"I never needed anybody, they needed me": Mizkif disses OTK and FaZe, says he's done being the nice guy

"I never needed anybody, they needed me": Mizkif disses OTK and FaZe, says he's done being the nice guy

In a recent stream that's now going viral, Twitch star Mizkif went completely off the rails. In a no-holds-barred rant, he dropped a loud and clear 'f**k'
to pretty much everyone
- FaZe Clan, OTK, and even the wider streaming community.
With raw honesty and zero filters, Miz declared he's done playing nice, and he's riding solo from here on out.
'Fk Streamers, Fk Everybody.'
During a casual Just Chatting stream with his friend Jess, Mizkif didn't hold back. The topic? Online hate and his ever-controversial reputation. Jess wondered if Mizkif could tone things down and 'get less hate.' Mizkif's reply? Nuclear.
'I'm so far in the deep end, I might as well keep swimming... f**k streamers, f**k all of them. F**k everybody. F**k
FaZe
Clan. F**k the Fourth Floor. F**k OTK. F**k everybody. I never needed anybody, they needed me.'
Mizkif straight-up said he never needed anyone and that the support he gave others was never returned.
'They Needed Me' – Mizkif Declares Independence
What hit hardest was Miz's realization (or maybe just decision) to stop pretending. He called out the fakeness in the industry and said he's no longer interested in pleasing anyone.
'I was always supporting them, but they never supported me. So
fk all these people, bro. I'm a 30-year-old man. I don't give a fk
anymore.'
From trying to rebuild his rep to fully rejecting the clout machine, Mizkif's message is clear: he's over the politics and ready to be unapologetically himself.
Fallout from Yugi's Savage Comment
Earlier that same day, Mizkif was already spiraling after a brutal jab from fellow Twitch streamer Yugi. The two were goofing around when Miz mentioned he'd given away half a million dollars. Yugi's comeback?
'Wow! Not even that was good enough to keep your relationship intact.'
The punchline hit way too close to home, and Miz ended his stream almost immediately after.

The vibe had clearly shifted, and fans could tell something was off.
X Comments Push Him Over the Edge
Shortly after the clip went viral, an X user chimed in with a jab of their own, claiming Mizkif had 'gotten soft.' Miz didn't let that slide either. He fired back with:
'facts miz cant take it anymore dudes cringe since 2020.'
Seems like that was the final straw. The mix of online hate, streamer drama, and personal jabs has pushed Miz to a breaking point, and now he's pushing back harder.
What's Next for Mizkif?
Whether this was a one-time vent or a full-on rebrand, one thing's clear — Mizkif's not pretending anymore. He's done with streamer politics, done playing the nice guy, and ready to be his unfiltered self. And while that might ruffle a few feathers, it just might be the most honest version of Mizkif we've seen in years.

Prosenjit Chatterjee: Actors today are not chasing stardom alone; they're chasing variety

Prosenjit Chatterjee (BCCL/Tejas Kudtarkar) Prosenjit Chatterjee , fondly known as Bumba da, has long been a pillar of Bengali cinema, balancing commercial hits with bold, unconventional roles. Now, with over 350 films behind him, he's looking beyond boundaries — embracing new languages, younger teams, and stories on a national scale. In this candid chat with Bombay Times, the veteran actor reflects on reinvention, letting go of the comfort of stardom and learning from the next generation. 'Now I want to act in films that have a national scale' Prosenjit recently impressed the audience in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter and is ready to broaden his horizons. He says, 'I have always embraced challenges; there was a period when I was doing six to eight shifts a day, with 17 to 18 releases a year. My highest was 26, a world record, I later learnt from a fan club. We never kept track back in the day.' Today, he remains as eager as ever for new roles. He shares, 'I tell my directors to bring me something that is out of the box. Now I want to act in films that have a national scale.' 'It's hard for a commercial actor to let go of seetees and taalis' Letting go of the larger‑than‑life image built through commercial cinema was not easy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He says, 'The most difficult part for an actor who has found success in commercial films is letting go of the seetees and taalis. You may be willing to give up a lot, but not that curtain call. When a villain walks in and approaches the heroine, the crowd expects the hero to storm in and save her, and they love that moment. So, I had to consciously shed that baggage and recondition my thinking,' he says. He adds, 'I experimented constantly because I believed that in ten years the language of cinema would change — and I wanted to evolve too. I'm not in a race, which is why I'm branching out into Punjabi and Marathi cinema.' Prosenjit Chatterjee (BCCL/Tejas Kudtarkar) 'The Bengali industry depended on me for two decades' Ask him why he didn't make the shift earlier beyond Bengali films, and he replies, 'Back then, the Bengali industry depended on me; it was not just about hits, but also a responsibility toward producers, directors and technicians. If I went on a 20‑day outdoor trip, I would get calls saying 'Dada, aap nahi hain to chhe-chhe shifts nahi ho rahe hain'. So, I stayed.' He continues, 'Being number one in any industry is not easy. If I had come to Mumbai and ended up as number ten, I would have felt I was letting down my Bengali audience who believe I'm their number one.' 'Nawaz was the first to break the typical Indian-hero mould' Prosenjit, who has been a part of OTT shows like Jubilee and Scoop, is deeply inspired by the new generation. He says, 'So many of them deliver great performances, not just in Hindi, but across all industries. I wonder, 'Yeh log kaise acting kar rahe hain!' That drives me to keep evolving. Acting has changed and cinema has changed. You either say, 'Main aap logon ka pitaji hoon, main ghar par rahoonga', or you work with younger teams and learn new things. I choose the latter.' He especially praises Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rajkummar Rao. 'Nawaz was the first to break the typical Indian-hero mould; he changed the game. And now there are many such actors. Rajkummar, too. The actors today are not chasing stardom alone; they are chasing variety,' he notes.

