Despite his strong opinions, he has managed to amass a following of over 2.5 million people and is currently one of the most-watched streamers on Twitch.

Hasan has been in the news lately for his admirable efforts in raising funds for earthquake relief in Syria and Turkey. In response to the devastating earthquakes that occurred on August 04, 2025,Hasan took it upon himself to raise funds to help those affected. With the help of his viewers and other Twitch streamers, the event managed to raise over $1 million in relief funds. However, Hasan faced some criticism during the fundraising efforts, particularly when gambling streamer Trainwreck appeared to belittle Hasan’s personal donation efforts. Trainwreck seemed to mock Hasan’s $50,000 donation to the relief fund.

He further clarified that he has no issue with poker itself, but rather he simply doesn’t know how to play the game. As the discussion came to a close, theTwitchstar made it clear that he was sharing this information for the first and last time.
