Nicolas Kenn De Ballinthazy, popularly known as Sneako, has transitioned from a YouTuber who gained fame for his street interview segment “One Minute Interviews” to a Rumble streamer. Sneako initially gained attention in 2015 with his video titled ‘How People View You,’ where he delivered a monologue about public perception.
Having started his YouTube journey by streaming games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Sneako rose to prominence and was briefly part of Mr. Beast’s crew in 2018. However, his career took a downturn when he embraced red pill narratives endorsed by controversial figures like Andrew Tate. Hosting individuals like Nick Fuentes and supporting Matt Walsh’s documentary ‘What is a Woman’ led to Sneako’s ban from YouTube in October 2022. Subsequently, he was also removed from Twitch.
Despite multiple de-platforming affecting his viewership, the 25-year-old streamer continues on Rumble, maintaining a presence on social media through collaborations with influencers like Bradley Martyn.
In a recent sparring session with former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, captured during the Power Slap event at Durango Casino & Resort in Las Vegas, Sneako faced a spirited challenge. Despite taking significant hits and attempts to throw in the towel, he showcased determination during the intense session.
While the sparring may have seemed intense, there is no animosity between Sneako and Sean Strickland. At the event, Strickland commended Sneako, expressing his positive views despite some questionable actions in the past.
In a video shared by MMA Squad on YouTube, Strickland stated,
“I like Sneako. Somethings you’ve done are questionable, but you are better… You showed up, and you f*****g sparred, man. That’s what I’m talking about.” The acknowledgment highlighted a level of respect between the two, emphasizing Sneako’s commitment to stepping into the ring.
