ximena

She’s the kind of person who shows up to a car meet in San Diego wearing a vintage band tee and still manages to look effortlessly cool while explaining tire setups to a camera. Ximena, known online as XimenaFlaka, isn’t your typical streamer. While most Kick creators stick to gaming or tightly curated "aesthetic" lives, she’s built her space by doing the messy, joyful things real people actually do: last-minute sleepovers with friends, cruising Pacific Coast Highway with the windows down, and yes, occasionally stepping into the MMA ring. Her streams feel less like performances and more like scrolling through a friend’s Instagram Stories—just longer, with better banter. You’ll catch her laughing too loud at a coffee shop mishap or patiently teaching a newbie how to parallel park during a Thursday night drive, all while dropping casual !DISCORD and !INSTA prompts like she’s texting you mid-adventure.

What really catapulted her from local San Diego vibes to broader attention was unexpected: Drake shouting her out on Adin Ross’s Kick stream last April. The Canadian rapper gushed about her post-fight energy after her win at Brand Risk 006, specifically praising how she kept shadowboxing *after* the bout ended in the white trunks he called "goated." It wasn’t just the co-sign—it was the specificity. He didn’t just say "she’s great"; he mimicked her movements, hyped her opponent too, and made it feel personal. Overnight, her Instagram @xvb.flaka gained Drake himself as a follower, and Kick’s algorithm did its thing. But here’s the twist: she didn’t pivot to chasing clout. She stayed rooted in IRL chaos, like her recent two-night sleepover stream with Nina Ryah where they ordered pizza at 2 a.m. and debated whether pineapple belongs on tacos (spoiler: it absolutely does, according to Team Ximena).

Her content thrives on intentional imperfection. During a car meet stream earlier this month, her mic cut out for seven minutes because her phone died—so she just held it up to the camera while swapping chargers, grinning as the crowd cheered her "tech struggle." No frantic editing, no manufactured drama. It’s this refusal to polish away the realness that resonates, especially with younger viewers tired of overly produced influencer content. She’s not selling detox teas or crypto; she’s sharing how she styled her thrifted jacket or why San Diego’s In-N-Out is superior. Even her MMA background isn’t framed as a "brand" but as a hobby she genuinely loves—you’ll see her knuckle tape in stream thumbnails alongside glittery nail art.

Off-camera, details are sparse by choice. She’s hinted at boxing coaching (rumor has it she trained fellow Kick personality Sma Frank), but she keeps her personal life guarded beyond what’s on stream. The Drake moment sparked messy rumors about her dating Adin Ross—mainly after a Kick-affiliated X account jokingly captioned an Instagram repost as a "date"—but she’s never addressed it, letting her content speak instead. That discretion feels refreshing in an era where oversharing is the norm. Her audience respects her boundaries; comments lean toward "Queen energy" and "teach me your parking skills" rather than invasive questions.

Ximena’s rise isn’t about going viral; it’s about consistency. While others chase trends, she’s quietly built a community through shared mundanity and genuine joy—like when she streamed a sunrise hike and spent 20 minutes helping a lost dog find its owner. That’s her magic: reminding us that the most compelling content isn’t always the flashiest. It’s the stuff that happens when you hit "go live" without a script, surrounded by friends who feel like yours.
