Kick Streamer Cheesur Deletes X Community Amid Viral El Mencho Rumor Fallout
In a dramatic online incident, popular Kick streamer Nermin, widely known as "Cheesur," has permanently deleted his X Community following a wild and baseless rumor that spread rapidly across social media platforms. The false claim incorrectly linked Cheesur to the reported killing of notorious Mexican drug lord Nemesio "El Mencho" Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, leader of the CJNG cartel, leading to significant backlash from his own fanbase.
Viral Post Sparks Millions of Views and Controversy
The controversy began on February 22, 2026, when an X user with the handle @ClippedHubb posted a message alleging that Cheesur was being "credited online" for providing crucial information that assisted the Mexican military in the alleged operation against El Mencho. This post quickly went viral, amassing over 3.2 million views before it was eventually deleted, despite having no factual basis or official confirmation from Mexican authorities.
The rumor gained such traction that it dominated online discussions, with many users speculating and spreading the unverified claim across various platforms. The lack of any official statement from law enforcement or government sources did little to slow the spread, highlighting the power of social media in amplifying unfounded narratives.
Cheesur's Emotional Livestream and Community Betrayal
On February 23, 2026, Cheesur addressed the situation directly during a highly emotional livestream. Expressing feelings of betrayal and frustration, he vehemently denied any involvement with the El Mencho case, stating that he had nothing to do with the events being discussed online. He used strong and angry language to convey his distress, emphasizing how the rumor had turned his own community against him.
During the broadcast, Cheesur announced that his X Community, known as YTG, would be deleted immediately. True to his word, he proceeded to remove the community live on stream, marking a significant moment in his streaming career. He later reflected on the incident, noting that after what he considered a strong broadcast, he checked social media only to encounter widespread hate and negativity from fans.
Reactions from the Streaming Community and Fan Backlash
The fallout extended beyond Cheesur, with other streamers weighing in on the situation. Kick streamer Cameron "Cuffem" publicly shared his thoughts on X, criticizing fans for taking the rumor too far and describing the hate directed at Cheesur as toxic and unfunny. In a post, Cuffem wrote, "Too far with this Cheesur st. Prime example how toxic this st is… Prayers for cheese and kae s**t ain’t funny. Yall treat us like scums no troll."
When another user suggested that streamers sometimes enable their audiences, Cuffem responded sharply, implying that such behavior could have severe consequences. The debate highlighted the complex dynamics between content creators and their followers, with Cheesur himself labeling some fans as parasocial and lamenting that his community had changed drastically since he began streaming from his apartment.
No Evidence Ties Cheesur to Real-World Events
As of now, there is no confirmed proof linking Cheesur to any real-world operations involving El Mencho or the Mexican military. The original viral post has been deleted, and the situation remains a cautionary tale about the speed at which online rumors can escalate. This incident underscores how quickly fan communities can shift from support to hostility when misinformation takes hold on social media platforms.
The episode serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by public figures in the digital age, where unfounded claims can lead to real-world consequences, including emotional distress and community disintegration. It also raises questions about the responsibility of social media users in verifying information before sharing it widely.
