Streamer Cuffem went on a racist tirade against FanFan after the Chinese-Taiwanese creator made a joke about Kai Cenat’s “Kai’s University” segment at the 2025 Streamer Awards.
The joke was a standard awards show roast. FanFan poked fun at the chaotic nature of Kai’s “university” content, calling out how unserious the whole thing is. The jab targeted the content format itself, not Kai personally or his race.
Cuffem saw it differently. He went live shortly after and launched into an angry rant directly aimed at FanFan. The clip shows him yelling at the camera, visibly heated about what he viewed as disrespect toward Kai.
His response included multiple anti-Asian slurs. He used at least two distinct racial slurs against FanFan, including terms historically used against Chinese and other Asian groups. Viewers noted that while much of his rant was hard to understand due to heavy slang and shouting, the slurs came through clearly.
This wasn’t wordplay or an attempt at dark humor. He simply called her racial slurs. There was no punchline, no clever twist. Just direct racist language in response to a non-racial joke about streaming content.
This isn’t his first controversy. Past clips show him waving a Nazi flag on stream while talking to a Jewish person. He’s been recorded making antisemitic jokes and using other racial slurs against creators.
Despite this history, Cuffem continues to appear on major streams. Kai Cenat has invited him on after previous controversies. Some viewers claim a Twitch partnership representative reached out to him following the Nazi flag incident, though this hasn’t been independently confirmed.
The clip spread quickly across Twitter and streaming communities. Viewers questioned why this wouldn’t result in a platform ban, pointing to explicit rules against hate speech on both Twitch and Kick. The consensus among critics is that directly calling another creator racial slurs should be a clear terms of service violation.
When a joke becomes a war zone
FanFan’s Instagram comments became what users described as a “warzone” after the incident. Arguments broke out between Black and Asian commenters, with some framing the situation as racial conflict even though FanFan’s original joke had nothing to do with race.
The escalation shows how quickly things spiral online. A simple roast about streaming content became fuel for broader racial tensions that had nothing to do with the original context.
