He said:

"I think people get banned for saying, 'Yapping,' on my Twitch streams. But, yeah, listen, we're live everywhere. I'm testing out the waters, boys. You know what I mean? Just live everywhere, man. Live on Kick. Live on YouTube. Live on Twitch. All right? You know what I'm saying? So now Kick is the young child. YouTube is the middle child. And Twitch chat is the oldest child. I should add another one? Oh, you guys want me to stream on OnlyF*ns, too? Oh! Okay, okay, okay."
