Dr. Disrespect, the ban still hurts today
This is what he says now: In a stream from April 8th. will Dr. Disrespect asked if he still makes music and the question brings up the old story.
He says that when the slippery, disgusting purple snakes banned him and took away everything he had built up back then, he fell into a hole and went through a difficult time like never in his life.
Back then he had great ideas for music – there was really something to the fact that emotionally turbulent phases promoted creativity.
The hardest time was the first year after the ban, when he was still in the dark about why he was banned; he was only told that after a year.
“So much lost”
What has he lost? Dr. Disrespect explains in the video that at the time he was facing a big deal with sports shoe manufacturer Nike and a deal with sunglasses giant Oakley. He even has prototypes that he can show.
How did the ban end? Overall, this is a very unsatisfactory situation. Because apparently Dr. Disrespect and Amazon later legally agreed on the ban and settled their legal dispute, but also decided not to talk about it publicly.
Originally, Dr. Disrespect to sue Twitch. The dispute was then resolved in March 2022 and Dr. Disrespect simply announces that both sides have admitted no wrongdoing.
What makes this worth seeing?? Dr. Disrespect is usually a cool fictional character who shows no weakness. Only in rare moments does the armor of sunglasses and thick mustache break and he shows what’s really going on inside him.
And the Twitch ban really took a toll on him, admitting that he “felt things like never before,” which inspired him to write songs, is probably the most honest and emotional thing you’ll hear from him.
