman begins by dumping boxes and boxes of the water-absorbing beads into his tub full of water and filming the results. As you would expect, the orbs did their job and absorbed all of the water in the tub – but Cyril ran into trouble when he attempted to get rid of them by opening the drain. Instead of going down the drain, the water-filled balls flooded back up into his sink and toilet, causing an incredible and hilarious mess. https://twitter.com/yuqheis/status/1234216618613526530?s=20 After trying to flush and drain the marbles, cyril decided to try and vacuum them up – a plan that worked for the first few Orbeez, before his vacuum cleaner caught on fire. Scooping them into a bucket probably would have been much more effective. On top of that, they also seem to have invaded his town’s sewer system, as he began finding them in drains and around random public plumbing. his hoover caught on fire when he tried to hoover them up, then he found out the orbeez invaded the entire sewer system in his neighbourhood ? pic.twitter.com/gNOgDEK3Ka — sakura’s divorce lawyer (@yuqheis) March 1, 2020 Apparently, the police eventually begin looking for the perpetrator who introduced a dangerous amount of children’s toys into the town’s water supply -but whether cyril is ever brought to justice remains unknown, unless you happen to speak French. Mr.Beast pulled off a similar experiment in 2018 when he put 100 million Orbeez into his friends pool. The results were similar to cyril’s, but the YouTube star definitely had a better way of disposing of the orbs. Even the official Sonic the Hedgehog account got in on the action, imploring followers not to fill their bathtubs with “Puyo.” Please, never fill your bathtubs with Puyo. pic.twitter.com/iVRcs97iTv — Sonic the Hedgehog (@sonic_hedgehog) March 3, 2020 There’s also no solid evidence that this disaster actually happened, and wasn’t just something that was staged for some TikTok clout. Fake or not though, it probably isn’t a good idea to fill your tub with Orbeez unless you have a solid water-bead disposal plan in place.

French content creator TheKairi78 banned on Twitch following rape allegations – Dexerto
French content creator TheKairi78 banned on Twitch following rape allegations Twitch / Instagram: tk_officiel78Popular French content creator Jaouad ‘TheKairi78’ Daouki has been banned from Twitch after serious allegations were made against him, with a young woman accusing the streamer of rape. TheKairi78 is a French content creator with over 3.8 million subscribers on YouTube. He is best known for streaming a variety of video games and rose to popularity, in large part, for videos depicting his anger. However, on July 4 it was reported by LeParisien that Daouki had been accused of drugging and raping a young woman. Daouki has since maintained his innocence but was subsequently banned by Twitch as the investigation continues to develop. The Paris prosecutor’s office opened the investigation after a young woman claimed Daouki accompanied her home before drugging and raping her. While Daouki admitted to “having had sexual intercourse”, he stated that he considered the interaction to be consensual. However, he did acknowledge that the young woman was intoxicated and had repeatedly vomited due to alcohol consumption. Daouki went on to Twitter, asking fans for their support. He “strongly rejected” the allegations made against him and said he would put his trust in the justice system to prove his case. “I ask you to wait for the results of the investigation before jumping to conclusions. Your support is invaluable and I thank you for your understanding.” Twitch banned the content creator the same day as the allegations against Daouki came out. As the investigation continues, he’s unable to broadcast live on Twitch. Though various other outlets remain available, including Daouki’s mega-popular YouTube channel. We’ll be sure to update you as the story progresses. For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

French daredevil Remi Lucidi dies after falling off skyscraper – Dexerto
French daredevil Remi Lucidi dies after falling off skyscraper Instagram: remnigmaAdrenaline junkie and daredevil Remi Lucidi unexpectedly fell to his death after reaching at least 721ft on a skyscraper. French daredevil Remo Lucidi plummeted to his death in a recent 721ft walk to the 68th floor of a tall skyscraper. The accident happened in Hong Kong where Lucidi was based. Just days before his death, Lucidi had also ventured to the top of a tower in the city’s version of Times Square. Lucidi has previously scaled towers and rooftops all over the world including Bulgaria, France, Austria, and Dubai, where he reached a staggering 1,394ft high. Remi Lucidi was last seen by a maid climbing outside the 68th floor of Tregunter Towers Lucidi may have had years of experience towering some of the highest feats known to man, but his decision to not lock in with the proper proved fatal in his last walk on a Hong Kong skyscraper. The daredevil was reportedly last seen on July 27 at 7:30PM by a maid on the 68th floor of the Tregunter Tower, as he knocked for assistance for his misplaced footing. The 30-year-old fell to a mid-level patio, where police then identified him. A source told Sky News after finding Lucidi’s body, “A preliminary investigation suggested the man was an extreme sports enthusiast.” The source continued, “It is possible that he got trapped outside the penthouse while practicing an extreme sport in the building, and he knocked on the window for help, but accidentally fell to his death.” Lucidi was last seen walking on land when he entered the Tower and told on-site security that he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. His tragic accident has touched explorers alike, as many people have taken to Lucidi’s Instagram to say their goodbyes, with one individual saying, “Bro went out doing what he loved! He lived his life fully. Not many can say that.”

