What content does Lacy stream on Twitch?

In June 2023, with around 80K followers on Twitch, Nick created a viral moment by shaving his eyebrows during a subathon. DJ Alan Walker acknowledged his dedication by donating 200K bits, approximately $2K, showcasing the impact of his content and community support.
Nick has been involved in disputes with other content creators, such as a recent feud with fellow streamer Nicholas "Jynxzi." Nick took sides with Cody "Clix" during their ongoing dispute, prompting a response from Jynxzi, who accused Nick of being biased.
The streamer collaborated with IShowSpeed on various occasions, including hosting a 20v1 online dating stream. The entire VOD of this stream was uploaded to his YouTube channel. Additionally, in February 2024, after being challenged by IShowSpeed, he shaved his head to mimic the iconic hairdo of Brazilian Ronaldo.
