Hunter addressed the situation during a Twitch livestream, as reported by the New York Post. He criticized the online trolls and stood up for his long-term fiancée.

“You ain’t never had no girl, so why are y’all talking about me?” Hunter said. “Find someone else to talk about. … Go talk about your girl. Go find a girl. Go find a life. Stop worrying about what I got going on. I know what I got.”

Hunter continued, emphasizing the strength of his relationship with Lenee, which has spanned several years.

“My girl been with me for five years. Y’all are just now starting to talk about me … y’all go do something else with y’all life. Clickbait pages stop, y’all better stop I’m telling y’all. Something bad is gonna happen to y’all [if you] keep doing that. Y’all better stop that. I ain’t playing.”

Hunter further explained that the criticism had affected Lenee deeply, leading to an emotional night. He said the two were simply discussing their plans for the evening when the negativity escalated.

“I don’t want her to go to sleep sad. It’s hard on me because I can’t even help her,” he added.

Hunter has spoken highly of Lenee in the past, including during an appearance on The Pivot Podcast, where he credited her for being a steady and supportive presence in his life.

“She’s my closest to everything, she helped me with everything,” Hunter said. “It’s kind of hard sometimes, but she’s always there.”
