Streamer Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt was removed from bbno$’s music video because of comments he made that contradicted the rapper’s beliefs. Asmongold has faced numerous bans on Twitch, with infractions including sending racial slurs in his Diablo Immortal chat and referring to Palestinians as “inferior” during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Beyond facing Twitch bans, my unwavering support for Asmongold has seen him relinquish his leadership roles at OTK and Starforge Systems. However, despite the barrage of criticism he’s faced, this streamer continues to captivate a loyal fanbase, accumulating thousands of views with each live broadcast. Intriguingly, Asmongold was recently crowned the most-watched Twitch channel in North America, outranking Kai Cenat and TimTheTatman.

One missed chance for Asmongold was appearing in a music video, as rapper bbno$ edited him out due to differences in values. In his latest video for the song “mary poppins,” bbno$ features several streamers and included a disclaimer about censoring individuals whose values he disagrees with. Although bbno$ didn’t directly mention Asmongold, fans recognized that Asmongold was the person with a dinosaur sticker covering his face in the video. Additionally, bbno$ announced that the proceeds from the music video will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), which could be related to Asmongold’s statements about Palestine a few months prior.

During a live stream on Twitch, Asmongold acknowledged that he had been censored in bbno$’s music video. He understood why people might not defend him and could sympathize with those who disagreed with him. He expressed remorse for any potential inconvenience caused to bbno$ and the other streamers featured in the “Mary Poppins” video. Asmongold made it clear that he held no grudge against the rapper and wanted to apologize for any trouble he may have caused. It remains unknown which of Asmongold’s contentious remarks led to the censorship, as the music video appears to have been produced some time ago. Besides his comments on Palestine, many speculate that it was due to his views on banning political streams on Twitch.

On social media platforms, many fans of bbno$ praised him for remaining faithful to his values by not featuring Asmongold in his music video. Yet, the rapper faced criticism as well for excluding Asmongold. Some online users defended Asmongold and mentioned that he had previously apologized for his past errors.

While Asmongold is facing criticism for his comments during live streams and on social media, a recent controversial opinion about not using deodorant left many viewers feeling uncomfortable.
