November 22, 2024 [1]

On November 22, 2024, a Twitter account impersonating American internet personality and online streamer, Cheesur, posted inflammatory comments targeted toward the Mexican Jalisco New Generation cartel and its leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, also known as El Mencho. At first, internet users believed it was the online streamer because of Twitter posts that included alleged missing person posters of the streamer. The account was later debunked as not being Cheesur. He would later go live on Kick to confirm that he was not missing and was alive.

Background

Nermin Dzaferovic (born April 25, 2001), known online as Cheesur, is a content creator who broadcasts himself live on the live-streaming service Kick, playing video games, such as games in the NBA 2K franchise. He also broadcasts himself collaborating with other streamers such as Adin Ross. He first gained popularity around 2019-2020 on another streaming service named Twitch, where he would regularly play NBA 2K20 . As of January 2025, he has more than 100,000 followers on both platforms. [2]

Previous misinformation

On September 14, 2024, posts on Twitter claimed to confirm that Cheesur had been shot and killed outside the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. These posts were confirmed to be false to gain attention and engagement. [3]

On November 1, 2024, a rumor circulated around that Cheesur was shot and killed during a home invasion while handing out candy on the night of Halloween. This was later debunked as misinformation. [3]

Twitter post

On November 22, 2024, at 10:31 pm (EST), a Twitter account named "Cheesur449" posted a tweet insulting Mexican cartel leader El Mencho. [4] The post later gained traction from users on Twitter and other social media, resulting in people calling this action irresponsible and others reckless. Portions of the internet also believed that the post was not factual and that Cheesur constructed a publicity stunt. Missing person posters were also circulating on social media. The posters included his real name, a description of what he was wearing when he was last seen, and a phone number for people to call to provide information about his whereabouts. [1] [5] A day later, the post insulting the cartel leader was deleted from Twitter. [6]

Amid Cheesur's absence, many accounts on Twitter spread misinformation about the original post, with them claiming that he was the one who made the statement about the cartel. A post, in particular, published by a well-known account that is known for updating users on recent events surrounding the streaming platform Kick, claimed Cheesur himself was the one who slandered the cartel. The post later got deleted from Twitter. [6] In addition, news media and websites in Mexico covering the case also mentioned that Cheesur was missing and was last seen in Jacksonville, Florida. [4] [2] More misinformation was spread by many accounts, including one that allegedly confirmed that Cheesur passed away as a result of insulting El Mencho and the cartel, which left fans and viewers concerned about his safety. [3]

On November 24, 2024, Cheesur would post a tweet on his official account claiming everything being said on Twitter was a lie by saying, "Anything you guys have been seeing on twitter is NOT my account and is people faking stuff on my name, just losers getting clout off the big cheese name. See yall 2025, over it." [7] [4] He would later start a live stream on Kick to confirm that he was not hurt and was well alive. [2]
