On August 29, the streaming community witnessed a major controversy involving Froste and 100 Thieves, as the former took to Twitter to describe his experience working with the esports powerhouse.

Froste broke his silence a year after The Mob was disbanded and leveled various accusations against the 100 Thieves. Some of the primary claims focused on the organization not paying content creators enough, compelling them to reside in a house near the 100 Thieves Creator House, and pocketing 95% of the revenue, among other things.

The Twitter conversation thread went viral, and Nadeshot hosted a livestream to address the former 100 Thieves member's allegations.
