"Just don't donate"- Ninja receives hate after donating $25k to a fellow gamer in need
Richard Tyler Blevins, popularly known as Ninja, has been facing criticism for his recent donation amount to ChillinDude's GoFundMe. Ninja donated $25k to Super Smash Bros pro Kashan Khan, aka ChillinDude, who recently suffered a tragic stroke and was found unresponsive in his apartment.
