Sneako: Five Things to Know

1. Sneako, born Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, is a livestreamer and one of the most prominent vectors for antisemitism, white supremacy, and misogyny in the manosphere, with an audience of millions.

He has built a multi-platform following of predominantly men and boys, pushing extremist and antisemitic content that is amplified far beyond his own accounts through a network of fan-run channels across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. He has an estimated following of over three million across platforms.

Sneako’s content consists primarily of hours-long livestreams sounding off on politics, gender dynamics and relationships, and culture, often while engaging followers in the chat, debating other influencers and deploying a “just joking” deflection if criticized. He also posts man-on-the-street confrontations and shorter provocations on X. 

His tone is deliberately inflammatory, and the format is designed to produce clippable moments that circulate widely across social media.

In recent years, Sneako has cycled through antisemitic conspiracy theories, white supremacist talking points, and Holocaust denial, while weaponizing elements of Islamic tradition to spread antisemitism and misogyny.

He’ll often adopt and discard positions based on what draws the most attention and engagement, shifting stances on President Trump, reframing his views to align with Islam after his 2023 conversion and generally pivoting to find a bigger platform. The one constant has been misogyny, which predates every other ideological shift and persists through all of them. To that, he has added antisemitism, which became a core part of his personal brand following the October 7 Hamas-led attacks on Israel.

Sneako was a central figure in Louis Theroux’s 2026 Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere, where he and other manosphere figures expressed antisemitic views and indicated that doing so serves as an effective, revenue-generating marketing strategy and an identity signal. Sneako acknowledged the former openly in the documentary, saying everyone in the manosphere is "trying to make a buck" and "selling ideologies." The latter operates through the manosphere’s core identity framework: the idea of being "red-pilled," drawn from the 1999 movie The Matrix, which holds that adherents have seen through mainstream reality and escaped the influence of shadowy elites. In these spaces, expressing antisemitism signals membership in that worldview, and it marks someone as “awake” to who is really pulling the strings, supposedly.

In January 2026, Sneako drew international headlines after he and a group of far-right and manosphere influencers, including Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, and Myron Gaines, were filmed singing along to Ye's antisemitic track "Heil Hitler" at a Miami Beach nightclub.

In May 2026, Sneako was denied entry to Australia after arriving for a scheduled visit and then banned for life. Australia's Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said the lifetime ban was to "protect our community from people coming to this country to spread hatred."

2. Sneako has repeatedly espoused antisemitic conspiracy theories and denied key facts of the Holocaust.

Sneako has shown an escalating pattern of antisemitic rhetoric spanning years, promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories across multiple platforms and in conversation with other prominent influencers.

Since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks on Israel, Sneako has capitalized on geopolitical events to make inflammatory antisemitic remarks.

• In a March 2024 livestream, he told users who said they were Palestinian, "Free Palestine. Down with the Yahud [Jews]! Allahu Akbar!" 
• In April 2024, according to the Jerusalem Post, he reportedly wrote on X, "Every conspiracy theory from the last century is just Israel." He appears to have deleted the original post.
• Later in March 2024, while questioning a German woman on his livestream about her sex life, he suggested, unprompted, a Holocaust-themed sexual roleplay, saying "I'll be the Nazi and I'll shove you in the oven like a dirty Jew."
• On March 30, 2026, Sneako posted on X, saying "Its [sic] not just Netanyahu, [Israel is] a society of killers."

Sneako’s comments following the February 2026 U.S.-Israeli military operation in Iran proved especially popular, engaging his anti-Israel audience and his existing antisemitic following simultaneously. 

As the U.S. launched strikes on Iran as part of the 12-day war in June 2025, Sneako posted on X, "I'm not fucking dying for Israel," a cross-ideological refrain on the right and the left that converged on the message that the strikes were conducted to serve Jewish or Israeli interests at the cost of American lives. He also drew on a recurring element in the conspiracy theory that Israel was behind the 9/11 attacks, posting a video of Israelis taking cover from Iranian missiles in a bomb shelter while singing, with the caption, "Israelis dancing in a bomb shelter the same way they did when the second tower fell." The post has generated over 700,000 views as of May 2026.

Sneako has a long history of perpetuating antisemitic myths. In a July 2023 conversation with white supremacist Nick Fuentes, Sneako reportedly declared that Jewish people "control all the money in the world." That same month, on the "Fresh & Fit" podcast by antisemitic influencer Amrou Fudl (known as Myron Gaines), Sneako blamed a Jewish physician targeted by the Nazis for "creating” transgenderism." Fudl declared the show was "the biggest platform that's talking about the JQ [the Jewish Question]."

In a 2022 interview on the mainstream podcast "No Jumper," which has almost five million subscribers, Sneako stated that "Jews have the ultimate power" and that "at the end of the rabbit hole, it's always a Jew who controls it."

Sneako has also repeatedly denied or minimized the Holocaust. In September 2024, speaking with popular streamer Adin Ross, he questioned the mechanics of the gas chambers used to murder Jews: "Why would they have wooden doors in the gas chambers? How do you fit six million people in a gas chamber?" In August 2024, he posted on X, "We're sick of hearing about the holocaust [sic]."

In an April 2023 conversation, also with Ross, Sneako refused to call Hitler evil, stating, "I think he was a bad person, I don't know if he was evil, I haven't met the guy.”

3. Sneako's conversion to Islam gave his misogyny and antisemitism a religious framework and drew him into a growing ecosystem of Muslim manosphere influencers. 

By May 2023, Sneako had converted to Islam, formalizing existing relationships with Muslim manosphere influencers and giving his preexisting misogyny and antisemitism the authority of a misused religious vocabulary.

