Kick streamer Yousef "Fousey" has once again been banned on Kick. This comes after he was seen attacking his manager during his IRL Australia stream on October 30, 2024. In addition, he was heard making homophobic slurs, including calling his manager the 'F-word.' Following this controversy, the streamer's Kick channel has gone offline.

Fousey recently signed an exclusive deal with Kick. Due to the ban and his contract situation, he revealed that he cannot go to Twitch. Speaking about the drama, he said:

"Not even 48 hours into my 24/7 30 days, and Kick bans me. Out of respect for my contract with them, I can't go to Twitch to continue."

He then made a cryptic statement about the platform, fearing he would "expose" them. Fousey said:

"I don't think they banned me because of the punch. People in the industry knows that if we don't ban him and keep him quiet right now, he's gonna expose all of us."

He also revealed that he doesn't know how long the suspension will last:

"I need to find out Eddie, how long this ban is going to be. If you guys love me like you say you do, I expect an email explaining why I got banned and how long the length is."

Fousey predicted he would get banned on Kick after assaulting his ex-manager on the livestream

Interestingly, just hours before his ban, Fousey posted a video where he predicted the possibility of his account being suspended. Following the controversy involving his manager, he shared the video with a caption reading:

"IN CASE I GET BANNED TODAY ON KICK. FOLLOW MY TWITCH, I’LL BE LIVE 24/7 THE SECOND I’M BANNED."

In the video, he fired back at his critics, stating that, as a live streamer, his life is constantly under scrutiny:

"I did something stream that I shouldn't have. I did. We're all human, you guys f**k up too. The only difference is, my life is live 24/7."

In the video, he mentioned considering a switch to Twitch to continue his 30-day streaming event if Kick banned him. Later, as mentioned above, he explained that his contract prevented him from making the move.


This isn’t the first time Fousey has faced criticism for using violence on stream. Last year, during a stream with fellow Kick streamer Rangesh "N3on," he got into a verbal spat that escalated to him eventually slapping N3on.