#FreeQuackity trends on Twitter after Roblox bans popular streamer – Dexerto
#FreeQuackity trends on Twitter after Roblox bans popular streamer YouTube: Quackity / Roblox CorporationPopular YouTuber, Twitch streamer and all-around entertainer ‘Quackity’ has been banned from Roblox for an unknown reason, prompting his massive fanbase to get the topic trending on Twitter. Quackity, real name Alex, is a Twitch star and YouTuber with over 5 million subscribers/follwers combined, who’s best known for hosting talent competitions on his Discord channel with other top personalities. While the influencer is normally free of drama and scandals, it seems he has become the center of a trending topic on Twitter — and it’s all thanks to Roblox, surprisingly. On December 30, the personality found out that he’d been banned on Roblox during a live stream, with his account being removed from the service as a result. The ban notification claims that Quackity was deleted for “creating, promoting, or participating in inappropriate behavior or content” which violated the game’s Terms of Use. The specific reason for Quackity’s ban is still unknown at the time of writing — but the entire internet is now aware of this development, thanks to his fans, who have taken to Twitter to get the topic trending. #FreeQuackity has become a popular catchphrase in mere moments, with fans petitioning Roblox to unban the streamer from the game as soon as possible. https://twitter.com/estrella2752/status/1344432731397054464?s=20 https://twitter.com/animememefan5/status/1344433159471996928?s=20 The people who don’t watch Quackity must be so confused rn #FREEQUACKITY pic.twitter.com/gJMzVQDfFy — Void™ FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 (@aVOlDable) December 31, 2020 This isn’t the first time a massive content creator has been hit with a ban from Roblox unexpectedly; YouTube king PewDiePie received a surprising ban from the game in 2019 for his username, which the game considered to be part of a “negative” meme in its community. Luckily for PewDiePie, Roblox apologized for the slip-up and reinstated his account, but reiterated that there is still a “zero-tolerance policy” in place for “inappropriate behavior.” Currently, the exact reason for Quackity’s 2020 ban is still up in the air — but considering the voraciousness of his fanbase, it won’t be unsurprising if the purported “inappropriate content” is revealed sooner rather than later.

FreeTopG trends on social media after Andrew Tate arrested again – Dexerto
FreeTopG trends on social media after Andrew Tate arrested again YouTube/James English#FreeTopG started trending on social media after Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested again by Romanian police on March 12, after a warrant was issued in the UK. On March 11, the Tate brothers were once again detained by Romanian authorities after Westminster Magistrates Court in London issued an arrest warrant. The brothers were arrested on charges of sexual aggression that date back to between 2012 and 2015. A lawyer representing four women who accused Tate of rape and sexual assault urged British police to immediately act upon receiving information that he was planning to flee Romania, a statement said. ‘FreeTopG’ trends as Andrew Tate detained again The social media influencers have started trending on social media as fans call for the two brothers to be released from detention. Fans of the dual US-UK nationals have claimed the “matrix” has attacked again following their arrest. Tate’s representatives stated they “categorically reject all charges.” “The Matrix is at it again. Free the Tate brothers,” a Twitter/X user wrote. “The matrix has attacked them #freetopG,” wrote another. Similar messages echoed across the platform. “FREE THE TATE BROTHERS!!! This is not justice THIS IS MATRIX ATTACK after the live stream from yesterday,” said one. Others preached that the Tate brothers are innocent of their alleged crimes. “THE TATE BROTHERS ARE INNOCENT,” they wrote. “The Matrix is f**king DESPERATE. Because their case is failing,” another hit out. The Tate brothers were arrested in December of 2022 on suspicion of human trafficking and rape, and forming a criminal gang. After several months in jail, they were released and placed under house arrest in March 2023. The two brothers remained in their Romanian home until August when they were finally released from house arrest. However, they are not permitted to leave the country. The Bucharest Court of Appeal will now decide whether to “execute the mandate” ordered by the UK.

