Cheesur
Nermin "Cheesur" Dzaferovic is an American live streamer who gained prominence for his provocative content and close affiliation with top streamer Adin Ross. He is a key figure in the "chaos streamer" genre, which leverages controversial behavior, high-stakes gambling, and manufactured drama to attract an audience. After beginning his career on Twitch, he transitioned to the rival platform Kick, where his viewership and public profile grew substantially.[1]
Early Life
Publicly verified information regarding Dzaferovic's date of birth and early life is not available. He is known to reside in Miami, Florida, which also serves as the operational base for Adin Ross's streaming activities.[1]
Streaming Career
Twitch (2017–2023)
Dzaferovic launched his Twitch channel on October 10, 2017, eventually achieving Partner status on the platform.[2] His early content was primarily focused on sports simulation games like the NBA 2K series. Over time, his streams shifted towards "Just Chatting" and gambling categories. His tenure on Twitch was marked by several controversies and at least two notable suspensions, which contributed to a strained relationship with the platform.[3] His activity on Twitch ceased in early March 2023.
Kick (2023–Present)
Cheesur's move to Kick was part of a larger migration of streamers, led by Adin Ross, who found Twitch's content policies, particularly on gambling, to be overly restrictive. The transition proved to be a major success for Dzaferovic. His viewership metrics on Kick far surpassed his previous records, with a peak of over 95,000 concurrent viewers recorded on March 3, 2024.[1] On Kick, he fully embraced the "chaos streamer" persona, with content centered around gambling, confrontational interactions, and collaborations with other streamers.
Affiliations
Stacey Step Bros (SSB)
Cheesur was a prominent member of the Stacey Step Bros (SSB), a content creation collective led by Adin Ross. The group, which included other streamers like Cuffem and Zane, was instrumental to Cheesur's growth through frequent collaborations and appearances on Ross's high-profile streams. In early 2024, Adin Ross announced the formal dissolution of SSB as a professional entity, citing a lack of motivation and work ethic from its members after they had secured lucrative contracts. Ross stated that while the business arrangement was over, he remained on friendly terms with the members.
Controversies
Allegations of Racist Remarks
Dzaferovic faced significant public backlash for allegedly making racist comments directed at fellow streamer BruceDropEmOff following Bruce's departure from Kick. The incident was widely discussed on social media platforms and solidified his reputation as a provocative and controversial figure.
November 2024 Disappearance Hoax
In November 2024, a report from The Express Tribune claimed that Cheesur had gone missing after making inflammatory remarks against a Mexican cartel leader.[4] However, this report was directly contradicted by publicly available streaming data, which showed that he was actively and consistently broadcasting during and after the alleged disappearance.[1] The incident is widely considered to have been a publicity stunt or a hoax, consistent with his brand of manufactured chaos.
