Blueface is giving DDG credit for his streaming career, and he says the switch has already paid him seven figures on Kick.
In a livestream in the early morning hours of Sunday (Nov. 1), the “Thotiana” rapper made the claim himself. Check an excerpt below.
“I made a million dollars in ninety days off streaming,” Blueface said. “On hundred percent, that’s all factual.I appreciate streaming. I like streaming. Shout out to DDG for introducing me to streaming, getting me all this equipment for streaming. We’ll never forget where we came from. But I’m just kind of that guy, you know? Favor isn’t fair, so they say.”
DDG has been talking up streaming money for a while. At ComplexCon 2025, he said a single month of streaming earned him more than his record deal did.
“For what I signed for, I made that in 30 days on Twitch,” he said, adding that “streamers make more than rappers, a hundred percent.”
Blueface’s rise shows up in outside stats. Data from Streams Charts shows his hours watched jumping from roughly 102,000 in Q2 to 5.42 million in Q3, a 5,225.8% gain that put him first in its percentage growth ranking.
He ranked ninth by raw growth, adding 5,316,902 hours, while Kai Cenat led that list with more than 28.3 million. Close to 96% of Blueface’s Q3 viewing came from Just Chatting and IRL streams.
Kick’s published terms let creators “keep 95% of all revenue you receive,” which means a $5 monthly sub puts $4.75 in the streamer’s pocket. The same split covers KICKs, the platform’s tipping currency.