Freaky video of Chucky attacking people on NYC Subway goes viral – Dexerto
Freaky video of Chucky attacking people on NYC Subway goes viral Instagram, @subwaycreaturesA bizarre, possibly frightening video of the creepy doll character, Chucky, has gone viral as the villain attacks a commuter in New York City’s subway system – and no one stops to help. First appearing in 1988’s , Chucky has become an iconic character in pop culture as an uncomfortable doll with uncomfortable appetites. Over 30 years later, Chucky seems to have made his return and is terrorizing — or at least trying to terrorize — New York City. According to his cinematic origins, Chucky is a doll that became possessed by a serial killer through a voodoo ritual. This creepy character then uses various tools and spooky maneuvers to kill people and whatnot. As the latest, viral version goes — Chucky is back and emboldened, and is now willing to attack people in broad daylight in the middle of a crowded subway. Possibly respecting social distancing guidelines, and possibly more confused than afraid, no one really seems to react too emphatically to what has now been revealed as a “social experiment.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1355586013037359105 In the video, you can see Chucky grab at a lady’s leg and bag as she loudly complains and asks him “what the f**k is wrong with you?” While she grapples with this halloween costume squealing and grabbing her ankles, bystanders simply move away or take out their phones to record the scene. As it turns out, the video’s makers have confirmed to the NY Post that this was a staged “social experiment” involving an actor playing Chucky and another playing the intentionally maskless damsel in distress. The makers were hoping that bystanders would “at least help her out,” but also wanted to see if the ‘victim’s’ masklessness “would affect people helping her out in this situation.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CKgy4PTBMRZ/ As has become painfully (or, more appropriately, painlessly) obvious, the experiment proves that no, people will not help out someone who is wrestling with an adult in a halloween costume at the end of January. That conclusion should be expected from a city that has become all too familiar with costumed shenanigans for content. In recent years, Eric Andre has performed ridiculous stunts on the subway for and, in the past year, “Buddy the Rat” has grown in infamy as someone dresses in a full rat costume and goes about their business on the subway. While New Yorkers don’t appear threatened by a 1988 slasher film villain, one has to wonder if they were simply following guidelines and would have behaved differently if the acting victim was wearing their mask.

#FreeGeorge trends on Twitter after TikTok bans GeorgeNotFound – Dexerto
#FreeGeorge trends on Twitter after TikTok bans GeorgeNotFound YouTube: GeorgeNotFoundYouTube star and Minecraft personality ‘GeorgeNotFound’ has gone viral on Twitter after revealing he’d been banned on TikTok for no discernible reason. He was unbanned mere hours later, with many crediting Addison Rae for “freeing” his account. 24-year-old influencer George Davidson is one of YouTube’s most popular gaming content creators. Boasting over 6 million followers on the platform, he’s become a household name among Minecraft players for his hilarious videos and collaborations with other stars on the ‘Dream SMP’ server — but now, he’s going viral for an entirely different reason. On February 26, George announced that he’d been banned from TikTok, although he gave no reason as to why. A quick look at what was once his TikTok profile shows that his account has been banned from the video app due to “multiple Community Guidelines violations,” although there’s no telling exactly what those violations are, at present. As a result, the hashtag #FreeGeorge began trending on Twitter shortly thereafter, with fans of the YouTuber begging TikTok to restore his profile. George’s fellow creators have also chimed in on the surprising suspension, with names like Quackity and BadBoyHalo giving humorous responses to a ban that has everyone scratching their heads in confusion. Luckily, George’s account was reinstated mere hours later, and many fans are attributing this development to TikTok star Addison Rae. The influencer Tweeted out the word “renegade” around the same time that George’s account was unbanned, and her post has since received thousands of interactions, with the likes of Dream and Quackity writing “Thank you,” and “No way.” This isn’t the first time someone from the Dream SMP has been banned on TikTok without warning or reason; massively popular Minecraft YouTuber TommyInnit also received a ban from TikTok just two days prior, and is still awaiting an explanation for his suspension at the time of writing. In a similar fashion, his name also trended on Twitter over the drama, and it looks like yet another SMP member has joined the bandwagon. A slew of other creators unrelated to Minecraft have also been hit with surprise bans from TikTok, and are begging the platform to provide better explanations as to why they’ve been punished. https://twitter.com/pigggly/status/1365358294584467459?s=20 While similar instances have occurred on other popular platforms like Twitch and YouTube, it appears that the Dream SMP fanbase is using its voice to help shed light on the issue, which many hope will lead to reformed ban policies on the application sometime soon.

