The controversial "IRL" streaming world has been rocked by another high-profile suspension as CostaKid was officially banned from Kick following a viral live stream involving a woman. The ban, which occurred around February 18-19, 2026, has prompted a sharp reaction from fellow influencer HSTikkyTokky, who claims the streamer was warned to "stop" before the platform took action.

The Explicit Live Stream Viral Video of CostaKid Behind the Ban

The suspension follows a live broadcast that quickly circulated on social media, featuring CostaKid and a girl in what viewers described as an "indecent" or "explicit" situation. According to our previous report at LatestLY, the ban was issued for "violating community guidelines by streaming explicit sexual content, including acts with others during a live broadcast."

While Kick generally does not comment on specific moderation actions, their guidelines state that "active involvement in the participation of content which contravenes these Guidelines" is considered a severe infraction.

HSTikkyTokky Breaks Silence on Viral Video of CostaKid and His Ban

HSTikkyTokky, no stranger to controversy himself, took to his community page to vent his frustration. In a post that has garnered over 111,000 views, the fitness influencer revealed that CostaKid had been given a chance to avoid the ban.

"Super pissed Costa got banned. Learn from my mistakes. Adam told him to stop as well once he got a warning... Now he’s prob lost 5k over next 3 days + lost momentum ... DO NOT DIE FOR NYASH."

The statement suggests that CostaKid received an internal warning or was advised to change the tone of the stream. HSTikkyTokky’s phrase "Do not die for nyash" (slang warning against risking one's career for women/sexual content) has since become a trending talking point among fans.

Financial and Career Impact for CostaKid After The Kick Ban

HSTikkyTokky’s assessment highlights the heavy cost of these "safety-related" bans. He estimates CostaKid’s immediate financial loss at roughly $5,000 in revenue over just three days, not including the long-term damage to his "momentum" as an emerging IRL creator.

The revelation that CostaKid allegedly ignored a direct warning to "stop" as the stream escalated has split the community.

  • The Critics: Argue that ignoring platform warnings for "clout" or "viral moments" justifies a permanent ban.

  • The Fans: Claim that Kick’s moderation is inconsistent, especially given the platform’s reputation for being more lenient than competitors like Twitch.

As of today, CostaKid’s channel remains offline. It is currently unclear if the ban is a temporary "suspension" or a permanent removal from the platform.
