In this episode, I catch up with one of my good friends, Aiden. We talk about how he's been keeping it real, what he's up to now, and what he plans to do in the future.
00:10:55.680Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm streaming right now, but, bro, like, this isn't my bread and butter.
00:10:59.500Like, I can literally stop this whenever and still be perfectly good.
00:11:03.900Okay, but, but, but, but regardless, it has nothing to do with what I'm about to say.
00:11:06.440And what I'm about to say is the fact that you're still banned on Twitch is crazy when, in reality, it shouldn't be a thing where you're canceled and you're completely banned forever.
00:11:15.740It should be a thing where you're better yourself and you show you're better yourself.
00:11:18.120Like, for example, you met up with Pokimane and you made things right.
00:11:21.020That should show Twitch, okay, maybe he is learning and understanding.
00:11:25.220That is how it should, like, the fact that it's too corporate to a level where their egos are too fucking big to see that you genuinely went out of your way to realize what you did was wrong and try to make it better and try to make up for it and change for the better.
00:11:38.380And they didn't, and they still didn't, you know, reverse the banner in any way or give you an option or anything like that.
00:15:34.420I think that shit was a nigga at Twitch.
00:15:36.220So if some nigga at Twitch is tweeting, is treating one of their top creators like that, then like, of course, I'm not going to fuck with me.
00:16:43.640I made that tweet because I was basically saying fuck cancer culture because everyone was turning on me because everyone was trying to get me out of it, basically.
00:18:14.600I feel like the best thing that we can do as content creators is because we have, like, bro, it's crazy, man.
00:18:20.280Like, I'm really just now realizing the influence that we have.
00:18:24.640And first thing first, everybody that's in my stream, everybody that's in Aiden's stream, and if you guys watch Kai, Bruce, whoever you guys watch, Hassan, Anabi, anybody, it doesn't matter.
00:19:54.280I actually 100% agree with you on that, bro.
00:19:56.100I think it's like – and the thing is a bunch of celebrities and people with influence and stuff, they try to be God, which is obviously a fucking – a huge – obviously that's like what every book, whether you believe in the Koran, the Bible, the Old Testament, which is the Torah.
00:20:13.300If you believe in all these books, they all say false prophets, which are people trying to be God, trying to preach things.
00:20:25.820Like this, like the emotional response, whether they were for you or against you, against your tweet, I was just – in my mind, I was thinking to myself – and even Twitch, bro, like I'm – this isn't me like singling out anybody else.
00:20:42.140Even with me with Twitch, like, damn, I really let a corporation banning me, get me out of my emotional state.
00:20:48.480Like, you tweeting what you tweeted got people getting out of their emotional state, whether they were against you or for you.
00:20:55.540Like, there's no reason for you to get out of your emotional state, like, lose peace of mind over some text that someone typed on an app that you had to sign up for to be a part of.
00:21:06.440There is no reason that should ever happen, bro.
00:21:08.740And the only reason that stuff's happening is because of idolization.
00:21:40.400And that's why, like, you know, I went through a little arc where back in – it was, like, August where I was over here talking to Sneeko and fucking Hassan and Destiny where I was just going through, like, this debate arc.
00:21:54.920So the spirit of debating is a very – it's a very, like, weird spirit where, like, once you get into debating and just talking about things, you can't stop.
00:22:19.060She had tweeted out and she said how she and her mom are adopting a child.
00:22:24.400And she was just asking adoptee people, you know, what was the best steps.
00:22:29.580And I just replied and I was like, yo, Valkyrie, congratulations.
00:22:32.640And I said, if you just so happen to get a child of a different ethnicity or heritage, please be sure to, like, teach that child their heritage or their, you know, their – whatever race they are, if it's not the same as you, just so that they can be connected to that side as well.
00:22:52.380I was like, oh, also – I said, also – I said – I read that you said that it was just you and your mom.
00:22:59.060I was like, make sure that you have a male role model involved as well so that way they can have a motherly and fatherly figure.
00:23:07.900And then under that tweet, my first tweet, like, it got love.
00:23:12.200But then my second tweet, like, that was the one that got the most engagement because people are like, bro, you saying single mamas can't fucking do this or da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:23:22.580And, like, people were over here, like, getting mad and then someone – I think someone commented and they were like, oh, so I get to fuck single mothers and stuff like that.
00:24:56.220And I think what you said is literally there's nothing wrong with it, bro.
00:25:01.940I think the way that people try to flip narratives and just try to make people look to be like these bad guys because of this Twitter shit.
00:26:07.500I look at cancel culture like this, man, you know?
00:26:10.580Me, personally, I feel like if we read the Bible, the Bible tells us everything with how to deal with life.
00:26:17.600And in the Bible, it says, if the world loves you, then you hate me.
00:26:23.380And then it says, if the world hates you, then you love me.
00:26:26.440So, what it's basically saying is Christ is saying, like, if you're a true Christian and you follow the way of life, the world is not going to like you.
00:26:36.200They're going to call you a problem, this and that.
00:26:39.140And so, you got to look at it like that.