Frazier Kay reveals how much Save the Kids NFT scandal cost him – Dexerto
Frazier Kay reveals how much Save the Kids NFT scandal cost him YouTube: Frazier KayFormer FaZe Clan member Frazier Kay was removed from the org and slammed by fans following his involvement in ‘Save the Kids’, a crypto project that was later accused of being a rug pull. Kay claims the fallout from the scam has cost him up to $500,000. In July 2021, Kay was released from FaZe, while his brother Jarvis was suspended, along with Teeqo and Nikan for their involvement in Save the Kids. The org said they “had absolutely no involvement with our member’s activity in the cryptocurrency space.” Kay responded approximately a month later, and although admitting his involvement was irresponsible, he largely blamed Sam Pepper, a content creator who had been working as FaZe’s head of content at the time. Kay said he trusted Sam on the Save the Kids “disaster.” At the time, Kay also committed to paying back everyone who lost money on the project, also revealing that he had personally lost $37,000, and that no FaZe member had profited from it. In the latest Dexerto Originals, Kay has now opened up on exactly how much those refunds cost him. According to Kay, the total amount sent in refunds amounts to $400,000–500,000. “I think what differentiates me from what people call a ‘scammer’, is I paid everybody back. In USD, it was probably close to four, five hundred thousand.” Topic starts at 15:30 Dexerto was able to corroborate at least $250,000 left Kay’s account, although could not verify the recipients. Of course, in addition to the financial losses, Kay’s biggest loss was perhaps his position in FaZe Clan. Although it seems unlikely he will ever be able to return, Kay said he would like to return someday. Regardless, he plans to continue creating content on his various channels, alongside his brother and longtime collaborator Jarvis – who is now also pursuing a boxing career.

Fran’s ex condemns “disgusting attacks” on her amid xQc dating rumors – Dexerto
Fran’s ex condemns “disgusting attacks” on her amid xQc dating rumors Instagram/FranFormer Overwatch streamer turned NFT-seller Fran is rumored to be dating Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and her ex-boyfriend has stepped in to defend her from abuse. Fran was once one of the top Overwatch streamers, frequently dominating lobbies with her stellar support skills, especially on Zenyatta. After ditching Twitch to sell NFTs – something she even referred to as a “scam,” she ended up dating some big names in the Overwatch esports scene. Of note, she mingled with LA Gladiators star Dante ‘Danteh’ Cruz and Atlanta Reign tank-turned-coach Blake ‘Gator’ Scott before now seemingly dating former Dallas Fuel player xQc. Gator defends Fran as former streamer dates xQc Amid xQc’s nasty break-up with Adept, the Twitch icon let it slip that he had a new girlfriend and it wasn’t long before fans seemingly discovered who she was. Prior to deleting her Instagram for privacy reasons, Fran posted a photo of her kissing xQc and many took that as confirmation that the juicer had a new squeeze. However, due to Fran’s past relationships and the fact she abandoned the Overwatch community, many had turned on her, leading former boyfriend Gator to step in to condemn the attacks. “Fran was a great girlfriend and partner. The attacks on her are disgusting and she does not deserve the hate. Our breakup was mutual and she is wildly misunderstood,” he explained. “I really hope the communities and people can give her the benefit of the doubt. Please.” Whether or not this does enough to stop the attacks on her remain to be seen, but it’s good to see that Gator and Fran are proof that not all relationships have to end ugly.

Frankie Jonas tattoos Tana Mongeau’s name on leg in viral TikTok – Dexerto
Frankie Jonas tattoos Tana Mongeau’s name on leg in viral TikTok Instagram: franklinjonas / Instagram: Tana MongeauThe fourth Jonas brother, Frankie, has got Tana Mongeau’s name tattooed on his leg in a bizarre turn of events on TikTok. In recent weeks, Frankie Jonas, otherwise known as “Bonus Jonas” has blown up on TikTok after only starting his account in October and now has more than 1.6 million followers and a total of 27.3 million likes on his account. One viral video of his using the green screen effect showed him admiring his fans for going into Nick Jonas’s TikTok and typing comments such as “Omg you’re Frankie Jonas’ brother!” Of course, he was ecstatic to finally be in the spotlight after years of blending into the background as a Jonas brother, but not a band member. Even Nick Jonas himself hilariously duetted it, filming himself on the phone saying “Yeah, Kevin, Joe, forget what I said about letting Frankie in the band.” Now Frankie has the attention of Internet star Tana Mongeau. In one video Tana showed off their messages to each other with Tana requesting to be an honorary Jonas sister and Frankie agreeing. Then on December 27, in a TikTok where Frankie spoke about his Tattoos, Tana commented “Please get my name now that I am a Jonas.” To her surprise, Frankie actually did it. Frankie posted only one day later saying, “I wanted to do something that will help me stay grounded and remind me of the fans. So tanamongeaulol… this one is for you, I hope it grows your account.” He then tattooed “@Tana” on the top of his left thigh. Tana was stunned, reacting in tears of laughter with her hand over her mouth. Frankie responded “I really just wanted to give back and say thank you to my loyal fans,” to which Tana said, “You’re so nice to the fans/smaller creators. Me, Kevin, Nick, and Joe are so grateful for all the charity you’ve shown us as your Jonas siblings.” This unexpected and strange collaboration with Tana will only cement Frankie Jonas’ status as a TikTok star, over and above his status as simply a “Bonus Jonas” as his popularity online continues to soar.

