Ninja becomes first ever to reach 10 million Twitch followers
Tyler "Ninja" Blevins became the first Twitch streamer in the history of the platform to reach 10 million followers on Thursday night.
First streamer on twitch to ever hit 10 million followers! This milestone is seriously ridiculous and the one I am most proud of. I have been streaming for a very very long time... and I cannot express how grateful I am to be in the position I am in.

Of course Ninja has exploded since the release of Fortnite's Battle Royale mode and his steam featuring musicians Drake and Travis Scott.
He passed the 10 million follower milestone while streaming from Lollapalooza music festival on Friday.
