Five Nights at Freddy’s cutouts stolen from cinemas in bizarre new trend Twitter: @CEOofIsaac / TikTok: @this_is_sandyyPeople are stealing Five Nights at Freddy’s promotional movie cutouts from theatres all across the world in a trend that is going viral across social media. Five Nights at Freddy’s, also known as FNAF, is a hit horror game that loyal fans still love years after its initial release in 2014 – and were thrilled to hear that their favorite animatronic killers were going to be on the big screen in the movie theatres. The film, while receiving a mixed reception on Rotten Tomatoes, is a “truly spooky treat that everyone will love” – but Universal Pictures found out that fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s also liked the signs that promoted the movie in theatres, so much so that it has become a viral trend to take them. Fans race to steal Five Nights at Freddy’s signs Viral videos are being posted all across social media of people attempting to steal the cutouts and signs, causing frustration for cinema employees who had to try and stop them. Some viewers couldn’t believe what they were seeing as they watched video after video of people trying not to get caught taking the FNAF cutouts: “YALL GOTTA CALM DOWN JEEZ WHAT DID UR PARENTS FEED YALL???” one person said. But some Five Night’s at Freddy’s fans took the trend to a whole new level, as they competed to see who could manage to steal the sign the quickest: “People taking the FNAF signs are really going superhuman levels of speed.” Others agreed with the original poster, that people were unlocking new levels of athleticism in their pursuit of the cinema cutouts and signs: “By the time they all turned around he was already gone.” But while fans of the Five Nights at Freddy’s were quick to escape the cinema security guards, many characters in the movies weren’t quick enough to escape the grasp of the animatronics – he is a list of every character that died in the movie.

Five Nights at Freddy’s movie trailer leaked online Scott CawthonThe trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s was leaked onto Twitter before being quickly taken down. The film was leaked on Twitter in two parts, and featured a large watermark designed for internal use to prevent leaks. The tweets have since been taken down, and it’s not clear if the trailer was a work in progress or the final product. Although fans might be dissapointed that they’ll have to wait a bit longer to see the trailer, it likely wont’t be too long before it drops officially, because The Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is set to release right in time for Halloween on October 27, 2023. While filming for the FNAF project only kicked off in February 2023, fans can still expect to see the full movie by the end of this year, as Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum announced on Twitter. Five Nights at Freddy’s is known for its creepy horror setting and use of constant jump scares as a gameplay element. Trapped inside a Chuck-E-Cheese-style kid’s restaurant, with animatronic puppets that come alive at night, the series is the perfect fit for the big screen. It was announced several years earlier that Blumhouse Productions, known for its horror movies from Insidious to The Purge to The Black Phone, would be producing the FNAF movie, but little information has come out about the movie since. Who is cast in the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie? On December 16, 2022, Deadline reported that Matthew Lillard and Josh Hutcherson had been cast in the movie, though their roles have not been specified. Insider DanielRPK also reported on January 24 that Elizabeth Lail has been added to the cast, potentially as a female police officer. Emma Tammi, who directed The Wind and Blood Moon, has also been confirmed to write and direct Five Nights at Freddy’s. For more information on the movie, check out our full guide here.

Viral TikTok Five Guys hack scores customers a ‘free cheeseburger’ Five GuysTikTok user HellthyJunkFood shared a simple Five Guys food hack that should result in customers getting a “free cheeseburger.” HellthyJunkFood has provided fellow TikTok users with plenty of noteworthy food hacks, specifically targeting fast food chains whose menu options allow for a few creative loopholes. Earlier this summer, for example, the account made waves by highlighting the “travel fries” hack at McDonald’s. By asking for a larger order of fries to be served in a cup, customers will receive more fries. The same TikToker also came up with a hack for ordering a bigger and cheaper Big Mac, which hinges on the purchase of two McDoubles. Burger lovers should check out HellthyJunkFood’s latest proposal, as well. This TikTok food hack for Five Guys is all about a free burger Another day, another food hack from HellthyJunkFood on TikTok. And this time, burger joint Five Guys sits at the center of attention. The latest hack will supposedly end with customers taking home a “free cheeseburger.” Kind of. Because Five Guys’ regular cheeseburger comes with two patties and free toppings, the process itself is rather simple. Five Guys lovers need only to order a cheeseburger with their toppings on the side. Asking for an extra bun marks the next step, and an easy one, too, since the excess bread comes free of charge. Back at home, the extra patty and bun are used to make a second burger. Folks can dress the two cheeseburgers however they see fit, thanks to the separately packaged toppings. Of course, the mileage may vary on this particular Five Guys hack. One user responded that their local restaurant doesn’t give buns for free. Someone claiming to work at a Five Guys said their store doesn’t offer extra buns, either. Regardless, some may still find the hack worth a try.

Five Guys & Wendy’s workers go viral after faking argument over whose job is better Instagram: cthagodEmployees of Five Guys and Wendy’s got into an argument after work about whose job is better — but was it real? Fast food competition is as old as the original cheeseburger, as McDonald’s is often compared to places like Wendy’s and Burger King. The competition is so fierce that YouTuber OllyBee decided to turn himself into a Five Guys worker to fake an argument with a staged Wendy’s worker while seemingly commuting back home after their shifts. Though it never became physical, the dispute, as intended, caused the internet to laugh at the dialogue the two shared. YouTuber OllyBee has recreated the Five Guys and Wendy’s skit multiple times YouTuber OllyBee linked up with a group of friends to record a fake dispute between himself dressed as a Five Guys worker and another guy dressed as a Wendy’s employee. Though the argument was staged, as OllyBee has recreated the skit multiple times on various trains, the video of one of their disputes went viral for its hilarity. As OllyBee, the Five Guys worker, began walking away, the guy from Wendy’s said, “You sound like a porn video!” At first, the Five Guys worker acted like he didn’t understand the joke, however, he eventually retaliated by asking, “How much do you make an hour? You don’t make sh*t an hour, bro.” The Wendy’s worker replied, “I’m racked up, bro!” The Five Guys employee then pointed to his expensive shoes as the Wendy’s worker tripped over his own feet. Continuing to put each other on blast, the guy from Wendy’s tried to insult the Five Guys worker by calling him “Jack Harlow.” That’s when the Five Guys worker really stepped it up by asking him, “Bro, how many people do you get a shift? Three, max! I have a full shift tomorrow — $18 an hour.” The Wendy’s employee then shook his head and said he didn’t care before mentioning that the Five Guys worker likely didn’t ‘f*ck b*tches.’ The video ended with the two distancing themselves from each other. However, people on the internet couldn’t help but laugh at their argument, saying, “Comedy, they’re really beefing!” While another wrote, “This might be the brokest argument I’ve ever seen in my life.” As for the reaction of those on the train who were in the surrounding area of the argument, not a single person chimed in. One gentleman even moved away as slowly as possible as if thought the argument would reach higher temperaments.

Fitness YouTuber suggests Logan Paul may have used PEDs before Mayweather fight Instagram: Logan Paul/ YouTube: More Plates More DatesLogan Paul has may have used performance-enhancers prior to his fight with Floyd Mayweather on June 6, says fitness YouTuber More Plates More Dates, who analyzed the YouTuber’s physique. No winner was officially announced after the historic fight between the 50-0 world champion and Logan Paul, but many were surprised that Logan was able to survive a full eight rounds. Despite some heavy rumors, the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer has also had to shut down rumors that he actually got knocked out and Floyd held him up to prolong the fight. Either way, Logan’s impressive performance has led many to cast a suspicious eye that perhaps he had some help. More Plates More Dates has theorized that Logan likely had some kind of performance-enhancing drugs in his system, first identifying the differences in his physical appearance from years previous to this current stint of training in the lead-up to the fight. The Fitness YouTuber ruled out anabolic steroids based on how much muscle mass Logan would likely want to gain, instead considering that in order to fight a global champion, he would have focused on metabolic modulators and endurance aids. He added that he believed Logan was likely using aids that are allowed in an exhibition match, as someone who is new to boxing and therefore has some leeway as far as testing goes. “The most logical thing obviously would be enhancing your endurance through manipulating her hematology,” the fitness YouTuber said. “So that would involve blood transfusions potentially… and then as well as looking at something like EPO that would be a very very obvious go-to for somebody as a boxer.” He added, “This is the kind of sh*t you can get away with fairly easily if you don’t have a bunch of background data that shows like even a minuscule aberration would trigger a red flag.” The YouTuber noted that it was likely, “especially given [Logan] gassing the f*ck out in the KSI fights, like his obvious biggest detriment is gassing out so why would you not be looking at that?” Whether Logan used performance enhancers or not, going the full eight rounds is still a huge achievement when faced against global champion Floyd Mayweather.

Fitness YouTuber Chloe Ting addresses “malicious” claims against her YouTube: Chloe Ting[jwplayer x4BGZGke]Popular fitness YouTuber Chloe Ting has addressed a “defamation” campaign against her, labeling her a “scammer” in a rare video posted to her channel. Chloe Ting, from Brunei, is well known for her workout videos, fashion, and travel content. She has more than 13.5 million subscribers to her YouTube channel and her most popular video has more than 200 million views. While the 34-year-old normally stays out of any drama on the platform, Chloe responded to hate comments and said “It’s time for me to address it”, describing the accusations against her as “malicious.” The hater in question, who was not named or linked to, allegedly posted 62 different slides to their Instagram story accusing Chloe of being a “scammer”, of clickbait and being “fake news”. Chloe said that she normally ignores these, but that this time the person had been selling their words as an exposé, and “trying to make a profit out of it.” She said “I don’t condone this, and I won’t be a pushover” One of the repeated accusations against Chloe was that she was encouraging body dysmorphia and an unhealthy lifestyle. The YouTuber took her response one step further by enlisting the help of Dr. Ben Buchanan, a Clinical Psychologist specialist in body dysmorphic disorder in Melbourne who said that Chloe herself was being body-shamed. He praised Chloe for the “kind and compassionate community” she had created. Dietician Abbey Sharp was also brought in by Chloe to dispel the accusations about her approach to eating. Abbey said, “I really applaud you for promoting a generally balanced approach to food.” Within hours of posting, Chloe’s fans leaped to her defense in the comment section, with one fan writing “She’s the CUTEST she doesn’t deserve any hate and just the fact that she’s not leaking this person’s name is just so awesome and my respect for her went ??” Chloe summarised. “I’m a human being and not someone you can just shit on just because you want to grow your following “Trust me there’s a lot more going behind the scenes… I guess it comes with the number of subscribers that I get and I can handle it.”

Fitness influencer hits back after Joey Swoll calls her out for “filming her butt” YouTube: Joey Swoll / Instagram: addisonelisa.fitA fitness influencer is hitting back at internet-famous bodybuilder Joey Swoll after he called her out for slamming a “random guy” who looked at her as she posed in the gym. Gyms are prime locations for capturing viral content. From brawls breaking out at YMCA basketball courts to streamers getting swatted in their boxing gyms, plenty of internet-famous moments have taken place in fitness spaces. However, a good chunk of viral gym videos have stemmed from female content creators who call out men in their gyms for making them uncomfortable… but a fair few of these clips have come under fire from viewers who aren’t happy with their accusations. Joey Swoll is a prominent fitness influencer and bodybuilder who is known across social media for calling out bad behavior in gyms, and he certainly isn’t afraid to put some women on blast for ‘unfairly’ accusing guys of staring at them during their workouts. Woman claims Joey Swoll’s fans told her to “off herself” In the most recent installment of the Joey Swoll saga, the bodybuilder called out fitness influencer ‘Addison Elisa,’ who shared a clip of herself posing in the gym to admire her “gains” when she spotted a guy looking at her as he walked by. Elisa quickly turned away as though she were uncomfortable and captioned the video: “POV: You’re admiring your gains, but so is the random guy walking past the room.” Swoll didn’t feel it was fair for the influencer to accuse the ‘random guy’ of exhibiting untoward behavior, especially when she appeared to be filming her body for the internet to see. “Filming your a** for the entire internet to see, but you’re upset when a guy walking by looks in to see what you’re doing?” he said in a response video. “How does that even make sense?” It’s not uncommon for the influencers Swoll calls out to receive an influx of critical comments on their social media afterwards — and that’s exactly what happened to Addison, who provided her own response to the situation on Instagram. “Joey Swoll, I understand your intent when you post is to bring light to things, and accountability has been taken by me,” she wrote. “My intent was not to blast this man when posting this video, however, that’s how it was received.” “But to be a man with so much influence and taking a video that said NOTHING about me having a problem with him looking in the room OR my a** out of context, is wild to me,” she continued. “I get awkward the second I see someone coming, not because he was a man, but because it caught me off-guard. Not because I had a problem with him walking by, I don’t care who looks at me in the gym. We all have eyes. I’ve probably been caught in 4k before, as well.” Ultimately, it looks as though Addison admitted that her video may have been unfair to the guy, but maintained that the treatment she received from Swoll and his fanbase was over the top — even claiming that some viewers told her to “off herself” in DMs. Thus far, Swoll hasn’t offered his answer to her response, but appeared to double down on his stance in a reply to another user on Twitter/X. This is just the latest Joey Swoll video to go viral after he called out a gal for ‘hogging’ gym equipment and filming a stranger during her workout.

Fitness influencers face backlash for belittling man’s exercise routine TikTok: soogia1While working out near each other at the gym, two fitness influencers belittled a man’s workout routine. They later faced their own criticism on TikTok. Working out in public can take confidence that may have needed to be built for years before doing so. But when you finally get there and get your routine down, the experience of being at the gym isn’t so bad. However, when two fitness influencers recently made fun of a man’s routine, the whole ‘liberation’ of being at the gym was stolen from beneath his feet. The women who belittled the man later faced their own backlash after they uploaded the video to TikTok. Fitness influencers call man at the gym “weird” for his workout routine while laughing hysterically Fitness influencers Berna and Debora were working out at the gym when a man nearby had a peculiar workout routine. Though he was locked in, enjoying his music and gym time, Berna and Debora set their camera up to record him. But that’s not all — they then made a mockery out of his routine, re-enacting what he was doing all while laughing hysterically. The fitness influencers later uploaded the video to their TikToks but took it down after they faced criticism from viewers. They even included a text overlay on the video that read, “Copying the weird man in the corner of the gym.” However, plenty of social media personalities got a hold of the original video and have continued to expose Berna and Debora for their actions. Those who have seen the video have commented on how disheartening their bashing was, saying, “It’s so sad to see this. The gym is already an intimidating place. People are there to better themselves, not be scrutinized.” Others called the influencers out for their actions, saying, “Those women are so miserable in their own life to sit there and be this mean for no reason.” Another viewer also pointed out the fact that the man was saving himself from injury, saying, “They’re making fun of him because he’s doing what I assume is pre-workout dynamic stretches? Do they want him to get injured?” Since facing the backlash from belittling the man at the gym, both Berna and Debora have made their TikTok accounts private. Neither have commented further on their actions.

First pages, release date for Ninja’s new graphic novel revealed Mixer megastar Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins is turning into a comic book hero in his upcoming graphic novel ‘Ninja: The Most Dangerous Game,’ and now fans have got their first look at the first 14 pages of the highly-anticipated December release. Blevins has combined with veteran writer Justin Jordan and Team Liquid comic artist Felipe Magaña to launch his first graphic story, based around a fictional version of the Mixer streamer receiving a “mysterious contraption” that teleports Ninja into a battle royale arena. While the battle royale this version of Ninja is “the undisputed champion” of doesn’t seem exactly like Fortnite, and looks to be based more around swordplay and ninjas than building and guns, it’s pretty clear the streaming star has stuck to what he knows best. The opening pages of the story depict a gung-ho playing the virtual battle royale alongside a number of fictional friends, including Liza ‘Lizard’ Mearkle, Josh ‘Dozer’ Dyson, and Holland ‘Killer’ Keller, as well as a mysterious ally named Zephyr. After proving — and mentioning a fair few times in the early dialogue — that he’s the best player in the video game ‘Ketterung,’ Ninja is interrupted by the aforementioned mysterious package at the door, which kicks off the gaming star’s cartoon adventure. Ninja’s storyline is nothing new, with Hollywood franchises like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Spy Kids 3D taking the story to the big screen, but readers will likely be picking up the book to see just how he puts the spin on the age-old ‘out-of-body’ adventure. There’s also good news for fans that already enjoyed the first 14-page glimpse into Ninja’s graphic novel adventure, as the minds behind the ‘Most Dangerous Game’ release have already confirmed this is just the first book in a new series based around the Mixer star. While there’s no indication the sequels will also see Ninja drop into a Fortnite-like arena, the book’s press release suggests all of them will be based around “exciting gaming adventures with the fate of the world at stake” — talk about ramping up a video game’s stakes. According to a press release from publishers Ten Speed Press, Ninja: The Most Dangerous Game is expected to release on December 3, with its drop date smacked right in the middle of the perfect Christmas shopping period. The Most Dangerous Game is the third book Ninja has launched as part of his 2019 deal with Clarkson Potter and Ten Speed Press after he dropped “Get Good” and “Ninja’s Notebook” as a dual release in August.

Fitness influencer dies in fatal accident while attempting 210kg squat press Instagram: justynvickiibali_island33-year-old fitness influencer and bodybuilder Justyn Vicky died in a fatal accident while attempting a 210k squat press that broke his neck. Fitness influencers abound all across social media, offering workout plans, diet information, and various tips and tricks to help gym-goers make the most out of their workouts. Justyn Vicky was one such influencer, as well as a bodybuilder, who shared his fitness journey with nearly 30,000 followers on Instagram. However, the worst happened during one of his workouts, leading to his tragic death. 33-year-old fitness influencer dies after attempting 210kg squat press On July 15, Vicky was in the middle of strength training at The Paradise Bali gym in Sanur, Indonesia when he got ready to squat press 210kg (around 460 lbs). Vicky attempted to rise, carrying the weight on his shoulders, when he failed to stand upright. According to reports, his spotter could not help him up, and the bar came crashing forward on Vicky’s neck. The influencer was rushed to the hospital, with reports claiming he suffered a broken neck as a result of the ordeal — as well as “critical compression of vital nerves” connecting to his organs. Surgeons performed an emergency operation on the bodybuilder, who died from his injuries shortly thereafter at just 33 years old. Fans and fellow athletes are expressing their heartfelt condolences on Vicky’s Instagram page in the wake of the tragic accident that took his life. “He was always full of positive vibes and [made me stay] motivated,” one user wrote. “I’ll never forget his impact on my fitness journey. It’s a tough loss, but we’ll keep his spirit alive.” “I didn’t know him well, but when we talked, he seemed like a great person,” another said. “My condolences to the family.” The Paradise Bali gym, where the incident took place, also offered their support via Instagram, writing: “To our dear Justyn, your impact on our lives is immeasurable.” “Your legacy will live on through the countless lives you’ve touched, the transformations you’ve inspired, and the love and passion you infused into every moment we spent together. Rest peacefully, dear friend. You will forever remain in our hearts.” Lifting heavy weights certainly comes with a measure of risk. In January, prominent Twitch streamer Mizkif was in the middle of benching 315 lbs when he dropped the bar on his chest. Luckily, the streamer was okay — but his accident served as a grim warning for fitness enthusiasts.

First look at leaked 100 Thieves Valkyrae toy figure The cat’s out of the bag – Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofsetter will be receiving an exclusive toy figurine in 2020. Streamers like TimTheTatman, Ninja, and LIRIK all received special figurines in 2019 to commemorate their growth on Twitch, and it looks like fns can now add Valkyrae to that list. With streaming now bigger than it’s ever been, it’s not very surprising to see many broadcasters branching out into other avenues of income as they capitalize on their popularity. This new Valkyrae figure is set to debut in January, but it wasn’t actually supposed to be revealed just yet. After a fan got Valkyrae’s attention with an image of it, she confirmed the release window. “Welp, I guess this was leaked early LOL,” she tweeted. “I have my first ever toy/figure coming out in January.” https://twitter.com/Valkyrae/status/1211882559732273152?s=19 Valkyrae’s figure stands out from the rest, because it doesn’t merely feature her – it will also come with her pet dog, Mika. While it wasn’t able to make it time to be a holiday present, we’re sure it’ll be popular among her fans, nonetheless. The toy is produced by Youtooz, the same company that also announced a Pokimane toy figure in November. This means they will now be producing toys of two of the most popular female Twitch streamers out there. We don’t have a concrete release date as of yet ,but with Valkyrae saying it’s coming in January, we know it’ll be much sooner than later. Valkyrae joined the 100 Thieves organization as a content creator back in 2018 and very quickly became a fan-favorite among viewers. For a while, she was their only female creator, but that changed when the organization signed BrookeAB in 2019. She has since moved out of the 100 Thieves house, but is still very much part of the organization and continues to appear in their videos quite frequently. Update for my people❤️ I’M MOVING in 1 week! well.. @sonii and I are😊I am not leaving 100Thieves. I resigned for another year☺️ We got a place 5-10 min away so I can walk over. I will leave my setup at 100T and stream from there. My dog will stay at the new place!— RAE (@Valkyrae) November 25, 2019 2019 was a big year for her, but it looks like 2020 will be getting off to a fast start with the launch of her figurine. Who knows what else she has in store for the new decade?

First look at official Ninja Red Bull limited-edition can Red BullTwitch and YouTube star Tyler ‘Ninja‘ Blevins has unveiled the new Red Bull cans emblazoned with his likeness, as part of the energy drink company’s sponsorship of the Fortnite streaming sensation. Ninja has been sponsored by Red Bull since 2016, and they took their partnership to a new level in 2018, when Red Bull kitted out his new luxurious streaming room. Red Bull continues to support the world of esports and gaming stars, sponsoring organizations like 100 Thieves, professional players and of course streamers, and for the first time ever, a streamer will be featured on Red Bull cans. Red Bull’s involvement in esports goes back further than most other non-endemic companies, as long time fans will know, their sponsorship of Halo player David ‘Walshy’ Walsh was a huge deal back in Halo’s hay-day. They also signed up Matthew ‘Nadeshot‘ Haag (now the founder and CEO of 100 Thieves) when he was at the peak of his powers in Call of Duty, and now, or course, Ninja is the next big thing. With over 13 million followers on Twitch, he has more than double the 2nd most followed channel, Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek, and has surpassed 20 million subscribers on YouTube too. 18 year old me would think this is a dream. Incredible proud and so happy to have this @redbull partnership and to have made my dreams come true. https://t.co/5TlfilVoVS — Ninja (@Ninja) March 27, 2019 Like Walshy before him, Ninja also comes from a Halo background. In fact, he’s not the first Halo player to be featured on a can, as OpTic Gaming’s Michael ‘Flamesword’ Chavez featured on Red Bull’s Destiny cans in 2015. 2018 was a massive year for Ninja, cementing him as the most popular streamer and enjoying a meteoric rise up the ladder of gaming influencers to sit at the very top. 2019 has continued in a similar vein so far, and his new Red Bull can will be something he can cherish forever. The new can will be available starting April 1 to 4, while stocks last.

