Popular YouTuber and Twitch streamer Young Dabo and his girlfriend, Instagram influencer Aya Tanjali, have again captured public attention following a dramatic argument at “Streamer University.” The incident, which reportedly culminated in their breakup, has ignited widespread discussion across social media platforms.
The couple’s latest conflict unfolded on May 26, 2025, during an event known as “Streamer University.” Sources claim that Aya Tanjali admitted to being ashamed of Young Dabo in public and even stated she found him unattractive. The situation reportedly worsened when Aya was seen twerking with other male students, allegedly prompting Young Dabo to end the relationship.
One notable X post by user korzawyd, which amassed over 174,000 views, stated,
“HEART BROKEN ON THE LAST NIGHT OF STREAMER UNIVERSITY Young Dabo just broke up with his girl after he CAUGHT her twearkinn on other male students #Justicefordabo,”
Highlighting the emotional weight of the moment for fans.
The argument, which went viral, exposed deep tensions over public perception and respect. Frustrated, Young Dabo accused her of being ashamed to be seen with him, erupting with,
“I don’t want to be in a room with somebody that don’t want to be with me, so get the [expletive] out!”
He repeated the demand, later calling her actions “disrespectful as [expletive]” as he bid her “goodbye, adios.” Broadcast live to thousands, the exchange highlighted the challenges of maintaining personal relationships.
Adding to his woes, Young Dabo faced a jarring setback during another live stream while getting a haircut. A caller, claiming to represent Streamer University—a platform founded by Kai Cenat to nurture new talent—delivered a scathing message:
“Hello, Dabo? I’m calling in regards of Streamer University… We cannot accept that on campus. You’re ugly as sh* with that haircut, so we’re going to have to go ahead and give you an expelled letter. Have a good night.”*
The timing, mid-haircut and on camera, intensified the humiliation. Visibly shaken, Young Dabo cried out to the barber,
“What did you do to me?!”
The incident has sparked outrage over Streamer University’s unprofessional conduct and raised questions about its support for young creators.
Young Dabo, born Ibrahim Dabo on August 19, 2007, is a 17-year-old Guinean-American content creator who is celebrated for his emotional reaction videos, particularly hip-hop music. With over 616,000 YouTube subscribers, 252,000 Twitch followers, and 248,000 Instagram followers as of January 2025, he has built a substantial online presence since rising to prominence in December 2021.
His big Hannahs became his signature, drawing inspiration from streamers like Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed. A defining moment came in December 2021 with his heartfelt reaction to Autumn’s song “One Way.” With just 100 subscribers at the time, his raw emotion resonated widely, catching the artist’s attention. Autumn reposted the video on Instagram, propelling Young Dabo’s channel to new heights. Using TikTok to amplify his reach, he has since cultivated a loyal following, despite repeated bans due to his age.
Aya Tanjali, meanwhile, is a prominent Instagram influencer with 7 million TikTok followers who is known for her engaging short-form content. Their relationship has been a focal point for fans and is often characterized as “toxic” due to its volatile, on-again, off-again nature.
The couple’s relationship has long been a public spectacle, marked by highs and lows frequently playing out online. In December 2024, Aya refused a kiss from Young Dabo during a livestream, an awkward moment that went viral and divided netizens. Later that month, Young Dabo posted a YouTube video
“My Girlfriend Cheated On Me On Christmas,”
alleging infidelity. In February 2025, he staged a playful proposal with a candy “Ring Pop” in a video titled “Proposing To My Toxic Girlfriend..,” only to face rejection.
Despite these setbacks, the pair reconciled multiple times, appearing together in content as recently as May 2025, including a video titled:
“I Bought A NEW HOUSE With My Girlfriend!”
Young Dabo’s recent trials—a public breakup and a humiliating expulsion—paint a vivid picture of life in the spotlight. While painful, these moments reflect the resilience that has fueled his rise. His story is a cautionary tale about the pressures on young creators and the need for accountability from the platforms shaping their paths.
