One of Kick's early adopters,
Ac7ionMan (the streamer behind the popular
"I'mma put my cat on the mic" clip) was involved in a really weird drama with Tyler "Ninja" Blevins's brother, Jonathan, back in April.
The gist is:
- Ac7ionMan tweets about how great Kick's revenue-sharing is compared to Twitch, tweet gets pretty big (5M views).
- Ninja subtweets Ac7ionMan by saying the Kick money will dry up in a couple months. Ac7ionMan says this upset him.
- Note that prior to this, Ac7ionMan was friends with Ninja's brother Jonathan and was on good terms with Ninja himself.
- Completely out of the blue, Ninja's brother Jonathan goes on Ninja's stream and publicly accuses Ac7ionMan of swatting himself and doxes Ac7ionMan's town in front of ~10K live viewers.
- Ac7ionMan goes live to essentially go "WTF DUDE" and stuff, Ninja goes offline.
- Jonathan texts Ac7ionMan to say he didn't mean to do all that (????????) before manually un-tagging himself from Ac7ionMan's callout tweet.
- Apparently behind-the-scenes legal action is now occurring.
To my knowledge, this situation was never followed up on or clarified by anybody involved, so your guess as to wtf happened here is as good as mine, lmao.
