At the two-hour mark of the livestream, Boogie2988 and Destiny got into a heated argument, with the 49-year-old accusing the Kick streamer of "encouraging" people to "cut" themselves.
Boogie2988 brought up Destiny's recent controversy about his comments on Donald Trump's attempted assassination and remarked:
"Are you encouraging people to cut? Go f**k yourself! I used to cut. I don't know, you're encouraging people to cut! You're encouraging people to cut their f**king arms! That's what I f**king heard! The guy who laughed at f**king Donald Trump's assassination attempt is telling people to cut their f**king arms. Go f**k yourself! Oh, you want to see that? Hold on, okay. I'll do it. Give me 30 seconds."
Hearing this, Destiny responded:
"Holy s**t. The next era of Boogie's self-harm. No, he's waiting for you (Keemstar) to tell him to stop. That's what he's doing. He's waiting. He's going to come back with the razor and he's going to hold it up, and he's going to..."
A few moments later, Boogie2988 reappeared on the podcast, holding a knife and saying:
"No, he wants me to. He told me to, right? He told me to.... Destiny, you f**king piece of s**t!"
At that point, Keemstar ended the podcast episode and removed Boogie2988 from the Discord call. Commenting on the situation, Keemstar said:
"All right. No. No, no. No, no. F**king no! No! God, what the f**k? No. What the f**k! I don't even know what to say."
