In a surprising turn of events, Twitch’s big names such as Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel, Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker and others such as MoistCr1TiKaL’s names have been found in a lawsuit that will be filed in the court against Bored Ape NFT, as these streamers expressed their protest against this platform.
Yuga Labs, the owner of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) had filed a lawsuit against two individuals- Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen on the basis of false marketing, copyright infringement and more. These two individuals have now given a counter claim against the NFT platform, where they decided to name some big streamers that are equally critical of BAYC NFT.
However, it is important to note here that the counter lawsuit filed by the individuals might not drag these streamers into court as their names have just been used as references, rather as parties in the case. Some of the streamers have already reacted on this development such as HasanAbi who is wondering if he needs to visit the court.
