Fortnite streamer Ninja has been letting off some serious anger after a recent in-game altercation with another player.
Ninja was apparently streaming some more of the Battle Royale game from Epic Games when he was killed by a competitor – pretty normal right? Well, after taking down Ninja, the player then apparently danced on his body.
Clearly incredibly angered by the situation, Ninja vented via livestream about the incident, and he didn’t seem to see the funny side…
Speaking about the incident, in which he threatened to get the player banned, Ninja said: “I was completely out of line…100%. That was obvious…
“There’s so much misinformation. ‘Ninja got him banned.’ I didn’t get anyone banned. Did I say I was going to? Absolutely…
“It’s getting completely blown out of proportion.”
Fans are incredibly unhappy with Ninja’s behaviour, branding him ‘toxic’ to the Fortnite community.
Epic will never ban people for no reason even if I say anything.. you assuming they do is naive. Stop playing the victim, you aren’t getting banned, I am sorry. Stop milking it.

“Ninja is too overrated, he got mad cause the other guy killed him. He also thinks he streamed sniped him because he danced,” reads one comment on the video clip. “I mean i always dance when i kill someone. Ninja trys to find any exuse [sic] when he gets deleted. Lol 😂 Ninja=overrated👎”
In a clip of the incident itself, Ninja can be heard telling the player: “If you leave right now I will not report you,” despite having already reported him for ‘Stream sniping.’
Talk about timing when he emot3d when Ben asked. Odds were in my favor but I guess I was wrong! Good thing epic just investigates when I question a player and not ban them immediately

Naturally, people aren’t pleased with Ninja right now, with one commenter saying: “Bruh ninja should get banned for falsely reporting someone.”
Another YouTube user commented: “Wow I was a Ninja fan but he is soooo cringe I hate him now.”
