To prove I never wanted drama with TGG, that I did not want this public, and never consented to it being public, I have removed everything I posted. I have long accepted that people will lie about on the internet, I just never expected it to come from my friend of 5 years, who spent over a month, and hours of time, calling me crazy for doubting him as a friend. Happy engagement to me I guess... I was coming home to make peace with him, despite all he did over the last few days. That is the honest truth. Edit: Please stop speculating on what TGG said. None of it is true. What his concerns were, why this happened, what I sent him, and why. Literally nothing. Aitana was a major force in inspiring me NOT to make a video. However, she is now so disgusted by the things TGG said that even she knows are lies, and the lengths he went to destroy our engagement, SHE wants me to respond. I was rude to TGG because he was actively destroying my engagement and lying about me and us publicly while I begged him not to. The most justified rudeness in the history of mankind.

It’s not too late to discuss shit with him Matt. I said it from the beginning, y’all need to talk about this because there’s clearly some sort of miscommunication going on. Personally, I don’t think he’s wrong for caring about his brand. That’s his job. He’s well within his right to make business choices that benefit him. And if distancing himself from your politics and dramas is that choice, then why is that wrong? And let’s not pretend that YOU didn’t post screenshots of TGG being willing to continue being your friend and even being willing to continue the podcast after some time away. Here’s my final thought on this. And I really really hope you see this and hear me out. Please take time away, Matt. Idk if it’s the amount of dramas you’ve been in in such a short amount of time or what. But it’s clearly getting to you and I don’t want you to make irrational decisions because of that. I don’t think you and TGG want to hate each other. I don’t think you two actually want to stop being friends. I genuinely think you have a lot on your mind and it’s causing unnecessary stress which is hurting you and your relationships. It happens, Matt. I think you could benefit from getting rid of the cesspool that is Twitter first of all. And I really think you should take a week off of streaming and recording. Get your mindset in check and come back healthy. Maybe work things out with TGG if you both want to. I can absolutely tell that neither of you want this. So please, Matt. For your sake, take time to get healthy.

Come on Matt you and TGG are amazing. Please try to talk to each other privately and fix things. We love both of you. your community and. TGG’s community are one. We’re here for both of you. Am I right guys?

I can't believe he hit you with the "he sent me a giant wall of text, that's clearly not normal behavior"in his video, as if that's not just who you are and always (at least, in the last couple of years) were. Please try to enjoy your time with Aitana. Very happy that at least that part of your life is going great. Really really happy for you, you deserve it. dviperLove

Literally Trevor and Michael bullshit

Everyone is just glossing over the horrible messages that Matt sent to TGG. No wonder you didn't want it public, please take some time away to get help. All of this drama seems to have YOU, in the middle

I hope you two make it up one day, sad to see this situation and tgg looks emotionally torn and youve guys been good friends for years, loving both of your content, you guys are the gta goats, I really hope this gets better ❤

Please stay off Twitter Matto, I don’t know how a gta speedrunner could get into so much drama, wishing the best for you :)

I'm a fan of Matt's content. From my limited perspective, because I'm not gonna play detective, I don't understand why Matt feels he needs to defend himself. Maybe there's a better reason I just don't understand. I know it's hard to have people spread misinformation about you. I'm not in his position and I can't imagine it. To me seems like it would be better to say nothing at all. To me it seems like Matt has an unhealthy obsession with drama. I'm a fan. Not a fake fan, trying to lie to people. I just wanted to say my peace.

Why is it that everytime i turn around Darkviperau is in some drama like WITW?

Matt ive followed you for years but these recent dramas have clearly taken a toll on you this whole thing seems to come down to a miscommunication please reach out to tgg and take him up on that offer for a beer. Life is to short dont make any decisions you regret please matt

As someone who follows both, dark viper and TGG. As much as I like you, TGG handled this very Professionally, he also showed some DMs by you on his channel that were not appropriate. I just feel bad for the friendship lost honestly. Hope things get better between you two

matt i have been a long view of yours and only passively watch TGG but i have to say please take a step back and realize that he is not against you, ive been in your shoes before and you are sadly looking so densely at everything rn, I agree with 98% of the things that you make political videos on, you’re actually a really good person for that. Don’t let anyone make you think that standing up for what you believe in is a bad thing. but you need to look at it from the point of view of where he is, as someone who is not trying to affiliate their brand with their personal beliefs. I know it can suck when you feel like the whole world is against you and your friend isn’t completely by your side, but you can’t take that as him being against you. he’s his own person who needs to look out for him, and he was also clearly still looking out for you, and you are not even wrong to question the idea of what that friendship was, because in that moment you needed something different from him than he was giving you. but that can’t be something you negatively view him for or feel like he owes you some sort of public defense that could hurt him. The world isn’t black and white and neither of you are in the wrong, you both just approached a situation differently, but I feel like you have a very clouded view of the situation and feel like he’s against you whereas I think he has made it pretty clear he doesn’t feel like you’re against him and he doesn’t feel negatively towards you, long story short I feel like if you step back and look at the situation and take a little bit of personal accountability. You realize that there was never as big of a situation as you came to believe. And I’m saying that as someone who has spiraled in the same way, I’m seeing you spiral right now. its not good man, im worried 😕🫶🏻

A long break could do wonders. Take care of yourself Matto

It is really sad to see. I hope you had an amazing time with Aitana, you have a lot of amazing things to look forward to

Leave the things that hurt you, and live for someone who loves you, and make you happy brother

I don't even know what to think about this, tggs video had some point but your crashout was pretty fucking valid. His replies were cold and kind of demeaning. If he meant it that way, i doubt it tho. But your reaction is understandable. Highly doubt i would have done much different
2
I totally believe you. I'm very proud of you. And this truly shows you are the bigger man. Someday, somewhere, somebody is gonna say this proves you were in the wrong. Ignore them. Honestly, in advance, just let it go. Congratulations on the engagement! Enjoy it. I can't wait to see the next bit of GTA content you have planned for us and I wish upon you 5M Subscribers in 2026. Congratulations, Matto! I wish you all the best!

