The Twitch streamer MontanaBlack had an unpleasant encounter during a stream on Twitch. He explains why he seemed intimidated, even though he actually maintains an image as a tough guy and likes to act tough.
What happened? The streamers MontanaBlack and Knossi were out on a “in real life” stream in Berlin. The two popular streamers had security personnel dressed in black with them, who made a strong impression.
Suddenly, a person blocked the street with a wide stance. MontanaBlack spotted him early and assumed that he wanted to punch them.
The person seemed so threatening to the streamer duo that the security personnel addressed the individual and asked him to step aside. However, the person shouted incomprehensible things and identified himself as “Paul”. The man yelled something like they should ask Kollegah and that the streamers would go to jail for ten years.
While Knossi joked, “he’ll take care of it” and said that the guy was probably a friend of MontanaBlack whom the streamer from Buxtehude was ashamed of, as he recognized him by the dialect, MontanaBlack only said: He didn’t know him. MontanaBlack seemed tense in the situation.
I have a lot to lose
This is what MontanaBlack says about the situation: In a statement, MontanaBlack later explains why he has “respect for such a guy” and seemed somewhat intimidated during the stream (via tiktok):
Bro, I’m 37, I have a lot to lose in life.
For MontanaBlack, the impression was created that the man in the stream was mentally confused. These are people who are just unpredictable. He already has respect for such people.
Those who take issue with him for it not matching his image as a tough guy, he tells: There is nothing worse than such a person who is mentally disturbed.
Here you can see the encounter of the streamers with the person:
What scared him in the situation? MontanaBlack mentions what the viewers might not have noticed: The person in the stream took hours to follow Knossi and him.
Even after the encounter on the street, the man followed them to an event.
Streamers increasingly becoming victims
Here’s what it’s about: In the USA, there have been repeated burglary and thefts targeting female streamers – a crime motivated by money. Through the streams, it is known in which area people like Amouranth live and that they have a lot of money.
What MontanaBlack describes, the encounter with an unpredictable, perhaps obsessive person, is a different category. Particularly due to this component, that these people apparently have “nothing to lose”, while MontanaBlack has a lot to lose in the situation, it is understandable that MontanaBlack reacts with uncertainty here.
MontanaBlack and Knossi were well protected by security forces in the situation. In the USA, three female streamers, who were only accompanied by an assistant, faced a similar situation. They had no choice but to flee: Twitch streamer is followed and threatened because she doesn’t want to give a fan her number.
