The Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins recently battled a hacker on Twitter, who challenged him to a fight with Turner “Tfue” Tenney. Twitch star Tfue took up the challenge and made serious accusations against Ninja. He now wants to settle this in a fight – UFC or MMA, he doesn’t care.
This was the trigger: Mixer streamer Ninja was attacked by a hacker on Twitter on February 22. The hacker gained access to the account with 5.5 million followers and then posted things like “Are you going to fight me, Tfue?”
Tfue himself reacted to these statements. He made accusations against Ninja. He and Ninja have always been rivals. When Tfue exploded on social media due to the Fortnite hype, things escalated. Ninja has always hated him and wanted to bring him down. Ninja even tried to get Tfue’s Twitch account banned.
Tfue actually challenged Ninja to a fight. Whether UFC or MMA, he doesn’t care.

These are Ninja’s tweets: The posts, which have since been deleted, continuously challenge Tfue to a fight. The Twitch streamer was even tagged in the process.
In the post, the alleged Ninja even stated that he would actually beat Tfue.
This is how Tfue reacts: The streamer said that he believes Ninja’s Twitter was hacked, but he has wanted to address this topic for a long time.
“I believe he was actually hacked, but regardless, this is something I’ve wanted to get off my chest for a while. Ninja and I have been rivals for years. Since I became big on social media, he has tried to bring me down, he has talked shit behind my back. I have never mentioned this to anyone, but he has actually tried to get me banned forever behind my back. He literally tried to ruin my career.”

After that, Tfue again addresses the hacker’s suggestion. He says that while the offer may not be real, he would definitely accept it. “I’m giving him the opportunity to knock me out in the ring. I don’t care, UFC, MMA, whatever, the KSI-Logan Paul stuff has gone well, so why not do it?”
Tfue refers to the boxing matches between YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI. In 2018 and 2019, the two YouTubers fought in the ring, and alone the first fight was watched by 2 million people live on YouTube and Twitch.
Ninja says: I don’t hate you, Tfue – I don’t want to fight you
What does Ninja say about the suggestion? He is not so keen on a fight. On Twitter, he fired back at Tfue, saying: “I have no interest in fighting you, Tfue. I don’t hate you, I don’t want you to fail, but I also don’t think it’s right that you use my hacked Twitter as a publicity stunt. It was an invasion of privacy, which no one deserves, and you made it worse for me and helped him [the hacker].”
After that, the Fortnite star reaffirmed his statement, saying that Tfue has given even more attention to the hacker and his attack and that Tfue has slandered his name since not everyone knows that Ninja was hacked.
What is behind Tfue’s accusations? The two streamers, Ninja and Tfue, have always been considered major competitors. Ninja was bigger on Twitch, while Tfue was more successful in esports. He won tournaments and even participated in the Fortnite World Cup.
In December 2019, Ninja stated that streamers like Tfue are harming the game Fortnite. Around Christmas, Tfue then fired back with an ugly picture of Ninja.
The accusations that Ninja allegedly wanted to get Tfue banned from Twitch are, however, new. There is no confirmation of this, and it is now a case of her word against his. It is unclear whether Tfue believes Ninja wanted to ban him from Twitch or Fortnite.
