Controversial internet personality N3on has ignited a firestorm of criticism after a shocking confrontation in an Australian souvenir shop, where he was filmed using a deeply offensive slur against a young woman during a live stream.
A Live-Streamed Insult Escalates
The incident, which occurred recently, saw the Twitch streamer, whose real name is Rangesh Mutama, react aggressively after a young woman bumped into his shoulder. Footage shared by a fan page on X on Friday captured Mutama's immediate reaction: "What the hell?... These f***king Aussies, man. Some of them are just rude."
The 21-year-old, known for his provocative online persona, then followed the woman as she browsed, claiming to his camera that she had deliberately pushed him. After a failed attempt at a sarcastic greeting, the situation deteriorated rapidly. As the camera lingered on the woman, Mutama was clearly heard calling her a 'c***'.
Father Confronts Streamer's Entourage
The woman swiftly retorted, "Are you going to say that to my face?" to which Mutama callously replied, "It's a nice word to say," before accusing her of bumping into him "for no reason." The woman then located her father within the store and recounted the event.
The footage reached its peak tension as the protective father directly confronted Mutama's team. "Please don't tell my daughter that... don't swear at my daughter," he warned, squaring up to the streamer's bodyguards. The video concludes with Mutama's entourage attempting to de-escalate the volatile situation.
A History of Controversy and Crypto Ventures
This is not the first time Rangesh Mutama has found himself at the centre of a scandal. He first gained notoriety as a teenager by faking his own death at age 14. In a separate incident years later, he was arrested in Dubai for filming in a restricted area.
His current visit to Australia has been marked by high-profile associations. He celebrated New Year's Eve in Sydney with ex-rapper and crypto entrepreneur Iggy Azalea. The pair have a business connection, having launched a cryptocurrency together in November of last year.
Mutama's recent YouTube content features the duo on a yacht, Azalea giving him a haircut, and an Australian food 'Mukbang'—a trend involving eating large quantities of food on camera. The streamer, who began his career live-streaming games like Fortnite at just 12 years old, continues to blend entertainment with relentless controversy.
