NICKMERCS addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding Dr Disrespect on Twitch on June 27, 2024. He wanted to make it clear that his relationship with Dr Disrespect wasn't as close as many thought.

Dr Disrespect, a well-known creator who was mysteriously banned from Twitch in 2020, is once again at the center of controversy. On June 21, former Twitch employee Cody Conners alleged that an anonymous streamer had been sexting with a minor via Twitch DMs. Since then, there has been much speculation, with many blaming Dr Disrespect.

In response to the ongoing discourse, Dr Disrespect posted an X-thread on June 26th, confirming that he had sent messages to a minor that were "in the direction of inappropriate," but maintained his innocence of any wrongdoing. This admission has led to significant repercussions, including his removal from Midnight Society and the removal of his character from the upcoming NBA 2K24 update.

NICKMERCS didn't mince his words when he decried the allegations in his latest stream. "He was a friend. People think we're best friends – I don't even know the man outside of a wig. We took a picture together and, newsflash, he had a wig on and we talked for eight minutes," he clarified during his stream. "In any world, that's unacceptable," he added. He also questioned the mentality behind such actions, asking: "Where the fuck is your head and your heart to do something like that?"