First look at David Dobrik’s new $9.5 million LA mansion David Dobrik / Realtor.comPopular YouTube vlogger David Dobrik has bought an incredible $9.5 million mansion set up in the hills of Los Angeles, as the online influencer has finally found a new place to nestle up. The long search for new digs has come to an end for the Slovak-born star, according to property records described by Dirt. Dobrik will now get cozy in a gigantic mansion to accommodate his larger-than-life charm, as shown in his hilarious Vine and YouTube videos since 2013. His success has grown to the point where he’s now dropping massive stacks on a gorgeous LA property overlooking Tinseltown’s doorstep. This location is bound to be featured in some capacity in a new video or the occasional Instagram post, but fans can get a look at it in full below. Sporting six bedrooms and seven bathrooms on a whopping 7,800 square feet of land, Dobrik’s new property is going to have no problem hosting friends and loved ones in the open-design rooms and living spaces. Dobrik’s new home features a living room in two halves; on one end there’s room for a simple round table with multiple guests and across the way, there’s a traditional set-up overlooked by a giant granite-like wall with an electric fireplace. There are wide-open spaces that have entire walls replaced with windows for an accessible view to the city below. In a more intimate capacity, even a wine closet is lined with windows for guests to peek into the owner’s collection. The property has all the amenities to not only live freely like Dobrik is known for, but to also produce content in a lavish environment. The YouTuber has been on the search for a new place for a while, and the urgency of the house-buying tour was made more prevalent in late June when Dobrik had to ask enthusiastic fans to stop showing up at his home. Hopefully, this time around the love of his fans won’t disturb the security of his residence, since this place has all the potential to be the star’s next long-time abode.

First Hololive EN and NIJISANJI EN collab confirmed after months of speculation YouTube: Regis Altare / YouTube: Alban KnoxThere’s been rampant speculation around where Hololive EN and NIJISANJI EN stand following a number of canceled collaborations between the groups. However the first has finally been confirmed between HOLOSTARS’ Regis Altare and Noctyx’s Alban Knox. Collaborations are commonplace in the VTubing space. However two groups have never appeared on stream together, and that’s Hololive EN and NIJISANJI EN. The two agencies and their English-speaking VTubers outwardly support one another on Twitter. Behind closed doors they play games together. However, the line has been drawn at actually collaborating on stream. While the exact reasons will remain a mystery, rumors can be put to bed after the first stream between Hololive and NIJISANJI’s EN branches has been confirmed — two years after the former debuted. The collaboration, penned for Saturday, October 15 at 3PM PT, was confirmed by Regis Altare with a simple tweet: “Hi I’m going to stream Terraria with Alban Knox”. “It’s here,” Alban Knox replied. “Time for some fun later this week!” The news was received well by fans from both sides, finally getting a long-awaited collab between NIJISANJI EN and Hololive EN. It’s not the first time Hololive and NIJISANJI VTubers have collaborated. In fact, it’s a common-enough occurrence in the Japanese space. However, this is the first English-speaking collaboration between the two agencies heralded as titans in the VTubing space. Previous collaborations between the two arms had been halted at the last minute. Pomu Rainpuff and Takanashi Kiara have both alluded to wanting to collab on stream, while Selen Tatsuki had a rumored stream with Hololive ID’s Kureiji Ollie canceled at the last minute. The news should put to bed some speculation between the two agencies holding apathy against each other, and it will be a great time as both communities celebrate their growth together in the space across the last couple of years.

First look at D’Amelio footwear revealed as TikTok stars lock in Summer 2023 launch Twitter: D’Amelio FootwearThe upcoming D’Amelio footwear line is getting closer and closer to launching, with a new line of social media profiles for the products hinting at a Summer 2023 arrival for the new D’Amelio products. A brand new D’Amelio footwear line is on the way, with the company teasing that the new products will be arriving sometime in Summer 2023. This post was made across social media platforms on a brand-new account known as D’Amelio Footwear. This is likely the first of many posts and operating as a way to kickstart the brand-new line of D’Amelio products. The teaser doesn’t give much away other than the label and box of the shoes. A slick black and white logo. However, just above the box includes the bottom of a shoe, one that features a very chunky looking sole. It’s unclear whether this shoe is a type of sneaker or a more boot-like item of footwear. However, it is likely that the D’Amelio footwear range will include both as well as other styles of shoe. Back in September 2022, the D’Amelio family confirmed that they will be venturing into the world of skincare, footwear, and other items. An announcement made at the time revealed that, “the company’s goal is to create authentic and accessible products across a variety of industries, from fashion and beauty to CPG and lifestyle, and bring it under one roof, allowing each member of the family to fully immerse themselves in all areas of product development.” Since then, the D’Amelio’ have gone on to create a variety of new products. Back in July 2022, Charlie D’Amelio unveiled her first perfume, Born Dreamer. The item is currently available for purchase online and in stores.

Firefighters rush to house fire only to find “amazing” Halloween display Facebook: Glens Falls Firefighters IAFF Local 2230Firefighters in New York rushed to the call of a house fire only to find “amazing” Halloween decorations instead of flames. Halloween is fast approaching as we enter the spooky season and many lovers of the holiday have already got to work decorating their houses for the big night. However, one person might have done a little too well with their convincing decor when their enthusiasm and commitment to the holiday resulted in a phone call to emergency services. The fire department in Glens Falls, New York, rushed to a housefire call only to find the danger was all special-effects. Sharing footage of the impressive set-up to Facebook, the fire department wrote, “Tonight crews were dispatched to the area of Sanford St for a report of a confirmed structure fire. To our surprise, this was an amazing Halloween decoration.” In their post, they also revealed that the impressive display would be up “Friday and Saturday nights for the public’s entertainment” until the end of October. And it looks like these Halloween fans aren’t the only ones to think of the neat trick, with another TikToker sharing their own fiery illusion. Viewers were blown away by the decoration’s realistic appearance, which according to the fire department was made out of ”two LED lights, a box fan, a silver sheet” and a fog machine. One said, “That’s actually really scary it’s so real,” another wrote, “This is SO good! Nicely done!” However, not everyone thought the fake flames were a good idea, pointing out that they might keep firefighters from a real job. Luckily, one person had some handy advice; “If you have decorations like this, it’s best to give the fire department a call and give them a warning so they don’t show up at your house!” Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

First ever YouTube video altered as company co-founder protests dislike removal Jawed Karim/YouTubeJawed Karim, one of YouTube’s co-founders, has altered the text of the first video ever uploaded to the site to share a disapproving message of the removal of the thumbs down button. On November 10, YouTube announced it had begun hiding dislikes on videos across the platform. With a gradual rollout of the removal of dislikes ensuing, many popular content creators like PewDiePie and xQc chimed in with criticism of the decision. Now, a co-founder of the company has shared his thoughts on the thumbs-down removal. To reduce targeted dislike attacks & their impact on creators (esp on smaller creators), you’ll no longer see a public dislike *count* on YouTube starting today (the dislike button is staying). This comes after lots of research, testing & consideration → https://t.co/mJWDJSSRoG — TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) November 10, 2021 YouTube co-founder speaks out Jawed Karim is a co-founder of YouTube and the creator of the first video ever published to the site, a video titled, “Me at the zoo.” Read More: How to watch Stitches on TikTok – The video was originally published on April 23, 2005, and has garnered over 200 million views since it was uploaded over 15 years ago. In response to the company’s removal of the dislike option, Jawed updated the description of the video in objection of the choice. Jawed said, “Why would YouTube make this universally disliked change? There is a reason, but it’s not a good one, and not one that will be publicly disclosed. Instead, there will be references to various studies. Studies that apparently contradict the common sense of every YouTuber.” Karim also noted the importance of the dislike button for YouTube: “The ability to easily and quickly identify bad content is an essential feature of a user-generated content platform. Why? Because not all user-generated content is good. It can’t be. In fact, most of it is not good. And that’s OK.” This is not the first time Karim has altered the description of “Me at the zoo” to disapprove of YouTube’s actions. YouTube co-founder, Jawed Karim, has criticized the platform’s removal of public dislike counts on videos… says it will lead to YouTube becoming a place where everything is mediocre. He has altered the description of his and YouTube’s first-ever video to share his statement. pic.twitter.com/1iprqlMyht — Abhishek Baxi (@baxiabhishek) November 18, 2021 He similarly changed it in 2013, when YouTube began requiring users commenting on YouTube videos to do so via a Google+ account, a service that is no longer available. YouTube’s decision to remove the dislike option continues to spark a backlash, even among members of its own company.

Firefighters race to iShowSpeed’s home after Pikachu fireworks disaster YouTube: iShowSpeedIn the spirit of Independence Day, popular American YouTuber ‘iShowSpeed ‘ decided to light up a Pikachu-themed firework in his bedroom, igniting bedlam that prompted a visit from his local Fire Department. iShowSpeed is a hugely popular YouTuber who boasts over 9 million subscribers on his main channel. Speed is best known for his chaotic live streams, which once saw the influencer booted out of a theme park after broadcasting his boisterous ride on a roller coaster. In his latest on-stream shenanigan, the YouTuber shared his July 4th fireworks haul during a celebratory Independence Day broadcast… but it didn’t end with applause. During his stream, Speed lit up a Pikachu-shaped firework that spouted sparks from the top of its head. At first, it seemed like nothing more than a simple fountain — but Speed began to panic when the Pokemon turned up the heat. The Pikachu began spouting sparks from four different openings and even started spinning around, falling off his bed and onto the carpeted floor. https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1544052695975198720 Speed called for his mother in the midst of the chaos, who screamed and appeared to worry that a fire may have started from the firework. After a heated conversation with her son, the house could be seen filling with smoke. The two were later gifted a visit from their local fire department, which viewers could see searching Speed’s room for damage. (Topic begins at 46 minutes) Luckily, both Speed and his mother appear to be alright, although it’s unclear how much damage was done to the home at the time of writing. Speed has posted to Twitter asking his fans to pray for him. https://twitter.com/ishowspeed/status/1544052623334072325 The moment has even sparked a response from fellow influencer KSI, who reacted with a Tweet hoping the YouTuber and his mother are safe and sound. Fans are sending the streamer their best wishes following the explosive broadcast, which has already racked up nearly half a million views just over an hour after being steamed.

Firefighters rescue Disney guests on “sinking” Pirates of the Caribbean ride TIKTOK: justnjames_A viral TikTok showed Disneyland guests getting rescued by firefighters, after they were stranded on a “sinking” Pirates of the Caribbean ride. In a video captured by TikToker Justin (justnjames_) Disneyland visitors were seen crammed into boats, with their feet lifted up to avoid the water. “POV: You’re stuck on the pirates ride at Disneyland and your boat is literally sinking,” he wrote over the clip, which has amassed 1.7 million views. After an hour of sitting in the waterlogged boat, firefighters from the Disneyland Fire Department came to rescue the passengers from the sinking ride. They were able to help them off one-by-one using a makeshift wooden plank. “Disney fire department had to come and rescue us,” he said in the video. “After an hour of being stuck we finally got off. It was giving Six Flags energy.” Justin captioned the viral TikTok: “It was a hot mess. Honestly thought we were gonna swim our way out of this.” TikTok reacts to Pirates of the Caribbean ride sinking In the comments, TikTok users were stunned by the incident. “Love this ride but this is my biggest fear,” one user wrote. “Biggest fear is getting stuck in the huge room with the boats firing at each other,” another added. Others were amused that firefighters had passengers on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride walk a plank. “Damn full experience of pirates they even made you walk the plank,” one joked. “Not y’all having to walk the plank,” another said. One user wanted to know what the passengers received for compensation. Justin replied, “all they gave us was some $30 vouchers for socks and single lightning lanes.” This isn’t the first time a malfunctioning ride has taken TikTok by storm. Previously, a viral video captured the terrifying moment a slingshot ride snapped and crashed.

Fired University chancellor defends starting OnlyFans with wife as “free speech” X/SexyHappyCoupleFormer University of Wisconsin-La Crosse chancellor Joe Gow says his free speech was under attack after he was fired for starting an OnlyFans account with his wife. Earlier this month, University of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman announced the termination of Joe Gow after discovering OnlyFans content that he had made with his wife. “In recent days, we learned of specific conduct by Dr. Gow that has subjected the university to significant reputational harm. His actions were abhorrent,” he said in a statement. Gow and his wife run an X account called Sexy Happy Couple that features links to cooking content as well as to their explicit OnlyFans – something the ex-chancellor didn’t see a problem with. Fired university chancellor hits out after OnlyFans account backlash Speaking with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Gow explained that he felt that the UW Board of Regents would be “more understanding” when they discovered his OnlyFans content. “I thought the board, given their staunch support of free speech, would be a little more understanding. But clearly, that’s not the case,” he said, pointing to annual free speech reports and events they had hosted. “I would say that anything that I do or my wife and I do, we do as citizens in the United States, who have the freedom of the First Amendment in the Constitution, to create and publish books and videos that explore consensual adult sexuality,” he added. Gow had previously been in trouble with the university back in 2018 for inviting an adult actress to the campus for a lecture and was reportedly preparing to step down at the end of the year to take a faculty job instead. Nonetheless, Gow stands by his decision to produce the content and hit out at the board for what he claims is a load of hypocrisy. “I just think we have people on the board that say they’re for free speech, but they really aren’t. And I don’t know how they will explain this.” This is hardly the first time a school official has been fired for turning to OnlyFans. Through 2023, there have been numerous stories of teachers being sacked for joining the adult platform, including one who even filmed content inside her kindergarten.

Firefighters KO cops as NYPD vs FDNY charity hockey game ends with viral brawls TwitterNew York’s firefighters took on the NYPD in the 49th annual charity hockey game between the two services, but the match ended in chaos when multiple fights broke out. The NHL playoffs are almost here, but before the Rangers and Islanders can try to make it out of the first round, New York’s finest battled it out in their own match on the ice. The annual charity match between the NYPD and FDNY has been known to be an absolute war with the firefighters ahead in an all-time match record with a 27-18-3 in the head-to-head. Despite NYPD’s best efforts, they couldn’t put out the head that their rivals put up in the first period and fell 8-5, but before the final whistle, the gloves dropped and scores were settled. FDNY brawl with NYPD in viral charity hockey game fight With just seconds left in the game, firefighter John Peretta took on cop James Hall and it wasn’t even close. After a right hand decked the police officer, Peretta continued his onslaught with overheads. Eventually, Hall was knocked out cold on the ice with the Barstool Sports commentators even blown away by the “full-out ass-kicking” they had witnessed. To make things crazier, yet another brawl broke out soon thereafter and once again the firefighters came out on top handing out fiery haymakers like they were going out of style. Obviously, if you go to a hockey game there’s always a chance to see a fight, even in the stands between rowdy fans, but those in attendance probably weren’t prepared for the hardcore KOs they got to witness. Whether or not the NYPD can avenge their loss the next time the two public services meet up remains to be seen. And that’s not counting the hockey game they’ll still have to play as well.

Fired OnlyFans teacher says she “failed her family” & reveals true earnings Instagram/sarahjureeA former teacher who was fired from her job after her OnlyFans content was leaked says she “failed her family” and isn’t making enough from the adult site. Back in June of 2022, 41-year-old school teacher Sarah Juree was fired after her boss, who she says convinced her to join OnlyFans, found out about her account. It’s been all downhill since then. Juree infamously raised $0 to fight what she called an unfair firing after being sacked over a leaked photo and joining OnlyFans in hopes of breaking out of a “poverty cycle.” However, while her story of being fired helped her at first, she since struggled to earn money on the platform and warns others that joining OnlyFans may not be all it’s cracked up to be. Former teacher warns OnlyFans creators after losing her job In an interview with Yahoo, Juree explained that her life has taken an unfortunate turn and feels that thanks to OnlyFans, she has failed those closest to her. “Men created the entire market for OnlyFans. They subscribe, send you pictures and messages, but it’s only women who are shamed and lose their jobs,” she said. Like Juree, many other teachers have been sacked due to their OF content. According to Sarah, she’s currently stuck, warning that those who make a fortune on OnlyFans are existing influencers such as Amouranth with massive followings already. “I got just enough media attention to ruin my life but not enough to help me actually benefit from the situation. You read all of these stories about women making fortunes, but they’re already famous or have a large following on social media,” the model explained. “I think being a single mom ruined my life. If I couldn’t support my family with my college degree, then I’ve failed my family. I wanted OnlyFans to be my savior but it didn’t pan out like that. It’s been hard on my mental health.” Juree further noted that the average model on OnlyFans only makes $150 a month, hardly enough to remotely get with her income in particular being “up and down.” The former teacher recommends anyone looking to get into OF to “stay in your power” and be careful, because the risk could be a lot bigger than the reward.

Fired Starbucks employees are exposing every drink recipe on the menu TikTok: honeyconehideoutMultiple Starbucks employees who have been fired from the popular coffee chain have gone on social media to expose every drink recipe on their menu. The wrath of Starbucks employees is nothing to be trifled with, as multiple baristas who have been fired from the coffee chain have leaked information about its menu. In a viral TikTok video, a person commented on how mad one fired employee must have been to have posted every single recipe from their drink menu. TikTokers have since reacted excitedly, as they now have insight on how to make their favorite Starbucks beverages. TikTokers are excited about knowing the recipe for Starbucks drinks Starbucks is a staple across the globe, as plenty of Java Chip Frappe and Pink Drink lovers flock to the joint for their distinctive drinks. In fact, Starbucks is so popular that they even sell their own cold brews and iced coffees in stores… but now, it looks like fans can simply make their own Starbucks coffees at home after their recipes got leaked online. Recently, scorned Starbucks employees who have been fired from the popular company have taken to social media to expose the coffee shop’s drink menu and all of its recipes. In a viral video with photos of the menu, a TikToker said to their viewers, “I don’t know what Starbucks employee you done pissed off this morning and fired, but let me tell y’all, they exposing all y’all secrets.” The photos of the leaked beverage menu include measurements, types of syrups, how much ice, and every other element of what a Starbucks drink consists of. People who saw the recipes commented on the video with excitement, as they were eager to make their favorite Starbucks drinks in their own homes. One viewer wrote, “Saving to my camera roll right now.” While another penned, “You’re doing the lord’s work!” One person even admitted to screenshotting one of the recipes from the video, saying, “Most definitely screenshotted that strawberry acai. I’m finna get some Starbucks cups and gone!” Another viewer also said that they’ve done the same thing, explaining, “I used to take every restaurant’s cookbooks when I left because y’all playing in our faces.” This isn’t the first time a Starbucks barista has relayed some of the coffee shop’s secrets. In a TikTok video back in 2022, a barista went viral for explaining how the chain’s blonde espresso has more caffeine, and the nitro cold brew is actually infused with nitrogen.

Finnish streamer drinks cleaning solution on stream after running out of beer Vinepair.comFinnish streamer Arttu ‘upi’ Pulkkinen was spotted drinking cleaning solution during a live broadcast on Twitch. It appears that the Finn was streaming Runescape, when the beer he had been drinking throughout the stream ran out. Wanting to keep drinking, but unwilling to go out and buy more, Pulkkinen left his streaming setup and reappeared moments later with a bottle of cleaning solution in his hand. “Will this give me a buzz?” asked Upi of his stream. “Will this buzz if I take some of this?” The Finn went on to jokingly compare him drinking the solution to Russians drinking extremely strong vodka, saying: “It’s real Ruski-hour right now! This is some real some Russian shit going on right now!” Pulkkinen then showed off the label of the bottle, before opening the top and drinking from it, making an expression afterwards that told fans that he may have made a mistake. According to viewers of the stream, Upi left almost immediately after drinking the product, and didn’t appear again for 15 minutes, complaining that his mouth and throat were burning, and that rather than seeking medical attention, he was going to go and sleep it off. This is unfortunately not the first time viewers of Upi’s channel have seen worrying behaviour from the YouTuber. Earlier in the year, paramedics had to enter his home after Pulkkinen was seen collapsing onto his keyboard during another livestream. The emergency service members attempted to wake him, but eventually decided that letting him sleep at home was the best course of action. Pulkkinen has yet to go live again since the incident, but we’ll keep updating the story as news becomes available.

Fire department called after customer gets trapped in Wingstop bathroom TIKTOK: allymander_20A TikToker documented her brother getting trapped inside a Wingstop bathroom, which ended with the fire department being called to the rescue. In a viral clip with 331,000 views, Allie (allymander_20) said that while her brother was using the bathroom at Wingstop, the lock became jammed and he couldn’t exit. This led to the fire department having to break him out. The TikToker said that the whole ordeal lasted 40 minutes. In the video, Allie explained to the staff that though the door appeared unlocked, the door had remained locked for some reason. “So yeah, we’re gonna probably have to call the fire department,” she said. The fire department arrived later on, and they eventually managed to pry the door open, freeing Allie’s brother. “What an eventful night, my brother was stuck for a good 40mins,” she captioned the video. “He has the worst luck.” TikTok reacts to customer stuck in Wingstop bathroom In the comments, many TikTok users questioned how such a thing was even possible. “Why do they need that level of security on their bathroom door?!” one top comment read. Allie later explained that “there’s a deadbolt on the inside that wasn’t working, and the employees said they didn’t have a key.” She also revealed that the store called the fire department, as they did not know what to do. Other users shared their own similar stories of being stuck in a public bathroom. “That happened to me, but the bathroom was really tiny. I had no phone and the worker had headphones on & couldn’t hear me banging on a metal door,” one wrote. “Got locked in a bathroom as a kid. I got lucky, a fireman was already there on break so nobody had to be called,” another shared. “Once I got stuck in the bathroom at work. It took a long time for everyone to notice, because no phones were allowed, so I didn’t have my cell with me,” a third said.

Finance & crypto TikTokers risk jail time over financial advice laws Unsplash: Elena MozhviloThe Australian Securities and Investments Commission has warned finance influencers on TikTok and Instagram that they could face jail time if they give financial advice without an appropriate license. TikTok is home to a number of different influencers, who have all kinds of different subject focuses, from makeup and fashion, to cooking, fitness, and more. There is also a large number of creators who share stock tips and other investment or financial videos to their audience, gaining thousands or even millions of views for their content. However, where viewers’ finances are concerned, there are some legal considerations too. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is now warning those content creators that they could face up to five years in jail if they give financial advice without a license. In an information sheet issued in March 2022, the ASIC said: “When you discuss financial products and services online or promote affiliate links, make sure you understand your legal obligations.” This included that: “You are providing financial product advice or arranging for your followers to deal in a financial product. If you carry on a business of providing financial services, you must hold an AFS license [Australian Financial Services Licence]” They added that your content needs to be “accurate and balanced” and said that, “if your online post is misleading, you may be breaking the law.” They also listed a series of case studies that explored what exactly constitutes financial advice under Australian law, and also what is considered misleading information. President Biden signs executive order While these regulations are focused on Australia, there are indications that ‘finfluencers’ around the world, including the U.S., could soon face similar risks. Earlier in March, in response to the “explosive growth” of cryptocurrencies in recent years, President Biden signed a new executive order that is a “whole-of-government approach to addressing the risks and harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology.” @POTUS‘s Order calls for measures to: -Protect consumers, investors, & businesses -Protect U.S. & global financial stability -Mitigate illicit finance -Promote equitable access -Support responsible innovation -Explore a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency And more.— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 9, 2022 In their statement, they also explained: “The rise in digital assets creates an opportunity to reinforce American leadership in the global financial system and at the technological frontier, but also has substantial implications for consumer protection, financial stability, national security, and climate risk.” One of the big concerns around financial influencers, and even just influencers broadly, is the risk of ‘pump and dump’ schemes. This is most often a problem with cryptocurrency, where an influencer encourages fans to buy a certain crypto coin or asset, only for the value of it to plummet once early adopters sell. It’s not clear what this crackdown will have on finance content creators online in the long run, but it looks like restrictions are only set to get tighter in the future.

