A Kick streamer is sparking outrage after driving on the sidewalk during a broadcast, leaving viewers baffled that he still isn’t banned from the platform.
‘Basedvladprophet’is a streamer on Kick with over 350 followers on the website who’s now at the center of controversy following aJune 21 broadcast.
In his stream, Vlad was driving a car with some friends when he said “f*ck it” and drove up onto a public sidewalk in the middle of a town.
He continued to drive on the sidewalk as he pulled up to an intersection, joking that he was “just a pedestrian” and waving at a bus full of passengers as his buddies laughed in the background.

The stream is picking up steam across social media as viewers slam both Vlad and Kick for not banning the broadcaster due to his dangerous driving.
