Earlier on April 14, Sodapoppin received a ban for a blackface video that went viral. The streamer later admitted that he deserved the ban. However, the ban caused some upheavals in his private life. Soon after his ban was lifted, his streams dwindled. He has streamed only once in the past 7 days.
Even with the Twitch ban, Sodapoppin had been quite active on his YouTube channel. Recently, he posted a 2-hour video on YouTube playing ‘The Stanley Parable'. So the general sentiment of his followers is that he will be back on Twitch after a well-deserved break.
With over 8.8 million followers on Twitch, Morris is one of the biggest streamers on the platform. He started streaming way back in 2012 and is currently the 84th top streamer (and 44th in English). He was one of the creators that caused a surge in Among Us in 2020.
