Richard Tyler Blevins who is more famously known as Ninja is one of the biggest Fortnite streamers in the game. He grew to fame by getting into the competitive scene and started taking part in eSports events. Today he is known to play Fortnite with celebrities like Drake, Travis Scott, and Marshmellow. During a recent stream, he invited iShowSpeed to join him in the game. Which led to some peculiar things happening.

The next day, during the stream, Ninja was reflecting upon his thoughts on iShowSpeed’s career as a Streamer. Based on the interaction between the two, Ninja explained the difference in his career when it came to the younger streamers. But when it came to how fans saw it, things got a little complicated.

Ninja’s thoughts on young streamers

Ninja had an interesting moment when he was streaming Fortnite with iShowSpeed the day before. During the stream, iShowSpeed accidentally leaked the discord of the streamer, Ninja. This led Ninja to have to delete the Discord channel. What was devastating for Ninja was that was his “sanctuary” for years. The channel housed players like Drake and the other musicians, as well as some of the more “OG streamers” that he plays with.

On the next day, Ninja was thinking about iShowSpeed and spoke about what he felt. Ninja said “Dude, yesterday made me realize how blessed I am, bro. I’ll just say that. That, like, I can just be me. I can just do this.” He shared how he enjoys just having to play Fortnite and have viewers watching him play. “I don’t have to do crazy planned stuff. Like, by the way, it’s very entertaining so I get that, I get why all these young guys are so massive and popular” he added. This sentence must have struck the wrong chord with some viewers as seen in the Twitter conversation.

While it might have sounded like Ninja was commenting on Speed’s career. He was only stating what he understood and reflected on his career. He spoke about how he does not need to work on elaborately planned streams and can just relax and enjoy the game he loves. Many of Ninja’s fans started sharing their thoughts on what they believed Ninja was saying. While most of them dismissed the alleged shots taken on Speed, some believed otherwise.

Fans share their perspective on Ninja’s words

One fan explained what they thought Ninja’s perspective was. They spoke about how streamers like Adin Ross, iShowSpeed, and others are reaching fame. They also compliment the young streamers by saying they are “Very entertaining and only a few can pull it off.”

How is that a diss? He’s right he is lucky

Most streamers now do absurd things which only a few can do. That’s why adin, speed, etc are all huge. Very entertaining and only a few can pull it off.

Ninja is just more so saying he’s thankful he can just sit and game and make money…

Another fan dismissed the fact that it was a diss. He mentioned that Ninja was just grateful that he’s already made it.

Not really a diss, he’s just grateful that he’s already made it

One fan spoke about how they believe Speed plays a personality and Ninja gets to show some pro-level gameplay. They said that every creator is different and that Ninja was not wrong.

This fan believed that Ninja was not putting speed down, but was showing respect to the young streamer while being glad for their life.

Not a diss if anything it’s a level of respect

While many felt like it was nothing to build up upon, some thought that Ninja was dissing the younger streamer.

Although the two streamers had some interesting things go down in the last 2 days, Ninja has respect for iShowSpeed. His words reflected more about him looking at his career and comparing it to a younger more worked-on content. It’s no doubt that iShowSpeed shows more energy than Ninja on stream and the latter is happy that they get to be more relaxed while streaming. With the way things have gone down, do you think we will get to see iShowSpeed on Ninja’s stream again? Let us know in the comments.
