How TikTok star Absi made his big transition to Kick streaming
Hani “Absi” AlQoublan moved to Kick in 2024 after the tremendous success of his TikTok account provided him with a sizable fan following, and now he’s proven himself on both platforms, charting a path for other potential streamers to follow.
Kick is home to all kinds of different streamers. No matter where they’re from in the world, what language they speak, or what type of content they most like to make, everyone has a chance to make it big on the streaming platform. Many creators have taken previously existing audiences and moved with them over to Kick with success.
Absi is one such creator who has quickly become one of the top 20 most-followed streamers on Kick. Here’s what new and old fans alike should know about him and his path to his new streaming home.
Who is Absi on Kick?
Absi is a Jordanian streamer who used his TikTok success to make a streaming name for himself on both Kick and YouTube.
Since 2022, Absi has been creating content for TikTok to a rapidly growing audience. Much of his early material focused on his support for Jordanian football teams, his participation in TikTok challenges, and the creator showing love for his local culture. More recently, Absi has focused on pushing his followers to Kick and doing high-production collaborations there with other popular content creators creators.
His efforts on TikTok had netted him 5.2 million subscribers as of the start of 2026, and his videos regularly get over 1 million views a pop.
In February 2024, the streamer took his fame from TikTok and used it to start a new, and quickly successful, Kick channel. In his nearly two years on the platform, Absi has gained over 716,000 followers and manages to average big viewership numbers across his streams. These stats, combined with his average streaming time of going live for around seven or more hours per stream, made him one of the most-watched Kick streamers in 2025.
He has joined the ranks of other popular streamers including Adin Ross in dominating Kick, and it looks as though he’s still just getting started.

Absi mainly streams video games on Kick, with a focus on showing off his skills while maintaining a light atmosphere. He plays a wide range of games based on whatever he is interested in at any given moment. Some featured streams have included Euro Truck Simulator 2, Respect RP, and PUBG Mobile.
His fans love him for his reactions during gameplay, sense of humor, and genuine ability to connect with his chat even through a screen.
Outside of Kick and TikTok, Absi has substantial followings on YouTube and Instagram. His YouTube account, with 539,000 followers, shares shorter form gaming and reaction content. Absi’s Instagram account, with 1.7 million followers, posts more personal content.
Absi is part of the mass streamer movement to Kick
Since Kick’s founding, several popular online creators like Absi have transitioned most of their content to the site.
Kick has made their site a prime option for streaming, especially when compared to more established platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Kick offers creators a 95-5 revenue split based on followers, viewers, and more. Additionally, streamers are subjected to less restrictions than other sites, offering more options in terms of video content or language. While creators must meet certain criteria to monetize their accounts, many still find Kick to be a much better deal.
It follows, then, that Absi would want to transition his massive following from TikTok to Kick where he might be able to better monetize the attention he receives. With a large audience, both regularly and overall, his income almost certainly benefits from the added platform.
In moving to Kick, one of the biggest challenges for creators on short-form platforms such as TikTok is in transitioning from quick videos to longer and more involved streams. Fortunately for him and his audience, Absi has been able to make good on that transition by streaming regularly and for extended periods of time, while never seeming to lose his trademark positive attitude that has brought him so many fans to begin with.
Absi still has a while to go before he hits 1 million followers on Kick, but he could hit it this year if he keeps his numbers on the rise.
