There is some controversy between streamers and rappers.
Rapper 21 Savage joined streamer Adin Ross on Thursday to play NBA 2K together live on Twitch. Ross took 21 Savage for $400,000 during the 2K session.
Ross wanted to give 21 Savage an opportunity to earn some of that money back in a game of high-card. What Ross didn't know, however, was the rapper and his friends brought a deck of cards that were scratched on the back. 21 Savage knew how to find the high card based on the scratches. He ended up winning $120,000.

Over 150,000 people were watching the stream live. According to Forbes, Ross has a net worth of $47 million, so this likely won't hurt his pockets too much. 21 Savage has an estimated net worth between $20 and $40 million.
Streamers and rappers are the two biggest movers and shakers in popular culture among teen boys and young men.
It's unclear whether the incident will harm the relationship between Ross and 21 Savage going forward. But this should be a fair warning to all that if you are going to play cards for high stakes, you better make sure the cards are legit.
