Jidon Armani Adams says streaming pushed him into controversies
Looking back on his time as a streamer, Adams said many of his biggest problems started while he was live in front of an audience. In the YouTube video, he admitted he felt like he was “spiraling” and “losing the plot,” adding that streaming often brought out a side of him he did not like.
“This is genuinely going to be my last video ever like this,” Adams said. “I’m never going to make a video like this again.”
