Kick streamer Aaron Travis, better known as Ac7ionMan, has issued an apology after getting banned from the platform due to his comments about Islam and Gaza. The controversial media personality had recently gone on a rant against that particular religion, insulting Muslims while also talking about the ongoing conflict in Palestine and drinking during an IRL stream with Ice Poseidon.
A day after clips from the rant went viral, Ac7ionMan got banned from Kick after much backlash. While his channel has been suspended, he has continued appearing on Ice Poseidon's stream, where he directly addressed the ban and asked viewers for forgiveness while prefacing it with how this would be the last time he talks about it on stream:
"I just wanted to talk about it one more time. Because after this, I am just done with it man, done talking about it."
While sitting in bed, Aaron told his viewers that he had apologized to Kick staff and was now seeking forgiveness from viewers for the rant. The streamer further stated that he was not a hateful person and had made a mistake:
