On March 7, 2023, Twitch sensation Kyedae went live on her channel to try Valorant's newest Agent, Gekko. While in the pre-game lobby, the content creator's attention was drawn to the in-game chat box, where she noticed some questionable messages.
She saw that Timmy "iiTzTimmy" had written some distressing things about her recent cancer diagnosis. Kyedae then realized that the former's account had been hacked.
After reading what the hacker had written, she was taken aback and read it aloud to her audience:
"Oh my god. I think it said, 'Kyedae, cancer is going to kill you, you fat w**re.' Oh my god! That's what he was typing!"

Kyedae was shocked after seeing what the hacker wrote about her cancer diagnosis
Kyedae was four hours into her broadcast on March 7 and was waiting in the pre-game lobby. She then noticed messages from iiTzTimmy in the multiplayer chat room, one of which read:
"You can't escape chemo, it's coming for you."
The Twitch streamer continued scrolling and noticed that the person who hacked iiTzTimmy's account had written more hurtful things about her cancer diagnosis. She then mentioned that the 100 Thieves-affiliated content creator had stated that he leaked details about his Valorant account:
"Okay, what was weird to me, was Timmy. I was like, 'Wait, Timmy's...' Oh s**t! I thought it was a joke, when he said, 'I leaked my account so a random is joining off it.' Oh, no! That's too bad."

iiTzTimmy decided to leave the in-game party and apologized for accidentally leaking his account. The 21-year-old content creator responded:
"No, no, it's not your fault. It's fine. S**t happens. Wait, let's try to get you an account, okay? Message me."
