FaZe Jason reveals death threats followed streamer prom prank with Kyedae’s sister

A lighthearted, staged streamer prom took a dark turn this week when FaZe Jason revealed that he and Kyedae’s sister, Sakura, were subjected to online death threats. What was meant to be an entertaining, tongue-in-cheek stream spiraled into a wave of harassment after fans felt the “date” didn’t go as they expected.

FaZe Jason, known for his comedic takes and gaming content, took to social media shortly after the stream to set the record straight. Read on to know in detail.

FaZe Jason's prom prank leads to backlash

The now-viral streamer promo between FaZe Jason and Sakura was intended to be a fun, scripted online moment typical of the content world where creators blur the line between reality and performance. But the internet, ever watchful and often too quick to react, didn’t take it lightly when the storyline didn’t deliver a neatly wrapped romantic arc.

He wrote:

“Sakura and I are fine. Please stop sending death threats and harassment, especially toward her. Our streams are for entertainment, but things can be misinterpreted. Today didn’t go as expected, but we’re grateful for the support. Please be kind, we’re all human. Thank you.”

It is unclear what exactly didn’t go “as expected,” but speculation spread fast. Some assumed the interaction between FaZe Jason and Sakura was awkward or didn’t live up to fans’ expectations, while others believed the prank was too obviously staged. The confusion snowballed into outrage, eventually crossing the line and turning into targeted online abuse, most of which landed on Sakura, a relatively low-key figure compared to her sister Kyedae, who is a well-known figure in the Valorant and streaming community.

FaZe Jason’s post was met with a mix of concern and disbelief. Many rallied in support of the duo, condemning the parasocial intensity that led to such an extreme reaction.

One user on X bluntly pointed out:

"People need to stop being parasocial weirdos."

Another viewer couldn’t help but roll their eyes at the drama:

"So... uh... they went on a date and people freaked out? What exactly does 'didn’t go as expected' mean? I don't know who any of these people are."

The skepticism didn’t stop there. The larger conversation turned to the ever-increasing trend of “scripted” content in the streaming world, with many accusing creators of faking drama just for clicks.

A user added:

"FaZe and more fake staged content! So awesome."

FaZe Jason, part of the iconic FaZe Clan, is known for his humorous and sometimes chaotic content. While he’s used to strong reactions online, this time things escalated faster than anticipated. Sakura, though not a public figure to the same extent, was caught in the crossfire simply for being part of the act.

Kyedae, Sakura’s sister, has yet to publicly comment on the situation. Known for her own massive fanbase and presence in the esports world, her involvement, whether direct or through association, likely contributed to the amplified attention.

As online personalities continue to blend scripted scenarios with real-life interactions, viewers often find themselves struggling in their quest to separate the two. While parasocial dynamics have always been part of fandoms, the intensity and entitlement some audiences display in these moments are reportedly becoming increasingly toxic.

What was supposed to be a silly prom stream turned into an online storm, highlighting the downsides of living in a hyper-connected world where entertainment is instantly dissected and sometimes misinterpreted.

At the end of the day, FaZe Jason’s message was simple:

“Please be kind, we’re all human.”

And perhaps that’s what people need to hear more often, especially in a digital space where empathy too often takes a backseat to outrage.
