Trainwreck hits back at claims he stole work from \u201cPG-inspired\u201d artist Twitch: TrainwrecksTVTyler \u2018Trainwreck\u2019 Niknam shut down claims he stole work from an artist without paying him after the accusations blew up on social media, claiming he only agreed to pay for designs he used. Trainwreck has been in the spotlight recently for several reasons. He slammed EA after they banned him from NICKMERCS\u2019 Apex Legends tournament, and more recently, called out Minecraft fans who obsess over Dream and Karl Jacobs. During that battle, he roasted people claiming he didn\u2019t pay artists for their work. \u201cDon\u2019t come at me about stealing from artists. I pay the artists I work with double what you and your parents make in a year,\u201d he said. This prompted an artist to respond. He claimed Train commissioned him to design some artwork to use on his merch but then ghosted him once he received it. He also included screenshots in his post to support his claims. Train denied the claims shortly after. \u201cFirst of all, I made a tweet saying I need new designs by Monday, and if I USE it I will pay you,\u201d he said. \u201cSecond, my name is Trainwreck, not Trainwrecks. Third, I didn\u2019t use your PG-inspired art. That was only the beginning, though. He followed it up with another tweet showing the specific words he used at the time. It clearly says: \u201cthe best one will be voted on and paid well\u201d \u2013 implying it was part of a competition. \u201cThanks for dragging my name through the dirt over lies,\u201d he said before following it up with another post revealing the winner. \u201cFor people still not convinced, here is the winner. F**k cancel culture. They get it wrong and don\u2019t care.\u201d dick head, first of all, I made a tweet saying I need new designs by Monday and if I USE it I will pay you, second my name is Trainwreck not Trainwrecks, third I didn\u2019t use your PG inspired art, you\u2019re all bat shit pic.twitter.com\/ENTMkFxbaJ \u2014 Trainwreck (@Trainwreckstv) November 8, 2021 Train\u2019s fans and friends rushed to his defense. Twitch streamer Brett \u2018dakotaz\u2019 Hoffman, who gained popularity during Fortnite\u2019s peak, was one of the first to speak out. \u201cWolves don\u2019t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep,\u201d he said. The incident is one of many controversies Train\u2019s been caught in. He was also involved in the Twitch gambling debate that waged throughout 2021, though recently he\u2019s considered ending them once and for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
