Dr Disrespect is the latest controversial figure to join a new controversial streaming platform, as he signs up to produce exclusive premium content.

If you've been in any way aware of the live streaming world over the past half decade then you'll be more than acquainted with Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm.

Shortly after signing a significant multi-year exclusive deal with Twitch in 2020, he mysteriously received a lifetime ban from the platform, with no reason given by either side.

However, in June 2024 former Twitch employee Cody Conners claimed that the streamer's ban was the result of "sexting a minor", which Dr Disrespect confirmed in a statement on Twitter in the following days.

Following a 14-minute rant calling out the ex-employee, he has since denied the allegations, and has also had his application for re-monetization denied by YouTube.

However, the streamer has now ditched YouTube in favor of controversial platform 'Rumble', signing on to stream and produce exclusive content to Rumble Premium subscribers.

In addition to this, Rumble has announced: "Dr Disrespect will also lead Rumble Gaming, acting as an advisor and helping to build the Rumble Gaming community."

His first stream on the platform will be on December 2, 2024, and Beahm has announced that he's "laser-focused on expanding into two categories: gaming and crypto."

Starting in 2013, Rumble remains a controversial platform due to its strong links to far-right and alt-right online movements. Its cloud services host right-wing social media platform 'Truth Social', which President-elect Donald Trump is famous for using following his ban from Twitter.

The platform also boasts a number of high-profile right wing figures, including the aforementioned Trump, alongside Robert F. Kennedy, Tim Pool, Russell Brand, and many more.

It has also been hinted that Dr Disrespect's first stream on Rumble will include a $25,000 giveaway for the viewers, as his final stream on YouTube ended with the new platform's green colors after Beahm's promise of the money.

The acquisition has been more than successful for Rumble too, as the streaming platform's market value has grown by roughly 13%, as reported by Bloomberg, gaining $233 million since Dr Disrespect jumped ship.

Twitch, YouTube, and Kick have remained the kings of the live streaming space for a significant amount of time now, but the popularity of additions to Rumble could make it a major player in the space.

It's likely that this is only the beginning of major additions to the site too, as big streamers like Adin Ross and Fousey have been on the receiving end of bans from most major platforms, and thus might be enticed to join Dr Disrespect on Rumble.
