Streamer Mikyle Rafiq, known popularly as N3on, shared an X post on December 10, writing that he would take some time off streaming. The reason is that he couldn’t get much sleep and would like to nap for 24 hours. The post read:
“I love u guys so much. Im lying down in bed thinking why did this happen to me. I would do anything to be able to get up and stream right now. Im gonna sleep for 24 hours straight and hope I wake up a new man. I’ll see you guys soon. Don’t forget about me please. We have too much sh*t coming up this month for this to be happening.”
The X post comes days after he shared another tweet, writing that he was feeling low. On December 1, N3on posted:
“I’m sorry guys I just haven’t been feeling the best. I’m gonna try to push through it for yall. I promise I’m not taking yall for granted just dealing with a lot of sh*t. See u tomorrow.”
On November 26, N3on wrote that he was going through some personal issues. Hence, he chose to refrain from streaming because he felt he would not be able to give his best. The post mentioned:
“Been going through some personal sh*t. I don’t wanna stream unless I give u my 100%. Love u guys so much im sorry I can’t be there for u guys every day. I’ll be back tomorrow.”
N3on shares his thoughts about LA and the levels of streaming
In July 2025, N3on sat for a conversation with Noah Kara. He said he was motivated to move out from LA as he felt that there was nothing left. Rafiq said:
“It's just like there's content creators here like but I don't really do stuff with other content creators much. Like for like a NBA player, an athlete or like an artist, they everyone stops by LA. Like Miami, I feel like from what I feel out like Miami is more like party based. No one wants to go out there and stream. But then when they're in LA, they're here to work.”
N3on explained that he didn’t like the people and the atmosphere in LA. He said that at first he thought the city was great, but over time he changed his mind. He remembered visiting earlier with a friend and feeling like the whole place looked dirty and unpleasant, even though his friend lived in a nice house.
He also said that simple things, like going to Target, became annoying because parking was difficult and everything felt like a hassle. He went on to say:
“Like LA itself, like West Hollywood, bro. I don't know, man. Sherman Oaks is cool, but my bad if I offend anyone who lives in LA, man.”
N3on commented that streaming has become a tough affair because of “insane” competition. He said that there are different levels of streaming. According to him, there is a level at which Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, and Adin Ross operate, and there is another level where others work. Rafiq said he was motivated to reach a higher level.
