Kick streamer Rangesh "N3on" had an unpleasant experience with his camera crew after they seemingly abandoned him just five days into his Kick subathon, which was meant to last the entire month of October 2024. The streamer had supposedly paid the crew $500,000 to take care of the filming process for the entire duration of the subathon.
A clip showcases N3on walking into a room and finding the crew packing up their equipment and preparing to leave. The streamer can then be heard apologizing for comments he may have made on-camera, which could have offended the camera crew:
"I don't know what the cause of this is. If it's because I was saying the sh** behind the camera, I would have said that out of frustration."
After the crew refused to budge, the now annoyed streamer cussed them and said:
"You know, f**k all of you then. I don't give a f**k. What am I going to sit here and beg like a f**king dog? F**k you, f** you, f**k you."
N3on seeks help from Adin Ross after camera crew walks out on him during Kick livestream
The camera crew hired by N3on could also be heard talking negatively about the content creator and his viewers during the livestream, supposedly eight hours prior to their decision to leave. One of the crew members could be heard calling the chat "ruthless" while another called them "15-year-old kids".
A cameraperson also alleged that he was making use of bots for his livestreams, and mentioned that the view count of the broadcast was "exactly the same".
"Honestly, it's like, you know, fifteen year old kids sitting at home just, you know, [incomprehensible]. Plus, supposedly all these little emojis you see, they're all bots. The view count is exactly the same."
Soon after the camera crew ditched N3on, he could be seen getting onto a call with fellow Kick streamer Adin Ross, who offered some help. With the streamer broadcasting their conversation, Ross could be heard saying:
"Why are you hitting me up asking for a loan, bro? I can't pay money for that sh**, bro. You need a new camera crew?"
N3on responded in the affirmative, which prompted Ross to ask the price for which he could acquire a new one. He revealed the money he had supposedly paid for his previous crew, which was a total payment of $1 million, with half of it ($500,000) being paid upfront. Adin Ross then offered to do some "digging" to help him out.
This is not the first time the streamer has faced allegations of view-botting his streams, that is, making use of automated bots to artificially inflate his viewership count. In fact, a Kick staff member, who goes by Santamaria online, had accused N3on of botting his broadcasts and used his viewership statistics as "proof".