Francis Ngannou claims UFC is suing his team over Jake Paul fight negotiations – Dexerto
Francis Ngannou claims UFC is suing his team over Jake Paul fight negotiations Instagram: Francis Ngannou / Jake PaulUFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou claims the UFC is suing his team after discovering that his manager, Marquel Martin, has been talking with Jake Paul’s manager. Francis Ngannou is on top of the world at the moment – or so he thought. Not only did he successfully defend his heavyweight title against Cyril Gane, but he also pocketed $600,000 for his efforts, although he believes he’s worth more. The win also meant that his UFC contract was automatically extended for another three fights or one year via the championship clause. But that hasn’t stopped his team from seeking a bigger payout elsewhere. During an episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Ngannou revealed that his team has been in touch with Jake Paul’s manager – although he didn’t know about it himself and didn’t know how far negotiations have come. He also revealed that the UFC somehow discovered these talks and they weren’t impressed. In fact, they reportedly threatened to take legal action against his team over it – straining his relationship with the organization even more. “Going into the arena, I dressed up my suit, I walked to the room, and I was waiting for my manager and my coach,” said Ngannou. He could tell that something terrible had happened and asked them what was going on. “They told me that they just received an email from the UFC that said they were going to sue him for talking with Nakisa Bidarian,” he added. Bidarian is Jake Paul’s manager and has been alongside him throughout his boxing career. Ngannou insisted that he had no idea who Bidarian was or that his team had been in touch with him. However, the UFC wasn’t thrilled about it and decided to nip it in the bud. “It doesn’t look like they want to talk to me anymore.” Jake Paul has also been feuding with UFC President Dana White, urging him to pay his fighters more and provide long-term healthcare. However, it seems like the two have buried the hatchet and might even make a deal. Whether it comes to fruition is a different story. However, the thought of seeing The Problem Child take on The Predator – regardless of whether it’s in the ring or the octagon – is an exciting prospect for boxing fans and MMA fans alike.

Ex-UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou confirms talks with Jake Paul on PFL deal – Dexerto
Ex-UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou confirms talks with Jake Paul on PFL deal Instagram: francisngannou / Instagram: jakepaulFormer UFC heavyweight champion turned free agent Francis Ngannou has confirmed talks with Jake Paul on a possible PFL deal, though a timeline remains unclear. At the start of 2022, Francis Ngannou was the king of the combat sports world. Having successfully defended his UFC heavyweight title against a surging Ciryl Gane, the power-punching phenom looked set to reign over UFC’s top division for quite some time. However, disputes with the organization soon led to Ngannou’s departure without ever actually losing the belt. Now one of the hottest free agents on the market, options appear to be stacking up for The Predator. While a switch to boxing appears to be on the top of his list to start, the door is seemingly open for a return to MMA, just not with the UFC. Instead, the Professional Fighters League (PFL), an upcoming competitor that just signed Jake Paul to an exclusive deal, could be Ngannou’s next home. In fact, he’s even talked to the younger Paul brother directly about such a move. “It depends on where I am but I do think we can work together [with Jake Paul],” Ngannou said in a recent interview with TMZ Sports. Seemingly his top priority at this stage is locking in a boxing contest of some sort. Be it against Tyson Fury or even a possible bout with the sport’s heaviest hitter Deontay Wilder, Ngannou is shooting for the top names. However, conversations are still ongoing with Paul and the PFL on a return to MMA. “Also speaking of the PFL I have had a conversation with them too, so yes this is something in the near future that could happen very quick.” Obviously, plenty of options are still on the table, so nothing is yet set in stone. However, with internet sensation Jake Paul walking away with millions of dollars every time he steps under the bright lights, a similar deal could be enough to entice Ngannou over to PFL. Especially given Paul’s new responsibilities leading the ‘SuperFight Division’ that seems to be unlike anything else in the sport today. We’ll just have to wait and see where the UFC’s former best heavyweight ends up, but one thing is certain, Ngannou is in active talks with former YouTuber Jake Paul for a possible PFL tenure.

