Mikelpee shares a clip featuring ItsSliker asking for money

In the one-minute Twitch clip, the streamer voiced "cringe" for requesting financial assistance from the viewer and pleaded with them to keep the conversation personal:

"I hope you don't hate me on this. It's so cringe, and I'm cringe for asking my brother, please do not hate me. Please keep it personal as well. Basically, my bank account got locked. This has happened for, like, three, four days? I've been asking around people."

ItsSliker claimed that his bank account had been locked and that his credit was due the next day. Thus, he resorted to requesting money from individuals who "actually work":

"Suddenly, well, today; tomorrow is the last day until my credit starts getting f***ked up. It got locked out, and I was looking for people that actually work, that could I borrow some, and I'll pay back. Genuinly. Give me two months, and I'll pay back."

Sliker revealed that he had also approached a few streamers for money, but they were unable to assist him. That is why he felt compelled to contact his Twitch subscribers:

"But please, don't feel forced to do this. I'm sorry I couldn't get into a call. This is so; I'm feeling so embarrassed. I've asked a few streamers, and they couldn't help. Yeah, I don't mind, that's okay. So, I went out, asked a few subs I've noticed, and yeah."
