Streamer SXB takes Kick by storm, here's what to know
Ahmed “SXB” Alqahtani, also known as shongxbong, has spent many years making his name online, and the streamer arguably shines the brightest with his current presence on Kick.
Streamer SXB has long had an internet presence, but it really took off in 2020. He first gained popularity on YouTube, and then on Twitch, for his gaming content. Now he’s become one of the most popular Kick streamers on the whole of the platform. Here’s what fans and new viewers alike should know about SXB, where he came from, and where he’s headed.
Who is SXB?
SXB is a popular Saudi Arabian streamer who has created content across Kick, YouTube, Twitch.
First beginning to post videos in 2018, SXB kicked off with YouTube and Twitch. He gained fame as a Fortnite player with POWR eSport and focused on competitive play content. His now inactive Twitch account once grew all the way up to 1.7 million followers, while his YouTube channel still sits with a hefty 12 million followers. Both are under the handle shongxbong, as are most of his social media accounts.
Though now retired from competitive Fortnite, SXB recently competed in the Riyadh Reloaded Showdown and came in second, showing that his skills are far from faded. Prior to that, he had come in first at Creative Madness 2 in 2020 and ranked in other miscellaneous tournaments between 2020 and 2023 in which he repeatedly demonstrated his prowess.

The creator has also taken home several Saudi Arabian awards for his videos, including Best Content Creator and Best Streamer in 2022. More recently, he won the Favorite Male Influencer Award for the Joy Awards, specifically citing the YouTube and Twitch content he was making at the time.
Where SXB has really seemed to excel, though, is on Kick. The streamer has catapulted off his YouTube success to make a name – and potentially a major profit – on the newer livestreaming platform.
SXB becomes one of the biggest streamers on Kick
In his two years on the platform, SXB has risen rapidly to become one of the biggest streamers on Kick.
SXB joined Kick in September 2023 and has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of the top streamers on Kick. As of December 2025, he has 1.5 million followers, putting him just a few hundred thousand behind the very top names on the platform. In total, he comes in as the fourth most-followed streamer on Kick, an impressive distinction that shows just how much reach the streamer has managed to accrue in a relatively short period of time.

Out of all of his content on the platform, SXB’s material focuses predominantly on Kings League, a seven-on-seven soccer format that now has leagues across the world. The streamer is actually the president of his own team which ranks first in the MENA region, where he and the team are based. They are set to compete in the Kings World Cup Clubs Paris 2025 in January 2026, and fans may be able to catch a look on SXB’s Kick channel.
Other featured content include popular games such as Grant Theft Auto V, Risk: Global Domination, and Arc Raiders. He tends to stream every few days for hours at a time, so viewers should keep an eye out for when he next pops online to see just what it is that has made SXB so popular on Kick.
The Saudi Arabian streamer isn’t the number-one name on Kick yet and he doesn’t have the most followers on Kick, but his current progress is nothing to scoff at. SXB fans have a lot to look forward to, including more entertaining and competitive content and a further growth track that doesn’t show any signs of stopping.