It’s not unusual to see the occasional wild fox trotting about town in the UK — but a man in Weston, England got more than he expected when one of the animals chomped down on his leg. In a clip circulating social media, a group of guys are seen gathered on the street discussing a local fox that’s been wandering around the neighborhood. “But it comes up to you, and you feed it,” one of the lads explained, to which his mate interrupted by saying the animal is likely “full of fleas.” “No no, it gets vetted,” the other man insisted. “There’s a vet on the thing. Look, look, see?” Right at that moment, the fox trotted up to the man and bit his leg right on the top of his shin, sparking some laughter from his friends who couldn’t help but roast the guy as the animal skittered off into the road. The critter managed to draw blood with its teeth — something the man pleading its case couldn’t believe. “The worst part is, I was giving it vibes!” he said. “Bigging it up and everything.” The humorous clip has been reposted numerous times online since April 2024, leaving viewers both amused and concerned for the man after receiving the injury. “Think he needs a rabies jab,” one netizen suggested. “Fox needs people to be scared of him!” another wrote. “Good luck for the infection now!” yet another advised. Despite viewers’ concerns, there is very little risk of getting a disease from a fox bite in the United Kingdom. In fact, neither parvovirus nor distemper have been recorded in foxes, as per The Fox Project, a wildlife charity in the UK. For those worried about contracting anything from a potential fox bite or scratch, experts claim that the animals have “less potential for infection than a domestic cat bite or scratch,” which are actually more prone to transmitting infection than foxes are. While there are very few recorded instances of foxes being aggressive to strangers, bites can happen when people try to feed the wild animals and get close to them. Such “attacks” are extremely rare, and foxes are not considered a “threat” to humans.

FPSRussia reveals why he was worried about being recognized in prison – Dexerto
FPSRussia reveals why he was worried about being recognized in prison YouTube/FPSRussiaPopular YouTube star Kyle ‘FPSRussia’ Myers has revealed what it was like during his two-month stint in prison earlier this year, and explained why he had to tell superfans to “get the f*ck away from me” to stay safe. FPSRussia rose to fame on YouTube for his gun demonstration videos, showing off the terrifying power of weapons like a golden AK-47, .50 BMG rifles, an armored troop carrier, and even a massive Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft cannon. Myers had his residence raided by authorities multiple times, mainly due to the nature of his video content, and during one such raid in August 2017, police found 25 grams of butane hash oil. The star was arrested for possession of a restricted substance, and had 50 of his firearms confiscated. Myers pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute, and on June 19 was sentenced to two years probation, and two months in prison. Unsurprisingly, once he was inside he bumped into a few of his followers — not too difficult to find considering he hit more than 6.5 million subscribers in May this year — and explained on PKA 459 how those same fans put him in “a lot of danger.” “The guards recognized me, two or three of them did, and they told their buddies who I was, and they all became fast fans and wanted autographs and talk to me about all kinds of stuff… I had to tell them to get the f*ck away from me,” Myers said. The problem, the YouTube star explained, was that while the guards were being quite innocent in coming round to Myers’ cell and “talking for ages” about his videos, the other inmates didn’t quite believe that was the only reason. Instead, other prisoners began to suspect Myers was “snitching on everyone” because he had become “good friends” with the guards so quickly, even going so far as to eavesdrop on his conversations around the cells. Myers’ 48-year-old cellmate “Snow,” who was allegedly a major player in the Mexican crime family on the outside, warned the YouTuber others had been keeping an eye on him, and were planning on pegging him as an informant. The YouTube star explained to his new friend that the guards were fans of his gun videos, and while Snow believed him, he warned others weren’t going to buy that story — even if it was the truth — and he had to “shut it down.” “I was like ‘Ah shit, you’re right,’ and I had to tell this guard: ‘Hey man, I appreciate you coming by, it’s nice to talk to someone that isn’t a f*cking criminal, but you’ve gotta stop, and tell the others they have to stop too’,” Myers said. “‘These guys are looking at us right now, turn around,’ I said to him, and sure enough there was a dude just f*cking watching me, listening in, trying to see what I was saying and snitching, and I had to tell the guards to lay off.” “The guards understood what I was saying, and they respected it, so they cut that out, and I definitely had to shut that down right away, that was not going well.” For mobile viewers, the related segment begins at 38:03. Myers also added being friends with the guards, even with them being super-fans, wasn’t going to turn out well at all, after PKA co-host Matthew ‘Woody’ Woodworth asked if he maybe could have “got protection” from his fans. “No, no, they’re not there to protect me, they’re there to protect you, from me,” Myers replied. “They guard the civilians from the felons, they’re there to keep you there and that’s their only concern. That’s all they care about, ever.” Despite Myers’ two months inside, and away from YouTube, the famous gunsmith is clearly still quite popular, with his four-hour return podcast with Woody and MurkaDurkah already rocketing past half a million views. While the 33-year-old hasn’t produced and uploaded any FPSRussia-branded videos starring his online persona Dmitri Potapoff since his last release on April 16, 2016, it seems like Myers is still going strong on the internet with PKA. There’s no telling if Myers may ever return to the dormant FPSRussia channel, but with all his experience from his two-month stint on the inside, he’d certainly have a host of new experiences to draw on for the character.

