Kick staff call out “rage baiters” claiming they signed Nick Fuentes & Sneako

As a seasoned gamer with years of streaming under my belt, I can confidently say that these rumors about Kick signing Nick Fuentes and Sneako are nothing but hot air. With my own experiences of dealing with controversial figures in the gaming community, I know better than to trust every piece of news that floats around online.


The kick staff are refuting claims that they have agreed to work with content creators Nick Fuentes and Sneako, who have been involved in controversies.

After its debut, Kick has managed to secure some of the most prominent content creators globally on its platform, one such example being Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel who was offered an impressive $100M contract.

Besides xQc, the green streaming platform also brought on board personalities such as Amouranth, NICKMERCS, and grandmaster chess player Hikaru. However, in recent months, the platform seems to have reduced its pace when it comes to signing new contracts.

Rather than insisting on a single platform, Kick emphasizes the significance of broadcasting across multiple streaming services. He advises content creators to expand their reach by showcasing their work on various platforms to increase their viewership.

Despite these rumors persisting, they haven’t deterred the spread of speculation about potential new signings. In early October, after reports emerged that Haliey Welch, famously known as ‘Hawk Tuah girl’, had joined Kick, the company’s CEO, Ed Craven, felt compelled to dismiss allegations that she had secured a $5M deal with the site.

I’ve been hearing some buzz lately, sparked by trending social media chatter, hinting at a possible switch for political commentator Nick Fuentes and influencer Sneako. The gist is they might have inked deals to join Kick – that’s all the info I got for now!

Over the years, these two broadcasters have generated a lot of commotion due to their contentious views on multiple subjects. Their recent speculated association with Kick sparked significant debate among online communities, leading to a considerable stir.

Actually, as a gamer speaking here, I’ve heard some rumors floating around about Kick supposedly signing Nick Fuentes and Sneako. But after checking out some reliable sources, it seems those rumors aren’t quite accurate. According to Rod ‘Slasher’ Breslau, both Fuentes and Sneako are free to sign up and stream like any other gamer. So, if you spot them in the gaming world, they’re probably just playing on their own terms!

This is accurate. Anyone else saying otherwise is rage baiting.

As an enthusiast, I’d like to share that when the gossip started swirling, none other than Andrew Santamaria, Kick’s Head of Strategic Partnerships, didn’t shy away from calling out those accounts. He accused them squarely, suggesting they were attempting to stir up trouble.

He confirmed that what Slasher stated was correct, implying anyone claiming differently is stirring up unnecessary anger or controversy.

The rumors emerge since Dr Disrespect, who has been disgraced, announced that he would retire prior to streaming on Kick. This led Adin Ross to clarify that Doc was nearly signing a deal with this platform, but the situation unfolded when the reason for his Twitch ban became public knowledge, causing Kick not to pay him the desired amount.
