Ludwig goes on Twitch ‘hiatus’ after being bullied over his bald head
Internet star Ludwig Ahgren says he’s taking a “hiatus” from streaming until his hair grows back after shaving it off for losing a bet to his own fans.
Ludwigis known for doing the occasional over-the-top stunt for his viewers, but his latest on-stream shenanigans have sparked a hilarious online trend among his fans and fellow content creators.
On February 23, Ludwig went live onTwitch— his new home since hisYouTube contract endedin late 2024 — wearing a wolf mask, which he later removed to show off hisfreshly-shaved head.
According to Ahgren, he’d lost a bet with his chat for failing to reach platinum inLeague of Legendsby January, and was forced to shave off all his hair as punishment.

‘Bald Ludwig’ has become somewhat of a meme in the streaming community, prompting humorous reactions from other streamers likePokimane, who joked that the shape of his head was “pissing [her] off” and that he “needs to be studied for scientific purposes.”

Of course, it’s likely that he’s just joking about taking a streaming hiatus, but his announcement has sparked even more lighthearted jabs at his appearance from his fans as he waits for his hair to grow back.
“Just get a wig. LudWIG,”one joked.
“Time to make use of your model,”another said, referencing Ludwig’s new VTuber model, which prompted aheated debate in the VTubing communitywhen he debuted it that same month.

“Lmao bald, but make it fashionable, right? Maybe rock a beanie or some shades ’till then,”another suggested.
For now, it looks like Ludwig is channeling his inner Vin Diesel until his mane grows back in. Until then, fans will probably keep roasting him on X.
