WHO IS TWITCH STREAMER HASANABI?

Olivia Richman • February 9, 06:38


When Twitch streamer Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker is not playing Fortnite and Rust, he
is busy getting in arguments over the latest political controversies.



HasanAbi is a Turkish-American streamer who grew up in Istanbul before moving to
the United States. He graduated from Rutgers University in 2013 with a dual
bachelor’s degree in political science and communication. Twitch streaming
combined these two passions, allowing HasanAbi to share his political takes with
a following of over 1 million users. He also took his opinion to The Young Turks
as a network host.

HasanAbi gained popularity in 2016 when Bernie Sanders supporters started
following him for his left-wing political views during the presidential
campaign. From there, he built up a massive following of 600,000 on Facebook and
300,000 on Instagram. His YouTube had over 4.4 million subscribers at that time.

But HasanAbi’s political views haven’t always been a source of joy for the
streaming and Twitch communities. HasanAbi was once banned for seven days after
saying that the United States “deserved” 9/11.




In August 2019, HasanAbi went on a rant during a Joe Rogan podcast when Texas’
Rep. Dan Crenshaw was brought up. HasanAbi didn’t agree with the view that
America should have military bases in over 100 countries.



“This is so insane. America deserved 9/11, dude,” HasanAbi said. “Like we
totally brought it upon ourselves dude… Look at the way that this dipshit is
running his fucking mouth, justifying genocide right now.”

HasanAbi later said he regretted his choice of words but defended his criticism
of America. In fact, HasanAbi has only continued to get more opinionated about
America and its politics. Whether it’s on Twitch or on Twitter, HasanAbi isn’t
afraid to hold back his opinion. This is what has made him grow in popularity
over time.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HASANABI?

A lot of the drama HasanAbi’s been through more recently hasn’t been related to
politics at all. One upsetting moment came when he announced that his dog, Fish,
was suffering from liver cancer. Fans were devastated to hear that Fish wouldn’t
make it.


WHAT HAPPENED WITH HASANABI AND DESTINY?

A lot of HasanAbi’s drama is on the political and social side of things. Twitch
streamer Steven “Destiny” Bonnell II once admitted that he uses racial slurs in
private. He defended this by stating that race is a “social construct.” Destiny
said, however, that he wouldn’t call a black person “the n-word” to their face.



“What a fucking liar, dude! What a fucking weaselly little liar, dude!” HasanAbi
said in response. “Can someone at least fucking enlighten Destiny that he’s
literally lying to his audience?”

HasanAbi went on to insult Destiny, making for a fair bit of drama between the
two popular streamers.
