"I never needed anybody, they needed me": Mizkif disses OTK and FaZe, says he's done being the nice guy
(Image via @Scubaryan_/X) 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. 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 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.

The Miz is the first and only two-time Grand Slam Champion in WWE history, a testament to his decorated and durable career. He has reached the pinnacle of the industry by winning the WWE Championship on two separate occasions, both times after successfully cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase, which he has also won twice.

He is also a two-time United States Champion and a multi-time tag team champion with various partners. His first WWE title reign culminated in him successfully defending the championship against John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania XXVII, cementing his status as a top-tier star.

WWE's 'The Miz' wants Browns to follow the Chiefs' rookie plan for Patrick Mahomes
WWE's 'The Miz' wants Browns to follow the Chiefs' rookie plan for Patrick Mahomes This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin about his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe, and his favorite team, the Cleveland Browns, whom he hopes will take a tip from the Kansas City Chiefs. "When I first saw what we (Cleveland Browns) did with the second pick, I wanted Travis Hunter; I think he's a generational talent. He's going to play offense-defense. The best football player in the draft is what you're hearing. And then when I saw what we got for that second pick, I was like, wow, we just got a haul. So right then and there. I said, You know what? These guys know exactly what they're doing," said Miz, "Now, do we have a huge quarterback room? Yes. But do we need a huge quarterback room? Yes, because we can never find a good quarterback who is our franchise player. So I think now is when we're going to have a little competition, like to be, you know, to go up against each other. And I'm excited to see what Shedeur (Sanders), Dillon Gabriel, Kenny Pickett, and Joe Flacco can do in that quarterback room. Hopefully, the young kids can learn from Flacco because he is a Super Bowl-winning quarterback, and I'm hoping that, you know, one of their college careers translates to the NFL." Miz mentioned Shedeur Sanders as his choice for the future franchise quarterback role. However, he wants Kansas City to utilize the process during Patrick Mahomes' rookie season. "I can sit here and say any name, and you never know until you get to the first game in the NFL and all the defensive packages are put into place, and you see how well they're able to look at the field and see the field and see where they need to go. So that's what I'm looking forward to. I look forward to seeing them get on the field and do something during a real NFL game. I'm not talking preseason, either. We can talk about the draft, rookie OTAs, regular OTAs, and the preseason. It all comes to fruition when the NFL season comes, and that's what I'm looking forward to," said Miz, "Hopefully, they'll be able to sit back and watch for a little while before they get in. I always think of what they did with Patrick Mahomes; Kansas City was the perfect situation for him. He got to sit a year learning from Alex Smith, and now he's one of the best quarterbacks ever to do it. So, hopefully, we'll be able to do the same thing." The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC, along with a first-place prize of $150,000, makes the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.

WWE's 'The Miz' suggests Chiefs star for American Gladiators, talks Browns fandom
WWE's 'The Miz' suggests Chiefs star for American Gladiators, talks Browns fandom This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin about his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe, his earliest memory of the Cleveland Browns fandom, and hosting the upcoming American Gladiators reboot while name dropping Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as an ideal Gladiator. The Kelce brothers are confirmed to be Miz's competition again this year, as he will seek a better finish than last year's tournament. Miz is an Ohio native and a die-hard Browns fan, having witnessed the franchise's ups and downs. Cleveland's last divisional round postseason appearance was against Kansas City in 2020, when they lost at Arrowhead Stadium 17-22. He recalled his earliest memory of the team as a child attending school, singing about their quarterback, Bernie Kosar. "I believe I was in, like, fifth grade, and I was going to school in the bus, and we were just singing, Bernie, Bernie, oh baby Super Bowl," said Miz, "So, yeah, I remember that verbatim, and I also remember us not making it to the Super Bowl. I believe that year was either the fumble or the drive. I'm not sure which one, but those are the two things that really screwed us." The former WWE champion was recently named host of the upcoming reboot of American Gladiators on Prime Video. "I can't wait. I think, with this show, we're gonna, you know, give a nod to what, what American Gladiators was in the past, and elevate it and put it, you know, with 100% and go literally, ball to the wall, if you will." said Miz, "I mean, American Gladiators is a staple, and now to be the host of American Gladiators. It's an absolute honor, and I take it very, very seriously. I want to make sure that this show is everything people imagine it to be and more, and it will be. I can't wait for people to meet the Gladiators. I can't wait for people to see the events, and I can't wait for people to see me as the host." During a recent appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football, Miz suggested that Chiefs star Travis Kelce would make a great addition to the show as a Gladiator. "I'm gonna go with two tight ends. I'm gonna go, George Kittle, I'm gonna go with Travis Kelce, because of personality," said Miz during the broadcast, "A Gladiator has to have a great personality, and got to be out there, not only do that be physically dominating but they got to be someone, either you're root for, or you're gonna boo kind of like a WWE superstar." The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes.

'The Miz' reflects on celebrating with Travis Kelce at the American Century Championship
'The Miz' reflects on celebrating with Travis Kelce at the American Century Championship This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to WWE Superstar Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin about about his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe and his memorable celebration with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and brother Jason on the 17th hole of last year's tournament. "Life is all about moments. Am I right? So I get up to the 17th, which is thousands of people. There's a beautiful ocean, tons of people watching, a DJ, and everyone's having a great time. It's like one big party. It reminds me of the Phoenix Open," said Miz, "I get up there with the (Travis and Jason) Kelce's, and I get my seven iron, I put my ball on my tee, and I feel the nerves of adrenaline just rushing through me. So I almost can't even feel my club. I swing the club, hit it, and say, "Oh my God, that felt really good. I look at the ball. It's going directly towards the hole." After the impressive shot, Miz began chest-bumping Jason and the Chiefs' ten-time Pro Bowl tight end joyfully. "I'm going. I made a hole-in-one. That's no doubt in my mind. Like, didn't even, as soon as it hit, I was like, Oh, my God, I'm gonna hit a hole in one, so I start celebrating," said Miz, "Granted, it was 10 feet from the hole, but I thought it was it. I thought it was gonna make it. But, man, what a moment, what a celebration. And I think I part that hole, which I should have got a birdie, but I was so nervous on the putting course like I just watched Happy Gilmore, and I remember the first time he putted, it went, like two feet. That's basically what I did. I still got a par, so it worked out." The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC, along with a first-place prize of $150,000, makes the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.
