Rapper Soulja Boy has joined the streaming platform Kick, claiming that he is the new face of the service. The transition comes after the 34-year-old artist's behavior on TikTok became a subject of widespread reporting in late 2025, including a chaotic livestream confrontation that escalated from a friendly token challenge into a series of aggressive threats against other content creators.

Why it matters

Soulja Boy's career has long been defined by his role as an internet personality and entrepreneur, beginning with his mid-2000s breakout hit "Crank That (Soulja Boy)". His move to Kick represents a continuation of his efforts to maintain a central role in the digital content landscape, despite recent legal and personal controversies that have raised questions about the stability of the artist.

The details

During a multi-user TikTok livestream involving creators ExoticTV Ra, MCL, and Mello Rell, Soulja Boy reacted with rage after losing an in-game token challenge. The incident, which was captured live and later reported by TMZ, saw the rapper shift from playful competition to a profanity-laced tirade, threatening to "find [ExoticTV Ra] offline" and "shoot you in the face". Despite the severity of the threats, the other creators reportedly laughed at the outburst, which further fueled Soulja Boy's frustration.

• In November 2025, Soulja Boy was involved in the chaotic TikTok livestream confrontation.
• Earlier in 2025, a jury ordered Soulja Boy to pay more than $4 million in damages in a civil case involving assault and emotional distress.
• In January 2020, Soulja Boy expanded his digital presence by joining the Kick streaming platform.
