Controversial streamer Nico ‘Sneako’ Kenn De Balinthazy is once again making headlines after posting a series of worrying messages on X during and after his Australia visit. The latest post, shared on May 7, 2026, said, “I am ready to die.” The message came just hours after Australian media reports claimed the streamer had been banned from the country for allegedly spreading hate speech. The situation quickly became bigger after Sky News Australia aired a segment on May 5 calling Sneako “blatantly anti-Semitic” and questioning why he had been allowed into Australia. Soon after that report, Australian Minister of Home Affairs Troy Burke reportedly issued a lifetime ban against the streamer. According to the report, officials believed Sneako came to Australia to “spread hatred.”
However, Sneako strongly denied those claims online. He said he was not deported and insisted he returned to the United States by choice. A few hours after posting “I am ready to die,” he added another message on X saying, “I was being followed by federal agents in Australia.”
