Popular streamer Sykkuno, long known for his calm, soft-spoken persona, is now at the center of a growing controversy that has left fans stunned and divided.
The streaming world has found its newest, rather disturbing controversy involving popular VTuber Sykkuno. The Twitch streamer, who has long been adored for his so-called wholesome persona, is now the biggest target of hate in the community for a growing controversy that began with a fellow VTuber's brutal exposé.
On April 10, 2026, VTuber HemomalVT published a detailed Google document accusing Sykkuno of being a "cheater, manipulator, and predator.” She attached audio recordings as evidence of his alleged manipulation, and the post has since sparked intense debate in the gaming world.
Hemomal shared a 32-page Google Doc on Friday, exposing Sykkuno's alleged pattern of manipulative behaviour with multiple women over the years, with his targets particularly being the "smaller or up-and-coming content creators." Blatantly labelling the 34-year-old streamer as a "serial cheater", Hemomal wrote in her document how he used to be a role model for her, and how the facade broke when she learned about him. She wrote:
"He (Sykkuno) had been my role model and someone I looked up to for a long time... However, what I learned about Sykkuno after that day would make me regret my decision. Sykkuno is not the kind, soft-spoken character you see on stream. He is a serial cheater, liar, and manipulator who uses his status to get what he wants from as many women as possible, more specifically, ones who are smaller or up-and-coming content creators, knowing that he can take advantage of them. "
The influencer outlined what she describes as a pattern of behaviour involving rapid emotional escalation, secrecy, and multiple relationships. She described how, beginning with a casual interaction, her relationship with Sykkuno intensified unusually fast, including private conversations, discussions about meeting in real life, and even long-term plans.
What she didn't know at that time was that Sykkuno was not single when he pursued her. HemomalVT claims he had a long-term girlfriend while simultaneously engaging with multiple women, without being transparent with anyone about it. She mentioned fellow creator, Elfilea, in her claim, suggesting the alleged behaviour may extend beyond just a single case. She wrote:
"After speaking to Elfilea a few days ago, we were able to corroborate our experiences with Sykkuno and learn that we were both victims of his... Sykkuno is known to send hundreds of dollars to the girls he wants to get involved with.
This screenshot is from when he took my friend Elfilea to Paris during the 2025 TFT tournament, along with sending her 500 euros to help her move into her new apartment."
Hemomal came prepared in her brutal exposé, attaching numerous screenshots, payment receipts, alleged DMs with multiple women, and a voice recording to support her claims.
HemomalVT claims that smaller female creators were often approached and that emotional closeness was often accompanied by expensive gifts or financial gestures. She attached screenshots of payments made to other smaller creators, alleging the streamer's "sugar daddy"-esque behaviour, such as paying another girl's flight to accompany him and "pretty much taking care of her financially during the entire trip".
The streamer mentioned how both she and Elfilea found out about Sykkuno's dating pattern after learning about his long-term girlfriend, whom he had been with since 2021. Sykkuno was allegedly two-timing with Hemomal and Elfilea, while offering to move in with one and spending time in Paris with the other. She wrote:
"After Elfilea’s Paris trip, and 2 weeks after he had started talking to me, saying things like how he wants to move in with me and such, he would message Elfilea asking her if she’ll be at Offkai. This is proof that he’d be talking to more than one woman at the same time, planning a hook-up for every event he went to. He was doing this while giving me the impression that he wanted something long-term, and all while also having a girlfriend since 2021."
Sykunno, whose real name is Thomas, is a popular American gamer and streamer of Chinese and Vietnamese descent. Born in June 1992 in Los Angeles, California, he garnered the internet's attention for his soft-spoken nature, wholesome personality, gaming content, and collaborations with other big creators. He reportedly graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Master’s in Statistics.
Thomas began his streaming journey in 2011, when he joined YouTube and started uploading League of Legends commentary videos. During the Among Us boom, he gained massive popularity and recognition, and he started streaming with top streamers like Valkyrae, Pokimane, Corpse Husband, and others. After signing an exclusive streaming deal with YouTube Gaming in 2022, he became one of the biggest creators, building a reputation that stood out in online gaming.
Over time, Sykkuno expanded into games like Valorant, GTA roleplay, and Minecraft, while maintaining millions of followers across platforms. He returned to Twitch in 2024 and has since been a regular streamer on the platform. His image as a kind and drama-free creator became a key part of his appeal. With over 500 million views across various platforms, he currently has around 3.9 million Twitch followers, 2.7 million YouTube subscribers, and almost 3 million followers on X and Instagram combined.
As of now, Sykkuno has not issued a public statement addressing the allegations. However, HemomalVT's tweet has already garnered over 20 million views. What are your thoughts on these claims?