00:26:41.140If Christ is saying that you're already going to be, quote-unquote, canceled, then you shouldn't have to worry about what the world's going to say.
00:26:49.120Like, as long as you're safe and in Christ's hands, that's all that matters at the end of the day.
00:26:54.140How religious would you say, like, how connected with religion, like, Christianity would you say you are, 1 through 10?
00:26:59.7801 through 10, man, there's definitely always room for improvement, bro.
00:27:03.820I can't put myself on a scale, but I would definitely say, like, I'm a far walk away.
00:27:09.900And I'm trying my best just every day to get closer.
00:27:13.140How do you – okay, I love – how do you feel about, like, other religions, like Judaism and, like, you know, Islam and, like, how do you feel about other religions?
00:27:20.180You know, I mean, it might be kind of controversial to say this, but I feel like, you know, Christianity and Judaism kind of really go hand in hand.
00:27:39.900And then Islam, I really don't know too much about Islam, but I actually have a Koran downstairs because I like to educate myself on all things, you know?
00:27:48.360Like, I like to be – I want to be well-versed.
00:27:50.740Like, someone's talking about anime, I want to be able to chat about anime.
00:27:54.160If someone's talking about football, I want to be able to talk about football.
00:27:56.880If someone's talking about fitness, I want to talk about fitness.
00:28:26.160I think the one thing I truly felt bad with you about this whole thing is it's one thing about the other side, like, hating on you because, like, you know, they've never really liked you.
00:28:59.360And, you know, people accuse me of being racist and accuse me of these horrible things.
00:29:04.880I look at it and I'm like, I want to find out – I want to go in their shoes and I want to find out why they feel these things about – feel these ways about me.
00:29:10.900You know, the definition of racism is hurting – is hating someone because of their, you know, their race.
00:29:18.140It's like if I genuinely did not like you, you know, Jideon, because you're a black, that's me being a racist.
00:29:24.560You know, I just – I don't ever look at – see, I'm myself.
00:29:31.480So, that's why I look around and I called a lot of people that day and I'm asking, you know, like, do you really feel like I'm racist?
00:29:36.160Do you feel like I'm a genuine racist person?
00:29:38.600And I think a lot of people just did a lot of things to stretch it and drag it on Twitter because it got engagement that day.
00:29:46.040I hadn't streamed in three days and I was, like, number three or four trending on Twitter.
00:30:44.780And, like, you know, so it's like, I feel like if you're going to be there at the beginning when you're weird, you know, be there all the way at the end.
00:30:51.600But then again, I feel like that shows that this isn't real, you know what I mean?
00:30:56.820Like, as much as you guys tell us, oh, I love you, da-da-da, da-da-da, we do one thing that can make you guys mad, bro.
00:31:04.100Like, you guys might not fuck with us no more.
00:32:07.160I miss those days, you know, where I was more childish and I miss those days where I would say crazy things for reactions and clicks and, you know, farming and shit.
00:32:16.240But I'm in a better place now in my real life than I was back then.
00:32:24.140Yeah, some people don't know that about me.
00:32:25.380People don't know that like at that time where on stream I was making these comments and doing these certain things, people don't know that I was really going through it.
00:33:19.540I would definitely say that social media is probably one of the top 30 jobs in the world where it can lead to like real mental issues because it's like, I'm not going to lie.
00:33:32.540Like it's actually a mental issue that people.
00:33:36.480Chat, stop calling me a kike, please, bro.
00:34:37.340Like basically what he's saying is like they will only do shit for social media, like go places and take pictures to look like you own shit or you're on certain trips to look exotic and shit.
00:34:54.180And that's why it's getting so bad because, dude, now it's getting to a point where everyone is feeling entitled and that like on Twitter, especially.
00:35:03.700So I think Twitter and TikTok is so bad.
00:35:25.180You've got to believe in God and really realize what's a trap and what's not a trap and like use your head and use signs around you and all these things and intuition, you know?
00:35:58.820Like, okay, on surface level, this isn't bad.
00:36:01.580But then when you really get down to it, it's like, damn, like, really, like, I see how this is affecting me, my faith, the way I'm moving and stuff like that.
00:36:11.880Like, even though the views are up right now, I just had a number one video on YouTube, I'm having to, like, humble myself because, bro, like, it was a point back in – it was, like, December and –
00:36:29.020Where whenever I was scrolling and I would see a TikTok of me, like, I would read the comments and someone would be like, y'all, man, Jadion fell off hard.
00:36:37.160Or they would say, damn, bro, like, I can't believe I used to fuck with this dude and that and that.
00:36:42.260And it hurt me to the point where it was just like, fuck, you know, I don't want to be on TikTok and Twitter because I don't want to see that stuff.
00:36:48.020But now looking back at it, like, I had one clip that went viral and I read the comments and they were saying the exact same shit.
00:36:56.440And I just, like, read it and I was like, damn.
00:37:01.740And then we were coming back from London and my editor was like, bro, man, these dudes were saying all this – I mean, my family was like, bro, these people were saying all this stuff about you and stuff like that.
00:37:09.880And I was just like, bro, it is what it is, man, you know?
