Nicolas "Nico" Kenn De Balinthazy[6] (born 8 September 1998)[7] better known online as Sneako, is an American online streamer.
Sneako is generally considered to be part of the "manosphere", an ideology promoting masculinity, misogyny, anti-semitism, homophobia and opposition to feminism.[8][2][3] His commentaries have been deemed controversial and considered to be encouraging misogynistic views amongst young males.[9] Sneako had amassed over 1.28 million subscribers on his main channel on YouTube,[4] before being banned in October 2022.[10]
Sneako has since joined Rumble[10] and as of October 2023, he was the seventh most-watched channel with 1.37 million hours watched,[11] maintaining popularity among young male viewers.[10]

Sneako was born in New York City and grew up in an affluent and predominantly white neighborhood,[12] graduating from the Foote School in New Haven, Connecticut in 2014.[13] His father is from Haiti and is mixed-race,[12][14] while his mother’s family is from the Philippines.[15] Sneako has visited Haiti just about every year since he was two years old, as most of his family still lives there.[16][14]
Sneako made his online debut in 2013 as a YouTuber,[3] and has posted various content from gaming uploads, IRL streams, and reaction videos.[10] Sneako initially gained popularity for his unique style of editing and nuanced self-awareness commentaries, which spoke about life and spirituality before pivoting towards more controversial subjects that involved unfair scrutiny of women and marginalized people until his eventual ban from YouTube.[3][17] In one particular video, Sneako would ask Black people if it were okay for people who weren't black to say the N-word and would offer White people one dollar to say it.[18] In a TikTok video from an account now banned titled, A Woman's Worth, Sneako the interviewer, uses subtle use of ad hominem remarks with a female interviewee in order to boost his masculine position while seemingly discrediting her femininity when he describes her assertions of self-worth as "delusional".[19]
As of 2023, Sneako's newer content while more successful in terms of viewership, it has become unrecognizable from his original work, which ignited his streaming career from inception.[3]
Sneako is a supporter of Andrew Tate and has been seen in videos with him as a regular.[20][18] Sneako has expressed admiration for Tate, crediting him and his brother Tristan for their assistance in his betterment.[21]
Sneako’s content has also been described as supporting far-right political views.[10] In 2022, Sneako joined Kanye West’s 2024 presidential campaign and has referred to him as his childhood hero.[6] He has also voiced support far-right commentator Nick Fuentes. Speaking at an American First rally in July 2023, Sneako said, “Nick Fuentes is going to the next president of the United States."[22]
In 2023, Sneako defended homophobic and transphobic shouting by fans, including that "all gays should die", stating "this is how I was at 12. But if it sounds egregious to you, blame the [rainbow emoji] (sic) flags in their classrooms. Blame the media for emasculating men. It's your fault for forcing an obvious agenda."[10]
In March 2024, PinkNews reported that Sneako had claimed that MrBeast (who he formerly collaborated with) was "pushing kids to transgenderism", along with the "baseless claim" that male-bodied individuals were removing their genitalia as a result of MrBeast continuing to support a trans collaborator.[23]
On June 10, 2024, Twitch re-instated Sneako from a ban that lasted a year. [24]
