Controversial Kick streamer Yousef "Fousey" has been banned again. The streamer faced a suspension earlier in November after making some comments hinting at self-harm. He has recently exhibited what many label as concerning behavior, including crashing out in front of the camera. Today (November 14, 2024), the streamer has been handed a second ban.
While the exact reason behind the suspension is not known, Fousey went live on X.com, where he revealed that he was banned due to an apparent doxxing incident. He also alleged that it was an accidental slip-up. The streamer said:
"They banned me, even though they didn't want to. They're like, 'F**k, he accidentally doxxed someone. We have to (ban him).' Well, then I have to go live on X because I have kids too and they gotta eat."
The streamer also addressed a message to Kick, requesting for a personal partner to moderate his channel. He wrote:
"I’M ADDICTED TO GOING LIVE AND I’M ITCHING AT BEING BANNED ON @KickStreaming BABE PLEASE. JUST GIVE ME A PERSONAL PARTNER TO MODERATE ME AND I WILL LEARN THE RULES. I NEED TO STREAM. I LOSE G7 ENERGY EVERY SECOND I’M BANNED. IT MIGHT BE SO LONG BY THE TIME I CAN STREAM AGAIN I’M G1. GAME OVER."
Did Fousey rebrand himself?
Kick streamer Fousey appears to have recently rebranded himself, changing most of his social media handles and streaming names to YSEG7 or simply YSE. This shift follows his decision to pursue a career in rapping. YSE is an abbreviation of his full name, Yousef Saleh Erakat.
The streamer recently uploaded a couple of music tracks to his YouTube, announcing a new chapter in his career. He released a diss track aimed at fellow streamer Rangesh "N3on," titled IGD, along with another song titled Kanye. The videos have garnered 205K views and 12K views, respectively.
Fousey has exhibited some concerning behavior on stream recently. He received his first ban on Kick on November 3, 2024. During one of his streams, he appeared extremely distressed and looked directly into the camera, claiming he would shoot himself live on stream. This self-harm comment violated Kick’s community guidelines, resulting in a temporary ban from the platform.
