While neither the streamer nor the platform has revealed the reason for the suspension, several netizens speculated that the action was taken because SoLLUMINATI used a transphobic slur live on stream.

In a 49-second video posted on X, Javontay was heard saying the following:

"I have no problem with gays, bisexuals, tr****es. Bro, every gay person I met throughout my life, it was probably, like, two gay n****s in my school, when I was in high school. They didn't bother nobody. They just hung with girls. Y'all don't know how gay n****s is. They didn't bother nobody."

On May 4, 2025, SoLLUMINATI took to YouTube to break his silence regarding the Twitch ban. Claiming that he "doesn't feel safe" on the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform, the 32-year-old said:

"I want to be honest with y'all - this is the most love and just chill I have ever been in throughout my whole YouTube career. It was no drama. It was so peaceful. It was all love. And I still got banned? I'mma be honest with y'all - I don't feel safe on Twitch. I don't. I can't. And I dropped videos about this s**t in the past. I dropped it on Twitch. So, I was telling y'all, like, you have so much freedom to do stuff on other platforms and stuff."

The Michigan native went on to say that he was "harmless" while broadcasting on Twitch:

"And on Twitch, it's like, I can't even... bro, I was harmless! Y'all seen it. I didn't do nothing! I didn't do nothing! And people keep clipping s**t thinking of what I did. Bro, I can't say... they talking about ToS and certain words you can't say. Like, bro, my n***a, I didn't do nothing, man. I didn't do s**t."
