As a long-time fan of Dr Disrespect, it’s been quite a rollercoaster ride watching his career unfold over the years. The latest turn of events with Kick and Rumble refusing to offer him a streaming contract is certainly surprising, given their initial interest.
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got some exclusive news to share. After initially welcoming Dr Disrespect to stream on our platform, Kick and I have decided to reconsider our decision. We’re standing together, refusing to offer him a streaming contract at this time. This move is based on factors we believe are important for maintaining the quality of content and community we strive to uphold on our gaming platform.
In June, streamer Dr Disrespect faced significant consequences including losing numerous friendships, endorsements, and streaming opportunities, following allegations that he had sent inappropriate private messages to a minor, which were later exposed by ex-employees of Twitch.
In a now-removed tweet, Doc (originally known as Guy Beahm) admitted to the accusations against him. However, upon returning to YouTube, he asserted that Twitch manipulated the situation leading to his ban, suggesting that the messages used to dismiss him were misinterpreted or taken out of context.
Before the motive behind the ban was disclosed, several platforms expressed a keen interest in recruiting Dr Disrespect, among them being the free speech platform Rumble.
2023 saw Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski expressing his enthusiasm to TopMob about potentially bringing on board the popular streamer, Dr Disrespect, following the signing of Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed for an exclusive show.
We’re keen on anyone who aims to produce genuine material, regardless of any restrictions they may encounter during the creation process.
DrDisrespect won’t be getting anything from Kick or even Rumble anytime soon

A year has passed, and it appears no such proposal is forthcoming. Journalist Rod ‘Slasher’ Breslau, citing unnamed sources, suggests that Doc will not receive any offer from Rumble in the near future.
This disclosure occurs shortly following the statement from Kick’s co-founder, Edward Kraven, who has expressed that entering into an agreement with Dr. Disrespect, considering both monetary and business aspects at present, is not logical.
A few days passed, and Beahm publicly stated that he would step away from the platform before even contemplating streaming on Twitch.
He remarked, ‘My community stands out as the finest in our field. I’d be reluctant to move it elsewhere, because there’s a compelling explanation why they often mention me. Reflect on this fact.’
Later on, Adin Ross alleged that Dr Disrespect was dishonest, stating that a deal was available prior to the Twitch ban controversy, but he chose not to accept it.
Back in May 2024, I flat-out refused a mind-blowing $10 million yearly deal from Kick, because in my opinion, I’m worth at least fifty million bucks! It’s all about the game, baby.
Doc explained everything he is working on to justify that $50 million

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, the streaming community here is unbeatable. We’ve solidified our place, and it shows with those mind-blowing statistics. We’re on top of our game, feeling confident as can be. It’s like cruising down the highway in a fleet of Lamborghinis, with no need to speed up. I’m just enjoying the ride.
Since the ban information became known, YouTube suspended Doc’s monetization. Although he has resubmitted his application, his eligibility for monetization remains unrestored at this point.
It appears that Beahm won’t likely move away from YouTube in the near future since neither Kick nor Rumble’s offers are still valid. Even if he has to depend solely on contributions from his audience for income, he seems content with staying put on YouTube.