FouseyTube warns that his Snapchat account has been hacked – Dexerto
FouseyTube warns that his Snapchat account has been hacked YouTube star Yusef ‘FouseyTUBE’ Erekat discovered on December 12 that his Snapchat account has been hacked by fellow YouTuber M2thak. Getting hacked on social media is never a good thing, even more so when it’s by somebody you know. Fousey found out that his Snapchat account was hacked by M2thak, but instead of posting strange things on the account like we usually see with hacked accounts, he just explained that he wanted to talk. “Hey guys,” M2thak said. “I hope you guys are all enjoying FouseyTUBE’s page being hacked by yours truly, M2thak, and my team of great computer wizards such as Hackistan.” Instead of doing anything malicious, it sounds like he’s just doing it as a message to others about keeping their accounts safe and secure. “We’re not here to scare,” he said. “We’re not here to get clout. We’re here to send a message of cybersecurity.” https://twitter.com/joshpescatore/status/1205335872016723969 Instead of being worried about the hacking, he explained he hasn’t used the account in years. It seems a bit strange to hack an inactive account, but that is where we’re at right now. While you don’t want to ever be hacked, having an inactive account targeted is the best case scenario if it does happen. https://twitter.com/fousey/status/1205322875567259649 Since Fousey doesn’t seem too broken up about it being hacked, it seems like a non-issue in an otherwise tumultuous month for the YouTuber. On December 11, he was banned from Twitch – a suspension he thought was indefinite, so he began looking into ways to switch to Microsoft’s streaming platform Mixer. Eventually, he was able to go live on Caffeine since he was dead set on finding somewhere to stream for a night. However, the ban lasted just a day before being lifted, but then his Snapchat was hacked. On top of his December Twitch suspension, he was actually banned near the end of November, making it the second incident in less than a month. The YouTuber will certainly be looking to put this string of bad luck behind him as he closes out the decade and moves into 2020.

FouseyTUBE’s Sold Out Show Evacuated and Cancelled Following Bomb Threat – Dexerto
FouseyTUBE’s Sold Out Show Evacuated and Cancelled Following Bomb Threat @fouseyFouseyTUBE’s sold out “Hate Dies, Love Arrives” show at the Greek Theatre was evacuated on Sunday night following a bomb threat. According to reports, approximately 1,500 people were forced to leave the venue after someone made a call to the police and claimed to have placed an explosive device in the theater. An investigation ensued and no such device was discovered, reportedly leading the Los Angeles Police Department to believe that this could have been a “swatting” incident. Swatting involves a prank call that attempts to deceive emergency services into sending large numbers of armed police officers to a particular address. One clip from theCHAIZYchannel’s video of the event has been circulating online and shows the moment where attendees were asked to leave the venue and were ushered along by police officers. Yousef ‘Fousey’ Eraket’s posted a video to his Instagram channel where he discussed not being able to get into his show which, according to reports, was sold out: “We’re just being tested right now” The popular YouTuber followed this up with another post some hours later, saying that he knows there is a lot of “confusion and miscommunication right now” and claiming that his loyal fans could be fed a “false narrative”: “A wave of love and energy just caused a catastrophic movement that won’t be felt until the next 24 hours. I know there’s a lot of confusion and miscommunication right now. And trust me, there will be a narrative that will tried to be fed to y’all. But if you believe in love and God, I ask y’all to be patient, be understanding, wait for the story to tell itself. I won’t say a single thing for the next 24 hours to allow the WORLD to tell the story in its own.” Dear World. With love in my heart I come to you with only good intentions. Tonight was the most beautiful night of my life. And it was all because I was able to share it with y’all. A wave of love and energy just caused a catastrophic movement that won’t be felt until the next 24 hours. I know there’s a lot of confusion and miscommunication right now. And trust me, there will be a narrative that will tried to be fed to y’all. But if you believe in love and God, I ask y’all to be patient, be understanding, wait for the story to tell itself. I won’t say a single thing for the next 24 hours to allow the WORLD to tell the story in its own. To @champagnepapi @kingjames @theellenshow @meekmill @6ix9ine_ @diddy @djkhaled @kodaklens @troubleman31 @frenchmontana @bellahadid @theweeknd .. you will all receive this message soon. and i pray the energy is felt. #July15th #HateDiedLoveArrived #EnjoyTheShow #FeelTheLove #SpreadTheLove #HelpEachother #LoveEachother #RespectEachother #RemainHumbleThisIsNotYoirDoingAlone with love, Yousef Saleh Erakat. just a kid with a dollar and a dream. #RAWR

