Mizkif brought up the Hasan dog controversy during an IRL cycling stream to TwitchCon. The moment was clipped and circulated across streaming communities.
The OTK co-founder was biking from Los Angeles to San Diego for TwitchCon alongside Erobb. During the roughly 100-mile journey, Mizkif made a pointed joke about allegations that Hasan used a shock collar on his dog Kaya.
The comment referenced the core claim at the center of “collargate.” Erobb was present on the ride but didn’t engage with the topic. One viewer noted he seemed “too scared to say anything and get involved.”
The Hasan controversy has been building for weeks. Clips surfaced showing Kaya wearing a training collar and maintaining strict place behavior during long streams. Some creators claim the device was shock-capable and used in training. Others defend the methods as standard practice when done properly.
Hasan has pushed back against characterizations of abuse. The dispute includes debates over whether Kaya was kept in limited areas for extended periods and whether on-stream yelping was related to the collar. Different parties have made competing claims.
