Currently, RiceGum already has a profile on Kick, though it is unverified and lacks a subscriber button. However, these omissions have historically preceded major signings on the platform. Furthermore, his Kick profile includes a tantalizing message that reads, “Signing a 50 million dollar deal soon.” This cryptic statement has fueled speculation and excitement among fans, leaving them eagerly awaiting the official announcement.

While Kick seems to be a strong contender, another possibility is RiceGum joining Rumble. The platform recently made waves by claiming to have secured one of the streaming industry’s “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT). This has led some to speculate that RiceGum could be the streamer in question. This is given his presence on Rumble as well.

As the competition to attract popular streamers intensifies, various platforms are actively seeking major signings to challenge the dominance of Twitch. RiceGum’s potential move to Kick or Rumble could have a significant impact on the streaming landscape, potentially drawing more creators and audiences to these platforms.

For now, RiceGum’s decision remains shrouded in mystery. Fans and industry observers alike eagerly anticipate the announcement, which could shape the future of his career and influence the dynamics of the streaming industry. As July 5 approaches, all eyes are on RiceGum and the platform he will choose for his next chapter as a content creator.