Twitch streamer MikeyPerk confirms missing daughter Sarah finally found Twitter, @mikeyperkStreamer MikeyPerk confirmed via Twitter that his daughter Sarah has been found, after thousands of people got the hashtag #FINDSARAH trending to help spread the word of her disappearance and look for leads. On June 25, MikeyPerk’s daughter Sarah snuck out of their home to go to a hotel party with older friends. Two days later, the Twitch streamer and multiple Ohio police departments were still unable to find her. In posts on Twitter and YouTube, MikeyPerk explained that Sarah’s phone appeared to be dead, her friends seemed unaware of where she was, and that the local police had found no leads.

Sarah, a brown-haired teenager, was apparently being looked for by “many Ohio police departments” but they had yet to find her. He added further details on YouTube, adding more physical traits to help identify her if people end up in contact with her (as well as possible locations). MikeyPerk gives an update On June 28, Mikey uploaded a video to YouTube in which he updated fans on the situation. He explained that they’d gotten a ton of leads, but they all ultimately lead to dead-ends. He added that he’s driven around his town and neighboring towns for hours, but had yet to find his daughter.

Mikey confirms Sarah’s return Everyone breathed a sigh of relief on July 2 when Mikey updated his Twitter followers with the news that Sarah has been found. He explained: “The tippers noticed her from the flyers I put out and guess what… TWITTER!!!

Filian hopes first VTuber Awards can truly “spotlight” all virtual creators FilianVTubing’s first major award show is coming in December, with the VTuber Awards 2023 hosted by Filian in partnership with Mythic being revealed over the weekend. The organizers hope the virtual medium’s ‘night of nights’ can cover the “wide scope of VTubers” out there — regardless of size or language. VTuber recognition in the broader streaming space has been few and far between. Despite the medium’s meteoric rise in the last three years, virtual stars have oft-been a footnote of award shows like The Streamer Awards and The Streamys. While there have been two semi-notable wins — Hyakumantenbara Salome’s big one at the YouTube Japan Awards, as well as Vexoria the Sun Eater’s nod at thegameHERs for Charity Streamer of the Year — VTubers are typically relegated to their own small section. The tides are changing in 2023 though with the first major industry-wide award show, aptly named the VTuber Awards, led by Filian and newly-formed agency Mythic Talent. Announced on May 30, the show was spruiked as being one “for all VTubers,” and that’s a dream Filian hopes to put into practice. “The goal is to cover a wide scope of VTubers,” she told Dexerto. “There will be categories for small creators and large creators, like Rising Star versus VTuber of the Year-esque awards. “We’re also considering how best to organize the awards for English, Japanese, and other languages, as well as corporate versus independent. “Since it’s the first time we’re doing the awards, the goal is to make it a celebration of VTubers and how it all got started, talking about the history of VTubers including those who came before me because they paved the way and gave me the chance to do this.” The award show has been in the works for “a few months now”, with Filian wanting to use her platform to give VTubers the recognition traditional award shows for streaming haven’t quite achieved. “It’s a very diverse medium, a lot of VTubers create a ton of really cool content, and there’s a ton of different categories out there that us VTubers have cemented ourselves in,” she continued. “There’s a lot more to VTubers out there in terms of the different categories and niches, so I wanted to spotlight it.” Filian’s show, while the first announced, isn’t without competition. A number of other VTubers have also showcased their own plans for awards shows in Filian’s wake. Takahata101 revealed he was going to launch his own in August, while VShojo star Ironmouse was also toying with the idea. An award show isn’t a unique concept by any stretch. However the increased interest in VTubing over the last few years has arguably hit critical mass, and there’s no time like now to highlight the work of the innovative virtual creators. Filian and Mythic are promising a “large scale” event with all the bells and whistles. Red carpet interviews in the preshow, a laundry list of categories to celebrate, and even “partnering with other [agencies] to show off cool VTuber technology, debut teasers, and performances in general.” Mythic have invested heavily in VTubers since their inception as a talent agency, sweeping up a number of top indie names in the English-speaking space. Filian herself joined the agency at the start of May. “We knew Filian had big goals and ideas she wanted to achieve,” Mythic Talent CEO William Lucas told Dexerto. “Filian and Mythic share the same goal of shining a spotlight on VTubers and helping the VTuber sphere as a whole grow. “Award shows have always been popular and they recognize talented figures for their achievements and successes in interesting ways. They spark competition in a way as well which keeps the industry growing and innovative. “We want to help Filian and the wider VTuber community expand on the different aspects of VTubing and who is really leading the charge across all facets of the category.” While this has raised some initial community concern about bias and conflict of interests in the awards, the organizers have promised “no bias at all”, as well as continuous improvement if this year’s show misses the mark. “There’s a lot out there, so the goal is to bring as many VTubers together as possible,” Filian stated. “If we can’t include a group this time around, we hope the show will speak for itself next year.” If the last few years were VTubing’s boom years with rapid growth, the locking in of major award shows like Filian’s VTuber Awards shows a consolidation of the space. It’s not just a fad, and there’s a lot of weight on the shoulders of the people trying to shine a spotlight on its special creators. Details are still scarce in the lead-up to December’s big show, with both Filian and Lucas remaining tight-lipped for now. But there’s a shared sentiment between the two on their hopes for VTubing’s first ‘night of nights’. “This will be a show the entire VTubing community can be proud of, and one no one will ever forget.”

Final episodes of Shane Dawson’s Jake Paul docuseries to end in ‘two-part finale’ Shane Dawson – TwitterYouTuber Shane Dawson’s documentary series over controversial social media star Jake Paul is coming to an end, and its final episodes have been officially scheduled. Dawson revealed the schedule in a Tweet on October 14, which stated that a two-part finale for the series would be released on Tuesday, October 16, and Thursday, October 18. This marks a major change from his original schedule of Monday/Wednesday/Friday (which he admittedly hasn’t been incredibly stringent with). He also released a set of stills from the unreleased episodes, which appear to feature interviews with Alissa Violet and Jake Paul, as well a photo of Shane facetiming with Drama Alert host KEEMSTAR. “The Mind of Jake Paul” 2 Part Finale Tue 10.16 & Thur 10.18 pic.twitter.com/o0fV1MQPUt— Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) October 14, 2018 The series’ seventh and eighth episodes are set to showcase in-depth interviews with Jake Paul and his ex-girlfriend, Alissa Violet. While Paul admitted that discussing his turbulent relationship with Violet was the ‘most terrifying’ part of the project, he has since stated that he is open to hearing her side of the story, and wants the truth to be told – even if the consequences are major.

The series continues to top YouTube’s trending videos with each release, and has even surpassed major Netflix shows in terms of viewership.

Fighting expert highlights Logan Paul’s “glaring” flaw in boxing technique Instagram: Logan PaulA boxing and MMA expert has analyzed Logan Paul’s technique from his training videos and pointed out a “glaring” flaw that may seriously hurt his chances of beating Floyd Mayweather. Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather are due to fight on June 6 and the lead-up to the huge match in which a YouTuber with zero wins to his name attempts to knock out a 50-0 champion has been dramatic, to say the least. At the press conference on May 6, Jake Paul started beef with his brother’s opponent, stealing his hat and creating a scuffle. In the aftermath, strong words were exchanged between the two and Jake has continued to try to mess with Floyd by crashing his Clubhouse appearance. Meanwhile, Logan Paul has some seriously strong confidence. He previously claimed that he is certain to beat Mayweather: “I’m taller, I’m bigger, I’m hungrier, I’m faster, I’m stronger… yeah I just said I’m faster than Floyd Mayweather, I am, I’m the fastest planet let’s not forget… He’s had a great legacy all good things must come to an end.” However, perhaps that confidence is unjustified, as the presenter from RoundHouse Radio, a channel that covers all things MMA and boxing, was disappointed with Logan’s skills. The presenter began quite positively, adding that Logan looked fast and strong and that he punched “from the socket,” not holding back and putting his whole strength into it. On the other hand, the presenter was not impressed with the way Logan always held his hands and arms low down instead of covering and protecting his face, adding: “You can do whatever you want with your punches but at the end of the day if you’re not training yourself to bring your hands up… it’s too late it’s ingrained in him, he’s gonna have his hands down forever.” The presenter also criticized Logan’s slip technique, noting how he didn’t move his feet but only moved his torso to dodge any attacks. “This is genuinely some of the worst head movement drills I’ve ever seen…that’s like boxing 101: you don’t bend your hips down.” Read More: Jake Paul has made $20m from boxing – “He’s a much better role model than his brother but I just wish that he would just fix that glaring gap,” he said, before explaining that these were errors Logan had not fixed from his previous fight, concluding “I genuinely just don’t see how it could possibly go well for him.” With very little time left to go, it’s unlikely Logan will be able to improve on this before the big day.

Fighting game fans unimpressed by new NFT apes title Capcom / Twitter, NiftyApeNationNFT apes are apparently coming to the fighting game world and, after seeing a short clip of the gameplay, people don’t seem very thrilled. In fact, backlash was heavy enough to get a tweet about the game deleted. The fighting game and NFT communities are quite different. The former has existed for a long time and requires user-controlled hardware at its highest levels. The latter is relatively new and exists in the digital world of the blockchain. But there is one very obvious point of similarity between so-called ‘NFT bros’ and the fighting game community: Pure passion. On December 29, those worlds combined and their shared, albeit conflicting passions, lit a fire. An NFT ape project, “NiftyApeNation,” excitedly showcased their “Ape Island” video game… and the FGC immediately, enthusiastically, flamed it into the ground. NFT apes turned into fighting game Welcome to Ape Island. Did you know we will break the #Guinnessbookofworldrecords once we as a community mint 888 of our NAN NFTs?!? We will have the most unique characters in a fighting game and your NFT will be some of them! https://t.co/8cX9klVCEv pic.twitter.com/lmaY54qvPA — NiftyApeNation (@NiftyApeNation) December 21, 2021 While the December 29 tweet was deleted due to the unideal reception it received, you can still see a clip of “Ape Island” gameplay above. As you can observe, it’s exactly what it sounds like: NFT apes of various appearances fighting each other. The game’s makers were excited to show off their project, its “WallStreetBets” background scenery, and Guinness Book of World Records aspirations. But, when fighting game enthusiasts caught wind of it in a follow-up tweet a week later, things took a turn for the worse. Fighting game community shames NFT ape video game my man didnt buy a good enough hitbox pic.twitter.com/NKsPLhYmUA — jonny (@ABritishPanfish) December 29, 2021 Most of the FGC’s responses came with a relatively humorous tone, poking fun at the game’s rudimentary “hit boxes” and other mechanics. But some were… less jovial. One user’s reaction to seeing the game was quite colorful: “Nobody should know that it exists and I take great pity on the poor children who do find it.” Perhaps to their delight then, the newest tweet showing off gameplay is erased from the internet. But the replies to it are not, as embedded above, and boy are they plentiful. It remains to be seen if the devs will take these responses as constructive criticisms to help improve the project’s mechanics.

Fight at Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau’s wedding might have actually been staged The August 12 episode of YouTube star Tana Mongeau‘s hit MTV show ‘Tana Turns 21’ might have revealed that the ‘fight’ that occurred during her wedding to Jake Paul was actually staged. Tana and Jake got married on July 28 in a lavish ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada, just a month after the Team 10 owner proposed to the YouTube starlet on June 24 during her 21st birthday celebrations. During the wedding, a fight broke out after someone threw a drink over the couple just as they were about to exchange their first kiss as husband and wife. On August 12, episode six of Tana’s MTV show might have revealed that the brawl was actually staged. Tana insists she’s not lying about anything Earlier in the episode, Tana was preparing for VidCon 2019 with her long-time manager Jordan Worona, and he asked her potential questions that could have come up during the event. While the first set of questions were about TanaCon, they soon shifted to her whirlwind romance with then-fiance Jake Paul. “A lot of people think you’re lying about your relationship with Jake. How do you think that makes your fans feel?” Worona asked. “Obviously we’re playing into the clout factor,” the YouTube starlet admitted. “But like, true fans know that we’re not lying about anything.” (Timestamp of 3:05 for mobile viewers.) 600The fight could have been staged While episode six of ‘Tana Turns 21’ wasn’t about the wedding, the preview for seven might have hinted at the possibility of the fight at event being staged. The look at the next chapter of the show shows the YouTube star as she gets ready for her big day with makeup, hair and nail makeovers, before it moves on to the actual ceremony itself. “Yo, I heard there might be a fake fight, by the way,” a voiceover says – is this confirmation that the fight was staged? (Timestamp of 21:46 for mobile viewers.) Hopefully episode seven of the MTV YouTube show will clear up the speculation once and for all.

Fight breaks out at Drake concert over fan’s sign blocking view of $700 seats TikTok/WikiMedia: The Come Up ShowA woman has felt the wrath of the internet after taking a sign to a Drake concert and obstructing the view of people behind her who had paid $700 to be there. Going to a concert these days can be a pretty interesting experience. Many concert goers are there to enjoy their favorite band or artists by living in the moment, but there are plenty who want to make it all about themselves. In recent weeks, there have been plenty of viral videos from concerts with people screaming during quiet parts of Beyonce’s mega shows and one fan getting onstage at a Drake show. Drake concerts seem to be a hub for viral clips, though, as a woman has gotten berated by the internet after she took a sign to a section where tickets cost $700 and obstructed the view of people there – leading to a scuffle breaking out. Fight breaks out at Drake concert after woman holds sign up The clip was originally uploaded to TikTok by niyiajahne, but was deleted shortly. However, TikToker Alexis Nicole managed to reupload it, showing those who might have missed the first time around what had happened. She, herself, called the woman “rude” for taking a sign. In the short clip, which has racked up over 1.2 million views, a woman can be seen holding her bright yellow sign aloft while everyone else around her are taking in the show. After a few moments, another woman behind her rips the sign out of her hands, taking the view back. That led to a scuffle between a few women as the sign was passed backwards, away from its original holder. As noted, TikTokers have rounded criticized the woman for taking a sign. “Like how old are you to have signs at concerts,” said one viewer. “I’d be mad even if I get free tickets,” another added. “as if he’d be able to see it from where they’re sat,” commented another. Some viewers did question if the other women had asked her to kindly put the sign down, but who knows at this point.

Fight erupts after TikToker cuts in line of 40-minute queue for a drink TikTok: des.selfIn a viral TikTok, an influencer was called out after cutting in line during the Nashville Ball for drinks, where the customers were supposedly waiting for over 40 minutes. The confrontation resulted in a physical fight between two women. Fights and confrontations posted on TikTok tend to go viral, as people love watching drama that they’re not directly involved in. And on January 3, a TikTok user recorded such an instance while watching from the sidelines. The camera person watched from afar, while an alleged influencer cut straight ahead in line, where customers were waiting for over 40 minutes to buy drinks. Another woman saw the person cut, and confronted the influencer, who she believed to be incredibly rude. The woman who cut in line began filming the other, attempting to create content out of the situation. But this move backfired, after she yelled out “I am obnoxiously beautiful, you ugly f**king b**ch. I will beat you the f**k up,” and continued to mock the other woman. At this point, the crowd was very clearly against the influencer, and the woman confronting the TikToker, who supposedly boasted about having over 70,000 followers, yanked at the influencer’s hair. The TikToker throws her beer out of frustration, ironically wasting the very product she cut in line for. After being physically confronted for her insincere actions and empty threats, the Tiktoker flees the scene with her friends. Those watching the video clearly enjoyed the small altercation. “I wouldn’t have minded waiting hours for a drink if our line was this entertaining,” one user commented. “This was so satisfying. I’m glad she wasted her beer she cut in line for by throwing it,” another added.

Fight at Jake Paul & Tana Mongeau’s wedding proven to be staged Instagram: @tanamongeau / PixabayThere has been much speculation floating around the internet since the infamous fist fight broke out at YouTube couple Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul‘s wedding on July 28, and it seems like it was finally proven to be staged on August 19. The YouTube duo wed in a lavish ceremony on July 28 after the Team 10 owner proposed to Tana during her 21st birthday celebrations in Las Vegas. Unfortunately for the couple, a fist fight broke out at the wedding during their first kiss as husband and wife. Many speculated that the brawl was fake, and now we might actually have an answer. Was the fight at Tana & Jake’s wedding staged? It was first thought that the fight could have been staged after a next episode preview for the YouTube starlet’s MTV show ‘Tana Turns 21’ on August 12 hinted at the possibility. “Yo, I heard there might be a fake fight, by the way,” the voiceover stated when the preview glossed over events happening in episode seven. (Timestamp of 21:46 for mobile viewers.) Episode seven of the show aired on August 19 and cleared up the rumors once and for all. In the video, Jake and Tana are standing at the altar about to share their first kiss as husband and wife when a drink is thrown over the couple. The YouTube starlet’s best friend Ashley Schwan then cuts in with a voiceover. “I see this drink being thrown at Jake and Tana, and I literally don’t know what’s going on, like, I’m still clapping and cheering for them to have their first kiss.” Manager Jordan Worona was also clueless about the fight, and said: “I have no idea what is going on, it’s just a bunch of people pushing each other. Then immediately I thought maybe this is planned. It’s kind of like what Jake does though, you know, a lot of his content is built on shock factor and stuff like that.” He continued, and said that he wasn’t happy about a drink being thrown over the bride. “So creating some sort of diversion or story is totally cool, but um, pouring a glass of champagne on the bride is not cool. Probably not the best way to start a marriage.” (Timestamp of 23:52 for mobile viewers.) Tana wasn’t happy about the fight Tana uploaded the couple’s wedding vlog on August 19, which provided behind-the-scenes insight into the brawl at the event. In a voiceover just after the part where the duo wed, she stated sarcastically: “Instead of going straight to the wedding reception, I had to run to the bathroom that I just spent eight hours getting ready in to wash the champagne out of my hair and put it in this ugly-ass updo and tried to redo three hours worth of makeup in five minutes which was totally so much fun and something I wanted to do right after getting married.” The video then played a clip from the YouTuber just after she entered the bathroom. “Someone just threw a glass of champagne at Jake and I at the altar, at my wedding dress… champagne all in my hair.” (Timestamp of 51:20 for mobile viewers.) Tana and Jake were first rumored to be dating back in April when the Team 10 owner called the YouTuber ‘cute’ in a vlog, with their relationship moving swiftly ever since.

Fight breaks out at Misfits 006 after Chase DeMoor KO’s Stevie Knight DAZNA fight broke out during the Misfits 006 influencer-boxing event after Chase DeMoor knocked out opponent Stevie Knight — but kept hitting him while he was down. The craze around influencer boxing is at an all-time high, with events like Creator Clash and stars like Jake Paul and KSI firmly putting the trend on the map. While many YouTubers, TikTokers, and streamers alike have taken a shine to the ‘sweet sport’ of boxing, sometimes these bouts can create more beef instead of squashing longtime feuds… and that’s exactly what happened on April 21 at Misfits 006. Misfits 006 is the sixth influencer-boxing event between KSI’s Misfits Boxing and DAZN, a subscription-based combat sports streaming service. This fight sees a main bout between JMX vs Le’Veon Bell, as well as a female influencer fight. The event kicked off that evening in New Orleans and saw a slew of unique matchups — but it’s the fight between football player Chase DeMoor and YouTuber Stevie Knight that’s got everyone talking. Chase DeMoor disqualified for punching a downed Stevie Knight Their match didn’t last long. DeMoor knocked out his opponent cold in the very first round, sending him sprawling into the ropes and onto the canvas. However, he didn’t stop his punches and continued to pummel Knight even after he was downed. As a result, a brawl broke out in the middle of the ring, with members from both teams’ camps rushing into the battleground to defend their man. It doesn’t look like DeMoor is walking away with a dub, either. The football player has been officially disqualified from the event, as per DAZN, and critics are calling for him to be banned from further boxing competitions. This isn’t the first time a scuffle has broken out at an influencer-boxing event. Most notably, Jake Paul caused quite a stir after snatching Floyd Mayweather’s hat right off his head at a press conference for his 2021 exhibition match against his big bro Logan Paul.

Fight breaks out on Adam22’s No Jumper podcast between Almighty Suspect & Lil Kelpy No JumperA fistfight broke out during an interview on social media star Adam22’s No Jumper podcast between guests Suspect and Kelpy after the two got into a heated argument. Interviews can get heated on Adam22‘s No Jumper podcast, but it’s not often they break out in a fistfight on camera. During a recent episode of the No Jumper podcast including Adam, rapper Almighty Suspect, and Lil Kelpy, things got quite heated between the guests. After a considerable amount of insults were thrown at each other, Suspect triggered a fight after spitting in Kelpy’s face, and reigning blows upon him. No Jumper podcast interview turns into fistfight On November 23, No Jumper posted the three-way interview which didn’t even last ten minutes. During the video, Suspect took offense to Kelpy’s outfit in their previous interview where the 19-year-old wore a pimp black fur coat, likening wearing it to blackface, even calling it a “costume.” Kelpy took offense to his comments, and the pair grew increasingly loud and frustrated with each other. Suspect grew increasingly agitated and rose from his seat, spit on Kelpy, and began punching the teenager in his face landing multiple blows. Security at the No Jumper studio instantly moved in to break up the fight, with Adam moving slowly in afterward to attempt to curtail the brawl. The video has gone massively viral on social media, with over 200,000 likes on Twitter and over 1.5 million views on YouTube in just one day after being posted.

Final Fantasy XIV and Second Life players flame Metaverse wedding While Mark Zuckerberg believes the Metaverse is the “next chapter of the internet,” gamers don’t think it’s anything special. Thus, it wasn’t long before FFXIV, Second Life, and other MMORPG fans gathered to slam a lackluster Metaverse wedding. Traci and SuperDave Gagnon held a hybrid wedding in November of this year that took place both inside the Metaverse and at a venue IRL. Although it was the first Metaverse wedding, it went mostly unnoticed until it was covered by The New York Times. While the Gagnon’s were married at a venue in front of their family and friends, those who couldn’t attend IRL could enjoy the ceremony via the Metaverse. The Metaverse had a live stream of their nuptials behind digital versions of Traci and SuperDavid, and even the pastor and members of the bridal party were present in avatar form. The virtual event spanned nearly five hours, all of which can be viewed on YouTube. During this time, Travi and SuperDave’s avatars performed multiple dance routines, a man with a large white cowboy hat obstructed the camera for an extended period of time, and large murals of the digital couple stared menacingly at the crowd. Gamers mock Metaverse wedding While the whole charade was quite comical, gamers on Twitter didn’t seem to appreciate how the wedding was presented. Numerous players from Final Fantasy XIV, Second Life, World of Warcraft, and other MMOs were upset claiming virtual weddings have been taking place for decades. Some even used family-friendly games such as Minecraft and Animal Crossing as examples of virtual spaces where weddings have taken place. Numerous users claimed they attended virtual weddings spanning back to 1996. However, there were also gamers who were disappointed with how the Metaverse wedding looked. Graphically, the Metaverse looks about as good as a PlayStation 1 game. This lead to a number of users sharing screenshots from virtual ceremonies they attended in Final Fantasy and Second Life. Below are a few examples of the hundreds of responses to the Metaverse wedding. This has been possible in online video games for 20+ years without the need for a metaverse. — Ryan T. Brown 🎮🩷 (@Toadsanime) December 8, 2021 https://twitter.com/WardenMop/status/1468647945159561219 My wife and I got married in Animal Crossing, where’s our article??? pic.twitter.com/uczpfccwDQ — Nintendette (@nintendette_) December 8, 2021 People get married all the time in FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE, Second Life, World of WarCraft, The Elder Scrolls Online, Minecraft… They used to get married all the time in FINAL FANTASY XI ONLINE, EverQuest and even Ultima Online. Metaverse invented nothing. https://t.co/PRFqWIFyuk — Lesbiandrea • Surgery Hell (@FeoUltima) December 8, 2021 It’s important to note that a wedding that takes place completely within a virtual space isn’t seen as a legal marriage. So, while Traci and SuperDave did have a virtual ceremony, it was their IRL vows that legally bound them. Sadly, this means that your cat-eared husband or frog princess wife isn’t legally your spouse. But it’s the real emotional connections players make that connect them. That’s also why a virtual ceremony in a familiar MMO may be more meaningful than an IRL event.

