TheBurntPeanut found himself at the center of online talk after fresh claims questioned how his streams pull huge viewer numbers. The discussion began to accelerate on February 4, 2026 when an X user accused him of viewbotting and said his chat did not match his high viewer count. The topic spread to X, Twitch and Kick within hours of its beginning. Instead of staying quiet, TheBurntPeanut spoke directly to viewers during his February 5, 2026 Twitch livestream. He said viewbotting claims are often used when people cannot accept growth and added that there is no clear way to prove such claims.
His response did not slow the talk, but it pushed major streamers to react. Soon after, three well-known names stepped in publicly. xQc, Stable Ronaldo, and Noko all shared clips or posts defending TheBurntPeanut. Each one pushed back on the idea that his success came from cheating or fake viewers.
xQc, Stable Ronaldo, and Noko explain why TheBurntPeanut’s rise looks real, not forced
xQc watched videos that alleged TheBurntPeanut cheated in ARC Raiders during a Kick livestream which he hosted on February 5 2026. He laughed at the accusations before he explained their irrationality by showing how TheBurntPeanut played differently from typical cheating behavior. xQc said, “TheBurntPeanut is now being accused of cheating in Arc Raiders following botting allegations. This makes no sense. The stats do not line up.”
Stable Ronaldo also spoke on February 5, 2026, during his Twitch stream. He focused on numbers, growth, and time spent streaming. He said TheBurntPeanut’s rise came after years of low viewership and long hours. Stable Ronaldo explained, “This did not happen overnight. He streamed for years with very few viewers. Then the right game hit at the right time.” He compared the moment to how Ninja once exploded during Fortnite’s rise.
Noko shared his thoughts in an X post on the same day. He said this pattern shows up again and again on Twitch. A streamer grows fast, people turn on them, and old clips get used to push hate. Noko wrote, “Some people just do not like seeing others win.”
Together, their reactions painted one clear picture. Growth can look strange from the outside, but long hours, timing, and game choice still matter.
TheBurntPeanut faced fresh claims of viewbotting and cheating in early February 2026. Instead of backing down, he addressed the claims live. Streamers xQc, Stable Ronaldo, and Noko publicly defended him using clips, data, and past examples. Their reactions shifted the focus from accusations to how fast growth can naturally happen online.