FouseyTube tours Tanner Fox’s multi-million dollar mansion and supercars – Dexerto
FouseyTube tours Tanner Fox’s multi-million dollar mansion and supercars YouTuber FouseyTube has taken his fans on a tour of the extravagant home of fellow YouTuber Tanner Fox, showing off the 20-year-old’s expensive tastes in supercars and luxury items. The young star has accumulated almost 10 million subscribers on the platform, in addition to another 4.4 million followers on Instagram, where he shows off his wealth as well as pranks and vlogs. Fousey, who himself boasts over 10 million subscribers, has been getting back into the YouTube game after a hiatus throughout much of 2019, and has kicked off a new ‘YouTube Cribs’ series, which first started with Logan Paul. The Logan episode has racked up over 3 million views in a month, already making it one of Fousey’s most successful videos, and it was followed up by a tour of Lance Stewart’s mansion, which has surpassed 1 million views. The tour starts with Tanner showing off his car collection, which includes a Porsche GT3 RS and Tesla Model X, plus Tanner’s “baby” – an almost entirely custom Nissan GT-R. Called the ‘Guac Zilla’, the GT-R has it’s own dedicated Instagram account with 650K followers, and Fox boasts that it’s the “most famous GT-R in the world”. Beyond the cars, Fox also showed off some of his priciest items inside the home – a five-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion. Some of his indulgences include a $3,000 armchair that “nobody sits in”, his turtle, sneaker collection and jacuzzi style bathtub. One of the more extravagant items was his all-in-one gaming setup, which he received for free from the company – which later went out of business before he even got a chance to promote the product. On his own channel, Tanner took Fousey out in all three of his cars, including the 1000BHP GT-R, and Fousey’s personal favorite, the Tesla. In 2020, Fousey will be aiming to reinvigorate his channel, and so far, the YouTube cribs series is proving to be a hit, and could be the platform needed to bounce back.

Fouseytube wants “all the smoke” with Jake Paul ahead of KSI vs Logan Paul rematch – Dexerto
Fouseytube wants “all the smoke” with Jake Paul ahead of KSI vs Logan Paul rematch Youtube: Fouseytube, Jake PaulYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to throw down in the boxing ring once more on November 9, but word is still out on an undercard – but social media celeb Yousef “Fouseytube” Erakat has his own plans for the event. While Fouseytube took a year-long hiatus from content creation, the YouTuber is back and better than ever, scheduled to box fellow YouTuber Slim Albaher in September – but Slim isn’t the only opponent Fousey has his eyes on. Erakat made a major callout toward popular YouTuber Jake Paul in a video on August 21, challenging him to step in the boxing ring for “personal” reasons that he didn’t want to air out publicly. 600“My endgame is Jake Paul,” Fouseytube stated. “Jake, I want all the smoke. You know who my coaches are, you know who my trainers are – you have history with them. Well, they’re my coaches now. And we want all the smoke!” Paul wasn’t the only YouTuber Fousey went after, either: he also responded to a sparring challenge issued by Deji Olatunji, KSI’s younger brother, who claimed that Fousey was “nowhere near ready” to fight him. “Deji, I don’t know what you’re thinking,” Fousey responded. “I don’t know who you thought you were against Jake, but you are not about that life. If you want to spar, you can get it any time.” Although Deji originally wanted a rematch against Jake, the youngest Paul brother denied his request, claiming that he wanted to fight someone with “clout” – and while he has yet to respond to Fousey’s callout, another YouTuber has also risen to the challenge. Instagram star and bodybuilder Bradley Martyn replied to news outlet “TheBreadBatch’s” coverage of the subject, responding with a “wave” to indicate that he would take on the Team 10 leader. Although Martyn is nowhere near the same weight class as Paul, their bout would make for an interesting matchup, considering the bodybuilder’s huge muscle against Jake’s leaner physique. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BsE8wL7hO3C/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkWith nothing set in stone just yet, fans are waiting with bated breath for further details on the fight, which will throw down in the Los Angeles Staples Center in just three months.
