Kick has proven it’s here to stay, and some of its top streamers have viewership that rivals Twitch. Here were the most popular Kick personalities in 2024.
Kick has long been seen as the black sheep of the streaming world, known for its controversial streamers and lack of strict guidelines. This has led a lot of content creators to shun the platform for being toxic, leading to videos about the “worst streamers of all time” and inspiring popular influencers like Imane “Pokimane” Anys to call out Kick for its depravity and refuse to ever stream there. Even admitted groomer Herschel “Dr Disrespect” Beahm said he’d retire before signing with Kick.
Still, Kick has clearly appealed to a lot of streamers and their fanbases. Here are the top five streamers on Kick based on viewership and following.
Here are the five biggest Kick streamers based on their top subscriber count and general popularity.
Columbian streamer Luis “WestCol” Villa has over 1.6 million followers on Kick, which is even more than he had on Twitch. This has pushed him past notorious Andrew Tate fan Adin Ross’ follower count, bringing him a lot of attention in North America. But even before that, WestCol was massively popular with Spanish-speaking audiences, hosting events like Stream Fighters that link streamers with mainstream entertainment. In the last 30 days, WestCol had been watched a staggering 21.7 million hours.
Adin Ross is one of the first big Twitch streamers to switch to Kick, which makes sense since he owns equity in the company. It’s become a much better home for Adin Ross’ content, who has shown adult content to young fans, spread podcaster Andrew Tate’s rhetoric, and interviewed former president Donald Trump. According to Stream Charts, he currently has nearly 1.47 million followers and was watched for nearly 7 million hours in the past 30 days.
Felix “xQc” Lengyel made headlines when he signed a $100 million deal with Kick back in 2023. Since then, the Juicer has been streaming on both Twitch and Kick, known for his hard-to-understand yet controversial opinions, skilled gaming, and personal life drama. He had peak viewership of 25,000 on Kick the last 30 days, which doesn’t really compare to his viewership on Twitch.
Saudi Arabia-based SXB is known for playing popular video games like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty. His Arabic-language streams earned him 3.5 million hours watched in the last 30 days and amounted to nearly 880,000 followers. One of his most popular streams of 2024 was broadcasting the Kings World Cup. He used the name shongxbong while streaming on Twitch.
Tuğkan “Elraenn” Gönültaş is one of the biggest streamers in Turkey. The 39-year-old vlogger and gamer is known for trolling other streamers and posting thirst traps on Instagram. He has 672,000 followers on Kick but he’s much larger on Twitch, where he has 4.7 million followers. Despite this, Elraenn has officially switched to Kick and no longer broadcasts on Twitch.
