Viral claims linking streamer Cheesur to El Mencho killing remain unverified amid online speculation

Viral social media posts have sparked widespread speculation suggesting that Kick streamer Cheesur was involved in the killing of Mexican cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho. The claims allege that the streamer provided intelligence that led to a military raid in Jalisco on February 22, 2026.

According to circulating posts on X, Cheesur—reportedly associated with Adin Ross’s online circle—may have received a $15 million reward for the alleged information. Some posts also claim that he has faced threats following the incident, raising concerns among users about potential retaliation.

However, while El Mencho’s death during a military operation has been widely reported, there is no confirmed evidence linking Cheesur to the raid. Authorities and major news outlets have not verified the streamer’s involvement or any reward payout.

The claims have triggered strong reactions online, with many users questioning their credibility and highlighting the dangers of mixing internet personalities with real-world criminal activity. Concerns about safety and misinformation have also been widely discussed.

At present, Cheesur’s alleged connection to the operation remains unproven, and the viral narrative continues to circulate without official confirmation.
