Hasan Piker accuses Destiny of boosting Nick Fuentes’ audience through debates and meetups
Hasan Piker recently criticized fellow streamer Destiny, claiming his repeated debates and a 2022 filmed IRL meetup with far-right figure Nick Fuentes contributed to Fuentes’ audience growth.
Hasan emphasized that he avoided covering Fuentes on his former podcast, Leftovers, to prevent amplifying extremist voices.
He argued that engaging with such figures, even critically, normalizes them to mainstream audiences.
Destiny has defended his approach, saying that public debates expose extremist ideas to scrutiny. The two streamers, once close friends, have clashed over strategy and debate tactics for years.
Fuentes, leader of the “Groyper” movement, gained his largest mainstream attention from a 2022 Mar-a-Lago dinner with Donald Trump and Kanye West, outside the streaming world entirely.
The accusation comes amid another contentious exchange: Destiny previously alleged that Hasan solicited an underage sex worker at a Berlin brothel, referencing a 2016 raid on Artemis.
If Hasan is going to reach this hard to say that I kickstarted Fuentes' career, then I am responsible for his career 10x over.
Also, Hasan fucked a 15 year old when he was visiting that brothel in Berlin, that's why he doesn't like to talk about it as much now. https://t.co/vvh5CiSCfNNo evidence has been provided, and streamer Asmongold called the claim “extremely serious,” suggesting Hasan consider a defamation lawsuit if it’s false.
The ongoing feud highlights the blurred lines between online debate, accountability, and legal risk for public figures in the streaming community.
