Twitch streaming star Mizkif has called Kick a “dying platform” after meeting and being “ignored” by Adin Ross in a brief encounter.
In a stream on April 12,Mizkiflashed out at Kick, claimingthe up-and-coming streaming platformis “dying” after having an awkward moment withAdin Ross.
The 29-year-old was gambling on blackjack with several other streamersduring his broadcastwhen Kick’s most-followed creator Adin Ross entered the room.
“Yo Adin,” Mizkif greeted the Kick star, who didn’t exactly give the time of day back, quickly responding with: “What’s up bro?”
In the moment,xQc, who was also sitting at the blackjack table made light of the situation, mocking Mizkif and encouraging Adin Ross to “ignore him” more. However,later in the stream, Mizkif addressed what occurred, where he poked a bit of fun, claiming Kick is a “dying platform.”
“Listen we all know Kick is a dying platform. Rumble is better,” he said.
Most notably, xQc reportedlysigned a deal worth up to $100 million to broadcast Kick, while also still being able to stream on Twitch whenever he pleases.
Not only that, but other top stars such asNICKMERCS,Amouranth, and, of course,Adin Rosshave all dedicated themselves to the platform.
Kick’s rivalry with Twitch is only getting bigger. Meanwhile, according to co-founder Bijan Tehrani, the streaming platform hasalready turned down a staggering $1 billion buyout offerdespite only launching just over a year ago.
