Rapper and Twitch streamer PlaqueBoyMax recently turned a young fan’s day around with an incredible gift of over $7,000 worth of clothing and shoes at SkyZone. The heartwarming moment unfolded when PlaqueBoyMax, whose real name is Maxwell Elliot Dent, met 12-year-old Joseph at the popular trampoline park and learned the boy was being bullied. The encounter, which took place during one of PlaqueBoyMax’s live streams, has since gone viral, showcasing the artist’s compassion and connection with his audience.
The interaction began casually but quickly turned serious when PlaqueBoyMax noticed Joseph seemed upset. According to the stream footage, PlaqueBoyMax approached the boy and asked,
“Bro, what’s up with you, bro? He falling out. Look at me.”
Joseph, visibly emotional, shared his struggles with bullying, prompting an immediate response from the streamer. In a moment captured on video, PlaqueBoyMax declared,
“You’re done, bro,” signaling his determination to help. He then revealed his plan, saying, “I need so much, so much money. $7,000, y’all, all the bags.”
What followed was a powerful exchange where PlaqueBoyMax addressed Joseph directly, offering both encouragement and support.
“Hey, Joseph, hey, look, listen to me, real talk, all them bullies, you gotta ignore them bullies,”
he said.
“If you’re a great kid, you gotta ignore them. You gotta stay on your path. They just try to bring you down, OK? You hear me? They gonna say mean things. They just mean people and mean-spirited. You have a good spirit, you know you got a good soul, keep being you.”
To ensure Joseph felt empowered, PlaqueBoyMax sweetened the deal with a playful challenge.
“And if you don’t score points in those Kobe’s, I’m gonna come get those Kobe’s back, OK? I’m gonna come take your Kobe’s back. You need to start getting buckets, right? Rail their buckets.”
The moment ended on a high note, with PlaqueBoyMax cheering,
“Alright, Joseph, let me get a W Joseph. Thank you guys so much.”
The $7,000 gift included high-end clothing and sneakers, likely featuring brands Joseph admired, though specifics weren’t detailed. The exact SkyZone location wasn’t disclosed, but the chain’s branches are known for being family-friendly hubs, making it a fitting setting for this spontaneous act of kindness.
This gesture is more than just a generous gift—it’s a testament to PlaqueBoyMax’s influence as a role model. The 22-year-old, hailing from West Orange, New Jersey, has built a massive following through his engaging Twitch streams and music career. Starting on YouTube with basketball videos under “MaxGotNext,” he later co-founded “Basement Boyz” during the pandemic before focusing on solo streaming in April 2021. His recent EP, “LONDON,” released on March 20, 2025, and collaborations with artists like DDG have cemented his status in hip-hop and streaming circles. As a member of FaZe Clan, he continues to blend entertainment with meaningful fan interactions.
PlaqueBoyMax’s history of standing up for others adds depth to this story. Earlier in 2025, he confronted stream snipers at SkyZone, showing his readiness to address negativity head-on. This latest act of kindness for Joseph not only highlights his compassion but also his commitment to using his platform to uplift others, especially young fans facing challenges like bullying.
For Joseph, the impact could be life-changing. The clothing and shoes, combined with PlaqueBoyMax’s words of encouragement, likely gave him a newfound sense of confidence and validation. Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising PlaqueBoyMax for turning a difficult situation into a moment of hope.
Looking ahead, PlaqueBoyMax is poised to continue his rise in music and streaming. With projects like the “5$tar” series and more music on the horizon, his star is only growing brighter. For now, his encounter with Joseph at SkyZone stands as a powerful reminder of the difference one person can make.
