Solluminati, a well-known internet personality and streamer, has been banned from Twitch, and fans are completely shocked. The news broke on May 3, right after he made his long-awaited return to streaming following a five-year hiatus. Just as his fans were getting excited to see him back on screen, this sudden ban has stirred a major conversation all across social media.

According to the circulating clips from the stream, the reason for the ban seems to be that in his stream, he was talking about LGBTQ+ topics and used a transphobic slur while making his point. Even though he followed it up by saying he had no hate towards the community, the damage had already been already done. The clip went viral quickly, and many people believe that this moment is what got him banned from the platform. Twitch hasn’t released an official statement explaining why they banned him, but most fans think this clip is the reason.

Solluminati himself responded to the ban on his X account. He tweeted,

“I JUST GOT BANNED ON TWITCH!!! sorry yall”

This made it clear that he’s aware of the situation, but didn’t give much detail beyond that. As of now, the length of the ban is still unknown. Some are wondering whether it is a temporary suspension or a full-on permanent ban.

What Happens Next for Solluminati?

Now the big question is—what is next for Solluminati? His comeback Twitch stream had fans really hyped. He still has a loyal following, and many people were happy to see him return after so many years. But this sudden ban has left everyone wondering what his next move will be. If Twitch doesn’t reverse the ban, it’s likely he will look for a new platform to stream on. Kick is the most likely choice. It’s less strict, and Adin Ross has already said publicly that he wants Solluminati to join.

There is also a chance that Solluminati said much besides that one tweet, but knowing his bold personality, fans are expecting him to speak up soon. In the meantime, many are waiting for Twitch to confirm the actual reason behind the ban. Until then, the internet continues to debate whether it was fair or not.