Thank you matt, enjoy your engagement and just take a long break. Sometimes not responding is best

Friends have the easiest access to stab you in the back.

Im unsubscribing matto you need to change you have an obsession with needing to be the person who is in the right and correct the other person too much, its weighing you down And your only digging yourself deeper goodluck and i hope you find inner peace.

i dont know what to think, just be happy for now..

We love you, Matto. Let’s just leave this all behind now. We wish you the best and just want to continue loving you and your content and being the fans of you we’ve always been. Please enjoy your engagement with Aitana and leave any drama going on behind. If you feel it necessary for your peace of mind you can make amends with TGG. But I’d say stay away from it and move on and spend your time with Aitana and making the content you have been as well as the livestreams as usual. We seriously love you, Matto. I know realistically we’re all strangers, but that doesn’t change the fact most of us have been around watching you for like 7 years now. So trust me when I say, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll love both you and TGG whilst wishing both of you all the best on your individual journeys. Stay safe, Matto, and I wish you all the best. 💙💙💙
It's difficult to be slandered and lied about for no good reason, wanting to defend yourself is only normal. But you doing this and letting everyone know that, yeah I do now want this, it is a power move. Don't let the grifters and naysayers affect your happiness Matto. I genuinely wish you are happy and never get into another drama, even if people online are trying to drag you into it with everything they have. Enjoy this time you have with your loved ones and happy engagement.

Honestly I think this is a good move. I like you both, you're both great creators and it is sad to see your friendship end this way. If one day you guys do ever reconcile, that'll be awesome but do what's best for you. Also I do think it's time you need to step back from drama stuff for now on. I mentioned this on tggs vid. We see it stresses you out and it can't be good for your health. Obviously yes, you've got every right to stand up for yourself, but sometimes is it really worth the hassle of Internet drama? I think it's time to focus on the positives in your life. That's more important. Maybe even look into therapy, not because I think you're crazy etc, it can be good to get things off you chest, having someone to listen to you etc. Wishing you all the best Matto. I truly hope things do well for you. Congrats on the engagement.

It's unfortunate Matt can get so emotional at times and make so many of the same mistakes over and over with people. You'd think maybe he'd learn that he can be quite emotional, and thus say things he only means to say due to his emotions. It's pretty clear to anyone that's watched both of them that this whole thing is just miscommunication and overall extremely dumb drama
I was right, last time wasn't going to be the last time you talked about it.

Hey Matt, I normally don’t comment publicly but here it is… It sucks to have a crash out with your friend of 5 years, but as for now I want you to put your entire focus on relaxing and spending some quality time with your fiancé. Put away YouTube/Twitter away until you come back to Australia. Just have a good time with Aitana now as it’s precious.

Still try and make peace, it may sound odd but I think he genuinely thinks he's right, just do the right thing for you and your Fiancée

This is why people shouldn't be getting into political debates/arguments online. Nothing good ever comes from it
22
I know you won't probably find my comment as useful information but I also happened to come across the same conundrum as you did. One of our members in the bus community has been constantly posting misinformation towards my friend that honestly forced him to change his username to something else. In a niche community like bus spotting, you don't really expect toxicity like that.
2
This seems like something that is better solved through a simple private message exchange were you both say how you felt and try to squash the beef. You two don't need to reform a friendship but a mutual apology and both of you deciding to erase the drama and do your own things would probably be an ideal outcome but I also haven't seen the full history of your friendship/arguements but this is the best i can say as someone who has been screwed over by those i called friend a few too many times. Ether way wish you luck with your future endeavours Matt and happy engagement.
I'm happy your being the bigger man is a shame I found you through TGG but I really don't like how he has handled this especially with everything you have had to deal with wish you all the love now go spend quality time with your soon to be bride

1. Dude probably won’t be my only comment on this but only two minutes in and you’ve already made a falsehood, people say “I am the one who made this public”, but I asked for permission to make it public so that means I didn’t make a public??? dude. That still means u started this and u asked to do so.

Been a Fan for years and never watched TGG beside the vid, but TGG is absolutely right here. Even more so due to this post. " i'm used to people lying on the internet" and then lying about never wanting it to go public, whilst making all Kinds of posts is pathetic. If you really didn't want it to go public, you'd have let it go after TGG made the Post about discontinuing the podcast. " i Was going to make peace with him". That's why i blocked him on every plattform, right? Yes more often than not you were right in the past about others, but being in drama every other week doesn't seem to be a coincidence.

all i can really say is shit happens, depends on how you take it, and so far your taking it well. Admirable. Ignore eveything happening right now and just enjoy engagement.
