Hasan responds to backlash over his $1000 Coachella outfit

Twitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker came under fire from fans after he wore a $1000 outfit at Coachella, which critics argued went against his “socialist” views. Hasan has hit back saying it’s “wild” how he has been made a ‘villain’ over the dispute. 

As one of the biggest live music events in the world, Coachella attracts some of the streaming community’s most famous faces.

Just some names to have already been spotted at the festival have included CouRage, Valkyrae, and Pokimane. Logan Paul even jumped on stage to join Olivia O’Brien during her performance.

However, it was HasanAbi’s appearance, in particular his brightly colored attire, which really got people talking – but not all for the best of reasons. The streamer soon found himself having to defend his expensive outfit choice.

During Coachella 2022, a number of Twitter users spotted Hasan attending the festival wearing a Gucci Hawaiian T-shirt. A viral Tweet from Twitter user ‘airidescence’ compared her “$12 fit” to Hasan’s much pricier choices.

As the social posts gathered steam, Hasan’s editor ostonox poked fun at it, joking about also taking a private jet and the $1100 hawaiian shirt.

Ostonox found the item up for sale on the designer’s website for $1150.

“It’s wild how the internet chooses villains. I do my best to be a good person every day and of course I have flaws. I don’t know what people want from me.”