Fight breaks out at Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau’s wedding Instagram: tanamongeau / unsplashA fight allegedly broke out during Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau‘s Las Vegas wedding on July 28 – right as they were standing at the altar. Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau’s wedding finally went ahead on July 28, after the Team 10 owner proposed to the YouTube starlet during her 21st birthday celebrations in a Las Vegas nightclub. While many criticized the pair for getting married so early on in their blossoming relationship and questioned the validity of their union, the wedding actually went ahead. Unfortunately, a fight broke out right as they were having their first kiss as husband and wife. A fight broke out during Jake and Tana’s wedding Rumors of the fight first started swirling on social media after viewers who paid $49.99 to watch the star-studded event allegedly witnessed a fight break out during Jake and Tana’s ceremony. It was then confirmed by former-Vine star Andrew ‘King Bach’ Bachelor after he posted a clip of the brawl on his Instagram story, captioned: “Fight fight fight” The altercation was then confirmed by Tana herself on Twitter, who tweeted: “Someone just threw a glass of champagne at jake and I at the fucking altar holy fuck HAAHAHAHAHAHA.” She also confirmed the couple’s marriage had officially taken place: “jana don’t need no press. wow. just married. honestly made it better…. to slow dance while they scream. i love you @jakepaul ….. hello tana paul!” Someone just threw a glass of champagne at jake and I at the fucking altar holy fuck HAAHAHAHAHAHA. jana don’t need no press. wow. just married. honestly made it better…. to slow dance while they scream. i love you @jakepaul ….. hello tana paul! — TANA TURNS 21 ON MTV OUT NOW (@tanamongeau) July 29, 2019 Who was fighting? Tana’s long-time manager Jordan Worona spoke exclusively to Life & Style Mag shortly after the drama ended, and explained exactly what happened in more detail. He revealed that the Team 10’s Arman ‘Armani’ Izadi started the fight after somebody threw a glass of champagne at Jake’s head right after the duo’s first kiss as a married couple. The other person involved is currently unknown. “It was Armani, like the officiant, just punched people in the head cause they poured champagne on Tana and Jake.” Read More: Eugenia Cooney addresses health concerns – An anonymous eyewitness also spoke to the magazine about what happened: “At first it looked like Jake blew off the kiss, because it happened right before. He had to move as the champagne was being poured, and then the punching.” “It was an all-out brawl, mass chaos for two and a half minutes,” the witness continued. “So much so that we couldn’t see anything. It got pushed out like a mosh pit. People were on chairs trying to take pictures, and had to jump out of the way as it got bigger. There was glass broken, chairs everywhere.” Breaking News Fight Breaks Out at @JakePaul and @tanamongeau wedding in Las Vegas! pic.twitter.com/PvcRo9GTMs — Sheeraz Hasan (@sheerazhasan) July 29, 2019 Producer Sheeraz Hasan tweeted a detailed video of the altercation with the caption “Breaking News Fight Breaks Out at @JakePaul and @tanamongeau wedding in Las Vegas!” While the fight may have interrupted Jake and Tana’s first kiss after being officially married, they eventually headed back to the altar and successfully locked lips after the drama was resolved.

Fight breaks out at Barbie movie as women trade blows in theater TikTok: ferreiraxyz._A fight between two women broke out near the end of a Barbie screening at a theater in Brazil, supposedly after a mom let her child watch YouTube during the film. It’s been a seriously successful week for the Barbie movie, which grossed a total $377 million on opening weekend as folks flocked to theaters worldwide to witness Greta Gerwig’s ingeniously marketed Mattel-inspired flick. Despite the movie’s positive messaging and bright pink coloration, the film has sparked quite a debate online regarding its take on masculinity and feminism, with the likes of commentator Ben Shapiro even burning Barbie dolls in protest of the movie. On top of this ongoing debate, the film seems to have sparked a real-world fight, as well, after two moviegoers traded blows in a theater following a screening in Brazil. Moviegoers clash at Barbie screening after mom lets kid watch YouTube on full volume A clip from the brawl is going viral on social media, showing a group of moviegoers engaged in a heated conversation as the credits for the Barbie movie roll down the silver screen in a theater in Brazil. Suddenly, a woman marches up the steps in the aisle and gives another woman a ferocious shove, sending her flying into the seats behind her. A man could then be seen attempting to separate the two ladies as they continue to scrap, but the confrontation died down soon afterward. According to Portuguese-speaking commenters who translated the argument, the altercation allegedly started after a woman allowed her child to watch YouTube on “max volume” throughout the movie. Netizens were quick to offer their two cents on the situation, with many calling for better theater etiquette during films. “People should really understand that watching mobile during a movie that you paid to watch can cause [a] disturbance and divert attention, so that is why it is always advised to switch it off or keep it on silent,” one user wrote on Twitter.

FextraLife under fire by streamers for “stealing views” Larian StudiosSeveral streamers accused FextraLife of using bots on Reddit to downvote posts and unethically boost its channel’s Twitch viewership. If you regularly browse Twitch channels when a new game comes out, you are probably familiar with FextraLife. Alongside a website mostly known for its RPG game guides and other news articles, the company hosts a community streaming channel on Twitch. With over 1.6 million followers, FextraLife is one of the most popular Twitch channels. However, in 2021, Ludwig called out the company for “stealing views.” While talking about New World, Ludwig claimed there was something fishy about the channel having almost 60k viewers but not many people talking in chat. Ludwig used the ‘/chatters’ command on the communities channel to reveal that only half of the view count was active in chat. It turned out that FextraLife used a controversial strategy to get more viewers, and Baldurs Gate 3 brought that practice back into the spotlight. FextraLife called out for “shady practices” on Reddit and Twitch A Reddit post claims that FextraLife will likely be blacklisted from the Baldurs Gate 3 community discussion page for keeping its posts as the most popular by using bots to downvote any competition. Moistcr1tikal called out the FextraLife owner for claiming not to know what Reddit bots are in their response to the allegations. “It’s totally fine to defend yourself against the accusations and point out logical inconsistencies, but why tell a bald-faced lie like that in your defense?” FextraLife is also under fire for embedding its stream on its wiki website. When someone is reading an article, they also count as a viewer because the stream is live in a small corner at the top of the page. Using a Quin69 clip as evidence, Moistcr1tikal showed there were 23,000 viewers on FextraLife when the channel was offline. And the YouTuber doesn’t have faith in Twitch resolving the issue. “This only helps Twitch. These big numbers are fantastic for them. Twitch has no incentive to shut that down.” Even though Twitch benefits from large viewership numbers, Moistcr1tikal argued: “This isn’t good for other streamers. It takes those spots away from streamers who deserve it more and who actually do have communities.” Other community members share a similar sentiment. Asmongold acknowledged the issue and responded: “They (FextraLife) take up a directory slot from somebody who should be there. But they (Twitch) don’t care because they are making money from it.” Twitch streamer Gothalion called out the practice and claimed: “I’ve had so many broadcasters reach out and say they quit streaming the game because seeing embedders in the top slots killed their drive.” So, although FextraLife is not violating any Twitch guidelines, streamers demand more support for content creators who don’t engage in embedding practices.

FFXIV players hit out at ‘double standards’ after Asmongold stream snipers are banned Asmongold/Square EnixTwitch streamer Asmongold has only been playing Final Fantasy XIV Online for a few days on stream, but he already seems to be having a better time with stream snipers than he ever did with World of Warcraft. Thing is, not everyone’s happy about the special treatment from devs. Asmongold is, without a doubt, one of the biggest MMO streamers on Twitch, and has made waves in recent days after switching his attention to Final Fantasy XIV Online — what many see as a direct competitor to his old standby, World of Warcraft. His journey from Azeroth to Hydaelyn has already been plenty eventful, to say the least. Asmon raked in over $30K in one stream playing the game, and even got called an “a**hole” by an actual Blizzard employee shortly after making the move. Now, Square Enix seems to be trying to one-up the WoW devs again by actually banning people who are stream sniping, a perk that — based on other FFXIV players and streamers — seems to be exclusive. Looks like Square Enix is actually banning the clowns who spent literally hours running after me and streamsniping me Fucking awesome. It’s incredible how easy of a problem this is to solve when a company actually careshttps://t.co/RYs6gQ4bvF — Zack (@Asmongold) July 5, 2021 “Looks like Square Enix is actually banning the clowns who spent literally hours running after me and streamsniping me. F***ing awesome,” the streamer wrote on Twitter. “It’s incredible how easy of a problem this is to solve when a company actually cares.” It’s easy to understand why Asmon would be so hyped about this, as Blizzard wasn’t exactly known for taking care of people who’s only quest objective seemed to be to get in the way and disrupt his gameplay as much as possible. Swedish streamer AnnieFuchsia, shared the same post from Asmon’s subreddit. I remember getting streamsniped, getting griefed, getting clipped on stream with titles such as “”haha rekt”” when the same people killed and harassed me daily when I was trying to level on a pvp server “”It’s part of the game”” is what I was told — AnnieFuchsia (@anniefuchsia) July 5, 2021 “I remember getting streamsniped, getting griefed, getting clipped on stream with titles such as ‘haha rekt’ when the same people killed and harassed me daily when I was trying to level on a pvp server,” Annie wrote. “It’s part of the game” is what I was told.” Annie later clarified that her comments were directed at Blizzard, not Square Enix. It seems a lot of people misunderstood this tweet, sorry about that My point was that Blizzard doesn’t do anything against streamsnipers, whereas Square Enix seems to take action — AnnieFuchsia (@anniefuchsia) July 5, 2021 FFXIV has been one of the top games on Twitch since Asmongold started playing. Whether or not FFXIV devs will start cracking down on stream snipers across the board, though, remains to be seen.

Female MMA fighter utterly destroys Mizkif in gym Twitch stream Twitch/MizkifTwitch star Mizkif’s first day opening up his Iron Forge gym was a wild affair after he took on a female MMA fighter and got his ass handed to him. Mizkif and Knut opened up their new gym on January 17, but things got off to a rocky start in some places. In addition to bodybuilder Knut injuring himself using workout equipment, the OTK streamer got owned in a sparring session. We’ve seen quite a few spars streamed recently, with KSI and IShowSpeed’s match drawing quite a few eyes, showing there are quite a lot of people interested in seeing non-official bouts. During the broadcast, Mizkif wanted to see what MMA fighter Julia Watkins was capable of – but got more than he bargained for when she unleashed a flurry of punches and a snappy counter. Mizkif gets revenge after female MMA fighter owns him After Julia landed a few body blows comboed with a headshot to Mizkif pushing him back, she followed it up with a body kick that was caught by the streamer. Unfortunately, this played right into his opponent’s hand, as she spun around and nailed him with a spinning back fist before walking away with a wide grin on her face. “That was beautiful!” the crowd cheered off-screen as Miz held his head in pain and Julia gave him a pat on the back. Not deterred, Mizkif wanted another go and challenged Watkins to a wrestling match, confident that he’d be able to beat her on the mat. At first, Julia showed her take-down defense, but it wasn’t long until Mizkif’s weight advantage seemed to really play a factor. “This motherf**ker’s heavy!” the MMA fighter screamed as she attempted a submission, but couldn’t get the move locked in tight enough. Eventually, the Miz was able to overpower her, forcing Julia to tap out despite a good effort – but even though he may have won in the wrestling match, he was exhausted, while Watkins still seemed rather fresh. Needless to say, though, if this is the type of gym content Mizkif and Knut will be producing, chances are fans are going to remain interested.

Female streamer learns how awkward Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure really is A female Twitch streamer found out the hard way how awkward Nintendo’s latest exercise title ‘Ring Fit Adventure’ truly is after it gave her an unsavoury request. Nintendo recently made its return to exercise peripherals with ‘Ring Fit Adventure’ on October 18, making it the second time the Japanese developer has tackled fitness, as they released ‘Wii Fit’ in 2007. The newly released exercise game sees players using a ring device as the Switch Joy-Con controller tracks movement. However, a female Twitch streamer discovered what we all learned during the Wii era – that playing Nintendo’s motion control games can actually be kind of awkward. Twitch personality Megan ‘MeggyByte’ was streaming the Nintendo exercise title for her audience, when the course asked her to complete a workout that required her to sit on the ground while lifting her legs up and spreading them apart. It took a second to dawn on her when she realized that the position looked compromising on stream, and exclaimed, “Oh my god! No! No!” to her chat. The game continued to instruct her to “Open!” her legs as she started to laugh. After mustering up the will to do the exercise, she yelled out “No!” again before breaking into laughter and laying on her back while covering her face with her hands out of embarrassment. The streamer eventually gave in to the awkward situation, and committed to completing the fitness routine but continued to break into hysterics the whole way through. “We’re NEVER going to do that one again” she assured her audience, as her chat continued to poke fun of the moment. The streamer then said that she had no idea that the game included that exercise. “I swear to God, I never expected it! I never expected that, I swear on my life!” she exclaimed, before falling back to the floor. Reacting to what someone in the chat wrote she replied, “I know! It was like “open your legs!” And I’m like no! Oh my god, I’m so shameless. I’m gonna cry, that was so funny!” Despite the awkward moment, MeggyByte took the whole thing in strides, and continued to make light of the situation. The Twitch personality has been streaming since around 2013, and does IRL broadcasts, as well as gaming. As of the time of writing this article, she boasts an audience of over 40,000 followers, and according to her bio, she’s been playing games since she was a kid.

Female fighter Claressa Shields challenges Jake Paul: “He’s getting his ass whooped” Instagram/claressashields/JakepaulFemale boxer Claressa Shields is down to go head-to-head against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in the ring and challenged him to step into a bout with her. Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm in recent months, securing victories against former UFC pros Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Now, his next battle could be of the sexes. At a Professional Fighting League press conference on September 29, Claressa Shields explained that she would never duke it out on a card headlined by Jake. “Don’t ever disrespect me. I would never fight on an undercard of Jake Paul. I’m a three-time division world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist in boxing. I would never fight on an undercard of Jake Paul,” she blasted, subsequently claiming that she could beat him up. Claressa Shields wasn’t best pleased when asked if she would fight on Jake Paul’s undercard: “”I can beat up Jake Paul at the weight class I’m at right now.”” [📽️ @PFLMMA] pic.twitter.com/4yiNsAw8KV — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) September 29, 2021 Shields wants to fight Jake Paul To follow this up, in an interview with TMZ, she doubled down on her comments, stating that she wasn’t “talking s**t” about Jake Paul but rather just “speaking facts.” “If Jake Paul gets inside a boxing ring with me, he’s getting his ass whooped,” she said. “Look, Jake Paul’s gonna say a lot of stuff. He’s gonna say it’s ‘oh, she’s a woman and I would never hit a girl’ or ‘it’s a lose-lose because if I beat her I’m a woman beater.’” After Shields predicted Paul’s reaction to her challenge, she further backed up her fighting words. “I’m a decorated female fighter. I’m the motherf**king GOAT!” According to Shields, while Paul believes that fellow fighters Amanda Serrano (who signed with his team) is the greatest of all time, she’s the real best female boxer. “If he don’t want to fight cause he’s worried about his image, we can spar. He can bring his camera crew and I can bring mine,” she suggested. “If you want to do exhibition style with two minute rounds because I’m a woman, we can do that too.” Despite all the ways Shields proposed a fight with Jake, she maintained the following guarantees: “I promise you Jake Paul would get hurt. He’d probably get dropped. He will have a newfound respect for me if we were to spar or fight.” So far Jake Paul hasn’t responded to the challenge, but it would be very interesting to see if he accepts or declines the offer.

Feds auction off jailed YouTuber’s 57 cars including Power Rangers Lamborghini YouTube: Omi In A HellcatFormer YouTuber Bill Omar Carrasquillo, best known online as ‘Omi in a Hellcat’ is currently serving a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence. While in jail, US Marshals are auctioning off his enormous vehicle collection with 57 cars, motorbikes, and more all up for grabs. Carrasquillo built a social media empire with almost a million subscribers on YouTube following his car-related content over the years. However, the former content creator happened to be involved with a number of illegal schemes involving copyright infringement, money laundering, and fraud. Owing just shy of $50 million to various impacted parties, Carrasquillo is currently serving a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence. A few months into his time, however, US Marshals are now auctioning off his personal collection that was seized during the arrest. With 57 items being put up, everything from fancy motorbikes to custom, one-of-one Lamborghinis are all on sale, with some bids already climbing beyond $380,000. The final auction itself is currently scheduled for Friday, October 13, though interested buyers have already been placing early bids online. Topping the bill is the Carrasquillo’s custom-wrapped Power Rangers-themed Lamborghini. First showcased back in 2019, Omi in a Hellcat had one of his Lambo’s covered in unique decals representing the iconic characters through multiple generations. Not only that, but the custom job also came with added lighting effects throughout, with LEDs added around the wheels, under the car itself, and around its spoiler. Despite this vehicle being wrapped specifically for Carrasquillo, anyone can now make their bid to become the new owner, along with 56 other vehicles on offer as well. Though it’s worth bearing in mind this one currently sits at a bid of $382,000 USD, with 52 bids already ramping the price up. From Jeep’s to Bentley’s and plenty more inbetween, the entire lot is expected to generate millions when all is said and done.

Fedmyster apologizes over OfflineTV sexual harassment claims in Twitch return Twitch: FedmysterAfter months of teases and false alarms, Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan finally made his return to Twitch. However, it wasn’t without addressing the elephant in the room, including his sexual misconduct allegations from OfflineTV members. It’s been a year since Fedmyster was removed from the OfflineTV house following sexual misconduct allegations from housemates Yvonne ‘Yvonnie’ Ng and Lily ‘LilyPichu’ Ki. But now he’s back on Twitch, and in his return stream, he felt the need to talk about the issues once more in order to clear his conscience, and how he plans to integrate the lessons he’s learned moving forward. Fedmyster admitted he was “physically inappropriate” with Yvonne on two occasions, although he didn’t touch any “private areas.” Still, he conceded that he didn’t get her “explicit consent” and acknowledged that it “qualifies as sexual assault.” “I want you guys to understand that sexual assault is a spectrum,” he said. “Most people think of sexual assault in the concepts of rape or attempted rape. But there are less serious forms of sexual assault that are also inappropriate. “It was very valid for Yvonne to come out and express that violation. I wanted to say that on the record. I think that it needed to be said. I violated her right to consent, and then I took that power away from her, and that’s was not okay.” He also touched on incidents with LilyPichu. “She was dealing with personal issues with her breakup, and I’d been taking care of her and hanging out with her,” he said. “She was in a very dark place. So, I wanted to be around her to make sure she was okay.” He admitted that after hanging out with her so much, a “sense of intimacy started to grow.” This culminated in him offering to give her a “foot rub” while they were tipsy, and she said yes. However, things got awkward shortly after when he told her that he liked her. “At the moment, it felt real and honest for me to say I [liked her],” he said. “But when I woke up the next morning, [I realized] I did not mean that. Looking back now, it was wrong [and] it was not what she needed.” Fed conceded that he could “totally see” how it looked like he was “trying to take advantage of her emotional state,” although he insisted that was not his intention at all. “The intention is not as important as how it actually affected her,” he said. “So, I’m sorry if you’re watching this, but I needed to acknowledge what I’ve done.” Last but not least, he commented on the document he wrote about his relationship with Pokimane, which he then followed up with a second document. “That document should have never been created,” he said. “I was very angry and in a really bad place. I felt like I was being horribly mischaracterized. “It was a complete breach of privacy to even think about putting sensitive information like that on a document and then sharing it with people. It was just the completely wrong thing to do. It disgusts me, and I’m really sorry.” Fedmyster wrapped things up by saying that he wanted to move on, as he was sure everyone else wanted to as well. But he felt like it was important to “publicly acknowledge” his transgressions for the first time. “Moving forward, I plan to use my platform to bring more awareness to topics related to women,” he said. This will include dedicated streams where female streamers would be invited to talk about important issues such as consent and misogyny “better than [he] ever could.” He urged anyone interested to come forward and use his stream to help educate people about these issues, including himself.

Fedmyster’s DIY trampoline livestream ends in disaster Instagram/Twitter: FedmysterOfflineTV member Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan made a spectacular mistake during his livestream, accidentally smashing a floor-to-ceiling window in the OTV house while attempting to assemble a trampoline. Fed bought a trampoline for the OfflineTV house, presumably to give residents something fun to do while they’re not allowed to go outside and partake in their usual activities, and took it upon himself to build it. It looked like all was going smoothly, coming together at a decent pace and looking exactly as it should, but a rogue spring managed to ruin the entire thing. The trampoline appeared to be mostly complete – a majority of the springs were in place and it seemed to be coming together as planned. But, of course, in the name of content, the trampoline had other ideas. While Fedmyster was attempting to smack a spring into place, it somehow ended up bouncing out of the metal base and the built tension saw it flung at a ridiculous speed towards the OfflineTV house and flying straight through the window. It was so fast that both Fed and his viewers couldn’t keep up with the spring and, luckily Michael Reeves – who had been offering his moral support throughout the DIY stream – was safely inside, but had he not been this could have ended in a serious injury. While at first Fed looks absolutely horrified, he and Michael end up laughing about it, obviously just stunned at what happened. Later on, OfflineTV co-founder Scarra appeared and, after tweeting about how “Scarra is going to kill [him],” Fed explained exactly what happened and the former League of Legends pro laughed it off, saying that he’s just glad nobody got hurt. They might be lucky enough to only have to replace the one window as the other parts of the sliding door seem unaffected, but it could be a costly venture – especially during these times where people aren’t strictly allowed to go out. Nonetheless, Fed got to work again a little while later and finished assembling the trampoline, with no more shattered windows in sight.

