D'Angelo is a YouTuber and a commentator who often breaks down racism, misogyny, and bigotry in media and especially the internet culture. He recently did a live where he spoke about Caleb Hammer, a youtuber who provides financial advise. During the live, he pointed out how Caleb employs a slew of hateful and bigoted tropes and misogynistic tropes for larger engagement with his audience. He also criticised the fact that Caleb is offering financial programs for $1000 and called him out for being an abelist.
In response, Caleb went on an unhinged 4-hour live where he called D'Angelo the r-word over 40 times and continuously threatened to sue him. He claimed he wasn't a racist because he has a Black friend (and got that friend on the phone), and said he wasn't homophobic because he employs gay and queer people.
He has since also posted on his own sub, and people are discussing about how anything critical written on that post is being heavily moderated and removed.
This is D'Angelo's response.
2026 is going to be a long year.

If this means Caleb will finally disappear, I couldn’t be more on board.
I just subscribed to D’Angelo recently, highly recommend!!!
Caleb calling his black friend to prove he isn’t racist, is absolutely hysterical.
What weirdo, D’Angelo properly dragged him.
Read the title too fast and thought for a second this was about THE D’Angelo.
Leave D’Amgelo alone, he’s known to disappear and I need him in my 2026.
Aside from the fact that Caleb Hammer employs misogynist tactics, has a right-wing ragebait style to his videos, and focuses entirely on exploiting his guests, he’s also just…not good at financial advice? Which really is very much that “I can forgive racism but I draw the line at X” “you forgive racism?” Community clip with regards to all of Caleb’s other problems, but how the fuck can you be so bad at what your supposed job is?
YNAB did a remarkably good breakdown about how Caleb Hammer’s style of “advice” is toxic and frankly, just doesn’t work: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmimnTsvcPs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmimnTsvcPs)
D’Angelo’s response is **perfect**.
We love d‘angelo
>Caleb is offering financial programs for $1000
Christ. I used to watch Caleb when he had on “normal” people and got really into budgeting for a while, and I still keep that habit… but he’s since become a grifter who seems to now exclusively feature lolcow types for ragebait engagement, which feels exploitative and abelist, yes
sue on the grounds of WHAT exactly??? LMFAO for someone who claims to be intellectually and emotionally superior surely he must know that a person’s critiques of his behavior displayed in videos that HE posted HIMSELF are protected by free speech 😭😭😭😭😭
we ain’t doing that to d’angelo in the exact same way we ain’t listening to your financial advice, you absolute melt
I hate Caleb
His defense for using the R-slur regarding a real, autistic minor child was that the minor child’s mother said it was okay. Because apparently that makes it okay.
His rebuttal video is hard to watch as his voice keeps getting higher and higher – I’m surprised he didn’t shatter any glass during his temper tantrum.
> He claimed he wasn’t a racist because he has a Black friend **(and got that friend on the phone)**
Inflexibly funny and embarrassing. If it wasn’t a non-Black person on the other side claiming this, then some Black person has that little self esteem to get on a phone call and say it.
I’ve never heard such a whiney and obnoxious voice until I heard Caleb.
Where is footage of the crash out highlights of Caleb? I watched his videos a few times and I immediately got irritated at how he speaks to his guests
If he had just let D’Angelo’s (valid) critique stand unanswered, it probably would have died down after like a week.
Instead, he went ham shrieking how he was gonna sue, and D’Angelo ends him with the GROUP CHAT receipts.
He scares me! Like watch out he’ll eat you for criticizing him in any way! Yikes
if he is the financial advice available, i’ll declare bankruptcy right now
Hammer calling up some guy to be like “tell everyone I’m not racist!” killed me
Who’s Sue D’Angelo?
no girl i couldn’t be any _more_ on your side! i’ve been watching him for a while and as soon as i saw the post title i almost instinctively wanted to fight the man my damn self lmao
funny thing is, i’d _never_ heard of or seen this caleb hammer man a day in my life before right now. i just googled him and……ew. yuck, even
I thought this was about Caleb Hearon at first and I was shocked
let’s not forget caleb hammer is a sexual predator!!!
if CH has no haters i am DEAD
Didn’t know either parties, but now it’s fuck Caleb Humper.
I saw the videos and Caleb flying off the handle over clear opinions. Even thinking remotely for a second that he should even speak to his lawyer is….. quite something lol
I remember that Caleb once had a trans woman on one of his episodes, and there was a short that included a snippet from said episode, but everyone in that comment section misgendered, dehumanized and mocked her. It was so disheartening and awful…
Caleb is so vile
So, are people in the US advised not to sue black people in February in general, or is there a specific reason for mentioning his ethnicity?
Financial Audit is my schadenfreude trash but some of the stuff I’ve heard from episodes lately has been nuts. Plus it takes forever to get to the finances. Caleb is the type who dishes it out but can’t take it. There have been other videos talking about him, but why did he crash out with D’Angelo’s?
I’m OOTL on this but I just don’t understand why anyone watches Caleb’s channel. I watched 1-2 episodes and he didn’t even help them? He sent them to a financial advisor at the end, so like what do you accomplish other than belittling people? I get that some people need tough love but like…what’re we doing here? Any of my Canadian friends remember the show Princess on SliceTV? Atleast my girl Gail matched her tough love with actual advice and a plan forward.
