India Love shifted the spotlight at the 2025 Streamer Awards.

The influencer took the stage at the awards show moments after FaZe Adapt was named Breakout Streamer of the Year and told the crowd she thought the trophy belonged to someone else. She boldly stated, “Streamer of the year went to Adapt, and congratulations, we respect you for what you did. But Raki should have won Breakout Streamer of the Year, and DDG. I don’t care what y’all say. Shoutout Raki.” India’s outburst quickly garnered boos from the audience, and security reportedly escorted her out of the venue.

The unscripted moment made Love one of the night’s biggest headlines, overshadowing much of the awards show’s intended celebration. Social chatter around the incident debated on whether India Love’s stunt was brave, messy, or both.

Organizers had just announced FaZe Adapt as the winner on the livestream when Love made her move. The Streamer Awards, which blends gaming, creator culture, and celebrity cameos, has long been a volatile mix of fandom and performance. This year’s surprise from Love proved no different. Security intervened and the show moved on, but the clip of Love’s walk the walk and talk the talk will live on forever.

The night wasn’t without other awkward moments. Reportedly, the show’s host threw an ill-judged joke at famed streamer Kai Cenat regarding his appearance and fellow streamer Tylil stepped in to defend his friend and said, “If you’re going to be on the mic making jokes, at least let it be funny.”
