Nico “Sneako,” a streamer on the Rumble platform, has long been a polarizing figure due to his controversial opinions and statements. His notoriety has led to bans on multiple social media platforms and streaming sites. Recently, during an IRL (In Real Life) stream, Sneako faced direct confrontation from viewers who accused him of misogyny and racism.
The contentious stream featured fellow YouTuber Addison “YourFellowArab.” During the broadcast, several viewers approached the duo to voice their concerns. One viewer specifically accused Sneako of misogynistic behavior. Sneako, pointing to a female companion in the stream, retorted:
“Misogyny? You see a woman scratching my head. Is that misogyny? She’s in love. That’s not hate. I love everybody, I spread love speech.”
The viewer, however, was not convinced and responded:
“She’s not representing all the women though.”
Sneako continued to defend himself, asking:
“What women am I misogynistic to?”
When the viewer replied, “Everyone though,” Sneako challenged them to provide specific examples, arguing:
“Okay, do you know what I talk about? What have I said that’s misogynistic? It is funny that you say misogyny is a bad thing but you wanna make me feel bad, you wanna spread hate.”
Another individual then accused Sneako of making racist jokes. Sneako’s response was:
“I joke about every race. That’s how you spread love.”
Sneako’s Recent Controversies
Sneako is no stranger to controversy, often making headlines for his provocative statements. Recently, he criticized Kylie “Sketch” after it was revealed that Sketch had created adult content in the past. Sneako, known for his conservative viewpoints, had this to say about Sketch:
“He lied to you about his life. You’re acting like… two years ago, he was taking up the a** and getting paid for it on OnlyFans. ‘One of the most genuine guys,’ then he would’ve been straight up about his life. What a crazy thing to keep secret!”
In another instance, Sneako targeted Ava Kris Tyson, a member of MrBeast’s crew who has transitioned into a woman. He condemned MrBeast for continuing to associate with Tyson, stating:
“You started this business with Chris Tys on, how are you gonna abandon him now? Everybody’s going to know that it’s bad PR for the fact that you have a trans on your team. You don’t want that, so you’re stuck and I needed to defend this. It’s a stain on your reputation.”
Public Reaction
The public’s reaction to Sneako’s behavior and comments has been mixed. While some support his right to free speech, many others find his comments offensive and harmful. The recent confrontations during his IRL stream highlight the growing discomfort with his controversial takes among mainstream audiences.
Despite the backlash, Sneako continues to maintain his stance, claiming that his comments are often misinterpreted and that his intentions are to promote love and humor. However, the increasing scrutiny from viewers suggests that his approach may not be as universally accepted as he believes.
As Sneako navigates the consequences of his outspoken nature, it remains to be seen how he will address the criticisms and whether he will adjust his content in response to the growing dissent among his audience.
