TL;DR
  • Ethan Klein turned Hasan Piker's criticism right back on him during a livestream.
  • The two internet creators have been caught up in a growing public feud after working together on a podcast.
  • This latest iteration of the drama is because of Hasan's participation in the iDubbz Content Cop video.

Ethan Klein of H3H3 Productions pointed out Hasan’s hypocrisy during a recent live stream about the political commentator. The moment happened during a tense back-and-forth between the two former collaborators, marking another chapter in their ongoing public feud.

Once friends who co-hosted the “Leftovers” podcast together, Klein and Piker have watched their relationship crumble over time. Their public disagreements stemmed from the excessive harassment and antisemitism towards Ethan and his wife, which in large part stemmed from Hasan’s extreme far-left audience.

The specific exchange that kicked off this latest iteration of the drama was Hasan’s participation in the iDubbz Content Cop on Ethan. Ethan immediately responded live on his podcast, disproving many of the claims made against him in the video.

This latest spat comes after months of back-and-forth video responses, live reactions, and social media jabs between the two.

Klein’s H3 Podcast has changed a lot since starting with YouTube comedy and reaction videos, while Piker has become a prominent voice in political commentary on Twitch. Both have huge audiences who hang on to every new twist in the new back-and-forth.

Although this beef has been going on for many months, the tides finally seem to be turning in Ethan’s favour. Especially when the bombshell dropped that Hasan has been a paying member of the H3 Podcast channel for at least the last 24 months. How do we know? He sent a message in the live chat asking for Ethan to debate him, which is only for paying members of the community.

Instead of kneeling to his request, his producers hit him with a hilarious, “We’ll set it up soon. I’m trying to go home, brother.” As this story breaks, we’ll update you on whether and when this debate happens.
