India Love has apologized for crashing the stage at this weekend’s Streamer Awards, telling fans “there is no excuse.”
As previously reported, Love made an unexpected onstage appearance at the Dec. 6 ceremony after FaZe Adapt was announced as the Breakout Streamer winner. While she did offer a quick “congratulations” to Adapt during the boos-inducing moment, she also argued that 2xRaKai or DDG should have won instead.
“I wanted to make a true apology, a true apology meaning giving no excuses or explanation for my behavior last night at the awards,” Love said during a subsequent stream, as seen above. “I did not conduct myself in a way that represents me well or my team or my community or the people that look to me and look up to me in one way, shape, or form. My behavior was completely unnecessary and distasteful, for sure. Another moment, another mistake made off being under the influence but obviously that’s not an excuse.”
Turning her attention to Adapt, Love offered an apology, reiterating that there was “no reason or excuse” for the stage-crashing moment that some were quick to compare to the artist formerly known as Kanye West’s interruption of Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
“What I did was very selfish and inconsiderate,” she said. “I wasn’t considering anybody else’s thoughts, nothing but my own, and just being in the moment, being impulsive, and I took away from your moment and I deeply am truly apologetic for that. To FaZe Clan, I definitely respect you guys as a group. You guys are real pioneers in the Twitch space. I’m very new. … I’m still learning as I go. I respect you guys. And again, what I did was completely unnecessary and uncalled for.”
Love continued her statement by also offering an apology to Streamer Awards co-host QTCinderella.
“I want to apologize to QT,” she said. “First of all, I appreciate you inviting me and there is no excuse for my behavior. It was very distasteful. It was very, I keep saying, unnecessary. It was my initial emotion response and, again, I had no business being on that stage, and that is that. I hope one day you give me grace enough to forgive me for my actions.”
Additional apologies were offered to her team, herself, and her community (“I’m truly sorry”) before Love conceded that she was “completely wrong” for what she did. Love also said she would have felt “absolutely like shit” if the roles had been reversed.
Other winners at the 2025 Streamer Awards included PlaqueBoyMax, Fanum, iShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and more. Love’s stage-crashing incident wasn’t the only controversial moment to come out of the ceremony.
