5 controversial streamers who are permanently banned on Kick

Stake.com-backed live streaming platform Kick has become one of the major players in the streaming scene. Having launched in late 2022, it has since managed to acquire some of the biggest names in the content creation industry. Among those who have signed include the likes of Adin Ross, Felix "xQc," Rangesh "N3on," Hikaru "GMHikaru" and more.

Despite the host of popular streamers, the website has also garnered a reputation for being the breeding ground for several controversial personalities. This is mostly due to Kick's lenient moderation. However, there remain a few streamers who have gotten themselves permanently banned. This article will list five such streamers who have faced this penalty.

Five streamers who are permanently suspended from Kick

1) Heelmike

The first name on the list is Michael "Heelmike" who was recently banned by Kick. The streamer took to his official X account to share a screenshot of the notification he received from the platform. According to the notice, he was banned due to "Underage Endangerment." At the time of writing, he remains banned.

This was the second ban this year, as previously, he was suspended (temporarily) after a woman had flashed her privates in one of his streams. On July 13, he was also banned on Twitch. The exact reason behind his suspension is unknown, but it's likely due to violation of the platform's Terms of Service.

2) Jon Zherka

Another streamer who faced the same consequences as Heelmike was Jon Zherka. The 30-year-old controversial streamer was also permanently banned for the same reason Heelmike received his penalty. Both appeared to violate the platform's ToS in the same stream.

Online journalist Jake Lucky (@JakeSucky) later confirmed that both Jon and Heelmike have been permanently banned from the platform. Zherka has since come out to defend himself, stating that the underaged girl in question had apparently shown them a fake ID.

3) Johnny Somali

Johnny Somali's name is a familiar one within the Kick streaming circle. The creator has garnered a notorious reputation for displaying toxic behavior. For instance, back in April, Johnny was arrested for sticking photos of Adin Ross and Jeffrey Epstein at the Western Wall (a religious site for the Jewish community).

This was seen as a step too far for the streaming platform. While he has previously faced arrests (particularly in Japan), Kick had never issued him a permanent suspension. However, his actions in Israel were enough to permanently remove his channel. The official reason behind the ban was "Hate Speech."

4) Riotlol

The second-to-last name on the list is a streamer known as Riotlol. At the time of writing, he has been banned, and his channel is no longer available on Kick. He was one of the most controversial streamers due to his actions, which mostly involved concerning behavior towards a younger audience.

The streamer faced backlash after being filmed saying inappropriate things to underage women. This behavior was called out by a YouTuber named SomethingAboutChickens. The video received a lot of praise, and shortly after, the streamer was banned.

5) Biancita

The last name on the list is Biancita. She was permanently banned from Kick in April 2024 for reasons similar to Riotlol. She had interacted with a seemingly underage individual on Ome.tv (a live interacting website like Omegle).

During the conversation, she suggestively asked if she could "pre-book" them, which was a sexual innuendo indicating she would develop a relationship once the individual was officially an adult. This violated the platform's Terms of Service, leading to her suspension.
