ElZeein’s most active following is now on Kick, where he has over 900,000 followers. He frequently streams in the Just Chatting, Grand Theft Auto, and Slots & Casinos categories. He has also put on a variety of special events on the platform to promote himself and his fellow Spanish-speaking Kick streamers.
In November 2024, ElZeein hosted and streamed a Peruvian cooking contest on Kick. Released over the space of a week, the resulting winners were other Kick streamers Renato “Butisito” and Diego “Macarius” Carbajal. Other major events would follow in 2025, including an amateur boxing event called Golden Night and a Dota 2 esports tournament called El Zeinternational.
ElZeein recently became a Stake Peru brand ambassador, showing his continued reach and influence in his home country.

On Kick specifically, his followers have netted him a position as one of the top 15 streamers on the platform overall.

When not hosting special events, ElZeein tends to stream for a few hours every day on whichever game or discussion topic that he feels like getting into with his followers.
As the most popular Peruvian streamer to date and one of the top streamers on Kick, it’s likely that his audience and fame will only keep growing in and around Peru. Maybe it will even motivate him to release another new song.