Disgraced streamer Fedmyster responds to Pokimane text leak & accusations Instagram: FedmysterFormer-Offline TV streamer Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan has responded to a document that leaked online that accused Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys of taking their relationship out of context to hurt him, calling it a “gross invasion of privacy.” [jwplayer KD1gIhoh] In June, now-former OfflineTV personality Fedmyster was accused of harassment and misconduct from several members of the content group. The shocking news rocked their community as the 25-year-old was removed from both the company and their house. After months of silence, a document leaked online on November 24 where Gaytan accused Pokimane of not telling the truth about their relationship. The file contained an essay written by him, as well as text conversations between him and the Twitch star. A day later, the streamer released a statement about the situation. Fedmyster speaks out about Pokimane document On June 29, Pokimane addressed the Fedmyster allegations on stream, and explained that his behavior was a “big reason” she had moved out of the OfflineTV house. The star stated that 25-year-old had been sabotaging her relationship with other men, and had even kept her alienated from friends. In late November, a document appeared online that showed Gaytan accusing Pokimane of not giving proper context to their relationship. “Watching Poki talk about all the things I’ve done with little to zero context to the nature of our relationship hurt me pretty bad,” the leaked letter read. It also accused the Twitch star of being untruthful. “I definitely did some questionable things and broke her trust, but there are some claims she makes about me, and herself that are either false, twisting the truth, or misconstrued.” A day later, on November 25, Fed responded to the leaked document with a statement, and slammed it for being something he never wanted shown publicly. https://twitter.com/Fedmyster/status/1331689250283155457 “[Poki and I] came to agree that keeping things private and making no further statements publicly was what was best for us…We wanted to heal and prevent any further harm to the people involved,” he continued, before revealing how it got leaked in the first place. “One of the people I had turned to for advice and support when I needed it most violated my trust, sending the document to streamers.” He apologized for any hurt caused by the leak, and then confirmed that he and Pokimane had never been intimate or had any sort of relationship outside of being friends. “I just wanna apologize, as I do feel responsible for such extremely sensitive and private conversations to be aired out like dirty laundry. “…I know a lot of details surrounding the nature of our friendship were shown, but I’d like to first prevent any further speculation by saying we were never intimate or in a relationship. Poki and I were very close and often flirty but that was the extent of it.” He ended the statement by saying, “We both made mistakes and have owned up to them privately. I hope everyone reading will try to move on from all this as we certainly have already.” While Pokimane has not fully responded to any of the claims, the Moroccan-Canadian personality told fans on her second Twitter account that she would be addressing the allegations during a Twitch stream on November 25.

Fedmyster terrifies OfflineTV’s Yvonne with hilarious clown prank Twitter: Fedmyster/yvonniengPopular streamer Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan left OfflineTV house manager Yvonne cowering in fear after he baited her with a dastardly prank that involved a pretty frightening clown costume. OfflineTV is a collective of popular content creators that is headed up by William ‘Scarra’ Li and includes members like Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys and Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang. Like other collectives, the group lives in the same house together – allowing them to create content on a regular basis. Though, living with friends who are always scheming for videos and their streams, can have some pretty hilarious consequences. Especially when they get a solid idea for a prank in their head. One of the funniest pranks came from Fedmyster during his February 8 stream as he made Yvonne, the group’s manager, the target as she chatted with fans on her own broadcast. On his own stream, Fed had been scouring Amazon to buy props for upcoming pranks when he debated grabbing a fake pregnancy test – joking that everyone in the house was ‘abstinent’ bar Yvonne, who was actually like a “rabbit.” The manager was alerted to his diss by a fan in her chat and immediately couldn’t believe what she was hearing – though it seemed as if she had fallen right for Fed’s trap. A few minutes later, she left Fedmyster’s stream open on her screen, grabbed a slipper, marched out of her room, and headed right for the waiting streamer. As she soon as she tossed a slipper at him though, Fed asked Yvonne to “be nice” and pointed out that he wasn’t alone. As she turned, perhaps expecting a person to be stood there, she got a major shock as a clown mask hanging from the wall stared right back at her. Of course, Fedmyster’s antics gave his viewers something to laugh at, and Yvonne’s reaction was probably better than they could have imagined. However, next time, the OfflineTV manager may want to give a second thought to the streamer’s ridiculous jabs, especially when he is plotting pranks.

Twitch streamer Fedmyster pulls off explosive Minecraft prank on Valkyrae L: 100 Thieves R: FedmysterOffline TV member Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan expertly trolled Minecraft TNT prank that left her stunned and angry. The Minecraft hype train is rolling along on Twitch as more and more streamers pick up the game daily due to becoming burnt out on other titles. Many of the streamers share a server together where they can perform their tasks together while building up a world together. However, the nature of these servers also opens unsuspecting players up to pranks, as we saw happen to Valkyrae. Deep in the caverns of the world, Valkyrae was digging through a chest and discovering all sorts of loot, not realizing TNT was right beside her waiting to be triggered by a pressure plate. Read more: xQc gives advice to Twitch donor – Fed came down and ignited the TNT, on purpose, causing Valkyrae to panic and throw her pickaxe before succumbing to the massive explosion. However, it wasn’t as it seemed as she spawned in again with her items in her inventory like nothing happened. “Why do I have my loot,” she asked, to which Fed replied saying it was just a prank, which must explain how she was able to keep all of her stuff. Her anger quickly died down upon that realization. What wasn’t a prank though is her Diamond pickaxe was left behind in the caves so she’d have to go down there to get it back. This is a good example of why you shouldn’t panic throw items in high-stress situations. Minecraft has been experiencing a renaissance in 2019 on Twitch as it seems like every major Fortnite streamer is checking out the game for at least a stream. Even Tfue, the biggest name on Fortnite, has been dipping into Minecraft, just magnifying the incredible pull the nearly decade-old game has.

Fedmyster removed from OfflineTV following sexual misconduct allegations Instagram: Fedmyster[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]Former OfflineTV member Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan has been removed from the content creation group following allegations of sexual misconduct. OfflineTV broke the news on the evening of June 27, following allegations made by House Manager Yvonne ‘Yvonnie’ Ng. “We strive to be a place where everyone can feel comfortable and safe,” they tweeted. “Fed has been removed from Offline TV. He will also no longer be living with us. We wholeheartedly support Yvonne, her statement, and anyone else who has the courage to share their story.” We strive to be a place where everyone can feel comfortable and safe. With that in mind, Fed has been removed from Offline TV. He will also no longer be living with us. We wholeheartedly support Yvonne, her statement, and anyone else who has the courage to share their story. https://t.co/heh8ya3A9l — OfflineTV (@OfflineTV) June 28, 2020 In her Twitlonger statement, Yvonnie said that Fed was the first friend she felt like she made in the group, and they would hang out together often in her bedroom since she had a TV. She then claimed that one night, after coming home drunk, he got into bed with her and proceeded to make advances, before putting his hand underneath her shirt and touched her side next to her chest. “10 minutes later he ‘woke up’ and said “whoa how’d I get here.” I asked, “do you remember anything?” and he said no and left my room,” she claimed. The 24-year-old allegedly did the same thing again a “few weeks later,” and again acted like he couldn’t remember his actions when questioned. The House Manager then went on to claim that Fedmyster had also acted similarly with fellow member Lily ‘LilyPichu’ Ki. “When she was going through her hard breakup with Albert, Fed also walked into her room while she was drunk. She was laying down and he asked if she wanted a massage,” she wrote. “She said sure, and he started off massaging her leg, and then up her thighs. A week or so later, he was drunk and laid down next to her, and told her he liked her. She then felt uncomfortable with everything, and he asked her to not tell anyone what happened.” LilyPichu also released her own Twitlonger statement shortly after OfflineTV revealed they’d parted ways with the streamer. She claimed that after she’d been cheated on by Albert ‘Sleightlymusical’ Chang, Fed came into her room asking if she wanted a massage. “I agreed. He massaged my legs, from my feet to my upper thighs. He came to my room again, drunk, and laid on my bed. He said he liked me. He started to visit me a lot,” she wrote. “I was confused because I always saw Fed as a good friend, and it hadn’t even been two weeks since Albert cheated on me.” Update: LilyPichu later deleted her Tweet, but the Twitlonger remains available. Fedmyster has since released a statement of his own on Twitter, responding to the allegations in a series of tweets. “Earlier this week, some of my friends sat me down and expressed that I had on several occasions made them feel uncomfortable or uneasy,” he wrote. “This pained me as it was not and has never been my intention to hurt those closest to me. I fully understand the importance of having their voices heard, and I believe I should take a step back, give them space and listen to their story,” he continued. “I’ve made it a point this year to be better, and as I often mention I’m trying to take more responsibility in my life. I owe it to both my friends and everyone who supports me to own up to my actions, and that starts by listening to those I’ve hurt.” The streamer joined OfflineTV in 2017 as an editor, but wasn’t officially made part of the content team until 2018. He currently has 610,000 followers on his main Twitch channel, and 469,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Fedmyster breaks silence after 12-month hiatus: “I got to a point where I couldn’t take it” Twitch: FedmysterFormer OfflineTV star Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan has returned to Twitch after a full year away from the internet, explaining how online toxicity grew overwhelming in light of sexual assault allegations leveled against him. Fedmyster was a key member of OfflineTV during the group’s rise to prominence. That all changed in 2020 as the former content creator was cast out of the crew amid accusations of sexual misconduct. Multiple streamers shared their stories in dealing with Fedmyster, though it was Pokimane’s lengthy document that led to an “admission of guilt” from the controversial personality. Outside of a single return stream one year removed from his fall from grace, along with a hacking incident just a few months ago, Fedmyster had remained offline since allegations surfaced. Now breaking his silence once again, he returned to the spotlight on July 5 to explain how toxicity across social media forced him away. “I just wanted to live life as a normal human for a bit,” Fedmyster told those tuned into his surprise comeback stream. Following his lowest moments, the enormous followings of OfflineTV, Pokimane, Yvonnie, and LilyPichu weren’t eager to let him forget. For some, the influx of hate directed towards him even went “over the line,” as fellow streamer Asmongold argued. It was said toxicity that drove him offline for an extended stretch. “It got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore,” he said during his return. “Am I supposed to just stream and not read chat?” “I just didn’t use the internet for a whole year,” he continued. “There’s a whole a** world out there that’s not just sitting in front of a computer watching Mizkif talk to girls all day.” When pressed on the obvious topic of his past drama, Fedmyster stressed that he’s “never, ever going to talk about [it]” again. “That sh*t is done with, I’m over it, I’m sure everyone else is over it. No one cares. “I haven’t made up with anyone. But I wish them the best because we all were family at one point. Although we don’t talk anymore, I don’t forget that.” Plans for his future online remain unclear, as Fedmyster admitted he might not “stream again anytime soon.” In the meantime, he’s working on “some music projects” on the side to keep afloat. Signing off with a final remark, he once again owned up to “past mistakes” but argued his actions “never” had “malicious” intent behind them. “I’m trying to be the best human being I can, that’s all I can say.”

Fedmyster explains how Alinity slip-up got him banned on Twitch Instagram: @fedmyster, @alinitydivinePopular Twitch streamer Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan revealed his brief ban on May 1 was related to Alinity. The OfflineTV personality explained how the star’s wardrobe malfunction got him temporarily suspended. The streamer’s second Twitch account ‘Fedmyster2’ received a ban on May 1, though the suspension was quickly lifted after the content creator appealed the punishment. The OfflineTV producer opened up about the initial three-day suspension on social media, and explained to his followers how it was actually tied to Alinity’s slip-up during her April 24 broadcast. Related – Why Alinity is Twitch’s most controversial streamer Fedmyster’s temporary Twitch ban The streamer’s second account was issued a ban on May 1st. Not long after, the personality uploaded a message to his Twitter account to explain to his followers why he had received the infraction. “Just a heads up, it appears I’ve been banned on FEDMYSTER2 for 3 days for “sharing content featuring n*dity.” He then revealed it was actually related to Alinity. “Someone posted Alinity’s n**ple on twitter when I had it open. It was on for less than a second but it is what it is. Going to explore every option,” he tweeted. Just a heads up, it appears I’ve been banned on FEDMYSTER2 for 3 days for “sharing content featuring nudity.” For context, someone posted Alinity’s nipple on twitter when I had it open. It was on for less than a second but it is what it is. Going to explore every option and LYK pic.twitter.com/EUXiz5doNG — FED2 (@fedmyster2) May 1, 2020 Thankfully for the streamer, the suspension was quickly lifted on the same day upon appeal. Fedmyster updated the situation on Twitter, stating, “Twitch has gone ahead and unbanned me” with a heart emoji. Alinity kicked off a storm of controversy on April 24 when she had a wardrobe malfunction on camera. The streamer was later issued a 24-hour suspension on April 26. Despite Fed’s ban only lasting two hours and 25 min, viewers were confused as to how his account could receive a lengthier ban than Alinity. User ‘n0tAndy’ exclaimed, “Not sure how his suspension can be longer than the person who actually broke TOS lol.” Despite the initial uproar, the streaming platform moved quickly to resolve the situation. Fedmyster’s account was re-instated in record time, as the Amazon owned-company granted his appeal. While the OfflineTV creator is allowed to stream again, this is the perfect example of how complex bans can sometimes become. Even something shown in the background can trigger a suspension.

Fedmyster banned on Twitch after channel taken over by fake Elon Musk crypto scam Twitch: FedmysterFormer OfflineTV member Fedmyster’s Twitch channel has been banned after being hacked by crypto scam broadcasts. On April 13, Twitch’s ‘Just Chatting’ category on the site was taken over by various bot-accounts sporting variations of the name ‘Elon_Musk.’ Those accounts quickly took the top spots in the category with thousands of view bots before Twitch shut them down minutes later, banning the accounts. Now, Fedmyster’s account has been compromised with similar crypto scam streams, leading to his account being suspended. Fedmyster’s Twitch account hacked With the rising interest in crypto and the growth of web3, ill-intended users have joined the space with various giveaway scams. These are often done by using a high-profile celebrity name, paired with a fake website that grants the scammer access to your wallet. Scammers have invaded Twitch’s Just Chatting category with botted streams twice — November 2020 and April 2022 — but were met with instant bans from the platform. Now, they’ve hacked Fedmysters account with two pre-recorded video broadcasts, which led to his account being banned from Twitch just hours later. According to Twitchtracker, these two hacked broadcasts are some of the first since mid-2021, when Fedmyster attempted to come back to content creation after various allegations of sexual misconduct while a part of OfflineTV. Since then, he has gone completely dark from social media as well as Twitch and YouTube. Just hours after reports of his account being hacked began to spread, popular Twitter bot Streamerbans reported that his account had been banned from the platform. This would be just his first ban, so it’s not likely to be permanent. ❌ Twitch Partner “”fedmyster”” (@Fedmyster) has been banned! ❌https://t.co/SXJJaXa755#twitch #ban #firstban #partner #twitchpartner 🐼 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) April 18, 2022 At the time of writing, the former Twitch streamer hasn’t commented on his account being hacked.

Fedmyster banned on Twitch again for allegedly streaming Super Bowl LVII Instagram: fedmysterFormer OfflineTV member Fedmyster has been banned from Twitch for a second time after allegedly streaming Super Bowl LVII. This is not Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan’s first ban on Twitch, as just last year his channel was blocked from the platform due to it being taken over during an alleged crypto scam. It was banned for just 8 days and eventually reinstated to Fedmyster. But this time, it isn’t due to a compromise, but instead, a DMCA takedown. According to viewers tuned into the February 12 stream, Fedmyster was illegally watching the Super Bowl on his broadcast, pretending he was playing Madden 23 with an Xbox controller in hand. However, no clips have yet surfaced to validate these claims. According to TwitchTracker, he was streaming on the day and time of the Super Bowl. Mid-way into the stream, he changed the stream title to: Trying new madden game!TWDS#ad Fedmyster was allegedly banning viewers who were saying they were going to report him for illegally streaming the event. The former Twitch streamer has had a controversial past few years outside of his time on Twitch. Fedmyster was hit with allegations of sexual misconduct from the female members of OfflineTV, including Yvonnie, Pokimane, and Lilypichu. Ever since the allegations, he has gone dark from social media, other than the odd post about a stream he was doing. It is unclear if Fedmyster will be unbanned on Twitch again soon, as unlike his first ban, this is punishable with a permanent ban from the platform. And this is not the first instance of someone trying to dupe DMCA bots. Back in 2017, a clip of a streamer went viral for him trying to pass off a UFC pay-per-view match as the official UFC video game by pretending he was playing it. With a controller in hand, and commentating over it as if he was controlling the fighters. The streamer was never banned. But in Fedmyster’s case, he got caught.

This is America!” Fans quickly flooded the comments with their thoughts on the situation, flaming the FedEx driver for her comments. “Fedex, do better we are paying costumer .. hire people who want to work,” one user said.

I went through the back of my truck… and all of a sudden everyone [in the house] is in the doorway,” she explained. “So I asked for some help and everybody just looked at me. I put it on the dolly and had to bring it up a curb. [Doing so,] I fell with the dolly and package. Im frustrated, it’s cold outside and I’m just trying to gather my thoughts.” After a short back and forth, she ended up saying the racist comment and deeply apologized to the TikToker and FedEx. “I know better, I’m sorry,” she said.

It sounded like his stomach was hurting,” one user commented, empathizing with the FedEx driver. “Hey. He apologized. A real gentlemen,” another added, complimenting the worker’s polite demeanor.

FCC commissioner calls for TikTok ban due to security concerns Pixabay: Kon ZografosU.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner Brendan Carr has called on Apple and Google to take TikTok down from its app stores due to a number of security concerns, saying the platform “presents a serious national security threat”. A member of the FCC has written to Apple and Google CEOs Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai, calling for the companies to remove popular social media platform TikTok from their app stores. Brendan Carr sent the four-page memo to the two heads in the wake of an “alarming new report” from BuzzFeed which stated the platform “collects vast troves of sensitive data about U.S. users” which was then accessed by Chinese officials. Carr called the app’s main purpose of “sharing funny videos or memes” as “the sheep’s clothing”, with the wolf being the platform functioning as “a sophisticated surveillance tool”. “TikTok collects everything from search and browsing histories to keystroke patterns and biometric identifiers, including faceprints — which researchers have said might be used in unrelated facial recognition technology — and voiceprints,” he said. “Numerous provisions of the Apple App Store and Google Play Store policies are relevant to TikTok’s pattern of surreptitious data practices — a pattern that runs contrary to its repeated representations.” The commissioner also highlighted previous instances where Apple and Google took down apps for similar data-sharing breaches. He has asked for a reply by July 8. TikTok is not just another video app. That’s the sheep’s clothing.It harvests swaths of sensitive data that new reports show are being accessed in Beijing. I’ve called on @Apple & @Google to remove TikTok from their app stores for its pattern of surreptitious data practices. pic.twitter.com/Le01fBpNjn — Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) June 28, 2022 It is not the first time officials have lobbied for a TikTok ban in the United States. Former President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order back in August 2020 which pushed for owners Bytedance to shut down all operations in the country within 45 days. The order was never finalized, with TikTok continuing to grow to this day. Apple and Google are yet to reply to Carr’s requests with both app store fronts still offering the social media platform to users. The app has been downloaded billions of times across both since it hit the mainstream in 2018.

FDA warns viral TikTok avocado hack is extremely dangerous Unsplash.com: Louis HanselThe latest TikTok trend is claiming to keep avocados fresh for weeks — but the FDA is warning against this viral foodie craze. TikTok is home to a slew of trends and fads that have taken social media by storm. From spawning a slew of must-try pasta recipes to catchy dance challenges and more, it’s clear that TikTok is the king of viral content… but not all of these trends are worth doing. In fact, some of TikTok’s hottest fads have proven to be quite dangerous. Back in 2021, the video-sharing app removed any and all videos relating to the milk crate challenge after doctors saw an uptick in breaks and fractures due to the crate-climbing fiasco. Now, health professionals are warning against yet another major TikTok moment — this one dealing with food preservation. TikTok’s latest fad is all about keeping avocados fresh. Let’s face it; these fruits are notorious for going bad overnight, and it can be frustrating trying to keep your guac looking green for more than a couple days. This TikTok fad claims to have found the solution for this pesky problem. One viral video shows that a user stored their whole avocados in a thermos full of water, and claimed to have kept them there for two weeks. After taking the fruit out of the thermos and cutting it up, it was as green as a fresh avocado can be — but the FDA isn’t convinced that this is a sound way of storing one’s food. Click here if TikTok fails to load. FDA warns against viral TikTok avocado ‘hack’ “The FDA does not recommend this practice,” a spokesperson said of the fad in a statement to Newsweek. “The main concern is with the possibility that any residual human pathogens (i.e. Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp, etc.) that may be residing on the avocado surface may potentially multiply during the storage when submerged in water.” That’s right… storing your avos in H2O could give you salmonella, or worse. Yikes! This is just the latest dangerous trend picking up steam on TikTok; the app is currently facing a lawsuit from a Pennsylvania mother after her child passed away due to purportedly trying the ‘blackout challenge,’ which has gained popularity on the site.

Fboy Island host Abbie Chatfield furious after being shamed by “boomers” over outfit Instagram: abbiechatfieldAustralian influencer and Reality TV star Abbie Chatfield has exposed a group of people who made suggestive comments about an outfit she wore at dinner, the influencer taking to Instagram to share her thoughts and frustrations on the interaction. After first starring on the Australian version of The Bachelor, Abbie Chatfield has built up a career via podcasting, TV work, and more. Typically, her content focuses on female empowerment, with the Aussie focusing on pushing forward a sex-positive image all the while keeping the comedy side of things at the forefront. In keeping with this, Chatfield recently took to Instagram, sharing a recent experience she had in which a group of “boomers” were saying inappropriate things about her outfit. After posting a picture of the fit in question, Abbie then captions and commented on the photo and explained what had happened. She addressed the photo to “the table of boomers loudly next to me b***hing about me saying they would be ashamed if their daughter wore that top out.’” She then added, “Sorry you have nothing left to talk about in your crusty relationships…your kids probably would be the ones ashamed if they heard what you were saying! Me wearing a hot top doesn’t compare to you spending your night focusing on my tits and making it the main topic of conversation,” she wrote. People were quick to flood the comments section of Chatfield’s Instagram post, offering up their support for the influencer while also ridiculing the group of people who said those things to Abbie. One Instagram user wrote. “Wear it proudly!” Another commented “Girl you’re gorgeous as ever. They are just jealous that they can’t wear it anymore or never could. You rock beautiful.” Recently, Chatfield hosted the Australian reality TV series, Fboy Island. The show focused on three women looking for love, with men coming on the show and trying to win over their hearts. However, there was a twist. Some of the men that came onto the show were nice guys and looking for love. However, some were self-titled f***boys who were only there to try and trick the girls and get the money prize at the end.

