On November 6, 2023, popular internet personality Yousef "Fousey" surprised the online community by making an appearance on Adin Ross' Kick livestream. The 33-year-old has been on a hiatus since August 23, 2023, when he had a manic episode in which he believed that his life was in danger. He eventually swatted himself and got into a heated argument with police officers.
Fousey's subathon concluded prematurely after cops detained him. Four days later, on August 27, 2023, the content creator revealed that he had been committed to a mental institution. Sharing details about his situation, the vlogger said:
"Can't leave the hospital until I get clearance from the police. So I've been here for four days now. They drug me up every day. Anytime I say something wrong, they'll lock me. They put a needle this big into my arm."
Yousef did not make a public appearance following this update. However, Adin Ross had been in contact with the streamer. During a broadcast on October 6, 2023, the Kick ambassador claimed that Fousey planned to return to streaming:
