| Despite being banned from the Smash Community in January 2024, Mekk became sponsored by ESTV on March 14th, 2024.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://x.com/ssbMekk/status/1768379919350845739?s=20|title=Mekk joins ESTV}}</ref>

| ==Ban==
| |
| In January 2024 Mekk was globally banned for alleged use of continued hate speech, bigotry, & harassment while smurfing on social media as ''IronSpartan'' <ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SmashEurope/status/1751334259002839186|title=Mekk/IronSpartan's ban}}</ref>. He responded by admitting that he is indeed ''IronSpartan'' (though also claiming that multiple people use the persona and that the profile is "definitely a meme account on Twitter"), not apologizing and leaving "the mainstream community to go work on an alternate space for smash" <ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ssbMekk/status/1751347754834579909|title=Mekk's reaction on his ban}}</ref>.
