Pro Bowl Star Receiver Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson Eyes a Slice of the $10M Pie with Nickmercs in Vegas

The streaming industry is in a state of flux. Amazon-owned Twitch‘s policies are prompting creators and streamers to migrate en masse to other platforms. Over recent months, some of the most popular creators on Twitch have left the platform for Kick. Most of these streamers, including xQc and Amouranth, signed staggering deals with the up-and-coming streaming platform. The latest name from the gaming industry to have gone over to Kick is FaZe Clan member Nickmercs, who has reportedly signed a one-year contract with Kick worth $10 million.

Now, the deal has attracted the attention of Pro Bowl Star winner Chad “Ochocino” Johnson, who wants a piece of the action. Through a recent series of posts on X, Johnson looks to reach out to Nickmers with the possibility of getting himself a similar deal with Kick.

Former NFL star wants to meet up with Nickmercs at a McDonald’s

On 19th October, FaZe Nickmercs took to X, formerly Twitter, to announce his arrival on Kick. In a short video clip, Nickmercs can be seen “kicking down” a set of heavy doors indicating a new era. The Mfam owner wrote “a new chapter” as he embarks on a new, albeit non-exclusive, partnership with Kick. His recent action has drawn the attention of a former NFL star, who also seems to be interested in a similar deal for himself.

Chad “Ochocino” Johnson was a wide receiver and was considered one of the sport’s best during his prime. The former Miami and Cincinnati star did not exactly have a career worthy of ballads but did pretty well for himself throughout his journey. After Nickemercs announced his stepover to Kick, Johnson reached out to the streamer through X and talked about the possibility of him signing a similar deal with the green platform.

Johnson said they could meet up at a McDonald’s and even send their wives to shop together while the duo talked business. The former NFL star owns three McDonald’s across the US and it’s only natural that he would feel more at home in his favorite fast-food chain in Vegas.

Nickemercs embarks on a new journey

Creator and FaZe Clan member Nickmercs rose to fame thanks to his CoD: Warzone streams. For almost a decade, the streamer has been an active creator on Twitch. His imposing personality and videos of Fortnite, Warzone, and Apex Legends helped him garner almost 7 million followers.

At his height, Nickmercs reported 80,000 monthly subscribers. However, Twitch’s announcement of cutting down creator revenue share to 50% from 70% led to a lot of dissatisfaction among streamers, and Nickmercs also held a similar opinion. Tell us what you think of Nickmerc’s new chapter ahead with Kick in the comments below.
