Drama and controversy revolve around the many Twitch streamers and content creators streaming on the purple platform. While some of them cope and try to get ahead of various controversies, others are unable to handle the negatives and decide to take some time off.

On certain occasions, there have been Twitch streamers that have gone completely silent without giving any hint of their whereabouts. Some of them return after a long hiatus while others remain distant. Here are five Twitch streamers who disappeared mysteriously from the popular platform.

LeafyIsHere was one of the most prominent figures in the streaming scene. He was known for his drama and controversy-based content, where he targeted high-profile streamers and spoke about them to his well-established fan base.

The streamer and YouTuber has been inactive on his social media handles in recent times. Besides this, his Twitch account has been permanently banned due to multiple reports of harassment.

One of his last antics before disappearing from Twitch and YouTube was spreading rumors about Imane "Pokimane" where he tried to suggest that the Twitch star was in a relationship, a topic the popular streamer rarely discussed.

James "Phantoml0rd" was one of the first Twitch streamers to rise to fame on the platform, and was known for his League of Legends gameplay where he would innovate unique gameplay methods.

He later moved from League of Legends to Counter Strike: Global Offensive, where he focused on promoting gambling and weapon skin trading. It was later revealed that the Twitch streamer had been promoting a particular website without disclosing his part-ownership.

Following the entire fiasco, Phantoml0rd was never seen back on Twitch and his YouTube channel has not been updated since July 2019.


3) Daequan Loco

One of the most popular Fortnite content creators and Twitch streamers during the peak of the game, Daequan Loco is known for taking long breaks from his streaming life and returning after several months.

On January 24, 2022, the Twitch streamer made a comeback after more than a hundred days of hiatus. According to him, he mysteriously disappeared due to lack of internet at the 'Thoom House,' where he lived with his friend and fellow Fortnite streamer Darryl "Hamlinz".

Strangely, Daequan Loco seems to have disappeared once again after not updating his Twitter handle for more than a month. He was last seen streaming on Twitch on February 11, 2022, and has been radio silent ever since.


4) DrDisRespect

The charismatic "two-time champion" was mysteriously banned on Twitch and disappeared from Twitch back in 2020. Furthermore, the streamer did not speak or send through any messages to his community about his status on Twitch or about the situation he was in.

At the time of getting banned, DrDisrespect was one of the most followed Twitch streamers. A number of speculations by well-known insiders did come through, but were never proven to be real.

Unexpectedly, the streamer was then seen moving to YouTube Gaming in an unprecedented move. As of now, no one knows the reason for DrDisrespect getting banned on Twitch. He now continues to actively stream on YouTube Gaming instead of his old Twitch channel.


5) SkyDoesMinecraft

Adam Dahlberg, better known as “SkyDoesMinecraft,” is a former Minecraft streamer and content creator, who got embroiled in a major controversy. In January 2022, X user @Lizbuggie, the streamer's former partner, published a lengthy iCloud document accusing SkyDoesMinecraft of abuse. She also shared a series of private messages, in one of which Dahlberg used a racial slur. An excerpt from @Lizbuggie’s document reads:

“You use your fame, your name, and your platform to hide the disgusting and disgraceful things that you so claim not to do. You not only verbally abused and degraded me, the mother of your second child, you traumatized me and put me through things no one should ever have to experience. You hurt me for too long, and I am tired of feeling afraid of you and what speaking up may bring.”

He was also accused of unethical work practices by his employees and associates around this time.

SkyDoesMinecraft proceeded to take a break from the internet. On July 24, 2023, the 31-year-old issued a statement under the X handle @NetNobody and claimed that they are "not a horrible monster."

At the height of his fame, Adam had a massive following on YouTube, with his main channel, 'Sky Does Everything', boasting more than 11 million subscribers.
