Kick streamer Yousef Saleh Erakat, better known as Fousey, has been banned from the platform following an October 30, 2024, incident.
During his Australia-based IRL stream, he allegedly attacked his manager and used homophobic slurs, including the 'F-word.' After the incident, Fousey’s Kick channel went offline.

This ban comes shortly after Fousey signed an exclusive deal with Kick, limiting his options to switch platforms. Addressing his viewers, Fousey remarked, “Not even 48 hours into my 24/7 30 days, and Kick bans me... I can't go to Twitch to continue.”
Fousey suggested the ban was not solely due to the physical altercation. "I don’t think they banned me because of the punch... if we don't ban him and keep him quiet right now, he's gonna expose all of us,” he hinted, noting that he expects Kick to clarify the ban’s duration.
Before his suspension, Fousey had anticipated a possible ban and urged fans to follow him on Twitch. Acknowledging his actions, he said, “I did something... I shouldn't have. I did. We’re all human.”
Fousey highlighted the unique scrutiny he faces as a 24/7 live streamer, expressing frustration and vulnerability in the public eye. Although he considered Twitch as a backup, contractual obligations prevent him from making the switch.
