Controversy
Following a video iDubbbz released on 16th April 2025 which was aimed at Jewish YouTuber Ethan Klein titled "Content Cop - H3".[21] iDubbbz publicly expressed his concerns with Kleinn's behavior.
On April 28, 2025, Harley Morenstein announced that he would no longer be fighting on the event. Morenstein (who is Jewish/Canadian) stated on a podcast that he withdrew support for the event after IDubbbz collaborated with Hasan Piker, a left-wing commentator and outspoken critic of the Gaza genocide. During a charity stream aimed at raising additional funds for Stand Up to Cancer, Piker made several controversial remarks about supporters of Israel, which contributed to Morenstein's discomfort with the event.[22] Morenstein also expressed concern over a photo shared on social media in which IDubbbz was seen posing with a sword featuring a swastika.[23] He was formerly headlining the fight with L.A. Beast.[24]
On April 30, Ab Ayad announced on the H3 Podcast that his wife, Lena Ayad, who was going to be fighting FunkyFrogBait, would be pulling out of the event. [25]
On May 3, 2025, following fighter drop-outs, and embroiled in online controversy, iDubbbz and Jomha stepped away from Creator Clash, relinquishing ownership of the event to business partners "Real Good Touring".[26]
