TSM’s Hamlinz roasts DrLupo during Fortnite World Cup, and Lupo hits back

Popular streamers Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin and Ben ‘DrLupo‘ Lupo engaged in a hilarious back-and-forth of roasts, all while the qualifiers for the Fortnite World Cup were going on. 

The Fortnite Battle Royale has given prominence to numerous entertaining figures in the gaming community, two of them being Hamlinz and DrLupo.

Both are household names in the online gaming community, known for their great sense of humor and ability to unleash some unforgiving roasts if need be.

Fans were treated to some quality banter between the two, as they exchanged some verbal jabs at each other during Week 7 of the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers.

Hamlinz started the roast war with DrLupo after questioning his fashion sense in Fortnite BR.

It all started when Hamlinz decided to listen to his chat and randomize his skin combo, which resulted in an awkward set of cosmetic items. He immediately used the combo to start roasting DrLupo’s fashion sense in the game.

“Why did my chat want me to put my sh*t on random,” he said. “I literally have a bot combo skin right now. This is some sh*t DrLupo would wear. This is some DrLupo skin combo. The f*ck is this? Oh mother f*cker!”

DrLupo fires back

Inevitable, the roast ended up finding its way to DrLupo, who was busy helping cast the NA East and West qualifiers for the Fortnite World Cup.

Being away from home did not stop the star streamer from recording his reaction to the roast and putting it on Twitter.

“Your boy Hamlinz looking like he shops at Baby Gap on the daily,” he roasted back. “Every shirt he wears is extra medium, and those shoes are probably Velcro – don’t lie.”

It didn’t come as a major shock to see Lupo immediately direct a roast at Hamlinz’s lack of height, which has been the subject of a multitude of jokes in the online gaming community.

However, the funniest part about the return jab was probably not even what Lupo said, but rather at how he kept a serious and stone-faced expression throughout the entire clip, which was probably not easy to do.

Hamlinz responds to Lupo’s roast

The back-and-forth didn’t stop there, as Lupo’s roast was caught by Hamlinz, who both reacted to it in a response tweet and live while streaming.

While he didn’t say anything back to Lupo that would continue their war of words, he also refused to back down, jokingly saying that Lupo “don’t want no f*cking smoke” on his stream.
