MoistCr1TiKal's Beef With Sneako Explained

Public feuds aren't exactly uncommon in the world of online streaming, but the beef between MoistCr1TiKal and Sneako is rapidly escalating to new levels of aggression. It arguably began late last year when controversial streamer Niko Kenn De Ballinthazy — better known as Sneako — was banned from YouTube and it has now risen to the level of veiled threats and calls for an official fight.

Last October, Sneako was banned from YouTube for reasons that are still unclear. YouTube released only a vague explanation about violations of its policies, but it was presumably for some of Sneako's offensive statements about women and his apparent relationship with Andrew Tate, another controversial figure who is now facing criminal charges in Romania related to human trafficking. Whatever the reasons, Sneako apparently blamed other streamers, including MoistCr1TiKal, for calling for his "cancellation." He made this claim on Twitter, complete with pictures of his alleged persecutors.

MoistCr1TiKal noticed and was quick to respond with a tweet that got quite personal in its criticism of Sneako. The conflict carried on from there, with the two trading insults, and culminated in Sneako posting a picture of MoistCr1TiKal with a message that read, "like this tweet if you want to see us fight." That's not the end of the story, however.

It's not surprising that the two streamers would find themselves at odds with one another. Sneako is known for offensive statements and MoistCr1Tikal regularly speaks out against behavior that he believes is wrong, having previously joined xQc in condemning gambling streams and voicing his support for Grace Van Dien in her stand against sexual misconduct in the TV and film industry. The lengths to which both streamers are going to one-up one another has become somewhat shocking, however.

During a recent stream, while addressing the fight with MositCr1TiKal, Sneako brandished a handgun and addressed his fellow streamer directly. He also displayed two handgun magazines loaded with rounds while telling MoistCr1TiKal to "watch [his] clips," a play on the word clip as both a gun term and a short video. The video appears to have been deleted from streaming platforms, but it has been preserved — most notably by MoistCr1TiKal himself, who shows pieces of it in his own response video.

Not to be outdone, MoistCr1TiKal, in this response video, further mocked Sneako by correcting his use of gun terminology and also showing off his own weapons: a handgun and a rifle. This video quickly went viral and has exacerbated the situation.

With both parties trading insults, calls for a fight, and now the brandishing of weapons, this feud has certainly escalated quickly. While fans take sides, others are likely hoping that things don't go any further.
