Fousey signs to Kick after being banned from Twitch twice in a week
YouTube star turned streamer Fousey has signed a deal with Kick after being banned from Amazon-owned platform Twitch twice in one week.
Starting out as a YouTuber over a decade,Fouseyis now one of the biggest names in streaming at the moment. From being under fire andaccused of taking advantage of a “trafficked” womanat an airport to theuse of racial and homophobic slurs— it’s fair to say Fousey has been a major vocal point recently.
On August 7, Fousey was hit with a three-day ban for saying a “hateful slur” on stream, where on August 10, the streamer returned to continue his 24/7 broadcast —only to be banned for a second timein the space of a week.
Likewise to many others in the space, Fousey has now jumped ship following his second ban, signing a deal with rival platform Kick.

“Dear @Twitch I LOVE YOU. So much. But you dropped the ball HARD. I signed with KICK this week,” he wrote. “But STILL was gonna celebrate 24/7 on Twitch out of respect. And you banned me twice in 1 week.”
“I’m sorry for the F slur and driving wreck-less but in ALL my appeals I said “I don’t have a twitch rep. Please have someone teach me TOS.” Don’t worry, I’ll be back. But not this weekend. G7

Furthermore, in aKick streamthe same day, Fousey said that signing a deal, “I started YouTube on June 27, 2025. Every YouTuber that started with me died ten times over. They now work a regular job, good for them, make a living.
“It’s 2023, I’m still here and I’ve just signed a deal with Kick and I’m about to take the f**k over.”
He added: “I’m live 24/7. The cameras never turn off, I show you everything even when I’m in the heat of drama and the internet is trying to cancel me. I’m live, so you see I don’t script sht, I don’t fake sht and everything’s real.”
