Nikita Dragun and Trisha Paytas have heated back and forth on Twitter

Nikita Dragun and Trisha Paytas have heated back and forth on Twitter. Nikita Dragun is one of the most controversial figures on youtube. The beauty guru rose to fame for her videos as a trans content creator but since then she has become a primary target of ridicule online.
Not for being trans, but for her horrible attitude, her constant blackfishing and most recently, her predatory behaviour. Earlier in the year, Nikita Dragun caught flak for lying about her age and being predatory towards a minor, read the full story here.
However, Trisha Paytas is also an unpopular figure as well. She is one of the oldest YouTubers on the platform, gaining a following around the same time as Shane Dawson and she has been in as much and more drama as Nikita. From when she was outright racist, to when she wore blackface, to the numerous times she has lied about having a mental illness.
Anyway, neither are strangers to backlash. So why are they online fighting right now? Well, it might be the pandemic getting to them as the dispute seemingly started from nowhere. Here is what happened.
Another YouTuber made a post on Twitter about Nikita Dragun’s Snapchat show being on its 3rd season. A post that had nothing to do with Trisha.

Trisha quickly Quote Twitter with the caption “on Snapchat *laughing emoji*”, which was a jab at Nikita Dragun’s success.

Nikita responded and boasted about another show with Netflix, which set the two off on a series of tweets, calling out each other for both their disgusting pasts.
30 million viewers and a billboard on sunset… but anyways let me go back to filming my Netflix show 😹 https://t.co/L6QC94rTPe

Trisha responded by implying she was lying and being delusional about Netflix.
Oooo now it’s Netflix ? Damn I wish I had a fantasy land 🤣🤣🤣 she really just said bye Snapchat 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/Nyzh8RMKHU

Nikita called out Trisha for lying about and pretending to be trans in the past and made sure to bring up herself being trans yet again.
Trisha haven’t u done enough to the Trans community? there’s no need to downplay mine or any Trans woman’s accomplishments. happy #TransDayOfVisibility @trishapaytas
— Nikita Dragun (@NikitaDragun) March 31, 2021
And when someone called her out for using being trans to deflect, she made her Snapchat show and success as some kind of win for the trans community when she has really done nothing of note for her community.
downplaying or mocking the success of a Trans woman is incredibly toxic for the community. countless women, men, and nonconforming ppl have paved the way for someone like me. so a small win like a show on Snapchat, that’s watched by millions, is huge. this isn’t about me. https://t.co/hkAJ8Vebp7

Trans people have been pushed to the side since the dawn of time. Never getting acknowledged or rewarded for the impact we have had on society as a whole. We are here and we have always been here. Human to the core. This is not a choice! #TransDayOfVisibility

Trisha then brought up Nikita’s recent predatory behaviour we mentioned before.
Nikita trying so hard to stay relevant 🤣🤣🤣 she hangs out with 18 year olds but old af. She creepy as hell. And delusional as shit thinking 30 mil ppl watch her Snapchat show. Also anyone who uses their gender as a mask for why ppl hate them is setting back the movement
— Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) March 31, 2021
Trisha made sure to call Nikita out for weaponizing and using being trans to deflect criticism.
Nikita dragun:: pays a model to hang out with her then publicly shames him he doesn’t want to date her. Nikita dragun: friends with 3 admitted pedophiles. Nikita dragun: never seen once with a mask the whole pandemic Nikita dragun: setting back trans equality by weaponizing
— Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) March 31, 2021
Nikita responded by also bringing up Trisha’s past with exposed paedophile Shane Dawson and an ex-boyfriend.
this u ? @trishapaytas https://t.co/1ULjsDvwE7
— Nikita Dragun (@NikitaDragun) April 1, 2021
However, Trisha mentioned that she had apologized for her past behaviour and was no longer that person, while Nikita was very much still engaging in predatory behaviour.
The fact that @NikitaDragun is calling me out cause she’s butt hurt. Not trying to protect anyone or anything but she big mad she is still a pedo enabler in 2021. Still lonely and desperate as hell. Broke and sad
— Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) April 1, 2021
Nikita then called out Trisha for physically abusing her fiance.
the same fiancé u domestically abuse? @trishapaytas ur a vile human being. u need to be locked up immediately if not sooner. https://t.co/d2iKzGf7VP pic.twitter.com/Sa4NZ383Zz
— Nikita Dragun (@NikitaDragun) April 1, 2021
While Trisha called her out for being irresponsible and having a huge party in the middle of a pandemic.
. @NikitaDragun reaching. U are responsible for covid deaths cause ur ignorant ass couldn’t stay home from a party cause u seek validation like the bottomless skank that u r
— Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) April 1, 2021
Trisha’s friend H3H3 quickly got involved, bringing up Nikita’s association with James Charles, another YouTuber being accused of paedophilia.
Talk to your friend James Charles about jail, Moses and Trisha are happy and worked through it. It’s weird that you’re more worked up about a happy consensual couple than a literal predator in your immediate friend circle.

And he got so much hate @NikitaDragun just because u pay someone to hang out with u does not mean they have to fuck u. U r a sexual predator. Apologize https://t.co/xAyfg302HX
— Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) April 1, 2021
Nikita then tweeted and deleted a jab at Trisha Paytas while she was struggling when gender dysphoria (although she has been accused of lying about this).

The two are still going at it, but in conclusion, they are both terrible. Cancel them both. Anyway, what do you think about “Nikita Dragun and Trisha Paytas have heated back and forth on Twitter”? Is it stupid? Do you actually support either of these two weirdos? Comment below.
