Dontai "ImDontai" reacted to Complex's top ten most powerful hip-hop streamers list on his March 13, 2025, stream and could not believe he ranked lower than Kick streamer N3on. The list, which came out on the same day, ranks the top ten livestreamers who have had the most impact on the world of hip-hop and rap, placing ImDontai at #10.
Dontai appreciated being included by Complex, but he expressed discontent after realizing who else was on the list in a higher position than him. On his stream, the Twitch creator said:
"I see that I am on the list, I'm like, 'Oh sh*t, I appreciate that, shout out to them.' That's fire, I do appreciate them for even including me in the list, you know? They didn't have to. But then I see who I am below. Shout out to Josh [YourRAGE], I am going to go back in order."
After praising FaZe Clan streamer YourRAGE, ImDontai brought up the fact that N3on was ranked higher than him at #8 and claimed that he could not "understand it":
"But I see, shout out to N3on, bro! Nothing against N3on, but when we talk about hip-hop, my head didn't automatically click to like, 'Oh sh*t, N3on definitely for sure got to be on this list.' So, when I see that, I am like, 'Damn, N3on 8. I'm 10?' I don't understand it!"
He went on to claim that he knows his worth and highlighted his influence in the hip-hop scene through his streaming, saying:
"I definitely appreciate Complex, man, it's not an ego thing. It's just you got to know, you got to know your worth, bro. I know my impact and things, I know that when it comes to music especially, people really look to see what I got to say, what my reactions are."
