Twitch sensation Hasan was targeted by a follower who snuck into his Uber ride as he was leaving the Democratic National Convention to go to his hotel.
With a Twitch following of almost 3M, Hasan has built a significant fan base who tune in to his frequent Just Chatting streams, where he discusses the most current events.
Due to the majority of his content centering around US politics, the Twitch celebrity received an invitation to livestream from a designated area at the Democratic National Convention. He streamed live for the entirety of the four-day event, spanning from August 19 to August 22.
As Hasan was riding an Uber from the convention to his hotel, he was taken aback when he was stream sniped at a traffic light.
As Hasan’s Uber was driving, a car pulled up next to them and a fan started shouting from the window, causing the driver to notice. Hasan promptly understood the situation and convinced the driver to continue on their way.
“Hey dude, keep pushing. Keep going, man. That’s crazy as hell,”he exclaimed.
Despite the interaction, Hasan quickly moved on and the stream continued for the remainder of the ride and for several hours after returning to the hotel.
The Twitch celebrity has reduced the number of IRL streams he does due to this reason, as he clarified during a July interview with YouTubers Colin and Samir.
“Currently, I feel unable to do it for two reasons,”he explained. “Firstly, I will be swarmed no matter where I go. This holds true even in Tokyo, despite being in the exact opposite time zone, which is quite baffling.”
The event becomes a meet and greet, therefore it must be highly organized and take place in a controlled setting. Despite this, I continue to host it.
Despite being a popular creator, Hasan is not the only one who encounters problems with stream snipers and being overwhelmed while streaming IRL. For instance, YouTube sensation IShowSpeed has also faced similar issues during his IRL streams in different countries, often getting swarmed by hundreds of fans. As a result, he has had to come up with innovative ways to escape the mob.
