What began as a passing comment about Hasan\u2019s dog, Kaya, quickly spiraled into one of the most-discussed streamer debates of October 2025.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What did Ludwig originally say that sparked the \u201cHasanAbi collar\u201d debate?<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>On October 21, 2025, a short 49-second clip from Ludwig\u2019s stream went viral on X (formerly Twitter). In it, the <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Mogul Mail<\/span> host claimed that HasanAbi might have lied about his pet\u2019s collar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Ludwig said he believed the device on Kaya was a <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">shock collar<\/span>, adding, <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cI think he lied about having a shock collar. I think he 100% had a shock collar, based off what&#8217;s on my For You page. But that 100% is a shock collar, as a fact. I feel like that s**t is 100% a shock collar.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>He also criticized viewers who were hesitant to question Hasan, saying, <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cyou are still pretending to live in a universe where it is, like, brave to speak out against Hasan\u2026 It truly, I think, is pathetic.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The clip spread fast, leading to heated discussions across Reddit and X. Many viewers agreed with Ludwig\u2019s blunt take, while others called it a reckless accusation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Ludwig walks back his comments after reviewing new details<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Just three days later, on October 24, Ludwig revisited the topic during another livestream. This time, he seemed to walk back his earlier statement, saying he was now \u201cpretty sure\u201d that HasanAbi\u2019s dog collar was not a shock collar but a vibrating one.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>He claimed to have reviewed <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">close-up photos<\/span> of the collar, swearing on his \u201cmother\u2019s life\u201d that he saw no prongs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cI&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s a vibrating collar. So, maybe, I should&#8217;ve said 99% sure instead of 100%,\u201d <\/span>he said. <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cI&#8217;m not making any other comments about whether he has a shock collar or has shocked her.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Ludwig also mentioned that there was tape on the collar, which he believed was covering Hasan\u2019s phone number.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>But despite his clarification, many viewers felt it was too late. Comments poured in, accusing him of backpedaling under pressure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Fans slam Ludwig for backtracking on his own statements<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The reaction online was swift and harsh. One X user wrote, <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cMy Lord Hasan has these losers on a leash. None of these people care or give af about being honest or geniune.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>Another joked, <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cLmao did Hasan put a shock collar on this dude?\u201d<\/span>.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>Many felt that Ludwig\u2019s correction didn\u2019t erase the impact of his earlier remarks, and that his credibility took a hit in the process.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"49\"\/>As of now, HasanAbi hasn\u2019t publicly responded, and the debate continues to divide the streamer community.
