“I was on a clout high” - N3on issues apology for past racist statement following "Breakfast Club" interview scandal

Streamer and online creator N3on apologized publicly after his past resurfaced, bringing harsh criticism for racist remarks and controversial old videos. People reacted strongly after he appeared on The Breakfast Club where interviewers pressed him about his offensive actions and comments targeting other creators.

Through a video posted on social media, including The Shade Room, N3on shared his regret about the words and actions now under fire. The 20-year-old admitted his teenage years were shaped by chasing internet fame where he cared more about going viral than anything else. He explained getting caught up in a "clout high" and choosing shocking content to grab attention and grow his audience.

"All I wanted in life was to be big, all I wanted in life was views. All I wanted in life was clout," N3on said in a video shared with The Shade Room. "I was on a clout high and I just kept seeing my numbers go up off of saying the most insane, stupid, vulgar s**t possible, which I completely and entirely regret."

N3on reflects on his online persona as backlash and debate continue

N3on thought about how different his online personality had become from how he acts in real life. He mentioned a family event as the moment he noticed the gap between his real-life self and his streaming persona. This realization led him to think about himself. The streamer wondered why he acted in such wild or offensive ways online just to get attention, describing it as “corny and pathetic.”

In his recent Breakfast Club interview, people revisited some of his past actions, a rude comment he directed at streamer Kai Cenat's mom. Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious pressed him about his pattern of making harsh remarks. N3on spoke on the issue and recognized how toxic his live chat community can be. He said creators can ask for better behavior, but it's hard to manage what happens in a live chat. People's reactions to his answers were divided.

After the interview, N3on first called the segment an "interrogation" but later said he wanted to make amends by bringing up Charlamagne. So far, Charlamagne has stayed silent and hasn’t addressed the apology. On the other hand, Jess Hilarious reacted through her own social media, sharing clips of N3on’s old racist content and implying her opinion hadn't shifted.

This apology represents a key moment in N3on's career as an online figure. He admitted to previous wrongs and showed regret in his remarks, but it's unclear what impact his words will have over time. The situation is still a hot topic on social media, as debates about accountability and influence in digital culture keep sparking conversations.
