A streamer has been banned from Kick after he posted a video where he appeared to dine and dash, leaving the bill for an alleged homeless woman to pay.

Earlier this week, the streamer Dumbdumbjeez shared a video where he's having dinner with a woman named Mabel, who he claimed is homeless. He receives the $76 bill and tells Mabel he has to get his wallet out of his car, so he leaves the restaurant.

The clip went viral, and Kick co-founder Bijan Teharani got a hold of it, telling followers on X that Dumbdumbjeez took advantage of a $50,000 contest and would get banned as a result.

"This pathetic and now banned streamer did this while trying to win a contest for $50k. I'm disappointed this happened on Kick and we've got $50k for this lady if anyone can connect us," Teharani tweeted.

However, Dumbdumbjeez hopped on his own X page and claimed the woman was in on the whole prank as he had told her beforehand what would happen. The contest wanted people to take a stranger on a date, and Dumbdumbjeez wanted to rig it instead, so he got Mabel to participate in his ruse.

"Now that I'm already disqualified, I'm banned cause n***as took it out of context and took it to the extent. I fucking rigged that shit bro," said Dumbdumbjeez. "Before streaming, I talked to the female. I talked to the lady, which is Mabel, cause as you could see when I sparked my stream I went right towards Mabel bro. Like I seen her before I got dropped off before I sparked my stream."

He continued, "I literally had the conversation about her whatwe gonna do you feel me?I gave her the money already beforehand to let her know what we was gonna do. That's why I said I was going to leave her and come back."

Dumbdumbjeez claimed he's a content creator and just thought of a marketing idea that he felt would bring in viewers. He said he fooled everybody, and it worked, but he went out in a "bad way."
