Fousey responds after swatting incident on Kick stream: ‘I'm not a criminal’

After being swatted live on Kick, Fousey reassured fans, emphasizing he's not a criminal and shared new music updates.

On December 1, 2024, popular content creator Yousef "Fousey" was swatted during a live stream on Kick. The incident occurred at the 3-hour-51-minute mark of his Just Chatting broadcast, when Fousey noticed a police vehicle outside his location. Initially shocked, he soon realized that he was the target of a swatting prank—a dangerous hoax where emergency services are falsely called to a streamer's location.

In the live stream, Fousey reacted to the officers' presence, exclaiming, "That's the f**king police, man!" He expressed his frustration with the pranksters, saying, "Y'all are the worst!" His friend, who was with him during the stream, also voiced her anger, criticizing those behind the hoax for causing unnecessary distress.

Later, a short video surfaced on social media, in which Fousey, handcuffed at the time, addressed his followers. He reassured his fans, stating, “Yo, what's up? I'm handcuffed right now, but you can’t stop G7. God has a bigger plan for us.” While in handcuffs, he humorously declared, “I’m not a criminal,” before adding that he was a rapper with an album releasing soon.

This wasn’t the first time Fousey has been swatted. Earlier this year, on July 10, he was also confronted by police during a live stream from a parking lot. On both occasions, Fousey remained calm, cooperating with the officers and explaining that he was the victim of a prank call.

The incident has sparked renewed discussions in the online community about the dangers of swatting. Fans and fellow streamers have called for stronger measures to prevent such harmful pranks, emphasizing their potential risks.