YouTube’s Fine Brothers Entertainment accused of sexism and toxicity in the workplace YouTube: Fine Brothers EntertainmentA number of former Fine Brothers Entertainment employees have spoken out about the sexism and toxicity faced in the workplace while working on the popular YouTube channels. After a number of racism allegations surfaced throughout 2020, including videos of founders Benny and Rafi Fine in blackface, there was monumental backlash. This resulted in a number of staff and members of talent leaving, and the full extent of these allegations is available below. Now, on March 24, 2021, Business Insider has reported that a number of former employees have accused the company of creating a toxic workplace environment, including allegations of sexism against female staff. Sexism & toxicity allegations In the piece, which also investigates past allegations made against the group, 13 former employees allege that they faced sexism while working for FBE. One former production assistant told Insider that an older reactor once told her she looked “very sexy” in 2016 when she walked out of a room he was filming in. Two former staff members said they witnessed that incident. One told Insider that the same reactor said to her and the production assistant: “In my days, none of you guys would have jobs because you’re women.” FBE’s response, it is stated, was to make female talent work with female production assistants, and vice versa. While the new plan only lasted “after about two weeks,” the victims say that it felt more like they were being restricted from opportunities rather than taking action against the perpetrators. Several people told Insider they didn’t believe their experiences reflected intentional sexism. They felt the Fines hired “yes men” who blindly supported a culture of male privilege. “I think they were doing sexist things and didn’t even know it. It’s like systemic male privilege. They just don’t even know how that affects us.” Former producer Julie Montoya also told Insider she was subjected to inappropriate comments in meetings. One example of this was Rafi Fine asking her — the only woman in the meeting — what kind of underwear she was wearing. Six others said they remember comments made by Rafi Fine they felt were inappropriate. Fine did not respond to Insider’s requests for comment. Racism allegations In another investigative article by Insider back in January 2021, a number former employees spoke out about their experiences working for FBE. The company’s former head of casting, Steve Caustey, revealed that the Fine brothers used a three-tier system to rank their “reactors,” and demanded that at least 33% of the people in their “react” videos involved people in the top tier before an episode could be made. Causey told Insider that there were “more white people at the top” of the tier, which meant that episodes ended up being predominately white. He said in an interview with them: “It was noticeable, but I don’t think it was intentional. I feel like it might’ve started as unconscious bias, but after a time enough people brought it up that it should have been addressed.” A former researcher told Insider that FBE staff “profit from the idea that they’re diverse without valuing it authentically. They try to capitalize and commercialize on it as much as they can.” FBE’s lawyers said to Insider that race wasn’t a factor in decisions such as tiers and video thumbnails, with a spokesperson adding that the Fine brothers “have always endeavored to feature a majority of underrepresented voices in FBE’s content.” What happened with FBE in 2020? In June 2020, a video resurfaced of a comedy sketch Benny Fine did with fellow YouTuber Shane Dawson, wherein Benny was wearing blackface. The footage went viral and led to the two founders receiving extreme backlash. High profile members of their ‘React’ series, such as Kennedy Zimet, made the decision to leave the channel after the footage went viral, with Zimet saying in a statement shared to Twitter that they felt “blindsided and flat out used, especially since they have not owned up to their actions by apologizing publicly or to their black cast members.” This led to Mark Plier, who claimed to be a former producer for FBE, to say that the Fine brothers “wanted to benefit from the “diversity” but not benefit diversity,” alleging that YouTube video thumbnails with more than one BAME person were frequently turned down by the pair. https://twitter.com/yofriendmarcus/status/1270889483458625537 He also claimed that they “would frequently ask for the person of color to be on the right of the thumbnail and not the left, our only conclusion as to why that would be is the left person is the first one you’d see and thus the first impression.” Read More: How to clip and download Twitch clips – In further Tweets, Plier alleged that “the culture was so entrenched and they were so unwilling to hear our demands for changes that employee turnover became larger than the company’s actual size in just the 3 years I was there.” The brothers released a statement apologizing for their “terrible errors of judgment” and ultimately decided to take a step back from the FBE company following the backlash. They have not yet responded to the latest series of sexism allegations made against them in March 2021.

FaZe x GHOST Energy FaZe Pop flavor review: A blast of flavor that rivals PRIME FaZe ClanFamed gaming organization FaZe Clan has teamed up with the minds behind GHOST Energy to release their very own flavor of the self-described “no BS” energy drink. FaZe Clan has secured a wealth of eye-popping collaborations over the last few months, most recently signing luxury car brand Porsche as their official partner for all of FaZe’s esports teams. From sub sandwiches to Totinos pizza rolls and more, FaZe is all about bringing their gaming prowess to the mainstream — but their latest endeavor takes it all back home. On February 22, FaZe announced its collaboration with GHOST Energy to bring two new products to the market with a new flavor, ‘FaZe Pop.’ Dexerto was sent a few cans of their FaZe Pop GHOST Energy drinks, as well as a FaZe Pop version of their GHOST GAMER supplement, to try out… but does FaZe’s latest foray into the energy drink business live up to the competition? A sweet burst of flavor for late-night gaming At first glance, it’s undeniable that FaZe Pop reminds us of Logan Paul and KSI’s PRIME Hydration ‘Ice Pop’ flavor, which was released back in Sumer 2022. After all, both products were inspired by the same muse; those iconic, tri-colored popsicles that you could buy at the swimming pool concession stand as a kid during Summer Break. However, while they might have the same inspiration, FaZe Pop is decidedly more of a candy-flavored affair as opposed to the general sweetness of PRIME Hydration’s Ice Pop flavor. It’s certainly enough to satisfy both your taste buds and your sweet tooth, without overloading your system with sugar. Like PRIME Hydration, FaZe Pop has zero sugar. It also has no artificial colors and boasts 200 mg of natural caffeine for a significant boost of energy for those late-night gaming sessions. That’s not the only FaZe Pop product from GHOST, though; the brand also has a FaZe Pop version of its GAMER supplement, which can be mixed into water to take on the go in a bottle or to enjoy at home. Although the flavor is less intense than its canned counterpart, it’s perfectly palatable for those wanting to achieve their daily water intake — although it does have less caffeine, boasting 150 mg per serving. However, while checking out the GAMER Supplement, we did notice a bit of the powder settling to the bottom — so we recommend giving it a good shake before each sip. How to buy FaZe Pop x GHOST Energy drink Fans will be able to cop a can of FaZe Pop at GNC on March 2, as well as select 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores nationwide beginning February 27. At the time of writing, it’s unclear how much a can of FaZe Pop will cost, but most 12-pack cases of the energy drink brand retail around $29 – $35. All in all, both FaZe Pop x GHOST products deliver a delightful “pop” of flavor that satisfies your sweet tooth, giving you a boost of energy without the guilt of consuming any sugar… although you’ll certainly feel the buzz when you’re halfway through a can and grinding for Supersonic Legend in Rocket League at 2 in the morning.

FaZe YourRage says FaZe “fell off” and that change is necessary as new members announced FaZe Clan/YourRAGEFaZe YourRage has slammed the state of the organization, claiming that it “fell off” in recent years but that upcoming signings and radical changes promise a shift in content for the once-iconic brand. The drama surrounding FaZe Clan continues, with relatively new FaZe member YourRage not holding back his thoughts and feelings on the state of the organization during a recent livestream. YourRage joined the clan back in August, 2023, the content creator skyrocketing in popularity in part due to his friendship with another major streamer in Kai Cenat. During an April 29 Kick stream, the streamer was constantly being asked by his chat to talk about the state of FaZe today, with many viewers also sharing their thoughts on the recent relaunch spearheaded by Banks. Straight off the bat, he admitted that he anticipates things getting “even worse” before they get better. “Let’s be honest… However fallen off you think Faze is, it’ll be even worse. That sh*t gets no traction right now. I know it’s not all about views but it’s about entertaining your viewers at the end of the day. If that is the case then damn Faze fell the f**k off. They still doing the same sh*t. Get with the time’s brother, nobody gives a f**k about sniping bro.” The Kick streamer then directed his words to his chat, claiming that there is “no winning” when it comes to pleasing viewers. “All those people f**king crying about sniping and sh*t. I don’t understand this sh*t is fun to me but apparently, other people don’t f**king agree. And you don’t either because you’re in the comments f**king crying. You’re just a crybaby in the comments. You don’t give a f**k about a quick scoping montage no more.” Lastly, he slammed some of the original members of FaZe Clan, taunting them by stating he’d be open to a match in the future, his newer squad versus the original members. “I won’t lie these OGs are f**king old. I get my FaZe squad you get your FaZe squad. I got my FaZe squad that is signing this week. 5 v 5 run it, I don’t give a f**k, you’re losing.” At the time of writing, no other FaZe Clan members have reacted to YourRage’s comments. However, we’ll be sure to keep you updated as the situation further develops.

FaZe Tfue mocks xQc with hilarious table breaking impression Tfue, YouTube / xQc, TwitchFortnite Battle Royale scene, but he just couldn’t help himself from mocking his teammate’s attempts to break his own desk after being eliminated. Tfue and xQc teaming in Fortnite The popular Twitch streamers have been teaming up during livestreams to play the popular battle royale game. Fans have not only been enjoying the gameplay, but the raging antics from the Canadian, as well. However, it turns out that it’s not just viewers of the streamers who have noticed just how funny xQc’s reactions can be after being eliminated, as Tfue has also taken keen notice. FaZe Tfue’s best xQc impression The FaZe Clan professional player decided to pull off an impression of his own, after being killed in Fortnite’s new ranked Arena mode. Tfue thumped his arms down on his desk before flinging his headset away from their normal position, but that wasn’t the funniest part. Jokily impersonating xQc, he held himself up on his gaming chair with his arms before crashing his feet down onto the table. He couldn’t hide his smile from the camera, though. What he was doing was obvious, and hilarious. The original rage from xQc There have been a number of instances where xQc has flew off the handle – or become very animated – since playing Epic Games’ popular game. In fact, on a few occasions he has looked pretty close to actually breaking his desk, as seen in the clip below as he uses his feet. “Ah, Dude!” he screamed, clearly shocked by the manner of his elimination in Fortnite. “How does that not hit? It was perfect. It was perfect!” It’s just the type of thing the streamer is pretty much known for on the platform. Whether he or Tfue produce the best rages isn’t really for us to say. Who do you think did it better?

FaZe Tfue takes shots at Logan Paul during trip to Japan Tfue, Twitch / YouTuber MagazineFortnite pro and popular streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney threw major shade towards controversial YouTuber Logan Paul during a vlog of his trip to Japan – nearly a year after Paul’s highly criticized debacle in the country’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest.’ Tfue traveled to Japan just after the 2018 Fortnite Korea Open, where he took first place in the Duos main event with fellow player and streamer Kristen ‘Kittyplays’ Michaela. Just as he was headed to board his flight, Tfue mentioned Paul – specifically citing his incident in the country nearly a year prior. “Let’s get up in here, get some vlog footage, hopefully not ruin my career like other YouTubers in the past,” Tfue stated, followed by an edit of Paul’s face from his own infamous vlog. “I’ll try my best,” Tfue continued, laughing. Paul’s vlog caught the attention of media outlets worldwide, after he filmed the body of a deceased person upon entering an off-limits area of the forest in early 2018. Despite this major blow to Paul’s image, he has since been deemed one of 2018’s highest-earning YouTubers, raking in a reported $10 million according to Forbe’s top ten list. https://www.dexerto.com/fortnite/fa-ze-tfue-has-hilarious-encounter-with-player-using-his-name-at-korea-open-262502Tfue’s vlog follows rumors that Paul was involved with social media star Corinna Kopf, who was reportedly dating Tfue after being seen with the Fortnite pro at a party by another streamer. Since then, footage surfaced of the two during MrBeast’s $100,000 YouTuber circle challenge – but Tfue denied any involvement with Kopf, according to messages with Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR. While Paul’s subtweets appeared to be linked to vague posts by Kopf, she publicly decried Paul’s actions in the forest just after his vlog went viral, with Paul himself confirming that she wasn’t too fond of him during an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast.

FaZe Tfue forced to uninstall Fortnite following bizarre friend request glitch The Hollywood Fix, YouTube / Epic GamesPopular Twitch streamer and Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue encountered a unique glitch during the middle of a stream – which ultimately caused him to play under an alternate account. Tfue was in the midst of a Fortnite game when his screen kept blacking out, rendering the battle royale unplayable and forcing him to return to the lobby. The streamer speculated that his game was glitching out due to an overload of friend requests – even though he’d enabled Auto Decline in his game settings. https://fortniteintel.com/fortnite-season-8-v8-00-leaked-cosmetics-skins-pickaxes-back-bling-gliders-and-emotes/12898/That’s not all; the influx of friend requests was so great that it ended up completely freezing his game, although notifications were still consistently popping up on the loading screen through Epic’s launcher. “Dude, I think I’m gonna have to play on an alt account,” Tfue said of the issue. “…my game is legitimately fucking broken.” [The incident occurs within the first three minutes of the video below] In an attempt to dodge the friend request overload, Tfue went as far as to completely uninstall Fortnite and the Epic Games launcher altogether, going on to play under his alternate account. As it happens, Tfue had left Auto Decline off in the Epic launcher, leading to a major dysfunction that left his account unusable. However, Tfue returned to Fortnite the very next day, rushing to implement Auto Decline before the friend requests could have a chance to roll in. It comes as no surprise that Tfue is constantly under a barrage friend requests; as one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, Tfue boasts over five million followers on the platform, with over nine million subscribers on YouTube due to his Fortnite exploits.

FaZe Tfue has hilarious slip up while showing appreciation to his fans Popular Fortnite player and streamer FaZe Tfue had a hilarious blunder during a live stream on November 17. Tfue was in the middle of advertising his wish to get one million supporters for Fortnite’s ‘Support a Creator’ initiative when he had a major slip of the tongue. “…maybe, if I see you in person, I’ll give you a nice kiss, right on the lips – if you’re above the age of fifteen,” Tfue said. He immediately realized his blunder, quickly shifting gears to clarify the incident as a mistake. “Er, eighteen – fuck, dude!” he said, much to his chat’s amusement. “What the fuck, why would I say fifteen? Now I look weird! Bro, why did I mess up words there? Aw dude, now I’m a fucking pedophile.” Read More: Top Fortnite streamers come to defense of Ninja after Reddit witch hunt to “ruin his career” – He went on to firmly explain that the fan must be of legal age – but didn’t seem to care how old they were beyond that point. “Eighteen!

FaZe Tfue gets emotional after NICKMERCS praises his Fortnite skills CWLFaZe Clan highest-earning Fortnite player in the world, had been streaming on February 23 when he was sent a clip of NICKMERCS complimenting his skills and stating that he believes Tfue should be invited to the upcoming Fortnite World Cup. When Tfue watched the clip of his fellow pro player complimenting his skills and giving him some really high praise, the FaZe pro couldn’t handle it – as his emotions became clear to see, as he even had to hold back tears. In the clip, NICKMERCS stated that he believes that Tfue is the best Fortnite player in the world. “I think he’s the best, I think he’s the GOAT,” said the 100 Thieves pro, causing Tfue to blush and cover his face. “What the fuck,” emotionally replied the FaZe star a few moments later, rubbing his eyes in the process – clearly surprised by what his fellow pro had just said about him. “Dude, NICKMERCS, love the guy,” said Tfue as he finished watching the clip. Tfue further added: “That’s the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me dude.” (Timestamp of below video for mobile users: 0:00) His fellow pro may support him receiving an invite spot from Epic Games for the World Cup event, which has a mega $30 million prize pool, Tfue has hinted that he might not take part. While he can say he might not participate and the whole thing may be enjoyable, the major Fortnite tournament wouldn’t be the same without the highest-earning pro player.

FaZe Tfue explains his involvement with Corinna Kopf in hilariously awkward interview Logan Paul, The Hollywood Fix – YouTube / Corinna Kopf, InstagramPopular Twitch streamer and Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue has finally explained his alleged romantic involvement with social media star Corinna Kopf – as well as her mysterious relationship with YouTuber Logan Paul. Tfue addressed the speculation in an interview with the Hollywood Fix on February 12, where he vehemently denied any supposed romance with Kopf. “I don’t have a girlfriend, bro,” Tfue said of the rumors. “She’s just a friend of mine. We hung out a little bit. I haven’t really talked to her in awhile.” He went on to claim that he doesn’t have “any opinion” on her supposed relationship with Logan Paul – although a sly smile did cross his face when asked about the romance. The interview also featured an awkward moment where the cameraman inquired about Tfue’s watch – to which Tfue merely responded, “It’s just a G-Shock, dude.” paps- “man that watch is crazy…damn that thing is insaaaneeee”@TTfue – “it’s just a g-shock dude” pic.twitter.com/nZ4vHMO9jG — Adam Kudeimati (@iamadamthe1st) February 13, 2019 Tfue was allegedly seen with Kopf at a party related to actress Bella Thorne in mid-December of 2018, sparking rumors that the two were secretly dating. Kopf was later spotted in a vlog with Tfue during MrBeast’s $100,000 circle challenge, further cementing their unofficial relationship. However, Kopf was later photographed cuddling up to Logan Paul at a Lakers game in early January, after the two were caught subtweeting each other across Twitter. Paul himself had a confusing reaction to Tfue and Kopf’s alleged romance during an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast, turning away from the camera with a grin when presented with the topic.

FaZe Temperrr wins boxing appeal after “rigged” King Kenny match FaZe ClanFaZe Temperrr has officially been declared as the winner after appealing what many called a “rigged” boxing match against King Kenny. On March 5, the world was treated to Showstar’s UK vs USA influencer boxing event. This showdown saw the likes of Deji vs Alex Wassabi alongside co-main event FaZe Temperrr vs King Kenny. The Showstar event faced heavy backlash following the matches as fans stormed the ring, racist remarks flew around, and claims of rigged fights loomed over their heads. A victim of one of the rigged matches was FaZe Clan co-founder, Thomas ‘Temperrr’ Oliveira, who lost his match on a split decision. In response to the ruling, he filed an official appeal, and we now have a new winner. FaZe Temperrr wins boxing appeal against King Kenny Five days after the match, Temperrr revealed in a tweet that the Professional Boxing Association had reviewed his appeal and reversed the decision from his bout against King Kenny. Thank you @showstarboxing for making it right. 1-0 🏆 #Unanimous pic.twitter.com/KHRbA5oHeg — FaZe Temperrr (@Temperrr) March 10, 2022 According to the official statement, the match has been rescored to “49-46, 49-46, 48-47” all in favor of Temperrr, to give the FaZe member a unanimous victory. Temperrr initially filed an appeal on March 7, stating that the judges were forced to work in conditions “not normal.” The PBA noted it was accepted “due to the dangerous and chaotic circumstances experienced by our officials.” His opponent, YouTube star King Kenny, previously held his ground in a video, saying he is “not claiming victory,” but the fight wasn’t “rigged” and “could have gone either way.” Now, he is accepting defeat on Twitter. A simple “GG” was all that Kenny had to say about the reversal of fate. The PBA said this does not take away from the performance that both men showed in the ring – but ultimately, “Temperrr did enough to win the majority of the rounds.” At this time, it is unknown if the fighters plan on a rematch. In the meantime, Kenny has offered to fight Temperrr again, but this time on US soil.

FaZe Tfue celebrates his birthday by spending $1 million in one day TfueFortnite pro player Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney celebrated his 22nd birthday in style after sharing that he’d spent over $1 million on his special day, with many fans reaping the rewards of his generosity. The popular streamer rode around in his real-life Fortnite Battle Bus, meeting up with some of his fans and gifting a bunch of them everything from a selfie to Microsoft points for Xbox One players. However, that wasn’t the bulk of his spending spree – after buying a number of other luxury items for himself too, including his very first car. In a recent video uploaded to his official YouTube channel, the FaZe Clan player made good on a promise from 2018 and purchased a Tesla Model X vehicle – teasing a future upgrade to Model S, if the company’s CEO Elon Musk continues to interact with him on social media, as he has in the past. He also splashed out on a brand new Sea-Doo jet ski and wasted little time getting it in the water. “She purrs, dude, but she isn’t even broken into yet,” he said, before whisking away into the distance. For those wondering how Tfue has made enough money to afford this splurge, he has accumulated the most grand prize money of any professional Fortnite player – at the time of writing – and boasts a record breaking amount of Twitch subscribers, if his own statistics are to be believed. In his own official breakdown, he says he had initially intended to spend over $1 million dollars on the property alone, however, the warehouse he invested in amounted to $840,000 along with the jet ski ($20,000) and the Tesla ($140,000).

FaZe Temperrr appeals result after “rigged” boxing loss to King Kenny at UK vs USA event FaZe TemperrrFaZe Clan’s Temperrr has revealed that he’s started the appeals process following his loss to King Kenny at Showstar’s UK vs USA event. Over the last few years, boxing has become the outlet of choice for many influencers and content creators who want to settle a score with their rivals, with many looking to follow in the footsteps of Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and KSI. There have been some pretty big influencer boxing events in that time, including the recent UK vs USA event hosted by Showstar, which saw the likes of Stromedy, Deji, Vitaly, and FaZe Temperrr step into the ring. Though, the event wasn’t without controversy. In the case of FaZe Temperrr, many viewers had him comfortably beating King Kenny, but his UK counterpart was given the victory after the bout went to the judge’s scorecards. While many suggested that the fight had been “rigged,” Temperrr himself fumed about the decision, calling it “f**king bullsh*t.” Well, now that the dust has settled a little bit, the FaZe Clan founder has taken a pretty big step in getting the fight result changed. “Officially started the appeal process today,” he said on March 7, telling fans he’ll keep them updated as it goes. While many fans supported his decision to appeal the result, some doubted that anything would be done and suggested that the social media star would still have an L on his record once a decision has been reached. officially started the appeal process today. keep u guys posted — FaZe Temperrr (@Temperrr) March 7, 2022 Some fans pointed to the fact that, while it is only an influencer boxing event, there is some precedent in results being overturned. AnEsonGib managed to get his controversial draw with Tayler Holder overturned by the officiators of the event back in June 2021, and that didn’t take much time at all. Though, it remains to be seen if Temperrr will get the same outcome.

FaZe Temperrr vs Slim Albaher looks more likely than ever amid Twitter beef YouTube: FaZe Temperrr, Slim Albaher Pexels.com: Ron LachA boxing match between influencers FaZe Temperrr and Slim Albaher is looking more likely than ever after the two stars got into a heated feud on Twitter. Sulieman ‘Slim’ Albaher is a YouTuber with a history in boxing. In 2019, he faced off against fellow creator FouseyTube, winning the match by TKO. In 2021, Slim won another match against an opponent at the Social Knockout 2 event, KO’ing his rival to take the victory. Temperrr, on the other hand, is an influencer with a history in the martial arts. The YouTuber currently trains regularly in boxing and MMA, and practiced Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai in his childhood — and while he’s called out names like Jake Paul in the past, he has yet to jump into the boxing ring against another influencer for an official bout. FaZe Temperrr calls out Slim Albaher on Twitter However, this could be set to change in the near future. In September, Temperrr notably called out Slim on Twitter, comparing the YouTuber to a kangaroo. “Your first fight was against somebody who was heavier than me, your 2nd fight you ran across the ring, threw a punch, and that was the fight,” Temperrr wrote. “Stop hiding behind the keyboard with your goofy a**.” Your first fight was against somebody who was heavier than me, your 2nd fight you ran across the ring threw a punch and that was the fight. Stop hiding behind the keyboard wit your goofy ass @SlimmySlim94 pic.twitter.com/GUT00V6Jve — FaZe Temperrr (@Temperrr) September 14, 2021 Over a month later, Slim finally hit back. “Man got a boxing bag in his backyard and thinks he can box now lmao,” he replied. “Ima show you levels to this game once you have balls to step up. Ima break you, I promise you that.” Man got a boxing bag in his backyard and thinks he can box now lmao. Ima show u levels to this game once u have balls to step up. Ima break u, I promise u that https://t.co/NZO0ov1M63 — Slim “The Hitman” Albaher (@SlimmySlim94) November 1, 2021 That’s not all; Temperrr revealed that he and Slim were allegedly set to face off on October 15, but claimed that Slim purportedly pulled out of the match. “Man shut up,’ Temperrr shot back. “We were supposed to fight October 15th, but you pulled out cause you wanted another easy opponent instead. I can’t tell what’s uglier, you or your boxing.” Man shut up we was supposed to fight October 15th but u pulled out cause you wanted another easy opponent instead. I can’t tell what’s uglier, u or ur boxing https://t.co/stFLTebitt — FaZe Temperrr (@Temperrr) November 1, 2021 A few replies later, and it looks like the rivals are open to scheduling a boxing match against each other before the year is out, although no official word has yet been announced for their proposed bout. I’m ready to make it happen before this year ends. Y’all gonna call me Abu Faze after what I do to him https://t.co/9rBSkkUCfy — Slim “The Hitman” Albaher (@SlimmySlim94) November 1, 2021 For now, the internet is waiting to see what comes of this beef, and whether or not they’ll actually see this months-long feud come to a head.

