'Not a real gun': HasanAbi responds to claims he threatened another YouTuber with a gun during livestream
Twitch's most outspoken political streamer, HasanAbi, found himself at the center of controversy again—this time for allegedly threatening a YouTuber with a gun during a livestream.
The internet blew up with reactions, but the real story? It's more complicated (and chaotic) than it sounds. Here's what went down and how Hasan responded.
The Clip That Sparked It All
It started with a 48-second clip from Hasan's July 1, 2025 stream, which went viral two days later on Reddit's r/LivestreamFail. In the video, Hasan reacts to a YouTuber named
Apex Crypto
, who had apparently accused Hasan and fellow political figure
Zohran Mamdani
of treason.
Hasan, clearly ticked off, mocked the YouTuber while holding what looked like a weapon and saying things like,
'Let's hang Hasan and Mamdani for treason,' he says. The f**k are you going to do?! You skinny b**ch! Ugly a**!"
Viewers immediately questioned whether he was pointing a real gun on stream.
Viewers Call Him Out Live
During his July 3 stream, someone in chat dropped a bomb:
'Why did you threaten a YouTuber with a gun?'
Hasan didn't hold back. He immediately clapped back, saying that the YouTuber in question literally said he should be hanged. In Hasan's words,
'Dog, that YouTuber literally said I should be hanged, and I said, 'Good luck,' and I just showed this, and said, 'Good luck with that.''
When asked directly if it was a real gun, Hasan replied:
'Yeah, it's also not a real gun. Don't worry.'
So yeah, it was a
toy
. Hasan made that clear. But not everyone's buying the explanation.
Streamer Reactions: Divided As Always
As usual, fellow creators jumped in with their takes. Asmongold, never one to sit things out, was baffled:
'That's crazy! To pull out a gun and be waving it around on stream! Is Twitch going to do anything?'
Tectone, on the other hand, went full scorched earth on X (formerly Twitter):
'Hasan threatens viewers life, doxxes them and pulls a gun out. No ban. I call fat woman fat = 2 weeks.'
The debate's clearly split between 'It was a joke' and 'That crossed a line.'

So… Will Twitch Respond?
As of now, Twitch hasn't made any public statements or issued disciplinary action. And with Hasan being one of the platform's biggest names, many are wondering if the rules apply differently to him.
Did HasanAbi actually threaten someone? He says no. Was it a real gun? Also no. But did it look sus? For sure. Whether it was edgy humor or poor judgment, the internet court is still in session, and the jury's as divided as ever. Stay tuned. With Hasan, this probably isn't the last chapter.

911 call, then robbery: Indian-origin men arrested in Georgia for bizarre thefts outside their store
Indian-origin Shivamkumar Patel and Anil Yaganti were arrested in Georgia after they reported shoplifting at 911. Two Indian-origin men, Shivamkumar Patel and his friend Anil Yaganti have been arrested by the Marietta police in Georgia in a bizarre case of theft that led to an armed robbery -- but the beginning was a 911 call that the duo made. According to local reports, Patel called 911 and informed the police that he and his friend Yaganti had detained a 32-year-old shoplifter who was stealing from their liquor shop. The shoplifter was identified as Jeremy Minter. Patel and Taganti detained him at gunpoint as Georgia law allows merchants to detain suspected shoplifters under certain circumstances. The Police issued the shoplifter a criminal trespass warning that prohibited him from coming back to the store for five years. But then the police had to return to the same store after they received a call from the shoplifter, who said he was the victim and he was held at gunpoint by the two of them before they called the police. Minter told police that the two men took turns searching his vehicle as well. Later, Minter realized that they stole his handgun from the vehicle. What followed were intensive interviews with all three men, which led the police to believe that the apparent shoplifter was right and there was surveillance footage available in support of what he claimed, while there were discrepancies in the statements of Patel and Yaganti. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Patel and Yaganti were arrested and now face multiple serious charges. Patel has been charged with aggravated assault, armed robbery, entering an automobile with intent to commit theft, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Yaganti faces the same charges, excluding the firearm possession count. Both are being held without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center. No trial date has been announced yet. Their defense is to argu that Patel and Yaganti were responding to a shoplifting incident and that's why they searched his vehicle.
