According to a report by Ginx.tv, the rivalry between Boogie2988 and Frank Hassle has been doing the rounds on social media for quite some time now. Boogie2988 has also claimed that Frank Hassle has been harassing him for months now. He had also referred to this harassment by Frank Hassle as something which is well organised and planned with the help of his fanbase. The report mentioned that Frank Hassle was the man behind a now closed Reddit channel which was a place for organised and planned harassment of YouTubers and other content creators. Boogie2988 was often a target of that Reddit thread.

The report mentioned that the tension between Boogie2988 and Frank Hassle escalated during an interview between the two by a notorious YouTuber Daniel “Keemstar” Keem. During the interview, Frank Hassle allegedly threatened to show up at Boogie2988’s house in Arkansas. Replying to this Boogie2988 said that he would kill Frank Hassle if he does that. The report also added that Boogie2988 repeated this statement at least five times.
