Kick streamers Nick White and Ice Poseidon have been fired from a delivery app after their broadcast showed them harassing customers, a move that swiftly derailed their new streaming meta. The duo's antics included doxxing a customer and making inappropriate demands for tips.
In recent years, streaming trends have often sparked controversy within the community, from Twitch's hot tub streams to Pokémon Go sessions. Ice Poseidon and Nick White attempted to tap into a new trend in late July by delivering food via a popular app. However, their venture quickly went awry.
In a viral clip posted on X, Nick White picked up an order at a restaurant and inadvertently exposed the customer's name and phone number by showing the receipt on stream. The situation worsened when they arrived at the customer's house, and Nick dropped the order, causing it to spill. Adding insult to injury, Ice Poseidon called the customer to demand a $10 tip, only to be hung up on.
Ice Poseidon's quest for tips took a darker turn when he pretended to have cancer. After a customer explained over the phone that he couldn't come downstairs due to illness, Ice Poseidon claimed he had cancer to guilt the customer into tipping him more. "I have cancer. I left the food here, it’s on the table. But I have cancer and you have the flu and you can’t walk downstairs and I came across town for you. I require a $7 more tip," he demanded.
The delivery app soon deactivated Ice Poseidon's account due to harassment. When Ice called the company, an employee informed him, "Your account is currently inactive. Your account was deactivated due to harassment." Ice Poseidon responded by threatening legal action for "wrongful termination," but was promptly hung up on.
The food delivery meta seems unlikely to catch on, given the potential risks such as doxxing customers. Despite the incident, Kick has not banned either Ice Poseidon or Nick White. Nick White is still planning his own $100K Hunger Games-style competition later this summer.
The controversy highlights the potential dangers of turning real-world interactions into content, especially when privacy and respect for others are disregarded.
