Controversial YouTuber and streamer Brian Risso, better known by his online alias OnlyUseMeBlade, has been banned from the platform for hate speech. Brian is known for going on tirades while consuming alcohol on his channel and recently made headlines for allegedly saying the N-word on camera multiple times. This is not the first time that YouTube has terminated a channel belonging to him, with various scandals catching up to him in 2020.
However, he created another channel titled OUMB2 in July of 2021 and has been using it to reach his audience till it got banned today by YouTube. Fellow content creator Stonic10 talked about it on his livestream, where he stated that OnlyUseMeBlade had even sent him the official email citing "hate speech" as the reason.

"F*cking Blade has just messaged me. Blade has just texted. Yeah, it's official, Blade is banned for hate speech. He just texted me the email."
