April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler Blevins, popularly known as “Ninja,” has become a household name in gaming and streaming. As of 2024, his net worth is estimated to be around $40 million US dollars, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But how did he achieve this impressive figure? Let’s delve into the journey of this gaming sensation.

Born on June 5, 1991, in Detroit, Michigan, Tyler Blevins began his journey in the gaming world at a young age. His father introduced him to video games, and by the time he was in high school, he was already competing in video game tournaments. His professional gaming career took off in 2009, starting with Halo 3. Over the years, he played for renowned organizations like Team Liquid, Cloud9, and Renegades.

Ninja’s popularity skyrocketed when he began playing Fortnite Battle Royale. His Twitch followers grew exponentially, and his streams set records. One notable moment was when he played Fortnite with celebrities like Drake and Travis Scott, attracting a whopping 635,000 live viewers. This success led to collaborations with brands like Red Bull Esports and even a partnership with electronic musician Marshmello.

In 2018, Ninja made headlines by signing a partnership with Red Bull Esports. However, a significant turning point came in 2019 when he announced his move from Twitch to the Microsoft-owned platform Mixer. This decision was monumental as Ninja was Twitch’s most-followed active channel at the time. But the association with Mixer was short-lived. After Microsoft decided to close Mixer, Ninja returned to Twitch, but not before reportedly earning a staggering $40 million from Microsoft.

Beyond Gaming: Ninja’s Other Ventures

Apart from gaming, Ninja has ventured into various other fields. He released an album, Ninjawerks: Vol. 1, featuring tracks by renowned electronic musicians. He also authored Get Good: My Ultimate Guide to Gaming. Moreover, he appeared on shows like Family Feud and The Masked Singer. In 2024, Ninja took on the role of Chief Innovation Officer at GameSquare, aiming to revolutionize the esports gaming world.

Personal Life & Charity

On the personal front, Ninja met fellow gamer Jessica Goch in 2010, and the two tied the knot in 2017. Jessica, also known as Jess Blevins, was a popular streamer and Ninja’s manager for a significant period. Apart from his professional achievements, Ninja is passionate about charity. He has raised substantial amounts for organizations like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Feeding America.

Ninja’s contributions to the gaming world haven’t gone unnoticed. He has bagged several awards, including the Gaming and Live Streamer awards at the Streamy Awards and the Esports Personality of the Year at the Esports Awards. In 2018, Time magazine even included him in their list of the World’s 100 Most Influential People.

In Conclusion

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins’ journey from a young gamer to a multi-millionaire internet personality is nothing short of inspirational. His dedication, strategic decisions, and passion for gaming have made him one of the most influential figures in the esports industry. With a net worth of $40 million in 2024, Ninja’s story is a testament to the immense possibilities of gaming.

June 30, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Danny Brown recently appeared on Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer’s 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, and during the conversation, which in total lasted for an hour and 15 minutes, the Detroit rapper made a shocking allegation. He accused Ninja, who is one-half of the South African hip-hop duo Die Antwoord, of sexually assaulting him after one of Brown’s past shows in Paris. Brown told Segura that Ninja messaged him about meeting up after the show, and instead, Brown offered to put his name on the guest list, but Ninja declined. “[He’s like,] ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll find you,’” Brown said. “That was weird, that was like one red flag.”

Brown says he eventually did meet up with Ninja and was soon “freaked out” by his behavior. “I was a single, experimenting man at the time, but he was too aggressive!” Brown said. “He sat on my lap and started trying to kiss me and sh*t and doing weird sh*t. I’m like, ‘Man, you tripping!’”

He continued, “Ninja tried to f*ck me. I was scared … … He always throw Yolandi on you. I think that’s how he’s been f*cking n****s. F*ck them, though! F*ck them. I could’ve canceled cuz. MeToo. I was sexually assaulted by Ninja. He know I ain’t lying!”

Brown added that Ninja refused to stop attempting to make a move on him. Additionally, Ninja told him that he would find out where his hotel was. “That’s what started making me pound drinks because I’m like, ‘I might have to stab this n**** tonight,’” Brown said. He added, “Because if this n**** knock on my hotel room door, bro, I’m the stabbing the sh*t — it’s gonna be a big deal. It’s gonna be a thing. That would’ve been a fight, but I’m in Paris. Who want to be in a Parisian jail? N****, do you know what jail is like for me in Paris? It’s gonna be crazy. So I’m shellshocked, like, ‘This n****’s really doing this?’”
