The controversial YouTuber Yousef “Fousey” Saleh Erakat has been banned from Kick once again, and fans wonder whether the ban is permanent this time.

Yousef “Fousey” Saleh Erakat is a highly followed YouTuber who has been in the news for all the wrong things recently. Fousey has feuded with fellow streamer Adin Ross, organized a concert with false claims about Drake appearing, and faced controversies on streaming platforms. His most recent incident involved him throwing punches at his manager and subsequently getting banned from Kick. The YouTuber then shared an emotional clip of him crying and claiming he had a manic episode. Fousey then talked on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 stream claiming he’ll retire if he doesn’t fix his behavior.

On November 3, 2024, Kick banned Fousey again and fans wonder whether the ban is permanent and if the streamer will retire.

Fousey banned 20 minutes into his 30-day marathon stream

The streamer Fousey has been banned from Kick for a second time during his marathon stream due to his volatile behavior.

A clip was shared on the social platform X in which Fousey can be seen and heard saying “If they fu*k up, it makes me go bipolar.” The streamer then claims that he’ll shoot himself tonight. The X post claims this is the reason why Fousey was banned from Kick.

Fousey Kick ban

After Fousey was banned, many unverified claims began appearing that this is the end for the streamer on Kick. While this isn’t the first time he’s been banned from Kick, this sort of behavior is against the rules.

Kick unbanned the streamer after his fight with his manager on stream and allegedly also returned his exclusive contract. However, regularly breaking rules can have severe and permanent consequences. Furthermore, it looks like Fousey has learned nothing from his past punishment.

Is Fousey banned permanently?

Kick owner Edward Craven stated that Fousey is permanently banned from the platform.

In a video on X, a streamer claimed to have contacted the owner of Kick to ask about Fousey’s ban. The streamer stated he texted Eddie and the Kick owner replied that Fousey would be banned permanently from Kick.

This result isn’t surprising as Fousey was dealing with mental illnesses and was very unpredictable while streaming. The streamer’s past and repeated offenses were very likely to lead to his ban regardless of the timing. Kick has also been in the news for allowing questionable content, so the platform might be trying to avoid negative press.
