Gtwist appears to break down during livestream
There is limited verified information about Gtwist outside his streaming activity. Current reports describe him as a young Kick streamer and minor, while some posts online claim he is around 13. That age has not been independently confirmed.
The clip that went viral is around two minutes long. Gtwist can be seen sitting at his gaming setup when an adult man enters the room. Reports identify the man as his father. He appears to make comments about Gtwist’s voice before grabbing him around the neck area and pulling him backward.
Gtwist then appears visibly distressed and begins crying before the stream ends.
A post sharing the footage claimed it was recorded shortly before the VOD was deleted. The clip spread rapidly on X, with copies appearing on different accounts after the original stream was no longer available. One video tracker showed the clip had reached millions of views within hours.
The footage has led to concern about Gtwist’s safety, especially because reports describe him as a minor. However, viewers do not have enough verified information to establish everything that happened before or after the portion shown online.
Gtwist Kick ban adds to questions around the incident
Gtwist’s Kick account was reportedly banned shortly after the incident. Al Bawaba reported that Kick was investigating the footage because it appeared to involve violence and a minor.
The reported ban has become another part of the discussion, although a platform ban by itself does not confirm what happened inside Gtwist’s home or establish that authorities took action.
