NELK Boys & SteveWillDoIt slam fans for being kicked out of Jersey house YouTubeThe NELK Boys have come under fire recently for holding multiple large gatherings in the span of just a few days. However, they\u2019ve responded to the backlash, explaining how things are allegedly being misinterpreted. Having blown up on social media throughout 2020, NELK Boys have faced their fair share of criticism as well. The group of pranksters was banned from YouTubejust days ago, and the controversy hasn\u2019t slowed down since. The extremely popular personalities recently came under fire for hosting two enormous gatherings across the United States. In the midst of an ongoing health crisis, huge crowds have gathered for a chance to interact with the internet celebrities. This was a cause for huge concern as streets were filled and security was forced to keep the meetups in order. Since the most recent incidents, Kyle Forgeard of the NELK Boys took to social media to address the drama. Outlining how the media has been getting the narrative \u201cpretty f**king twisted.\u201d While police shut down earlier gatherings, the latest meetups were supposedly kept in line by forces the NELK Boys had hired. This was done in order to \u201cdisperse people and get rid of the crowds\u201d in the midst of the ongoing health crisis \u2014 though the NELK Boys assured they had no intention of causing any big meetups in the first place. \u201cIt might sound stupid, we don\u2019t know how big we are,\u201d Forgeard said. \u201cWe don\u2019t feel famous, we feel normal. We can\u2019t even post a story of where we\u2019re at anymore. People will show up and we\u2019re gonna get in sh*t for starting a large gathering.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s just something we\u2019re going to have to accept,\u201d he added. Regardless of where they are or what they\u2019re doing, fans will seemingly show up out of the blue. https:\/\/twitter.com\/NelkFilmz\/status\/1306030201911083009 \u201cWe\u2019re not used to it and I guess we\u2019re learning the hard way. It sucks that we have to change our style because of how big we are.\u201d From fines for big parties to bans on social media platforms for other meetups, NELK have certainly been in trouble for recent actions. It\u2019s something they\u2019re well aware of, and something they\u2019re actively trying to stop, too, as a new video suggests. Late on September 15, footage emerged of NELK\u2019s SteveWillDoIt angrily confronting fans who were gathering around where they were staying on the Jersey Shore \u2014 one of the huge gatherings that critics have called them out for. In the video, he demands the large group of fans let him speak before letting them know how they\u2019re affecting their work. \u201cYou say you\u2019re fans because you love us, right?\u201d he asked the crowd. \u201cYou\u2019re getting us kicked out on our merch drop day because you\u2019re here\u2026 If you\u2019re here right now, you don\u2019t like us, and I don\u2019t f**k with you. We worked two months for this day, so if you guys stay here, I don\u2019t f**k with any of you.\u201d While many fans and critics alike believe that NELK have been purposely orchestrating these gatherings so as to meet with their fans, it\u2019s starting to look as though the complete opposite is true \u2014 and it could be having a big impact on their work. This is especially pertinent if it affects their merch drops \u2014 which, especially after being permanently demonetized, NELK say they rely solely on for income. How this changes things in the future, and whether NELK Boys fans can resist the temptation to hunt the stars down as they travel across the US, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