FaZe Teeqo Announces New Website & Giveaway for Limited Edition Signed Mousepad FaZe’s Jakob ‘Teeqo’ has uploaded a YouTube video announcing his return to the U.S. along with a new website and giveaway for fans. Teeqo began the video by reiterating that he would soon be moving back to the United States after staying in his home country of Sweden. With his Visa procured, he stated that he will be able to live in the U.S. for three years. While he had previously announced this development on social media, he revealed that he would be moving soon – on Thursday, September 13, to be exact. Following this news, Teeqo likewise shared that he had created a website in partnership with Squarespace, made solely for fans. The site currently features a giveaway for a one-of-a-kind FaZe mousepad, and is signed by FaZe members FaZe Blaze, FaZe Rain, and FaZe Cheo. Since the mousepad’s design is still undergoing changes, the winner will own the only existing copy of that this specific version. Teeqo decided to mix things up with his giveaway.

To win, fans must write about how they started watching either Teeqo’s channel or the FaZe Clan’s videos. Fans should include when they began watching, talk about their favorite videos, and describe what they feel makes the FaZe Clan special.

FaZe Temperrr apologizes after ’emotional’ response to KO loss at KSI’s boxing event Instagram: temperAfter losing via KO at the hands of Slim Albaher, FaZe Temperrr was quick to upload a reaction video on YouTube the same night as KSI’s boxing event. However, just 24 hours later, he’s now issued a follow-up response to apologize for his ‘emotional’ recap of the fight. Initially locked in to fight popular rapper Blueface, Temperrr ultimately stepped into the ring against YouTuber Slim Albaher on August 27 following a late-notice opponent swap. As the co-headlining bout of KSI’s event at the 02 Arena, plenty of eyes were on the FaZe Clan co-owner. Things didn’t go his way in the end, however, as Slim Albaher rushed forward with a flurry of strikes to knock Temperrr off his feet. Noticeably stumbling as he got back up, Temperrr was deemed unfit to continue and the referee called it a KO loss. Immediately following the result, Temperrr returned to his hotel and explained his performance in a 10-minute YouTube video. Throughout this footage, he claimed he fought with emotion due to an earlier fight on the card involving FaZe Sensei. “I truly didn’t expect for Sensei to get robbed, it was like déjà vu,” he explained. Having appealed a questionable decision in his last bout, coincidentally to King Kenny, the same opponent Sensei lost to, Temperrr was overcome with emotion in the back of the 02 Arena as he warmed up. “When I tell you, I was f***ing heated, genuinely so mad… That moment deterred me from my focus, deterred me from my game plan.” 24 hours removed from that admittedly ‘emotional’ upload, Temperrr recorded another brief clip to apologize. Not only to his fans, but to his opponent Slim Albaher too. “More time has passed since the fight,” he said. “I’ve had a lot more to think and reflect on everything that’s happened. First off, I want to say I’m not proud of the last video I posted. I filmed that last video as soon as I got back to the hotel. My emotions were still all over the place. Now I see it wasn’t the smartest idea to make that video at that time.” Admitting his earlier comments came in the heat of the moment, he assured there was no ill will towards his opponent. “I meant no disrespect. It’s clear [King Kenny] was the better man in the ring that night.” Now using the loss as fuel to rebound in a big way, Temperrr pledged to get back in the ring before long. “I don’t want to be the type of person to make excuses,” he stressed. “I work too damn hard to be that person. This is just motivation for me to work even harder.”

FaZe Swagg shows off Nuke Squad’s new $7 million LA Mansion YouTube: Nuke SquadFaZe Swagg and the Nuke Squad have moved into a ritzy new seven-bedroom Los Angeles mansion, and they showed off the entire space in a brand-new YouTube video. It was only a year ago that the Nuke Squad — comprised of Swagg, JSmooth, Santana, MoneyB, and Booya — moved in together for the first time, but the group has now made a major upgrade. Moving up from their previous humble abode to a genuine mansion, complete with a basketball court and theater room, the team will now be operating out of a space big enough to hold their explosive personalities. Swagg shows off Nuke Squad’s new Mansion Swagg kicked off the tour by showing off the ridiculous interior of the bottom floor. Featuring a living room couch big enough to fit all six of the current residents, the leading man was over the moon with the new digs: “I love how modern it is, I love the black and white vibes.” He continued around the place, taking time to highlight an outdoor patio and grilling space, and the walk-in pool + hot tub combo in their turf-covered backyard. This all might seem like a lot for Faze to spend on a group of gamers, but the investment is well warranted. The Nuke Squad exploded in popularity following the release of Warzone in 2020, and now the group has accumulated 300k subscribers and millions of video views along the way. It looks like they won’t be the only ones living here though, as multiple times throughout the house reveal Swagg teased that someone new would be moving into the guest house in short order.

FaZe Swagg shows off rare $30k sneaker collection with Off White Jordans & Dior 1s Nike/Instagram: swagg_FaZe Swagg has become one of the most prolific Warzone players in the world, and is celebrating in serious style if his insane sneaker collection is anything to go by. Swagg has become a huge name on YouTube with his Call of Duty gameplays, but the release of Warzone really helped him blow up further. He’s one of the top 10 highest earning players in the CoD battle royale title, including winning both Toronto Ultra $100k tournaments in August 2020 and March 2021. Naturally, Swagg has done what any other sneakerhead would, and is putting his hard-earned money towards making sure his collection is second to none. To his credit, he’s doing a pretty good job of it too. FaZe Swagg’s $30k sneaker collection In his March 12 YouTube upload, Swagg shows off his collection, claiming that it costs around $30,000 — providing StockX prices for each and every one along the way. The collection features some of the rarest sneakers you could find. Including multiple pairs of rare Jordans, SB Dunks and even the Dior Jordan 1s, here’s what Swagg showed off: Nike Air Force 1 VLONE – Balenciaga Speed Trainer – Air Jordan 11 University Blue – Adidas NMD Hu Pharrell – Adidas Human Race NMD Pharrell (Holi Festival) – Air Jordan 1 Bred – Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard 3.0 – Air Jordan 4 Union – Nike Kobe 5 Bruce Lee – Adidas NMD R1 Pharrell – Jordan Hydro Slide 12 OVO – Air Jordan 12 OVO – Nike SB Dunk Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Dunky – Nike Air Max 97 MSCHF x INRI Jesus Shoes – Air Jordan 1 x Off-White University Blue – Air Jordan 1 Travis Scott – Air Jordan 1 x Dior – The Dior Jordan 1s alone are worth almost $10,000 (Canadian) and are by far the most expensive pair in Swagg’s collection. The Off-White Jordan 1s are little over $2000 while others, such as the Air Max 97s, Ben & Jerry’s Dunks and Travis Scott Jordan 1s are all around $1-2k. Needless to say, Swagg will be the envy of any collector watching this, and we can’t imagine what his collection will be worth in years to come.

FaZe Swagg roasts Trainwreck’s “goofy” style after Warzone tournament Twitter, @Swagg / Twitter, @Trainwreckstv[jwplayer br5AuoVJ]After winning the $100,000 Toronto Ultra Warzone tournament, FaZe Swagg posted a picture in celebration. After immediately having his style roasted by Trainwrecks, the Warzone streamer has clapped back. You just won a lot of money in a daylong tournament and met up with a few friends afterwards to celebrate. You feel good, think you look good, and post a picture on Twitter wearing matching sneakers with one of your buddies. Another friend comments, gassing you up for looking “sexy as hell,” but suddenly, he proceeds to roast your shoes for the whole world to see. What do you do? Well, if you’re Swagg, you clap back with quickness. Swagg and his longtime friend, JSmoothHD, have matching Tactical Nuke chains, FaZe Clan gear, and white-on-white Air Max 97’s. That’s what friends are for; going out and eating steak to celebrate a gaming tournament win (and maybe wearing some matching clothes along the way). But friends are also here for roasts, as Trainwrecks proved true by immediately taking offense to one part of Swagg’s outfit. Insistent that he will “keep it a buck” and does not care “what rappers wear,” Trainwrecks took aim at Swagg’s sneakers. lookin sexy as hell, but ima keep it a buck with you, idc what rappers wear those shoes, they ugly as hell – lookin like a cross walk woman mixed with a 67 year old cyclist wearing reflective gear — Trainwreck (@Trainwreckstv) August 7, 2020 Summarizing the Air Maxes, which are an objective streetwear icon, as “ugly as hell,” Mr. Wrecks then proceed to equate Swagg with a “crosswalk woman mixed with a 67-year-old cyclist wearing reflective gear.” He obviously has a very specific vision in mind, and one has to imagine that “crosswalk woman” refers to school crossing guards who wear reflective vests. One thing is abundantly clear: Trainwrecks doesn’t care if those sneakers are popular among rappers (or know that they are actually popular across much of the world) and believes that wearing them makes you look like an older person concerned with incoming traffic. And, in response, it is clear that Swagg is unbothered and does not believe he is the one who lacks fashion sense. In his retort, the newfound tournament champion kept it simple and let the Scuffed Podcast host know that he is “goofy” and probably wears every American teenager’s preferred set of footwear: Vans. And through this saga we are all reminded of the simple fact that friends should feel free to match with each other and, at all times and across all mediums, roast each other.

FaZe Swagg shows off his brand-new dream car earned through Twitch and YouTube YouTube: Swagg/FazeTwitch streamer and online personality Kris “Swagg” Lamberson has finally bought his dream car and revealed it to his fans. His vehicle of choice was the Mercedes AMG GTS Brabus 600 and it’s fair to say it looks incredible. When you finally decide to buy your dream car, it’s important you’re satisfied with every aspect of the vehicle. From the color to the interior, it has to be perfect if you’re going to be spending a hefty amount of money on it. Well, FaZe Swagg certainly ensured every aspect of his dream Mercedes AMG GTS Brabus 600 was designed to his taste, buying the vehicle from the factory and requesting a number of personal additions. Although the car no doubt came with a huge price tag, there’s no denying how great the vehicle looks. FaZe Swagg reveals his brand new Mercedes After testing and trying out multiple vehicles, FaZe Swagg finally decided to purchase a Mercedes AMG GTS. The online personality unveiled the vehicle in his latest YouTube video and even blogged him collecting the car from the delivery truck. Swagg also revealed that he’d tried out both a Porsche and an Audio R8, but they both had very little legroom. The Mercedes on the other hand had plenty of space and came with the exact interior he was looking for. “The reason why I chose this car was just because it stands out, it looks beautiful, the red interior was just something I always wanted in a car… it literally got all the checkmarks for me.” While appearance is one thing, the Mercedes AMG GTS has an unbelievable top speed of 201 mph, so the vehicle is certainly no slouch when it comes to power. Topic starts at 0:53 It’s obvious Swagg is over the moon with his dream car and all the custom addition he requested from Mercedes. While the Miami Blue exterior won’t be to everybody’s taste, there’s no denying that it stands out. We’ll have to keep an eye on Swagg’s YouTube channel to see if he buys any more cars and potentially starts a collection.

FaZe StableRonaldo suddenly banned on Twitch FaZe ClanFaZe Clan’s Rani “StableRonaldo” Mach has been banned on Twitch for an undisclosed reason. StableRonaldo is one of FaZe Clan’s bigger personalities as a former Fortnite pro who has amassed a massive audience since his transition to content creation. The creator confirmed his ban after it was posted on the StreamerBans X account, but did not give a reason for his unexpected ban. The young creator said he took a break from streaming for a long time due to personal reasons and had only started back up again this month. “This month has felt unreal and the amount of support I’ve been receiving on stream and off by my community made me realize how much I loved streaming. I’m begging you Twitch to please unban me nothing will happen again,” he said on social media. His return to streaming came with the release of the OG Fortnite map. FaZe StableRonaldo banned on Twitch The content creator initially gained his following due to his success as a Fortnite pro. He won the FNCS in 2019 and continued to compete into 2022. However, he quit competitive gaming when he joined FaZe and started his career as a streamer/ content creator. StableRonaldo joined FaZe Clan in 2022 as the competitor was tapped by the organization to join its brand. StableRonaldo peaked in terms of viewership in 2021 but has since seen a dip as Fortnite waned in popularity. He has since switched more to creating YouTube content and streaming other titles. The creator made headlines in July for a beef with Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins after Ninja made fun of StableRonaldo’s dwindling viewership numbers. The two exchanged words over social media, with other FaZe members getting involved. There is no word on when StableRonaldo will be unbanned from Twitch. Many of his fans, however, have called for him to try out streaming on Kick in the meantime.

FaZe Swagg leaves Twitch to sign exclusive YouTube Gaming deal YouTube: FaZe ClanCall of Duty streamer and Nuke Squad member Kris ‘FaZe Swagg’ Lamberson has signed an exclusive streaming deal with YouTube Gaming, joining the likes of TimTheTatman, Ludwig, and more. Over the last few years, more and more Twitch streamers have made the switch to YouTube Gaming, signing exclusive contracts to broadcast on the platform. 100 Thieves co-owners Valkyrae and CouRage were among the first to do so, with DrLupo, TimTheTatman, Ludwig, and more following suit. Now FaZe Swagg has made his way to YouTube Gaming, revealing the exclusive deal in the “biggest announcement” of his career. FaZe Swagg moves from Twitch to YouTube Gaming In the shock announcement, FaZe Swagg will be directing his following of over 4.5 million fans throughout social media exclusively to YouTube to see his live content. Excited to make the announcement, the Nuke Squad founder said: “The framework they are laying is setting the bar in the live streaming and gaming space so it feels like a natural fit. I can’t wait for my fans to see how much this elevates their experience within my streams.” Santiago Baranda, Head of Gaming Creators for YouTube said that Swagg “represents the best in gaming” and they cannot wait to see what he builds for his growing community on the platform. At the time of writing, Swagg’s main YouTube channel has over 2.5 million subscribers, and he has amassed over 700k subscribers throughout his second and third channels, as well as the official Nuke Squad account that features popular FaZe members Swagg, JSmooth, Booya, and Santana. It’s unknown when his first stream on the platform will take place, but it’s clear that fans are excited to check out what he accomplishes on YouTube Gaming.

FaZe Sensei in Talks with Adam Saleh for Future Boxing or Sparring Match FaZe Sensei and Adam Saleh’s beef is finally coming to a head, as both YouTubers agreed to a fight after a series of videos. Martial arts trainer and FaZe Clan fitness instructor Isiah “Sensei” Ocasio-Pantoja is now in talks with YouTuber and prankster Adam Saleh for an upcoming fight. While the two spoke about a fight earlier this year, things seem to be heating up after Sensei called out Saleh in a YouTube video on August 31. In the video, Sensei stated that Saleh had been ignoring him due to Sensei’s smaller following, although commenters were suggesting a match between the two on various social media platforms. “I don’t know how he can keep up saying that he wants to compete with someone and saying all these names… and yet I show my skills on the card, and he’s just completely ignoring me.” Saleh has since responded to Sensei’s callout video, addressing it toward the end of a vlog. He stated that he’d suggested other daytime trainers for Sensei to fight, and felt that a match between he and Jake Paul would make sense due to their shared weight class – but ultimately conceded. “I’m not scared of you, and I’ll spar you any day you want.” Saleh likewise suggested that they have a match for themselves, and not be part of the KSI vs Logan Paul Rematch under-card. Sensei responded to Saleh’s agreement and said the reason for the fight wasn’t based on any real beef, but rather a desire from fans to see the two throw down. “I am going to take you up on the sparring match. We are definitely going to make that happen. I also want to do a basketball match… we can have fun, we can do three on three with your boys.” Both YouTubers expressed a shared admiration for one another, citing similar interests of basketball and fighting. Sensei fought on the Logan Paul vs KSI fight card against fellow YouTuber ‘Overtflow’ and won, knocking his opponent down twice. Saleh has also fought as a professional boxer.

FaZe Sensei responds to Jake Paul’s boxing match challenge Jake Paul / FaZe SenseiResponding to a call-out from popular YouTube personality Jake Paul, Isiah ‘Sensei’ Ocasio of the FaZe Clan seems ready to put on some 8oz gloves to settle the beef. Following a majority draw in their first bout on August 25, 2018, YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to get back in the ring for a rematch in the Los Angeles Staples Center on November 9. While the undercard for the popular main-event currently features a number of professional boxers and even the likes of undefeated world champion Billy Joe Saunders, there’s a good chance we see additional YouTubers thrown into the mix, such as Logan’s brother Jake Paul. Jake, who earned a fifth-round TKO victory over KSI’s brother Deji Olatunji at the first event, has made it clear that he’s looking for an opponent for the upcoming undercard. In a recent clip, he essentially called out FaZe Sensei, another popular YouTube personality who similarly earned himself a TKO victory against Overtflow at the first KSI/Logan Paul bout. “There’s another guy named FaZe Sensei, who got a million views on the re-upload of his fight,” Jake Paul said, alluding to the prospect of lining up a boxing match against the FaZe member. :eyes: I mean if he’s asking for it.. :shrug::skin-tone-4:♂️ pic.twitter.com/O6AR2qNQ8k — Isiah Ocasio (@FaZe_Sensei) September 17, 2019 FaZe Sensei responded to the comments made by Jake Paul, Tweeting: “I mean if he’s asking for it…” He also followed up on Instagram, stating that “I never called @jakepaul out because I didn’t think he would be willing to fight me. Let’s give him what’s he wants. #FaZeUp.” Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn recently commented on the potential of adding Jake Paul to the undercard, stating that “it’s just about strategy moving forward. We can’t make our business like, ‘Oh yeah, everybody – do you wanna go? Do you wanna go? There’s got to be strategy and there’s got to be skill.” Thus, it remains to be seen whether Jake Paul will even be competing on the undercard, let alone if his opponent will be FaZe Sensei or any other YouTube personality for that matter. KSI vs Logan Paul Part 2 will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA on November 9, 15 months following their initial matchup, which ended up in a famous draw.

FaZe Rug tests popular TikTok food hacks so you don’t have to FaZe Rug – YouTubeAfter seeing an abundance of food “hacks” on TikTok, FaZe Clan’s Brian ‘Rug’ Awadis decided to try a few of them out for himself. FaZe Rug is the organization’s biggest YouTuber, commanding a whopping 14 million subscribers, and he’s mostly done so just by creating entertaining videos that cover a variety of topics. His upload on February 8 saw him testing all sorts of food hacks he learned from TikTok, and it’s pretty much a mixed bag of things that look like they’d be good combinations nobody would ever think of. For example, Chick-fil-A fries covered in ranch, buffalo, and BBQ sauce sound like they’d actually be good, and Rug would agree with that sentiment. However, we can’t imagine too many people would ever think to squirt a banana pepper into ketchup, and then sprinkling a packet of salt and pepper on top of it. As it turns out, that ended up being delicious as well. At one point, he orders a McDonald’s ice cream cone and tries to make a sandwich out of it with a pair of cookies, only to have it fail miserably and become incredibly messy. Their dessert isn’t exactly comparable to the type you’d use in a normal ice cream sandwich, so it’s not surprising to see this one not work out great. All in all, it looks like most of the hacks actually managed to enhance the food in some way, even covering a pickle with crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. He does explain that this one is alright, but it’s not as good as the others he tried earlier in the video. In today’s day and age where anything could go viral, it’s hard to know what to trust online. We’ve all seen some suspect looking advice become popular on social media before, so it’s fair to question what you see from time to time. Luckily, this time we had FaZe Rug to count on to test out the viral hacks himself and let us know what’s good and what isn’t.

FaZe Santana receives death threats following bust-up with FaZe Clan owners Rain, Banks, more Instagram: theboisantanaFaZe Clan and Nuke Squad content creator Santana has revealed that he’s been receiving death threats since his viral bust-up with FaZe stalwarts and co-founders like Rain and Banks. For several months now, Nordan ‘Rain’ Shat — one of the most popular members of FaZe Clan — has spoken out several times against the organization, citing questionable decisions and business practices and hitting out at the people who are now in charge, claiming that they don’t understand FaZe. In the meantime, FaZe has seen its value on the Nasdaq drop dramatically since launching at a $1Bn valuation, and is reportedly looking to go private already despite only launching on the stock exchange in July 2022, as they are at risk of being delisted. Things came to a head in late May, though, when FaZe Clan announced their newest creator Grace ‘bluefille’ Van Dien, the actress who portrayed Chrissy in Stranger Things — something Rain leaked several days prior. Santana hits out at FaZe Clan OGs After much backlash to the announcement, with fans questioning why Van Dien would get in over other top creators who have spent years grinding to be in FaZe, Santana declared himself “disappointed” by the responses. Then, when a fan said that Santana’s opinion was “irrelevant” because he wasn’t a FaZe OG, Santana simply said “Where are they now?”, prompting the former FaZe founders and co-owners to hit back. After that, the drama went into overdrive, with Santana deleting his tweets and going live on Twitch to try to explain his point of view. Santana receives death threats Now, several days later, Santana has posted a screenshot of a Direct Message he received. It said “Crybaby fatass, I’ll be sure to catch you in LA soon, don’t be surprised. Don’t let your ego get to your head. We will smoke you.” Santana posted the message alongside his own response, saying: “I promise yall the online beef you have with me is never serious enough to threaten my life… It’s a one-way street I know y’all didn’t like what I said but this ain’t it.” In the aftermath of the drama, all three parties have received a heaped mix of both support and hate, with Grace even making her Twitter account private at the time of writing. Needless to say, FaZe Clan will want to get this entire ordeal under control before it gets even more out of hand.

