Still Banned, Now Litigating: Asmongold Says Mizkif Lawsuit Remains Active, Legal Fees Top $180,000
While serving his Twitch suspension, Asmongold disclosed on June 16 that a lawsuit brought by fellow streamer and former OTK co-founder Mizkif is ongoing — and that his own legal costs have surpassed six figures.
On June 16, 2026, Twitch streamer Asmongold — currently suspended from the platform following a ban issued June 4 — publicly stated that a lawsuit filed against him by streamer Mizkif remains active and that his accumulated legal fees have exceeded USD 180,000, according to reporting by NDTV Sports. Asmongold did not, per available sourcing, specify the claims at issue or the venue in which the case is pending.
The Disclosure
Asmongold's statement arrived twelve days into his Twitch suspension and one day after he reacted publicly to reports of the deaths of Oliver Tree and YouTuber Gaspi in a Rio helicopter crash. The legal disclosure represents the first time Asmongold has, according to available reporting, quantified his litigation costs in connection with the Mizkif matter. The USD 180,000 figure was attributed directly to Asmongold; MAFKR has not independently reviewed court filings.
Asmongold and Mizkif were co-founders of the streamer collective OTK (One True King). A feature published by Aftermath in April 2025 examined what the outlet described as OTK losing its way, though that piece did not reference active litigation between the two parties. For the record, the current status of Asmongold's OTK involvement has not been confirmed by either party in recent public statements reviewed for this article.
What's Documented
The following is a partial chronology of the period surrounding this disclosure:
April 20, 2026 — A report via inkl noted that Asmongold had admitted owing USD 397,000 to the IRS, citing his net worth coverage. Asmongold did not dispute the figure publicly, according to that reporting.
June 4, 2026 — Asmongold banned on Twitch following a period of escalating controversies dating to at least May 20.
June 15, 2026 — Asmongold, still suspended, reacted via off-platform content to reported deaths of Oliver Tree and Gaspi.
June 16, 2026 — Asmongold states Mizkif lawsuit is active; claims legal fees exceed USD 180,000.
Mizkif has not issued a public statement in response to Asmongold's June 16 disclosure, per available sourcing at time of publication.
What Happens Next
Open questions as of June 16, 2026: whether Mizkif will respond publicly to Asmongold's characterization of the lawsuit's status; whether court records will surface identifying the specific claims and jurisdiction; when or whether Twitch will lift Asmongold's current suspension; and whether the USD 180,000 figure Asmongold cited reflects total fees to date or a projected sum.
