Hasan Piker is one of the most liked political news commentators of the year and it was also proved when he recently won the Streamy Award for best news streamer. But it seems he has been pushed down by some to make him shut for his overtly open commentaries on political matters and controversial personalities like Kanye West.
Thus it seems that after he got banned from the streaming platform Twitch, reactor xQc has also been worried about Hasan Piker and his channel.

This is also a bit of a shocker as a few hours earlier xQc had advised Hasan Piker that he should not moderate the Kanye West and Adin Ross interview, to which Kanye West said that he knows the consequences. However, now Hasan Piker is banned from Twitch for at least 48 hours, and it seems that it can be somewhat of a strategic move, if not a huge conspiracy.
xQc reacts to Hasan Piker getting banned on Twitch mid-stream
While watching a video of how light works in Unreal Engine, xQc was notified by his fans that Hasan Piker was banned from Twitch for almost 48 hours for reacting to a copyrighted video of Kanye ‘Ye’ West in an interview with Gavin McInnes. At first, xQc thought that it was just a random ban and that Hasan will be unbanned in a few minutes. He said, “It’s fine. He’ll get in back within like 40 minutes.”
But after his subscribers replied that, no, Hasan Piker has been banned under the DMCA claims, xQc was shocked and he immediately went to Reddit and reacted to the ban by saying, “they [censored.tv] f**king sniped his a**.”
He further added, “I don’t agree with that.” Continuing, he said, “I don’t think I agree with that. I think it’s famous, okay? When you partake in a public dialogue that’s opinionated, right? And you’re willing to let people like comment or whatever and you go on DMCA and then curve the lot in your way because you’re not getting the response you want or the opinion you want and that’s just that’s like the most coward.”

Notably, xQc also alerted Hasan Piker on moderating Kanye West’s interview with Adin Ross, which is reportedly going to happen somewhere around next week, but the possibility of it happening before the schedule can never be ruled out.
