India Love embarrassed herself at the 2023 Streamer Awards in Los Angeles on December 7 by storming the stage mid-ceremony and snatching the mic from FaZe Adapt during his Breakout Streamer of the Year acceptance speech.
The 29-year-old influencer barely acknowledged Adapt’s win before launching into her own impromptu speech.
Applause quickly turned to boos as the audience reacted in disbelief as she strutted offstage and was eventually thrown out of the Wiltern Theatre.
The moment instantly drew comparisons to Kanye West’s infamous interruption of Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs, where he declared Beyoncé “had one of the best videos of all time.”
Much like that viral moment, Love’s interruption overshadowed the actual award recipient and sparked an online firestorm.
The evening also included drama from host Fanfan, who controversially compared Kai Cenat to Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The outburst adds to a long list of public controversies India Love has faced throughout her career, from relationship drama to online feuds.
Social media lit up with criticism.
