Caleb Hammer and Frogan controversy explained

TikToker and YouTuber Caleb Hammer has gotten embroiled in a back-and-forth with Twitch streamer Morgan "Frogan." It all started on December 16, 2025, when X user @Awk20000 shared a one-minute-21-second video from Caleb Hammer's livestream.

In it, Hammer offered to match Zack "Asmongold's" $10,000 charity donation in exchange for Frogan appearing on the former's Financial Audit show. The situation arose after the political commentator recently went viral for claiming that she had been struggling financially over the past few months.

Caleb Hammer eventually quote-tweeted X user @Awk20000's post and invited Frogan to appear as a guest on his Financial Audit show:

"Frogan, $20,000 currently to come on Financial Audit. Legit, my team and I will respect what you wish to talk about and not talk about. I want to set you up for Financial Success. Let's do this thing."

Frogan refuses to appear on Caleb Hammer's show for a financial audit, claiming he would "degrade her for content"

Frogan responded to Caleb Hammer's invitation to appear on his finance show on December 17, 2025. Expressing her belief that the TikToker would "degrade her for content," the 28-year-old declined his invitation by writing:

"I don’t need a YouTube financial advisor to try to degrade me for content since that’s what’s popular. Let me clear a few things up: I wasn’t crying to my audience for money. I had a normal reaction to what a friend said when they called in. People sit in my chat and screen record the entire thing (clipping is turned off on my channel) solely to hate watch and post clips out of context, and I’m allowed to have feelings about my own life with the community I’ve built. I have loved streaming for years and wouldn’t be doing it still if there werent so many positives, but after being harassed, targeted, and dogpiled across every space of the internet for over 2 years now, I think my attitude towards streaming should be expected."

Furthermore, Frogan claimed that she does not earn money from advertisements on her Twitch streams, claiming that the Amazon-owned platform "took it away from her" when she was "wrongfully banned":

"I make no ad revenue anymore and haven’t for over a year because Twitch took it away from me when I was wrongfully banned. it was a huge part of my income and now I solely rely on subscribers in terms of Twitch, which is more unpredictable. I am actively working on diversifying my content across different platforms and shifting my talents to behind-the-scenes production work for other content creators so I can have more revenue streams."

The moderator for Hasan "HasanAbi" also explained why she wouldn't appear on Caleb Hammer's Financial Audit:

"So no - I will not be coming onto your show. I have seen your content and it doesn’t align with what I’m experiencing. As a fellow content creator, I hope you understand how the complexities of this career path can affect someone’s financial situation and how it has no place to be discussed on your show. But please don’t stop yourself from donating to charity on my behalf. 💖"
