Kick streamer ‘Cheesur’ issued a public apology after he seemingly got a visit from the feds for making a “joke” about US President Biden during a live broadcast.
Live streaming is one of the most popular forms of entertainment today — but sometimes, these online broadcasts can go seriously awry.
There have been a ton of chaotic moments from live streams that have gone viral over the years. From streamers getting attacked by wild monkeys to catching thieves in the act, there’s no shortage of jaw-dropping incidents that have happened for the entire internet to see in real time.
However, one streamer is probably wishing he’d never made a certain remark during one of his broadcasts after he explained why he took a sudden break from the net.
Kick streamer gets visit from the feds after ‘joke’ about President Biden goes wrong
‘Cheesur’ is a fairly prominent creator on Kick, where he streams to the tune of about 76K viewers.
In January 2024, Cheesur made a comment during a broadcast about United States President Joe Biden, saying he “hates America so much” — and even “doubled down” on an apparent threat to the political leader.
“I wanna be the sniper. I wanna be the hero of America,” he said.

While the VOD from this broadcast apparently isn’t available on Cheesur’s Kick profile, a clip from the stream is available in a commentary video on YouTube and posts on Twitter/X.
Cheesur didn’t stream for about a week, and returned to Kick on January 18 with a vague explanation of where he’d been.
While the streamer didn’t exactly say what went down, many viewers are under the impression that he got a visit from the feds thanks to his comments about the President, which he described as a “joke.”
“I can’t literally tell y’all what I went through, but I mean… it’s kinda obvious,” he explained. “Just know, I learned, and I’m not gonna make some stupid jokes on stream anymore.”

“I apologize for that sh*t I said. Y’all know what happened bro, okay? Some people knocked at the door, there! I’m done talking about it now, okay? And I’m never gonna ever make a joke like that again.”
“I hope you use me as an example, and I hope you learn from it, and you don’t do what I do. Because I almost ruined my life over… something I didn’t mean at all.”
Although his explanation was rather murky, it’s clear that whatever happened, Cheesur admitted he got “scared” enough to completely disavow his previous comments with a public apology.
