HasanAbi Accuses xQc and Destiny of Exploiting His Name for Content

Tensions between Twitch streamers Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker and Steven “Destiny” Bonnell III, along with Felix “xQc” Lengyel, have reached a boiling point as HasanAbi accuses them of incessantly using his name to generate content.

During a recent stream, HasanAbi addressed the issue, expressing his frustration with Destiny and xQc’s repeated mentions of him. He labeled their behavior as “obsessive,” highlighting their tendency to capitalize on his content for their streams:
“I hope that people are at least like a sound mind and they probably recognize that it’s like, obsessive.”

HasanAbi’s discontentment stems from his observation that Destiny and xQc frequently discuss him or react to his content, often repeating each other’s remarks. He criticized this cycle of content creation, suggesting that it amounts to little more than “farming” his name for views:
“For the record, if Destiny is not allowed to talk about me, it’ll be xQc talking to Destiny or talking about me while repeating what Destiny has said. That’s the other part of it.”

He went further to liken their behavior to cyberstalking, emphasizing the repetitive nature of their commentary and its impact on him:
“I hope normal people see that and go, ‘It’s obsessive.’ Because it really is. You must not allow yourself to normalize this as anything but cyberstalking. Because it is. It’s like obsessive, it’s weird.”

HasanAbi’s remarks come in response to recent criticism from Destiny, who characterized him as politically extreme and morally questionable. This exchange underscores the ongoing tension between the streamers, with each side seemingly vying for dominance in the online discourse.

As the feud escalates, it raises questions about the ethical boundaries of content creation and the responsibility of streamers to engage in constructive dialogue rather than perpetuate animosity for the sake of views. Whether this conflict will be resolved amicably or continue to escalate remains to be seen, but for now, HasanAbi remains firm in his criticism of Destiny and xQc’s content practices.
