Jidon Adams, better known online as JiDion, is an American YouTuber and online streamer. Initially hosting a comedic vlogging and prank-oriented channel, Adams shifted from this style in favor of Christianity-based content in 2023.
In December 2021, Adams attempted to get an autograph from DeMarcus Cousins during a game in Houston, which prompted a Toyota Center security guard to try and halt the interaction. Cousins told the security guard that he was "taking [his] job too serious" and went on to sign Adams's jersey. [3] In March 2022, he crashed a Harvard University life sciences lecture for a comedy video. [4] [5]
In January 2022, Adams was permanently banned from Twitch after being accused of harassing Twitch streamer Pokimane and having his viewers spam her chat with "L + RATIO." [6] In April 2023 Adams announced a partnership with the alt-tech platform Rumble, where he would exclusively livestream. [7]
In September 2023, Adams announced that he would be retiring from making prank videos in turn of following Christianity. [8] The following month, Adams took down all of his prank and non-Christian content from his main and second channels and followed this up with the video, "Why I Deleted All My Videos...", [9] and began making Christian content on a secondary channel, GiDeon. [10]
In October 2021, Adams uploaded a video where he was kicked out of a Best Buy by an employee, due to Adams entering the store shirtless. Later the same day, he brought a large group of other shirtless men to the Best Buy in order to harass the employee who had kicked him out. [11] That same month, he was banned from Wimbledon for his disruptive antics (which included repeatedly sounding an airhorn) during the quarterfinal match between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. [12]
In September 2022, he was removed from the 2022 US Open men's finals after getting a haircut during the match. [12] [13] [14] [15]
In July 2023, Adams received a lifetime ban from all NBA and WNBA events for a stunt he pulled at a WNBA game which included him sleeping while the match was playing. [16]
