Jideon Armani Adams (born December 12, 2000), better known online mononymously as Jideon (styled JiDion) or GiDeon, is an American YouTuber and online streamer. Initially hosting a comedic vlogging and prank-oriented channel, Adams shifted from this style in favor of Christian-based content in September 2023 and organising and uploading predator sting operations.
Career
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. In March 2022, he crashed a Harvard University life sciences lecture for a comedy video.
In January 2022, Adams was banned from Twitch after being accused of harassing Twitch streamer Pokimane and having his viewers spam her chat with "L + RATIO." In April 2023 Adams announced a partnership with the alt-tech platform Rumble, where he would exclusively live-stream during his Twitch ban. On May 6, 2024, Adams announced that Twitch has reversed their ban and re-instated his channel, to which point he returned to streaming on Twitch.
In September 2023, Adams announced that he would be retiring from making prank videos in turn of following Christianity. 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...", and began making Christian content on a secondary channel, GiDeon. However, he returned a couple of months later to his main channel, and also streams on Twitch under the name JiDionPremium Adams started a series on his main channel called EDP Watch where he catches predators by impersonating as an underage girl on dating apps and organizing a meet up where they get arrested by the police.
Controversies and pranks
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. That same month, he was banned from Wimbledon for his disruptive antics (which included repeatedly sounding an air-horn) during the quarterfinal match between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic.
In September 2022, he was removed from the 2022 US Open men's finals after getting a haircut during the match.
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.
