Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Ballinthazy, is a former YouTuber turned Rumble streamer. Sneako started his stint as a YouTuber by streaming games like “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.”
However, he achieved much fame and popularity with a video titled ‘How People View You’ in 2015.
The video was a monologue presented by Sneako and dealt with how people wanted to be perceived publicly.
Later in 2018, he was part of Mr. Beast’s crew, but the association did not last long. Sneako’s street interview segment, which featured One-Minute Interviews and videos, was immensely popular.
However, some of his acts, like endorsing red pill narratives championed by controversial figures like Andrew Tate, did not sit well with viewers, and he received a lot of brickbats and a fall in viewership as well.
The Rumble streamer did not stop but continued burning his fingers by choosing all the wrong subjects, like hosting the now-defunct neo-Nazi organization Identity Evropa leader Nick Fuentes and endorsing Matt Walsh’s controversial documentary ‘What is a Woman’.
His act of insulting a female YouTuber finally got him banned from YouTube in October 2022. He was also expelled from Twitch a day later.
At present, the 25-year-old currently showcases his talent on Rumble. However, the closing doors of numerous platforms did not do any good for Sneako, and his popularity and viewership have taken a nosedive.
He regularly collaborated with other social media stars like Bradley Martyn and hence still has a presence on social media.
Sean Strickland vs Sneako
Recently, the Rumble streamer was seen in a sparring session with UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, and despite multiple attempts by the Rumble streamer to put down his gloves, he was continuously lit up by the former.
In a viral video posted by @happypunch on Instagram, Sean can be seen smashing punches on Sneako one after another, leaving the former’s nose bleeding-
However, despite the not-so-pleasant encounter, both don’t have any ill feelings towards one another.
The two again met at the Power Slap event at Durango Casino & Resort in Las Vegas, and Strickland was all praise for Sneako.
“I like Sneako. Some things you’ve done are questionable, but you are better… You showed up, and you f*****g sparred, man. That’s what I’m talking about.”
said Sean Strickland, post-hitting the sh*t out of Sneako in the ring.
Netizens Admire Sneako
Netizens in the comment section appreciated the streamer for not being fully submissive and staying on his feet even after bearing multiple punches to the face.
