Kick has now rumored to sign one of the most important figures in US political history, and fans are in a frenzy.
Last week, Trainwreckstv hinted about six big celebrities joining Kick. He claimed that it would turn things around for the entire gaming industry while posing a massive challenge for Twitch. After all, the platform is facing a backlash from its creators, and if it loses its charm, there’s no coming back. For now, we have the first reveal, Grand Master Hikaru Nakamura, who recently announced his partnership with Kick. The Chess pro seemed to be over Twitch, starting a new relationship with its arch-nemesis. And with that, the Kick family now sheltered Adin Ross, Corinna Kopf, GM Hikaru, and many more names.
Now, it looks like they have broken all predictions, making a bold move on Twitter. Apparently, they have claimed to sign one of the most important politicians in US history, per se a significant figure in the modern world.

Who did Kick sign after GM Hikaru?
Post GM Hikaru, fans were counting the days until the next big release. After all, Trainwreck’s claim kept running through their minds while they crossed their fingers for their favorite streamers to strike a deal. But well, Kick broke down the hype, claiming to have signed former President of the United States, Barack Obama.
On April 1, 2023, Kick’s official Twitter page uploaded a fresh post saying that ‘it’s true’ that they struck a deal with the former POTUS. In fact, they even added his picture, making things look more normal, as it was something they did for all previous signing posts.
It was just a matter of minutes before the picture caught the attention of thousands of fans. And then, the comments section saw nothing but chaos for the next few hours. Comments like “Obama seems like a good choice,” “I’ll be downloading kick to see Barack play Minecraft with trump and Biden,” “That’d be lit and all but today is April 1st so I don’t know what to believe,” and more. Here’s what the others had to say.
It would be foolish if he didn’t join!

Now, there are two things to note, with the main being date. Given that April 1 is considered a fooling day, this Tweet could be a simple joke, and the possibility leans clearly to that. However, even if there’s a slight chance of it being the other, there’s no harm in speculating.

Given that Obama loved playing Minecraft and thousands of AI videos surfacing with fellow Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump, this could be up for speculation. But until the former POTUS breaks the silence, it’s better to stay in doubt!
