Cameron (born April 30, 2002), known online as Cuffem, is an American internet personality, online streamer, and rapper. He gained recognition through his participation in the streaming community for streaming himself playing video games, such as games in the NBA 2K franchise and Grand Theft Auto V. He is also known for songwriting and rapping and has uploaded songs on platforms like YouTube, Soundcloud, and Spotify. In addition, he is also known for being close to Adin Ross and has frequently collaborated with him.
In early 2023, Cuffem and other live streamers would shift from Twitch to a then-new live-streaming platform called Kick due to the streaming service having remunerative financial offers. Cuffem now streams on Kick and hasn't streamed on Twitch since January of 2023.
Streaming career
[edit]Twitch (2018–2023)
[edit]Cuffem would start his streaming career on Twitch, where he created his channel on October 7, 2018.[6] He would start his first-ever stream in 2019, which consisted of him playing NBA 2K19. Over time in 2020, he wouldn't stream but play with an online friend named Cheesur on NBA 2K who did stream. Sometimes, while playing with Cheesur while he streamed, Cheesur's live chat would compliment Cuffem on his humor, his professionalism at NBA 2K; and convince him to stream. Due to that, he began streaming himself while playing the game and came across another streamer named Adin Ross, with whom he would often collaborate. Months later going into 2021, he would move on to streaming himself in the "Just Chatting" category of Twitch, which included him playing Grand Theft Auto Roleplay which was gaining popularity among streamers at the time, and participating in "E-Date's" which were a series of dating competitions hosted online on Discord.[7]
In early 2023, Cuffem and other streamers like Trainwreckstv and Adin Ross decided to switch to a new live streaming platform called Kick. The reasons that caused some streamers like Cuffem to switch from Twitch to Kick were due to the platform having a generous revenue split, more flexible content guidelines, and its ability for streamers to host gambling content. Before switching to Kick, he would average about 2,000 live viewers while streaming on Twitch.[1][8]
Kick (2023–present)
[edit]During early 2023, around the same time that Cuffem started to stream on Kick, he would get into a heated online altercation with Twitch streamer HasanAbi due to Hasan having a conflict with his close friend Adin Ross as a result of Ross false copyright claiming YouTube videos and spreading disinformation about who the person he falsely copyrighted was. While in a livestream, Cuffem stated that he was going to harm Hasan due to his online conflict with Ross.[9][10]
On October 3, 2023, during a livestream at a house party hosted by Heelmike, Cuffem and other individuals would get into a physical fight with him due to rising tensions between them earlier in the stream. As a result, Heelmike and one other streamer were temporarily banned off Kick.[11][12]
Cuffem would go viral on social media in early March 2024 after a clip from a livestream showed him getting matched with two women on the Monkey app, an online chat service. Seconds later, one of the women called him "the ugliest thing in the world." Soon after the incident, he clicked and exited off Monkey and ended his stream without acknowledging his live audience. As a result, the video would be shared on social media, with users posting mixed reactions on Twitter stemming from bullying to showing empathy.[13][14]
On March 21, 2024, during a livestream, Cuffem was seen speeding his Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, which eventually caused him to get pulled over by police. Shortly after getting pulled over, Cuffem got hit and would get his foot run over by an oncoming vehicle while crossing a road.[15]
In August 2024, Cuffem along with Adin Ross, announced that they would be moving to Toronto, Canada, to do different sorts of content, including playing the then-new released game in the NBA 2K franchise, NBA 2K25.[16]
On November 10, 2024, during a livestream, Cuffem criticized NFL player Sauce Gardner, a football cornerback for the New York Jets, for his underperformance at a game against the Arizona Cardinals, in which the Jets would lose 6-31. Cuffem would describe Gardner's performance as "dirt" and that he was spending too much time streaming and hanging out with other internet personalities. He would then ask Gardner, "Are you going to be a streamer or a football player?" On November 11, Gardner issued a response via his Instagram account by texting Cuffem, "Fuck your 10k. Do something about it instead of going live and chatting", which Cuffem would later leak on Twitter.[17]
Music/Filmography
[edit]Cuffem's music is uploaded to platforms like YouTube, Soundcloud, and Spotify. All his songs are made into music videos.[1] One of his songs, "100k Hands", was produced by songwriter and producer, Bnyx.[18]
