Nicolas “Nico” Kenn De Balinthazy[6] (born 8 September 1998)[7] better known online as Sneako, is an American online streamer.

Sneako is considered by some to be part of the "manosphere", an ideology promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism.[8][1][2] His commentaries have been deemed controversial and considered to be encouraging misogynistic views amongst young males.[9] Sneako had amassed over 1.28 million subscribers on his main channel on YouTube,[4] before being banned in October, 2022.[3]

Sneako has since joined Rumble[3] and as of October 2023, he was the seventh most-watched channel with 1.37 million hours watched,[10] maintaining popularity among young male viewers.[3]

Early years

Sneako was born in New York City and grew up in an affluent and predominately white neighborhood,[11] graduating from the Foote School in New Haven, Connecticut in 2014.[12] His father is from Haiti and is mixed-race,[11][13] while his mother’s family is from the Philippines.[14] Sneako has visited Haiti just about every year since he was two years old, as most of his family still lives there.[15][13]

Career

Since his debut online, Sneako has posted various content from gaming uploads, IRL streams, and reaction videos.[3] In one particular video, Sneako would ask Black people if it were okay for people who weren’t black to say the N-Word and would offer White people one dollar to say it.[16]

Sneako is a supporter of Andrew Tate and has been seen in videos with him as a regular.[17][16] Sneako has expressed admiration for Tate, crediting him and his brother Tristan for their assistance in his betterment.[18]

Sneako’s content has also been described as supporting far-right political views.[3] In 2022, Sneako joined Kanye West’s 2024 presidential campaign and has referred to him as his childhood hero.[6] He has also voiced support far-right commentator Nick Fuentes. Speaking at an American First rally in July 2023, Sneako said, “Nick Fuentes is going to the next president of the United States."[19]

In 2023, Sneako defended homophobic and transphobic shouting by fans, including that "all gays should die", stating "this is how I was at 12. But if it sounds egregious to you, blame the [rainbow emoji] (sic) flags in their classrooms. Blame the media for emasculating men. It's your fault for forcing an obvious agenda."[3]

In March 2024, PinkNews reported that Sneako had claimed that MrBeast (who he formerly collaborated with) was "pushing kids to transgenderism", along with the "baseless claim" that male-bodied individuals were removing their genitalia as a result of MrBeast continuing to support a trans collaborator.[20]
