With its focus on prioritizing free speech, many streamers are flocking en masse to a streaming platform witnessing a significant surge in popularity, Rumble. Its decentralized approach to content sharing with its ability to stream various types of content, including live video broadcasts & recorded videos. The wide range of tools that the platform offers to support streamers and content creators has also attracted creators and users who are seeking alternative platforms that prioritize unrestricted expression.

This Toronto-based streaming platform has been praised by many for its open and welcoming environment. In a bid to set itself apart from other traditional streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch, Rumble offers more options for streamers and creators to earn revenue.
This includes advertising, licensing deals, and a tipping system. With several high-profile signings over the past couple of months, this list explores the five most popular streamers who are going to or have already started streaming on Rumble.
LeafyIsHere, Destiny, and other most popular streamers on Rumble
1) LeafyIsHere
Calvin "LeafyIsHere" is a former American comedian and YouTuber who carved out an audience for himself thanks to his controversial behavior as well as the sheer number of them he found himself in. After barely finding any success with his gameplay commentaries, Calvin decided to criticize smaller creators for their appearance, which ultimately made him famous.
He eventually decided to punch up and started criticizing iDubbbz, Keemstar, and Pokimane, leading to a series of blown-out dramas that gripped the entire streaming community.
Due to his contentious nature, Leafy found all of his YouTube channels banned starting in August 2020. This prompted Leafy to switch to Rumble, where he currently has 13.5K followers.
2) Destiny
In the early stages of his career as a streamer, Steven "Destiny" gained recognition for his exceptional skills in Starcraft II before broadening his content to encompass discussions surrounding politics, philosophy, and societal matters. Known for his ability to engage in spirited debates, often expressing controversial views, Steven has frequently caused a stir within the community thanks to his perspective on feminism, transfolk, and race.
Steven's outspoken "edgy" personality and contentious opinions ultimately got him perma-banned from Twitch. This forced the 34-year-old to announce his move to both KICK and Rumble on the same stream in March 2023. Destiny currently has 34K followers on the former compared to just over 17.7K followers on the latter.
3) IShowSpeed
On May 16, 2023, popular American content creators and streamers IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat broke the internet when they announced the arrival of their own show that would stream exclusively on Rumble.
Speed is arguably the biggest streamer on YouTuber and the Breakout Streamer of the Year at this year's YouTube Streamy Awards. His eccentric behavior has left him perma-banned from Twitch. This has prevented Speed and Kai from doing live streams together.
After quite a successful collaboration on a song that has earned over 6.2 million views in three weeks, these two young streaming juggernauts have decided to try out Rumble. The Kai N Speed Show premiers on May 26, 2023, but the hype has already attracted 10K followers to Speed's Rumble handle.
4) Kai Cenat
As aforementioned, Kai and Speed's announcement created a lot of headlines within the live-streaming community and industry. Following several vocal tiffs between the New York native and the purple platform over unsolicited bans and suspensions, Kai dared Twitch to ban him following his return to the streaming platform on April 28, 2023.
The challenge came after Kai streamed Dogs, the music collab between Speed and him. Viewers speculated this would lead to a potential suspension as he was airing the perma-banned Ohio native. Kai and Cenat share a lot of similarities when it comes to their personalities and the type of content that they create.
Kai seems to have grown tired of walking on eggshells when it comes to collaborating with Speed on Twitch. Kai currently has 14.9K followers on Rumble, which we can expect to rise before the Kai N Speed Show airs later this week.
5) Sneako
Nicolas Kenn De Ballinthazy, better known as Sneako, first made waves as a content creator on YouTube before switching to Rumble in the latter half of 2022. Sneako has been quite a controversial figure within the community over the years.
His close associations with polarizing figures such as Andrew Tate, Ye, Nick Fuentes, and the hosts of the Fresh&Fit Podcast have not helped his case. Nicolas had amassed just under a million subs on his YouTube channel when he decided to register another YouTube channel.
There he would share his controversial thoughts on "woke" subjects and feminism. This ultimately led to him being banned from YouTube after nine years in October 2022. Sneako announced his move to Rumble shortly after. He was able to amass 100K followers within a month and currently has over 231k followers.
