Police raid Neon's livestream with Iggy Azalea after swatting and illegal gambling allegations

Police interrupted Neon's Kick stream featuring Iggy Azalea after a swatting call linked to illegal gambling claims.

A livestream hosted by controversial internet personality Rangesh “N3on” Mutama, better known as Neon, was abruptly interrupted on August 4, 2025, after a reported swatting incident led police to raid the show mid-broadcast. Australian rapper Iggy Azalea was a guest on the stream, which aired on Kick.

Clips circulating online show uniformed officers entering the set as the broadcast continued live. Several individuals were reportedly detained at the scene amid accusations of illegal gambling activities occurring during the show. However, whether these allegations are valid or part of the swatting hoax remains unclear.

Swatting is the act of falsely reporting an emergency to provoke an armed police response — a serious federal crime that has affected numerous streamers. In this case, the tip-off allegedly included claims of unlicensed gambling taking place live. While Neon has a history of online controversy — including a prior swatting incident in 2024 and an arrest in Dubai — this latest disruption highlights rising tensions between livestreaming and public safety.

Among the guests on the stream was Iggy Azalea, who has recently ventured into livestreaming and cryptocurrency-related content. Although she appeared on camera during the police entry, there is no suggestion that Azalea was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing.

The earliest report of the incident surfaced via a post from X.com user FearedBuck, who wrote, “Several were detained during Neon’s stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted due to suspected illegal gambling.” That quote has since spread widely across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, often without attribution or verification.

As the footage continues to trend, law enforcement has not released an official statement. Until more reliable reporting emerges, speculation around arrests or confirmed gambling activity remains unverified.
