I wouldn't be surprised if he took some deal like that. The streams he's made for the last couple years have been pretty much only sucking off trump. Just showing angry leftists, and talking about how Trump is going to save America, and "Trump is totally going to own the libs guyz". I remember around the time Trump got elected last year that was literally all his streams were. Then of course Charlie Kirk gets shot, he does the weird cringe stream overall just saying the same thing about how Trump is totally saving America, but then crying (if you believe he wasn't faking that), and saying that being on his death bed dying with cancer didn't lead him to Christianity, but seeing Charlie Kirk get show now turned him into a christian. Call me cynical but there is something off about that.
I think he really needed money, or at least thought he did because of his sickness, and someone came to him and told him if you promote the propaganda we want you to promote we will cut you a fat check.
