The streamer announced the news via societal media and Rumble confirmed it successful a property release, stating that the streamer will supply a operation of free and paid contented for the level arsenic good arsenic “acting arsenic an advisor and helping to build the Rumble Gaming community.”

The move to Rumble is the latest improvement successful the Dr Disrespect streaming saga that began 4 years ago. In 2020, Dr Disrespect, whose existent sanction is Herschel “Guy” Beahm, was banned from Twitch pinch small explanation specified months aft signing a multi-million dollar exclusivity deal. Earlier this year, The Verge and different outlets collapsed the news that the logic for his prohibition was owed to inappropriate conversations Beahm had pinch a minor.
