Legendary Fortnite icon Tfue revisited his gaming days with Logan Paul and revealed that his rival, Ninja, had allegedly tried to get him permanently banned on Twitch.
Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins and Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney had one of the biggest rivalries back during the H1Z1 days, and their feud transitioned over to Fortnite.
Amid their rivalry, Tfue was banned on Twitch in 2018 for saying a racial slur on stream. While he was originally banned for 30 days, his suspension was reduced to a week.
However, while speaking with Logan Paul during a May 27 episode of IMPAULSIVE, Tenney revealed that Ninja was trying to get Twitch to make his ban indefinite.
Tfue accuses Ninja of going behind his back to get Twitch account permabanned
According to Tfue, after being briefly suspended for calling a player with a dark colored Fortnite character skin a racial slur, Ninja began speaking to Twitch staff.
“He reached out to my partnership manager and tried to get them to permanently terminate my account behind my back,” he alleged.
“That’s pretty serious,” Logan chimed in. “Because you were a threat, probably?”

“Yeah, I was a threat to him in the space,” Tenney nodded. “He tried to eliminate me. I mean, at the time I was mad, because I was like, ‘I know we’re rivals, but it was never that deep for me.’ So, I was just upset about that.”
Years later, in 2020, Ninja’s X, then known as Twitter, account was hacked and posted a tweet challenging Tfue to a fight.
Tfue responded by demanding Blevins step up and get into the ring with him – something his rival declined.
That said, Tfue told Logan, a retired professional fighter in his own right, that he ‘probably would have smoked’ Blevins had the two actually fought, noting that he did MMA as a kid.
In 2022, the two streamers appeared to publicly squash their beef after Ninja’s wife, Jessica Blevins, posted a photo of the three smiling and hanging out together, indicating that the duo were finally on good terms.
