Notorious live streamers Heelmike and Zherka got banned on Kick for allegedly soliciting a minor, a 16-year-old girl. As per Jake Lucky's sources, the ban is permanent and the decision will be irreversible.
Heelmike and Zherka have been co-hosting streams from Miami since late May, and their most recent broadcast has stirred confusion within the community. Both streamers were hanging out with girls, and as viewers speculated, one of them allegedly was underage. After the ban, both streamers released statements trying to defend themselves: according to their version, they were set up by their mutual "trusted worker," and the 16-year-old girl provided a fake ID, concealing her real age.

However, it seems that the streamers' explanations will go unnoticed. Both channels remain banned.
Before the ban, Heelmike consistently streamed throughout the entirety of 2024, while Zherka took a break from streaming in the spring and returned in mid-May. At the end of the last month of spring, Heelmike ranked 28th among all streamers on the platform by watch time and 13th among English-speaking content creators. At the time of the ban, Zherka's channel had 62,000 followers, while Heelmike was nearing the 100,000 follower milestone.
