The drama of a streamer/YouTuber named Monsieur Tuna has been attracted the attention of the Vietnamese gaming community and netizens on social networks.
For longtime fans of YouTuber Monsieur Tuna, they found this guy is a “good content creator” and often brings unique and interesting sentences, poems into his gaming videos or live streams.
This YouTuber’s videos got millions of views in a short time. He won the YouTube Gold Play Button.
Monsieur Tuna created his YouTube channel in 2015 but he has only been doing YouTube for more than a year recently. His videos often get millions of views and got more than 1.5 million subscribers.
Recently, Monsieur Tuna was accused by a content creator named Huy Tran of “plagiarizing, stealing” ideas of Huy Tran. Monsieur Tuna used stolen ideas for his live streams and YouTube videos. The drama quickly attracted the attention of thousands of followers in the gaming community.
The denunciation and the evidence, messages of Huy Tran
According to Huy Tran, he gave messages showing that he had texted Monsieur Tuna, asked this million-sub YouTuber to stop taking his ideas and put them on YouTube. Monsieur Tuna agreed, but after a while, Huy Tran accused him of continuing to “borrow” his ideas.
Huy Tran also gave evidence that his words, paragraphs, and ideas were used by Monsieur Tuna on YouTube videos after only 2-3 hours of the first denunciation post on Facebook. Some viewers believe that Huy Tran chose the right time when Monsieur Tuna was “in a drama” with “Gen Z” to denounce.
Because at the same time, Monsieur Tuna is also causing controversy when posting a video criticizing the “Gen Z” generation on YouTube with the title “Gen Z gave me cancer“. The video has caused many conflicting opinions, some people think that Monsieur Tuna is right, others said that every generation has different individuals “this person and that person”, but Monsieur Tuna is blaming all Gen Z generation.
Video criticizing “Gen Z” reached the top trending YouTube
After that, many followers and other YouTubers (such as A CN) gave (unconfirmed) information that Monsieur Tuna is actually a “Gen Z” boy, very young, was born in 2001, and does not have any wife or children, and family circumstances as Monsieur Tuna claimed on his videos.
KOL Bui Quoc Anh from Welax also blamed Monsieur Tuna on his Facebook for “plagiarizing, stealing” ideas
Information about that true age and identity has caused fierce controversy about Monsieur Tuna. Because Monsieur Tuna said he had a wife, a child, and a high-paying job. So he made YouTube videos just for fun.
Even Monsieur Tuna has released many videos about his married life and family circumstances on his YouTube channel, he also often shares life perspectives, life experiences, marriage stories, etc. on his YouTube.
As a result, many people believe that Monsieur Tuna built a fake concept of an experienced “mature streamer“. That is almost similar to a famous streamer in Vietnam, Do Mixi (who was married, has a wife and children). But Do Mixi shows his real face, real identity on his live stream. But Monsieur Tuna hid his identity.
In addition, there were other comments mentioned about Monsieur Tuna’s Discord channel is collapsed a year ago. They said the reason is that Monsieur Tuna changed the Discord mods (because they knew his true identity). The resignation of the old mods is the reason why the content on Monsieur Tuna’s YouTube channel gets worse.
Some viewers found that Monsieur Tuna’s way of talking on live streams and YouTube videos are completely different. Because his videos were scripted from “borrowed” content, and content on his live streams is not “salty” like that.
After the drama broke out, Monsieur Tuna live-streamed on YouTube with the title “Haters, shut up”. However, in the live stream, he also admitted that he was born in 2004, not 2001 as YouTuber A CN denounced. But many people/fans think that he is mocking the “haters”, and information about his year of birth is not the truth. Monsieur Tuna also showed his stock account with billions of VND and said that he will spend 200 million VND (=8700 USD) to travel.

After that, Youtuber A CN published a video to prove that the stock account of Tuna was faked. ACN also revealed a photo and a video about true portraits of Monsieur Tuna – a “Gen Z” boy.
As for Huy Tran, his post “alleged stealing and plagiarism” on Facebook is also constantly being reported by Monsieur Tuna’s fans. Fans said that Huy Tran is wrong and he is a truly jealous person.
The drama is still has a lot of conflicting opinions on Vietnamese social networks.
