Quackity and BadBoyHalo's picture goes viral on Minecraft Twitter, Skeppy reacts

Minecraft streamer Alex "Quackity" recently uploaded a picture of himself and fellow content creator Darryl "BadBoyHalo" with a caption insinuating it was taken in a basement.

The tweet essentially commemorated the first time the two met in real life. The post went viral on Twitter, accruing almost 150k likes in a day.

The picture got the Minecraft community going because BadBoyHalo is said to be especially close to streamer Zak "Skeppy." The caption resulted in many fans and streamers poking fun at the fact that BadBoyHalo seemed to have replaced him with Quackity.

Skeppy himself replied to the thread, jokingly expressing disappointment and hoping that the picture was photoshopped for him and BadBoyHalo's sake:

Therefore, the "basement" jab in the caption of Quackity's post created a frenzy among their fans and peers, who quickly took to Twitter to express their thoughts.

100 Thieves creator Tina Kitten's tweet about the post elicited a response from both streamers:
