On March 17, 2021, ANF quote-tweeted on Twitter the following: "Nintendo fact: This was the least deserved thing I've ever seen, there is no reason this guy should be as popular as he is." then followed by a quote tweet of one of Dream's tweets. Since the tweet was targeted towards Dream, one account, known as Asensii20 on Twitter, attacked ANF by having Dream's stans raid the tweet by quoting and so. Asensii then replied with: "Then you deserved all these d3ath thr3ats imo" at one of ANF's replies. Asensii then deleted the reply afterward. ANF made a joke about "having sex with his mom", then had his account locked, though Asensii and the stans sent him death threats without a warn or lock.
