After a disturbing revelation by former Kick employee ItsMelissaDude, Kyedae is addressing the rumors about a potential offer to move platforms to Kick. Kyedae confirmed that she has turned down a potentially lucrative deal with the streaming platform because they tried to exploit her health situation. The streamer fought cancer for nearly a year.
Kyedae’s statement caused quite a debate in the streaming community. While some praised her integrity, others questioned her claims, including Kick’s newly minted poster boy xQc. The Canadian streamer has moved to the platform in early 2023 and has since become a leading contributor on the platform.
The juicer warlord defended the platform in his latest stream, asserting that Kyedae was never offered a gambling-focused contract by Kick. This contradiction left fans scratching their heads—is there a communication breakdown at Kick HQ, or something shadier at play?
As the he-said, she-said unfolded, the community grappled with larger questions about the ethics of streaming platforms. Kick’s cozy relationship with crypto casino Stake is not a secret and so the platform regularly finds itself at the center of discussions about morals in the streaming world.
The streaming community backed Kyedae for standing up, recognizing her history of promoting inclusivity and avoiding questionable sponsors. In a space where clout often trumps conscience, her principled approach stands out.
Meanwhile, xQc’s defense of Kick struck some as self-serving given his own fat contract. After all you should not bite the hand that feeds you.
It remains unclear whether the management at Kick.com was actually trying to exploit Kyedae’s vulnerable situation by offering her one last big paycheck for her family before she passes. However, the evidence is indicating that the streaming platform has at least thought about extending a generous but twisted offer.