In a video circulated widely in April 2026, Sneako was filmed on a New York City street chanting "Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud! Jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud!" alongside a group of men. The chant, which translates to "Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews! The army of Muhammad will return!," invokes the 7th century battle in which the Prophet Muhammad's forces conquered a Jewish settlement, and is used today as an explicit antisemitic threat promising future violence against Jews. 

The chant illustrates how Sneako's post-conversion identity fuses his antisemitism with Islamist rhetoric.

He has described his conversion as motivated in part by how Islam is "strict on their beliefs on masculinity and femininity, on the differences between men and women and our roles and what we should be doing."

Since converting, Sneako has embedded himself in a network of Muslim influencers who blend red-pill gender politics with Islamic authority. He has worked closely with Faiyad Nafis (known as FayadFit), who runs a coaching service promising to help Muslim men become "a High Value Muslim" and teaches that the right wife should almost always accept when a man says "no" and should be "moldable," evolving based on her husband's demands.

He has also collaborated extensively with Uthman Ibn Farooq, a California-based Muslim evangelist who was denied entry to the United Kingdom in 2025 for comments promoting the sexual slavery of women. These are not casual associations; they reflect the cynical, maximally transgressive version of Islam he promotes.

Muslim women's organizations have rejected Sneako's version of Islam as a vehicle for misogyny rather than genuine religious practice. Amaliah, a Muslim women's media platform, has characterized his content as secular red-pill ideology dressed in Islamic language, coining the term "Mincel" (Muslim incel) to describe the phenomenon. Muslim Women's Network UK has similarly identified him among influencers who use religious framing to legitimize the subordination of women. 

4. Sneako's affiliation with white supremacist Nick Fuentes has connected him to the organized far right and shaped his extremist trajectory.

Sneako began uploading content to YouTube in 2013 as a teenager, initially posting gaming videos, and later introducing man-on-the-street interviews and videos about dating and self-improvement, which generated modest traction. He briefly worked for prominent YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson (known as MrBeast) before pivoting to right-wing political commentary in the early 2020s.

The inflection point came in 2022, when he began collaborating with Fuentes. Through Fuentes, Sneako gained access to the Groyper movement (Fuentes's online following of young white supremacists), joined Ye's informal 2024 presidential campaign, and entered white supremacist spaces that would have otherwise been inaccessible.

The association produced matching rhetoric: In an August 2023 rant on Rumble, Sneako stated, "Slaves didn't build America, White people did," and argued that America needs "a white majority." Sneako is of Haitian and Filipino descent, which makes his promotion of racism and white supremacy notable within the manosphere's attention economy, where transgression is currency and a man of color endorsing white supremacy generates engagement. 

In October 2022, Sneako appeared alongside Fuentes on the "No Jumper" podcast, where both promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish control to an audience of millions. On X, Sneako predicted that Fuentes would one day become president of the United States.

In June 2024, Sneako attended Fuentes’ AFPAC IV event in Detroit alongside former KKK leader David Duke, antisemitic MMA fighter Jake Shields and other such figures. Following the event, he started posting the “America First. Israel Last” slogan, coined by Fuentes at a rally that day.

Sneako appears in this screenshot with Nick Fuentes, Myron Gaines (Amrou Fudl), Tristan Tate and other manosphere figures in January 2026 before an antisemitic incident at a Miami nightclub.

Throughout 2025, Sneako and Fuentes continued to co-stream regularly, and in December 2025 both attempted to attend the New York Young Republicans Club gala alongside white nationalist Jared Taylor, but Fuentes was denied entry.

In January 2026, Sneako was part of a network of misogynist, antisemitic men who drew public attention at the Vendôme nightclub in Miami Beach, when he arrived at the club alongside Fuentes, Fudl, Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan Tate, as well as an infamous looksmaxxer. The group requested and sang along to Ye's "Heil Hitler," a track banned on most U.S. streaming platforms that includes an excerpt of a 1935 Hitler speech. Some in the group were filmed making Nazi salutes. 

Sneako livestreamed portions of the evening. The venue fired three employees and issued a public apology.

5. Despite being banned from several major platforms for his hateful content, Sneako has built a distribution model that turns deplatforming into advertising.

Sneako has been banned from YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Kick, in some cases multiple times. YouTube terminated both of his channels in October 2022. Twitch reportedly banned him for "extreme hateful conduct." In October 2024, YouTube again banned him within hours after temporarily restoring his accounts. 

But within the manosphere, platform bans are credentials, not punishments.

Deplatforming has displaced his accounts without displacing his content. Even when Sneako is removed from a platform, his content circulates through fan-run clip channels on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. These clips reach audiences that may never visit his primary platforms, but each clip funnels attention back to his livestreams, where he can make revenue directly.

In October 2025, when YouTube reinstated Sneako's channels through a pilot program that restored channels previously banned for misinformation and fully remonetized them a month later, it confirmed the cycle. The platform welcomed him back, and he returned with his audience intact and his brand strengthened by the exile.

The real-world impact of Sneako's content became visible in September 2023, when a group of preteen boys recognized him at a Miami Marlins game and, while posing for selfies, began shouting "F--- the women!" and "All gays should die." Sneako looked at the camera and asked, "What have I done?" He posted the clip, then doubled down on X: "BOYS WILL BE BOYS."

In his documentary, Theroux described the audience Sneako commands: " These are 8-, 9-, 10-year-olds. The upper limit is more like 20. We call it the manosphere, but it could more accurately be described as the boyosphere."
