The other brother walked into the kitchen after the incident, quickly trying to figure out what was happening.
“Your brother came at me man,” the unknown guy said. “He hit my f**king sister.”
Right after the incident, the Island Boys’ stream ended and Kick removed the account from the website. As of writing, the brothers are banned from the platform for an unknown amount of time.
This comes just weeks after Kick launched an IRL category on the site to help separate the streams from the Just Chatting category. It also gives Kick staff the ability to better moderate“problematic situations.”
