Personal Life

In late 2019, dakotaz tweeted that "Fortnite" was in a "hot garbage" state, and fellow streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins replied that dakotaz could play another game. Ninja then told streamer DrLupo (who he was broadcasting with at the time) of dakotaz, "So he replies 'I could but other games put me to sleep.' So now I want to reply, 'so stop sh*tting on the only game that you enjoy!' He's one of the only influencers that doesn't think he's an influencer!" Ninja added, "DK if this is the only game that doesn't put you to sleep, and you think it's hot sh*t, maybe don't talk sh*t about it to your entire audience!" Dakotaz responded, "Just stay in your lane, Ninja. You know what I'm saying? Like if I got an opinion, I got an opinion. Shut your mouth, dude." Dakotaz blocked Ninja on Twitter a few days later.
