Popular video gaming streamer Tyler Blevins, known as Ninja to his millions of fans online, shared on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer. In a post on X, Blevins, 32, who is the most followed person on Twitch, said he is 'still in a bit of shock' about the news, which he learned during an annual skin/mole check appointment with his dermatologist. 'There was a mole on the bottom of my foot that they wanted to remove just to be careful,' he wrote in the post.

'I’m grateful to have hope in finding this early, but please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups,' he said. A representative for Blevins did not immediately return a request for comment. Blevins, who has been a streamer for more than a decade, is one of the most popular personalities in esports and gaming. He has 19 million followers on Twitch, where he often plays titles like Fortnite.
