HasanAbi and xQc feud intensifies over Twitch unban controversy
A fresh wave of drama has erupted on Twitch as Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker and Felix "xQc" Lengyel clash once again, this time over a controversial Twitch unban. The latest dispute comes after HasanAbi was swiftly reinstated on the platform on March 4, 2025, just 24 hours after his suspension. While the exact reason for his temporary ban remains undisclosed, it is widely speculated that it stemmed from his remarks about U.S. Senator Rick Scott. After HasanAbi's rapid reinstatement, xQc took to X (formerly Twitter) with a cryptic post that many saw as a jab at the decision. In his post, he used a metaphor suggesting that some people fail to recognize when they are the source of their own problems, stating, "Maybe you are the one who stepped in the st. Or maybe, you are the piece of st." Though he did not name HasanAbi directly, fans quickly connected the dots. HasanAbi didn't hold back during his livestream, firing back at xQc and accusing him of alienating his peers. He claimed that xQc often complained about feeling isolated in the streaming industry while failing to acknowledge how his own behavior contributed to it. "He has actively treated every single content creator in his orbit like s**t, no matter how nice people have been to him," HasanAbi said. The exchange has sparked mixed reactions online, with fans debating the long-standing tensions between the two streamers. Some Reddit users criticized HasanAbi for previous accusations against xQc, while others pointed out xQc's controversial associations.

Will Smith says Zendaya is 'being approached' for possible 'Hancock' sequel
Will Smith is teasing a sequel to his big-screen superhero comedy Hancock. "There's a really cool, really cool Hancock 2 idea," he said Wednesday during an appearance on xQc's Twitch livestream. "We haven't even talked about it, so I'm gonna give you ... one little piece. Zendaya will be being approached for Hancock 2, for a role in Hancock 2." Related: Zendaya returns as Rue in Euphoria season 3 first look, long-delayed production begins The 2008 film featured Smith as the titular superhero, who happens to be a big drinker and pretty bad in general at his job. By the end, he finds his inner superhero-strength. Associates Mary (Charlize Theron), who happens to be his ex-wife, and Jason Bateman's Ray are along for the ride. The movie elicited mixed reviews from critics, but a green light from audiences. It brought in $227.9 million domestically and more than $629 million internationally, according to Box Office Mojo. Director Peter Berg explained back in January 2012, in an interview with that a sequel likely would happen. "It's just a question of timing," the Friday Night Lights director said. "We've been talking about the sequel between us, Will Smith, [producers] Michael Mann, and Akiva Goldman and myself," Berg said. "We're all interested, but we literally just have trouble getting into the same room at the same time. We did have a series of meetings last year and started to hash out an idea for the sequel — and Will Smith actually had the idea — so I think it will happen, it's just a question of timing."Theron indicated in June 2020 that a conversation about bringing the gang back together had fizzled out, but she said she was still game. "We'll be superheroes with our walkers, you know. And I'll still go!" Theron told "I'll still make that movie, I would do it in a heartbeat." The question is whether the Challengers star is interested in being part of a Hitchcock sequel. She returns to TV screens on the hit drama Euphoria for its third season, which is expected next year. HBO released a look at Zendaya in her starring role as recovering drug addict Rue this month as production on the new season began. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
