Chris Pavlovski, CEO of the streaming platform Rumble, has publicly dismissed rumors of a massive $30 million contract with controversial streamer N3on. The rumors, which surfaced in November 2024, suggested N3on, a Kick streamer boasting over 375,000 followers, was poised to sign an exclusive two-year deal with Rumble. However, Pavlovski set the record straight with a succinct response on November 21, tweeting: “Fake news.”
The denial comes at a pivotal time in the streaming landscape, as notable figures like Adin Ross and Dr Disrespect appear to be exploring new platforms. Adin Ross, one of Kick’s most prominent creators, has sparked uncertainty about his future with the platform. Recently, he hinted at dissatisfaction during live streams, stating he’s unsure of “when or where” he’ll continue broadcasting. Tensions escalated when Ross openly criticized Kick’s CEO, Eddie Craven, threatening to reveal damaging details about the executive.
Adding to the intrigue, Ross was conspicuously absent from promotional materials for Kick’s ‘Kick Talk’ Episode 20, which featured major personalities like Amouranth, xQc, and GMHikaru. The omission further fueled speculation that Ross’s time with the platform might be nearing an end.
Meanwhile, Dr Disrespect, another major figure in the streaming world, is also in flux. After his permanent Twitch ban and YouTube demonetization, the streamer is reportedly searching for a new platform to host his high-profile content.
Interestingly, Pavlovski’s dismissal of the N3on rumor coincided with a cryptic teaser about Rumble’s plans. He hinted at a “big creator incoming,” prompting widespread speculation about who the new addition to the platform could be. With both Adin Ross and Dr Disrespect in the midst of career transitions, fans are wondering if either could be Rumble’s next major signing.
As Rumble teases its “new era” in broadcasting, the platform is keeping details under wraps, leaving fans eagerly awaiting announcements. Whether it’s Ross, Dr Disrespect, or another major name, Pavlovski’s statements have sparked heightened interest in Rumble’s future.
The evolving dynamics of the streaming world continue to captivate audiences, and Rumble’s next moves could significantly impact the competition among platforms.
