Lirik Turns Down Offer to Be in Game Awards Commercial
Streamer Lirik, known for his variety content on Twitch, caught the attention of viewers during The Game Awards 2022. Lirik, who has nearly 3 million followers on Twitch, reacted to the award show with his audience.
Perplexing Moment at The Game Awards
During the award announcements, Lirik was surprised to see an anti-vaping ad from Truth featuring content creator Ian “Enable” Wyatt discussing his addiction to nicotine. To Lirik’s surprise, he had been asked to be a part of the commercial.
Fans were shocked to learn that Lirik had vaped, and even Lirik himself was confused as to why he was approached for the campaign since he had quit smoking a while ago.
Conflicting Messages
Lirik has been open about his marijuana use in the past, admitting to being under the influence during livestreams and gameplay sessions. This raised questions about his involvement in an anti-vaping campaign, considering his active marijuana consumption.
Speculating on his role in the commercial, Lirik wondered if he was expected to conclude with a statement against drugs. However, given his marijuana use, it didn’t align with the campaign’s anti-drug message.
Lirik’s Decision to Decline the Offer
In the end, Lirik declined the offer to appear in the Game Awards commercial, citing nervousness as the reason. Since he doesn’t use a webcam, it’s understandable that he may have been apprehensive about a televised appearance.
Some fans expressed disappointment that Lirik didn’t accept the offer, as they believed his presence would have added enjoyment to the ad.