FaZe Rug “scared” after fan shows up at his home FaZe Rug, YouTubePopular YouTuber and FaZe Clan member Brian “FaZe Rug” Awadis was left stunned after a fan showed up to his family home twice in a three-day span, leading the vlogger to make an urgent plea to his viewers. While being a famous YouTuber might seem like a cake-walk, many top online entertainers suffer from serious breaches of personal privacy due to overenthusiastic fans — an issue FaZe Rug was unfortunately faced with in early May. The FaZe content creator posted a Tweet on May 10 insinuating that he may have to move to another home, which he clarified with a series of videos shortly thereafter. According to Awadis, a fan had shown up to his family home in California while he was playing basketball outside, asking if he could have a place to stay and claiming that his parents had kicked him out. Noting that he felt uncomfortable with the situation, Rug politely declined, and threatened to call law enforcement after the fan attempted to guilt-trip him and refused to leave the property. “We mentioned this a billion times, we really don’t appreciate when fans come to my house,” the YouTuber explained to his viewers. “We want you guys to respect our privacy. We definitely appreciate the ones that do.” I’m also very upset because I finally grew to love this house I’m in and it feels like home now. But shit happens can’t complain. https://t.co/yN6oXAtSEz — Rug (@FaZeRug) May 10, 2020 While the fan eventually left, he returned three days later, with Awadis claiming that the stranger was laying down on his back with his arms crossed on his driveway. After being approached by Rug and his family, the stranger ran away, only to be detained by a security officer and later detained by law enforcement. “He’s just like, ‘Yo, Rug, I thought you were nice, I thought you were gonna welcome me into your home, but I guessed wrong,’” Awadis continued. “And I’m like, dude, what?” Rug later discovered that the fan had escaped from a mental institution in Virginia — meaning they had made a 37-hour trek to show up at the YouTuber’s house. While Awadis expressed that he hoped the fan was doing well and “gets the help he needs,” he reiterated the importance of respecting one’s personal boundaries — a right that was breached in a serious way and frightened his entire family, in the process.

FaZe Rug surprised with dream car after girlfriend destroys his G Wagon FaZe Rug, YouTubePopular content creator and FaZe Clan member Brian ‘Rug’ Awadis was left stunned after his girlfriend Kaelyn and cousin Anthony “destroyed” his Mercedes G Wagon before surprising him with his dream car, a new Rolls Royce Phantom 8. Since he first started with Call of Duty trickshot videos, FaZe Rug has gone on to build a massive online following, with over 17 million subscribers following his main channel for his entertaining vlogs. The YouTuber is best known for his hilarious prank videos, but during his latest upload, he was finally the victim of one of these cruel pranks. In his October 27 video, Rug’s girlfriend Kaelyn and cousin Anthony decided to prank the content creator while he was inside a store, shopping and filming for one of his upcoming food vlogs. Shortly after he walked into the store, Kaelyn and Anthony went straight for his car in the parking lot, “destroying” the G Wagon by tagging it with different drawings and insults, before hiding nearby to catch his reaction. After the content creator eventually left the store and realized what had happened, he was devastated by the damage that had been done to his car, “we come out and my car has paint on it, this is actually not okay.” However, after quickly realizing that the paint on his car could be washed off, Rug went back to his house where a brand new Rolls Royce Phantom 8 was parked in his driveway. After being surprised by Kaelyn and Anthony, who confirmed they were the ones who vandalized his G Wagon, Rug revealed that the Arctic White Rolls Royce Phantom, which costs $450,000 for a base model at retail, was actually his “dream car.” Unfortunately for the FaZe star, the excitement from the surprise did not last too long after his girlfriend explained that it was, in fact, a “double prank” and that the new Rolls Royce wasn’t his to keep. Although he couldn’t keep the car, Rug still remained hopeful about getting a Phantom for himself in the future and revealed that the devastating prank had inspired him to get his revenge.

FaZe Rug reveals new management signing in “natural next step” for his career YouYube: FaZe RugBrian ‘FaZe Rug’ Awadis has signed with Excel Sports Management, marking the first time a gaming creator has signed with the same team that has worked with names Taylor Swift, NFL QBs Marcus Mariota and Eli Manning, and more. FaZe Rug is one of the biggest names in the gaming scene, and after branching out into new areas of entertainment (like starring in a feature film) the longtime red-and-black brand member is looking to try even more new things. This signing not only puts him on the same team as a number of incredibly famous individuals, but it also gives him the platform to shoot for more ambitious projects than could be achieved by Rug and FaZe Clan alone. FaZe Rug signs with Excel Sports Management following film debut The biggest change in direction for Rug came in the form of Crimson, a 2020 Horror/Thriller that saw the gamer starring as himself in a fight against sinister forces that lived close to home. He also took part in the YouTube Originals series #1 Chicken, which saw eight creators compete in Fear Factor-style competition in hopes of avoiding being labeled the biggest ‘chicken’ of the group. This other kind of in-front-of-the-camera work has clearly been something the young star is keen to explore, he explained as much in the press release that made the move official. “I’ve spent the better part of my life navigating and leading the way in content creation and this is a natural next step in my career,” Awadis explained. “I’m so excited to continue to bring content to my fans who have been with me since day one.” While it’s not clear just yet what the YouTuber’s next move will be, he’s clearly confident that this was the next step to getting to his goals.

FaZe Rug reveals why he and girlfriend Kaelyn broke up after five years YouTube: FaZe RugYouTuber FaZe Rug and Kaelyn have revealed in an emotional video that they’ve broken up, and this time it’s not a prank. Brian “FaZe Rug” Awadis is the director of FaZe clan and has a huge following on YouTube with 19 million subscribers, where he’s well-known for pranking his close friends and family, and sometimes even his viewers. Brian first started dating Kaelyn back in 2016 before he rose to the level of online fame he has now, although they only made the relationship public on Valentine’s Day in 2020. The pair have become hugely loved by their fanbase, frequently making videos together and even collaborating on pranks. Only in April, they fooled a huge crowd into thinking she had rejected his proposal to marry her. Back in August 2020, fans thought the pair had broken up after Rug posted a video titled “She broke up with me…” in which Kaeyln went to go get surgery, and while she was heavily medicated, tried to break up with Rug before laughing that it was just a prank. But this time, Rug posted a video revealing that this time, they really had broken up. He began by saying that they’d originally filmed the video a month before because they wanted to see if any attraction to one another would come back: “we wanted to be 100% certain.” They explained that the reason was that they didn’t feel the same way about each other anymore, clearing up that there were no arguments or cheating involved at all, and that they had spent a long time trying to make it work before making a decision. Kaelyn added that having a relationship in the public eye was far harder than she had anticipated: “having people criticize your every move is crazy, I never thought that would get to me.” Even working out how to reveal their break up to viewers was incredibly stressful, Brian said. The pair confirmed that they would always be friends, confirming they would share their dog Lola with each other, and even teasing that Kaelyn might still appear in some of Brian’s future videos.

FaZe Rug gives tour of $10 million home with golf course & movie theater Instagram: FaZe RugPopular YouTuber and FaZe Clan member Brian “FaZe Rug” Awadis has revealed the inside of his $10 million house in a brand new house tour. FaZe Rug is part of esports league FaZe Clan, a former member of the Clout Gang and YouTuber, posting vlogs, comedy, and pranks. Rug is the most successful member of the clan with more than 16 million YouTube subscribers. It was only in January that Rug showed off a $10 million house that he rented for the night to his millions of subscribers, complete with a fully functioning train, basketball court. Now he has one of his own. Unsurprising to many of his fans, Rug has two giant floor-to-ceiling art pieces of Kobe Bryant and Drake at either end of his hugely long corridor, both painted by Sarah Rasul. The house is filled with many other art pieces with most including designer logos such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Among them are paintings of Kanye West’s first-ever Yeezy design for Nike. The house has features that the majority of us could only dream of. Rug shows off his mini golf course, heated swimming pool, soundproof movie theatre, gym room, and a giant light-up bar with chandeliers. Every bedroom in the house has a full ensuite, and each room has an iPad to control lighting, music, and even the pool heater. The movie theater is soundproof and features a ceiling with light-up stars. Rug said that OG fans will know that his Rolls Royce also has a starry ceiling. No house of Rug’s would be complete without a dedication to his two pups Bosley and Lola, and Rug has gone to the extreme with a custom made out-house especially for them, with an indoor and outdoor area that has been made coyote- and snake-proof. He even has two multicolor portraits of the pups in the bathroom in his master bedroom. Outside, Rug has a huge yard next to his solar panel heated pool, a garden and another large orchard space further away from the house, which Rug says will be demolished and something else will be built, adding “I’m sure a lot of you guys can already guess what it is.” Fans in the comments predict the space will become a basketball court with the FaZe logo, which would really amplify this insane home to 11. This comes only a short while after fellow FaZe Clan member NICKMERCS unveiled his insane new house in the Michigan suburbs, complete with pool, home gym and his iconic streaming cave that was the envy of just about every gamer. Needless to say, FaZe Clan and its members are obviously doing something right.

FaZe Rug Passes out while Skydiving for his 10 Million Sub Special YouTuber FaZe Rug went skydiving in a video to celebrate 10 million subscribers on his channel. Things did not go according to plan as he lost consciousness multiple times in mid-air. Thankfully, he had an instructor with him who stayed perfectly conscious throughout the skydive. FaZe Rug’s nerves were evident right before the jump, saying he was having second thoughts and felt light-headed. The jump was filmed and FaZe Rug can be seen going in and out of consciousness, failing to control his head and limbs as the instructor tries to hold him in place. The video is below, with the skydiving section starting at the 5:00 minute mark. Rug described what happened. The second I looked down and we jumped, that’s when I lost consciousness. I didn’t know what was going on and I don’t remember jumping out of the plane. When we first jumped out I was unconscious, then I opened my eyes and saw that we were in the air, then I passed out again. Then I regained consciousness, I think this happened three times until I actually got a hold of myself.

FaZe Rug gives away thousands of dollars in YouTube Baseball challenge FaZe Rug, YouTubePopular content creator Brian ‘FaZe Rug’ Awadis gave away thousands of dollars to his friends after hosting a baseball-themed challenge series for them to compete in. The FaZe Clan star is best known for his entertaining pranks and Vlog series and has built a massive following of over 14 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. Similarly to Mr Beast, Rug was among the first few creators who also uploaded some unusual challenge videos that have gone viral and has returned with yet another one for his fans. The popular YouTuber decided to return with a Baseball themed challenge this time around, including rewards and cash prizes depending on how many home runs they could score. “Today I’m doing if you hit the home run I’ll buy you anything challenge.” Rug revealed, before breaking down the rules and what was up for grabs for the contestants. Each of those competing in the challenge received ten tries to hit as many home runs as they possibly could, although Rug seemed confident in his prediction that they would not score highly. However, the YouTube star was proven wrong after his friend Romel managed to rack up an incredible score of 6 home runs in total. Not everyone had the same luck as Romel unfortunately, as Rug’s brother and fellow YouTuber Brawadis didn’t manage to get a single home run during the challenge. Romel ended up walking away from the challenge after earning $7,000 as well as a brand new MacBook, a Gucci bag and a pair of Travis Scott x Jordan 1’s. Rug is not the only content creator who is known for giving away insane prizes and rewards to his friends, as stars such as David Dobrik and Mr Beast have also shown their generous side during their videos.

FaZe Rug gives guided tour of $10 million house with water park and train YouTube: FaZe RugPopular YouTuber Brian ‘FaZe Rug’ Awadis took his viewers on a special trip in his January 20 video, giving everyone a guided tour of an incredible five-acre house in San Diego complete with a waterpark, basketball court, and a fully-functioning train. With revenues and sponsorship growing among YouTube creators, it’s no surprise that some of the biggest names in the industry can boast some impressive properties, but FaZe Rug took things to the next level when he rented out a massive mansion in San Diego, California, spending $2,500 to rent the property for the night at what he claims is the “most expensive house” on the planet. The property is currently valued at $9.9 million, and the YouTuber spent some time showing off the incredible house in his latest video. Driving into the gated residence, Rug was immediately blown away, as the massive playground for children, volleyball court, and full-sized basketball court immediately came into view. To even see the waterpark, which includes two gigantic slides going into a massive pool, plus the soccer pitch, the YouTuber had to hop in a golf cart and drive around, as walking the five-acre property would take too long. Not only does the main house have seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, but the property comes with two guest houses, and a studio apartment, meaning that a grand total of 44 people can stay on the premises, and with so many activities, it’s a major doubt that anyone would get bored. Rug even managed to get behind the wheel of the train, driving around the complex while drawing carriages past all the incredible buildings and features of the house. At night, the entire compound is lit with bright lights, with the water slides surrounded by colored LED strips, while the entire back garden turns into an incredible light show. The main house can be rented out for $2,500 a night, and is currently on the market for anyone interested in owning one of the most luxurious and crazy houses in the world. Don’t expect to see FaZe Rug living here permanently though, as even he admitted it was too expensive for him.

FaZe Rug calls out PewDiePie for mocking anti-bullying video: “I think he might hate me” YouTube: PewDiePie, FaZe RugPopular influencer FaZe Rug has released a response to YouTube star Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, after his anti-bullying video caught flak from the Swedish content creator. FaZe Rug is a hugely popular creator in his own right; amassing over 18 million YouTube subscribers, Rug is best known for his affiliation with entertainment org FaZe Clan, as well as his humorous vlogs and over-the-top challenges. However, Rug took his content in a different direction on March 18, where he appeared in a collaborative video with Dhar Mann to raise awareness around bullying in schools. The video included a skit featuring FaZe Rug, with the ultimate message being that it’s okay to be shy, since big-name content creators like himself and many others have managed to find success in spite of their quiet natures. While the video went over well with audiences, it seems that PewDiePie (alongside fellow YouTuber CinnamonToastKen) weren’t huge fans of the skit, who poked fun at what they called an “extremely awkward” video for potentially selling an unrealistic message to viewers. Read More: Top 5 most influential TikTok pets – “There’s nothing wrong with being shy, obviously, but I also don’t think it should be highlighted as, ‘It’s great,’” PewDiePie said. “…this is like the lottery of YouTube content, right? You’re selling people a dream that doesn’t exist. To me, at least.” Two days later, Rug uploaded his own response to their reaction, clarifying that he had nothing but respect for PewDiePie but hoped to get his own point across regarding the intention of his collaborative skit in encouraging shy kids. Read More: MrBeast stuns fan with $30k prize – That’s not all; he also wondered if PewDiePie disliked him, referencing an older video where the YouTube star purportedly called him a “mole rat-looking twig.” “I think PewDiePie might hate me,” he said. “…I’ve always had a feeling that PewDiePie had something against me. I don’t really mind anymore, because it’s PewDiePie. Respect to him. Something I can’t control, man.” While the three content creators certainly have their differences, they did agree that many of the biggest influencers (including themselves) started out when they were fairly shy, and over time, managed to get more comfortable in front of the camera. “I think the main thing to understand was that the intention wasn’t ill,” Rug said of his video. “Even though the message could have been portrayed better, the intention was to help shy kids break out of their shells.”

FaZe Rug calls out Stokes Twins for ripping off his YouTube thumbnail IG: FaZeRug/ImalexstokesFaZe Clan content creator Brian ‘Rug’ Awadis has hit out at fellow YouTube stars the Stokes Twins, accusing the pair of copying one of his thumbnails. FaZe Clan are an organization that has, in the last few years, transcended their roots as a Call of Duty content creation group. They now host collaborations with some of the world’s biggest brands, including Man City and Burger King. Rug embodies this transcendence better than most. While he has certainly moved away from Call of Duty, he hasn’t lost touch with his audience and regularly entertains them with videos covering a range of topics. With just shy of 18 million subscribers, he is one of the platform’s most popular creators. Back on January 6, Rug released a video titled ‘Testing Viral TikTok Gadgets’. As you can guess, it saw the 24-year-old trying out gadgets seen on TikTok and trying to recreate the videos that made them famous. However, controversy arose when, on January 15, the Stokes Twins uploaded an almost identical video to their channel. It is titled “Testing VIRAL TikTok Gadgets To See If They Work!” In the video and its description, the Stokes Twins link FaZe Rug’s original video and thank him for the idea. However, Rug took issue with their behavior, calling out the near-identical thumbnail used by the Stokes. In fact, the only difference between the two thumbnails was the replacement of Rug on the left-hand side. “It’s totally cool to do the same idea because I’ve done the same,” the FaZe Clan creator said, “but copying and pasting the thumbnail is where it’s fucked up.. My thumbnail guy spent hours on it just for it to be completely stolen. Crazy”. It’s totally cool to do the same idea because I’ve done the same, but copying and pasting the thumbnail is where it’s fucked up.. My thumbnail guy spent hours on it just for it to be completely stolen. Crazy lol pic.twitter.com/Ww3JTET4eD — Rug (@FaZeRug) January 15, 2021 As you can see from Rug’s tweet, the two thumbnails do appear to be identical, albeit Rug replaced by one of the twins. Rug’s frustrations seem justified, especially if a lot of hard work went into its original creation, by his own thumbnail designer. It is not the first time the Stokes have found themselves in the middle of some controversy, being charged back in August over fake bank robbery pranks. The prank resulted in an Uber driver being held at gunpoint after Orange County officers arrived.

FaZe Rug gets revenge against address “leaker” after pushing charges Twitter: FaZe RugFaZe Clan YouTuber Brian ‘Rug’ Awadis has gotten revenge against a social media user who was leaking his address, with the ‘doxxer’ reportedly getting fined, arrested, and forced to shut down all social media accounts after the harassment. Doxxing is a serious issue in the online community. Popular content creators are constantly having their personal information leaked, including their home addresses. Having this information out in the open can have drastic consequences. Streamers have been “swatted” in the past, with people using their addresses maliciously to try and get the police to break into their house. While “swatters” have been arrested and charged in the past, “doxxers” have often avoided the same fate. However, after having his address leaked, FaZe Rug took action to try and get revenge. The streamer has had his address plastered all over the internet for years. However, a viral TikTok brought the information back into the limelight. Segment begins at 3:15. “A lot of people have been posting my address on TikTok, which is kind of messed up,” Rug said back in March. “Yeah, it got leaked back in the day, but to bring it [back] up and get it popping again — that’s where it kind of gets disrespectful.” The TikTok reached 10 million views after being promoted on the “For You” section. Rug asked the poster to take it down, although they initially ignored the YouTuber’s request. Awadis then reached out on Instagram. “I’m having random people actually come to my house because of it. You wouldn’t like that if it was happening to you, so out of respect, remove the video please,” he said in the private message. The poster replied saying they would take it down, but they re-uploaded it two days later. Dude who’s been leaking my address just got arrested / fined $7,500 and all his social media’s got taken down.. 💀😂 Doxxing ain’t cool — Rug (@FaZeRug) August 19, 2020 Months later, Rug tweeted that he got a person who was leaking his address arrested. “Dude who’s been leaking my address just got arrested and fined $7,500, and all his social media [accounts] got taken down. Doxxing ain’t cool,” the FaZe star said on Twitter. While it’s unclear as to whether it’s the same person he called out back in March, it’s a victory not just for Rug, but all content creators who have had their addresses leaked. Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney, who was the target of a “swatting” back in 2018, celebrated for Rug. “That’s good news, kids these days don’t understand how serious some of that sh*t is,” Tenney said. That’s good news 💪 kids these days don’t understand how serious some of that shit is — Tfue (@Tfue) August 19, 2020 The move could potentially set a precedent for other content creators to follow Rug’s steps. With there being legal consequences, people might think twice before putting private information of stars out there.

FaZe Rug addresses accusations of “milking” dog’s death for views YouTube: FaZe RugYouTube star FaZe Rug has addressed accusations of milking the death of his family dog, Bosley, for views after he published a video and several social posts on the topic. FaZe Rug is a popular influencer best known for his presence on YouTube, where he boasts over 24 million subscribers and uploads a variety of viral content. As a member of FaZe Clan, Rug is part of a massive collective of other major creators including the likes of FaZe Banks, FaZe Adapt, FaZe Temperrr, and more. While he’s usually held in high esteem by his fans, Rug came under scrutiny on November 15 after uploading a YouTube video mourning the loss of his pet dog, Bosley, alongside his family. FaZe Rug faces criticism over video mourning death of pet dog The video, titled ‘rest in peace, bosley,’ showed Rug and his family breaking the news of Bosley’s passing to his fans. During the video, Rug’s family — his mother, father, and brother — openly weep while discussing the subject and remembering their pet’s presence in their lives. However, Rug wasn’t the only one to make a video about Bosley. His other family members also uploaded videos about the situation on their own channels, resulting in three total videos showing the family grieving the loss of their beloved pet. While many fans were sympathetic toward Rug in the wake of his loss, some netizens felt he was doing too much and even accused him and his family of “milking” Bosley’s death for views. Still others noticed that he had monetized the video. “FaZe Rug, no hate or anything especially at this hard time, but why would you monetize a video like this?” one user pointed out on Twitter/X. “I just don’t think it’s right to monetize your dog’s death. Condolences to your family Rug.” “Faze Rug really wanted to cash in on his dog’s death,” another said. “This is crazy behavior.” FaZe Rug responds to claims of “milking” dog’s death for views A day later, Rug addressed the negative reactions to he and his family’s videos in a series of posts on Twitter/X. “At first we made the one video to break the news, but we all wanted to share our own stories about Bosley for our own channels as well, and wanted the whole family there,” he wrote. “As I understand why you guys think this is wrong, I also want you guys to understand that this is the first time we’ve ever dealt with something this serious and we just wanted to inform you guys on our own YouTube channels.” That’s not all; Rug also claimed that he would be “donating every penny” he makes from his videos to Hope for Paws, an animal rescue foundation. The issue seems to have divided fans, some of whom are on Rug’s side, while others continue to criticize the YouTuber for how he and his family handled the situation.

FaZe Rug announces Rugrats-themed merch collab with Nickelodeon FaZe ClanFaZe Clan star Brian ‘Rug’ Awadis has revealed his very own merchandise collaboration with Nickelodeon, as the social media celeb centers his latest drop around Rugrats. When it comes to merch collabs in the gaming space, FaZe Clan is often pushing the envelope on what’s possible. Whether it’s high-profile partnerships with the NFL, Nascar, or even DC, to unique offerings with renowned artists like Takashi Murakami, there’s always something for fans to be excited about. Now, FaZe Rug has revealed his very own collaboration on the way. Rather than a broad, company-wide collab, this is a smaller deal, just with Rug’s own merchandise in focus. Though the partnership comes with yet another major entertainment brand as the content creator teams up with Nickelodeon. FaZe Rug collabs with Rugrats in new merch collection Together, FaZe Rug and Nickelodeon are launching ‘The Galavers,’ a limited-time merch drop focusing on Rugrats, the iconic 90s cartoon. “Rugrats was a huge part of my childhood, being home with my family watching episode after episode which ultimately played a role in the development of my personal brand. My fans call themselves Rugrats for a reason,” FaZe Rug said of his latest collab. “We designed this collection to resemble my adventures with the Rugrats as we explore The Galaverse in our own imaginations. A total dream come true for myself and Rugrats fans everywhere.” The Galaverse mech drop is set to go live on Thursday, December 1 at 12PM PT. Fans will have a limited-time to grab their desired items from the collaboration before stock runs out. While specifics are yet to be revealed, we do know to expect unique shirts, hoodies, and mousepads at the very least. Though given the scope of most merch collabs in the space these days, it’s safe to expect a few extra goodies along with that initial batch. Prices are also under wraps for the time being, so there’s no indication of what to expect just yet. We’ll be sure to keep you posted here as further details emerge on the FaZe Rug x Rugrats merch drop.
