Dream calls out Hasan for spreading “outright lies” in now-deleted tweet
Dream has lashed out at Twitch star Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker, claiming the commentator spread “outright lies” about the YouTuber over his collaboration with disgraced Minecraft creator Markus ‘Notch’ Persson dating back to January 2020.
Dream hasn’t been able to stay out of the headlines all week; first with his apology forcheating during his 2020 Minecraft speedruns, and for issues surrounding his ever-expanding fandom. Now, Hasan has taken aim at Dream for collaborating with disgraced Minecraft founder Markus Persson, better known across the internet as Notch. Hasan took issue to fans trying to cancel Karl Jacobs “for being an Ice Poseidon fan at some point” and protecting Dream after he made a viral video — with over 18 million views — with the controversial Persson. “Attacking your favorite content creators and writing massive threads about how it’s problematic to bring up slavery in any capacity in a video game roleplay scenario is ridiculous,” he said. “This, just having Notch on a video like this with 16 million views, is significantly worse. I can’t even,” the Twitch star continued. “This dude has been an avowed, out and about white supremacist transphobe for so long.”
Inviting Dream onto his stream, the YouTuber quickly changed his tone and apologized to Hasan in front of thousands live on Twitch.
The dispute ended somewhat amicably, with the two having an in-depth conversation on stream afterwards.
