==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>
