Streamer Destiny allegedly makes a death threat against Hasan Piker after the Twitch star exposes his son's neo-Nazi remarks

Time of India3 days ago
An online controversy has erupted surrounding political streamer Steven Kenneth Bonnell II, known as Destiny, and Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, aka HasanAbi. Destiny is being slammed online after he allegedly shared a message suggesting that it would be "justifiable" to attack or kill fellow streamer Piker over his political statements. The incident comes after the Piker responded to Destiny's teenage son, Nathan's, neo-Nazi remarks.
Streamer Destiny alleges it would be 'justifiable' to attack Hasan Piker
On August 17, 2025, Hasan shared a link to Destiny's Twitch stream, accompanied by a message suggesting that it would be "justifiable" to attack or kill Piker in real life due to his political statements. This message was reportedly shared in Destiny's private Discord server and has since been widely circulated, drawing condemnation from various online communities.
"I honestly think you could perfectly justify attacking/killing Hasan IRL for statements like this. this is just so far beyond the pale it's actually unbelievable," the message read.
Slamming Destiny, who has been banned from Twitch streaming, Hasan in a follow-up post on X wrote, ""instead of taking care of his son, who has now turned into a n**i, this sociopathic cult leader is actively telling his audience that it's moral to kill me in real life because i said Palestinians have a legal right to resist against an illegal occupying force conducting a raid."

Hasan claims Destiny celebrated his harassment
Meanwhile, a clip lasting seven minutes and eleven seconds from HasanAbi's latest livestream was posted on his official subreddit, r/Hasan_Piker. About four minutes into the video, while reacting to supposed messages from Destiny in the "Destinygg" chat room, the Turkish-American streamer claimed that Steven appeared to take pleasure in being "harassed" in real life.
HasanAbi described a disturbing experience, saying, "One of his active cyberstalking sex cult members literally approached me in public, if you recall, when I was at the DNC. He actually celebrated that in his community." He explained that, in the past, Steven had openly encouraged people to come up to him and harass him in real life. HasanAbi went on to say, "Now, he's amplifying that behaviour to his own audience, his own community. Not only is he increasing the intensity, but he's also suggesting that it's justifiable to attack and even kill me in real life." HasanAbi concluded by asserting, "At this point, I think this goes beyond mere drama."
Hasan Piker and Destiny's sons' drama explained
Steven's son, Nathan Bonnell is just 14 but has already built a social media reputation for himself with his neo-Nazi views. On August 14, he left everyone surprised after he said, "Hitler is a Hero" and praised Nazi Germany. The tweet quickly gained attention across social media platforms, leading to discussions about the influence of online personalities on their audiences.
In response to Nathan's tweet praising Adolf Hitler, Hasan Piker commented that the post might be an attempt by Nathan to gain attention from his father. He suggested that Nathan's actions were a form of "flirting with Nazism" and a way to provoke a reaction.
Destiny and Nathan's Relationship
For the unversed, Nathan is Destiny's son his previous relationship with his ex-girlfriend Rachel. Their relationship, while initially private, became more public after a contentious divorce, with Destiny often mentioning the challenges of co-parenting and balancing his growing career as a streamer. Nathan has occasionally appeared in online content, and recent public interactions have hinted at a somewhat complex relationship, with Nathan expressing opinions and political stances very different from his father's, sometimes causing controversy online.

Israel begins Gaza City operation despite ceasefire talks, Hamas blames Netanyahu

Israel's military has launched the opening phase of a ground operation to take control of Gaza City, the largest urban stronghold of Hamas, while the government weighed a new ceasefire plan to pause nearly two years of war.'We have begun the preliminary operations and the first stages of the attack on Gaza City, and already now IDF forces are holding the outskirts of Gaza City,' Brigadier General Effie Defrin, the military's spokesperson, told announcement came alongside a call-up of tens of thousands of reservists, a move that signalled Israel's intent to press ahead despite growing international criticism of an operation expected to drive many more Palestinians from their homes, Reuters reported. Defrin said Hamas was now a 'battered and bruised' guerrilla force. 'We will deepen the attack on Hamas in Gaza City, a stronghold of governmental and military terror for the terrorist organization,' he in the day, a military official suggested reservists would not report for duty until September, leaving room for mediators to keep working on bridging the gaps between Hamas and Israel over a truce deal. But after clashes erupted between Israeli troops and Hamas fighters inside Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said he had sped up the timetable for capturing Hamas in a statement on Telegram, accused Netanyahu of blocking peace efforts. 'Netanyahu's disregard for the mediators' proposal proves that he is the real obstructionist of any agreement,' the group security cabinet this month approved plans to expand the military campaign into Gaza City. The Israeli army says it already controls about 75 per cent of the Gaza Strip, nearly two years after the war erupted on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led gunmen killed 1,200 people in southern Israel and seized 251 Gaza health ministry says over 62,000 Palestinians have been killed since then, most of them women and children, though the toll does not distinguish between civilians and say Hamas has accepted a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that would involve releasing some of the remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. Netanyahu's government has insisted that all 50 hostages still in captivity be freed at once. Israeli officials believe only 20 are tensions rose further after Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a far-right member of Netanyahu's coalition, announced final approval for a new settlement project in the occupied West Bank—an initiative widely condemned internationally and seen as erasing any hope for a Palestinian leaders have urged Israel to pull back from a full-scale assault on Gaza City, warning of massive civilian casualties. Israeli officials say they will open safe routes to help civilians leave before the military pushes deeper into the city.- EndsWith inputs from ReutersTune InMust Watch

US deploys three warships near Venezuelan coast in a bid to curb drug trafficking

The deployment comes as the Trump administration steps up pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, doubling its bounty to $50 million earlier this month on drug charges against the leftist strongman. US President Donald Trump is deploying three warships off the coast of Venezuela as part of efforts to curb drug trafficking, a source familiar with the move said Wednesday. The deployment comes as the Trump administration steps up pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, doubling its bounty to $50 million earlier this month on drug charges against the leftist strongman. The three Aegis-class guided missile destroyers are heading to the waters off Venezuela, the US source told AFP on condition of anonymity. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD US media reported that Washington was also planning to send 4,000 Marines to the region. Washington, which does not recognize Maduro's past two election victories, accuses him of leading the Cartel de los Soles ('Cartel of the Suns') cocaine trafficking gang. The Treasury Department gave the group a special terrorist designation last month, accusing it of supporting the Tren de Aragua and Sinaloa drug cartels, which were labeled foreign terrorist organizations earlier this year. The White House said on Tuesday that Trump would use 'every element' to stop drug trafficking, when asked about the possibility of US boots on the ground in Venezuela. 'President Trump has been very clear and consistent, he's prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice,' Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. Leavitt described the Venezuelan government as a 'narco-terror cartel.' 'And Maduro, it is the view of this administration, is not a legitimate president, he is a fugitive head of this cartel who has been indicted in the United States for trafficking drugs into this country,' she added. Maduro said on Monday that he would be deploying 4.5 million militia members across Venezuela in response to US 'threats.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