John Leguizamo says he "learned a lot about respect" in his first marriage

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor-comedian John Leguizamo recently opened up about the lessons he learned from his past. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the 64-year-old star spoke about how his first marriage helped him grow into a better man and husband. He was married to actress Yelba Zoe McCourt from 1994 to 1996, before marrying his current wife, Justine Maurer, in 2003. According to PEOPLE, in the new season of his MSNBC docuseries, the actor joked to chef Melissa Araujo of Alma in New Orleans while discussing the gentle touch of shaping dough for Honduran baleadas: "If I had your advice, maybe my first marriage would've survived." When asked by PEOPLE what he learned from his first marraige, Leguizamo said, "The starter marriage was definitely very important for my maturation." For Leguizamo, it was a "life-learning experience," because he doesn't think he would be the same husband or man if he hadn't gone through the experience of the first marriage. "I learned a lot about respect. I learned a lot about compromise. I learned that it doesn't happen by itself -- that marriage is really work, and you gotta work, and you gotta put work into it, and you gotta put yourself into it," he added. Leguizamo, who shares two children with Maurer -- daughter Allegra, 25, and son Lucas, 24 -- believes one of the keys to a lasting relationship is staying involved in each other's lives. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "You really gotta stay interested in each other, and do things together," he said, according to PEOPLE.

'Thousands of death threats': Pirate Software quits Offbrand Games over Stop Killing Games controversy

(Image via @PirateSoftware/YouTube) The Stop Killing Games campaign has just crossed a major milestone—1 million signatures and counting. But instead of celebration across the board, it's also stirred controversy and backlash. Indie dev and streamer Pirate Software, also known as Thor, has responded after becoming a lightning rod for outrage from supporters of the movement. The Petition That Shook the Industry Stop Killing Games (SGF) started as a movement urging game publishers to maintain access to digital games, even after they lose official support. The argument? Players who paid for a game should be able to access it permanently. As of now, the petition has drawn over 1.15 million signatures. Pirate Software Pushes Back Pirate Software, who previously criticized the campaign for being too 'vague,' has found himself at the center of the storm. In a July 4 Twitch stream, Thor revealed the extreme fallout following his comments. 'I got swatted on Tuesday,' he said. He described receiving tens of thousands of death threats—not just toward him, but also directed at his moderation team. Constant phone calls, harassment, and doxxing followed. Pirate Software QUITS Game Development After Stop Killing Games Petition Success! 'Corporate Plant,' 'Nepobaby,' and Other Attacks Thor described the level of online harassment as relentless. According to him, users attacked his life's work and claimed he never held the jobs listed in his professional history, even in the face of proof. He added that he'd been called everything from 'corporate plant' to 'napobaby,' expressing visible frustration at how the campaign's success had turned into personal vendettas against him. Fallout From Offbrand Games The backlash wasn't limited to just words. On July 3, Thor announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he had stepped away from Offbrand Games, a studio founded by fellow creator Ludwig. He said supporters of the campaign began attacking all titles published by the studio simply due to his involvement, calling the behavior 'unhinged.' A Final Word to SGF Though clearly embattled, Thor didn't wish failure on the movement itself. Instead, he left viewers with a sharp message: 'I hope that your initiative [SGF] gets everything that you asked for, but nothing you wanted.' It's a statement layered in bitterness—possibly a wish for the movement to succeed on paper but fail in its spirit. Where This Leaves the Industry As SGF's petition grows, the debate over digital ownership is louder than ever. But Thor's experience raises a tough question: Can disagreement survive in online spaces without turning into personal destruction? While Stop Killing Games may want to protect digital access, this chapter highlights another issue that needs saving—civil discourse.
