Cyraxx has a habit of | Cyraxx has a habit of inserting himself into recent deaths or tragedies as a way to siphon sympathy out of the situation, or use as promotion for himself. This generally takes the form of overly dramatic "crying" videos or horrendous "tribute" concerts, where he claims to be a "close friend" to the deceased, even if they had absolutely nothing to do with him, before inevitably bringing the subject back to himself and completely forgetting who the video was dedicated for. | ||
* In 2015, Akron resident [[Zak Hussein]] was shot and killed during a robbery while working at his family's pizza parlor. Three years later in 2018, Cyraxx started claiming Zak as a close friend of his, making memorial streams and mourning his death on multiple occasions. In 2023, someone purporting to be Zak's brother debunked Cyraxx's claims, saying that the two barely even knew each other<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSU1LAR1cWM</ref> and that Cyraxx was inventing his friendship with Zak to make himself look more interesting. | * In 2015, Akron resident [[Zak Hussein]] was shot and killed during a robbery while working at his family's pizza parlor.

* On March 11th 2025, Donald Jr. "Brotherchu" Slydell, brother of notorious TikTok lolcow Tophiachu, was shot and killed by a carjacker in front of his family. Not even a day after the event, Cyraxx made a video where he slanderously claims that Brotherchu was killed by trolls because her sister was a lolcow, and uses his death as a platform to whine about his own trolls<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUp_vZmrqbE</ref>. | * On March 11th 2025, Donald Jr. "Brotherchu" Slydell, brother of notorious TikTok lolcow Tophiachu, was shot and killed by a carjacker in front of his family.

* On August 22nd 2025, it was confirmed that YouTuber Cobes "KingCobraJFS" had passed away due to alleged food or alcohol poisoning. Despite his status as a lolcow, KingCobraJFS maintained a fairly positive image online, gaining legitimate fans out of his eccentric life and outrageous "food hack" videos. On the same day, Cyraxx hosted a livestream where he performed a "tribute" concert in honor of KingCobra's memory, grifting on his fame by calling him a "very close friend". This could not be further from the truth, as KingCobraJFS openly hated Cyraxx for being a sexual deviant and a pedophile, [https://deathbedtapes.bandcamp.com/track/fuck-cyrax even writing a diss track about him]. | |||
