Ninja banned on TikTok for 'Glizzy Overdrive' impersonation during livestream: 'I violated community guidelines'

MIAMI, FLORIDA: Popular streaming sensation Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins found himself in an unexpected predicament during a recent TikTok livestream when he attempted to replicate the viral 'Glizzy Overdrive' video, only to have his stream abruptly shut down by the platform.

While Ninja may not command the same level of viewership as during his peak when he streamed Fortnite alongside notable celebrities like Drake and Travis Scott, he remains a prominent figure in the gaming and streaming industry.

His enduring appeal continues to sustain a thriving streaming career, even though he no longer has an exclusive agreement with any specific platform.

Instead, Ninja has adopted an open approach, streaming his content across multiple platforms, making it accessible to viewers on their preferred platforms.

However, this newfound freedom in streaming also comes with its share of risks, which Ninja discovered the hard way.

In a recent attempt to entertain his audience, he ventured into the world of TikTok, joining the trend of imitating 'Glizzy Overdrive' clips that have taken social media platforms by storm.

Ninja reacts to TikTok livestream ban

Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins recently found himself in an unexpected predicament during a TikTok livestream when he attempted to replicate the viral 'Glizzy Overdrive' video, only to have his stream quickly terminated by the platform.

The incident left Ninja both amused and bewildered as he grappled with the apparent contradiction in the platform's community guidelines.

Ninja was promptly removed from his TikTok livestream and quickly grasped the reason behind it. He initially laughed off the situation but soon became visibly perplexed by the abrupt suspension. "I violated community guidelines, dude," he remarked in disbelief.

"Let me get this straight. A guy can dress up as a hot dog and literally suck glizzies for like four hours straight, but I impersonate him one time and I'm banned in the first 30 seconds?"

TikTok live bans don’t usually last long, typically only around 24-48 hours, though it depends on the severity of the violation. Some bans could last up to 180 days, though at the time of writing, it’s unclear how long Ninja’s ban is expected to last.

Needless to say, he managed to stay live on Twitch despite his Glizzy Overdrive, with the Amazon-owned platform evidently not taking offense to his actions.
