However, on May 16h, bothKai Cenat and IShowSpeed announced that they would be starting a show together, exclusively streaming on the platform Rumble. The premiere of their first exclusive livestream show, aptly named “The Kai ‘N Speed Show,” is scheduled for May 26. The news of the duo joining Rumble came as a surprise to many, including Adin Ross, who had been expecting them to join Kick. Adin claimed that Kick had offered Kai and IShowSpeed $40 million each, but they declined. He further stated that he was unaware of what Rumble had offered them.
Twitchstreamer Kai promptly responded to Adin’s claims and denied turning down Kick’s offer. He strongly stated, “I did not turn it down. That’s not an actual leak, that’s not, that’s cap. On my soul, that is cap.” Kai expressed confusion about Adin’s decision to disclose this information publicly and questioned why he would bring it up. Kai also mentioned that he would address the matter privately with Adin off-stream, as he found the situation uncomfortable. While it is unclear what prompted Adin to make such a statement, it is important to highlight that IShowSpeed is yet to respond.
The recent success of Rumble in signing two highly accomplished content creators from their respective platforms is undoubtedly a positive development for the platform. These acquisitions are expected to contribute to an expanded user base, enabling Rumble to attract a more diverse audience. Consequently, it will be intriguing to observe Kick’s reaction to this development, asKick too is actively seeking top-tier content creatorsto bolster the platform’s competitiveness against the leading streaming platform Twitch.
