A routine gaming session between two of the world's most popular streamers, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins and Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag, took an unexpectedly dramatic turn, leaving their fanbase stunned. What began as a standard playthrough of the game Arc Raiders on December 13, 2025, quickly devolved into a raw and emotional public argument that has since gone viral across social media platforms.
From Gameplay Misstep to Heated Words
The incident unfolded during a high-stakes team fight involving Ninja, Nadeshot, and fellow streamer Symfuhny. The competitive pressure was already high, but a single tactical move became the flashpoint. Ninja questioned Nadeshot's decision to make a risky jump off a roof during the firefight, a move that left Nadeshot critically low on health.
"Did you jump off the roof and not even clamber onto the stairs and take max damage?" Ninja asked, seeking an explanation for the failed play. Nadeshot defended the action as simple bad timing. However, Ninja pressed further, linking the mistake to a personal in-game goal, stating, "Why does this have anything to do with why we died, though, bro?" He revealed he was aiming to stack five million coins by December 22, 2025, and argued that such errors were slowing their collective progress.
The Argument Escalates Into Personal Territory
This framing pushed Nadeshot over the edge, triggering a fierce exchange. Nadeshot fired back, shouting, "I wasn't worried about the loot, you f**king freak!.. You, my friend Blevins, you might be one of the most delusional motherfkers that I have ever played with." The clip of this intense moment spread like wildfire online, shocking fans with the sudden frustration and harsh language.
The situation grew more uncomfortable when Ninja later explained why the exchange affected him deeply. He told Nadeshot, "Matt, you say some, like, really hurtful things when you're angry." When Nadeshot later downplayed his comments on stream, Ninja reminded him of a particularly sensitive remark: "You said I was born too soon and I needed to cook longer in my mother's womb." This line crossed a personal boundary for Ninja, who added, "You just don't know what people have been through..."
Resolution and Moving Forward
Recognizing the hurt caused, Nadeshot clarified that he never intended personal harm and offered a sincere apology. Ninja accepted the apology, and the two streamers agreed they were fine and ready to move past the conflict. The incident highlights how high-pressure livestream environments can sometimes lead to unfiltered emotional outbursts, even between friends and colleagues.
This is not the only time Nadeshot has been at the centre of recent controversy. He also recently stirred debate by pushing back against fans critical of his decision to accept a gambling sponsorship, clapping back at his critics in a separate online interaction.
