Kick streamer Daniela Rivera accidentally pepper sprayed herself while testing the canister inside her car during a livestream, sending her into a coughing fit and visible discomfort as the clip spread across X.
The video, which circulated Monday evening, shows Rivera seated in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with brown leather interior. She holds a white Starbucks bag in one hand and a small pink pepper spray canister in the other. After examining the device, she appears to discharge it, then immediately reacts with her head tilted back, eyes tightly closed, and mouth open.
Rivera leans forward toward the steering wheel area, briefly dropping partly out of frame, before sitting back up with a strained expression. She rubs her hands, waves them near her face, and keeps looking downward while dealing with the effects. The reaction matches the typical burn and irritation that comes from getting the spray near the eyes, nose, or mouth.
Clips of the moment were posted by accounts including @clipcloud, which shared the roughly 96-second video with the caption noting the Kick streamer testing the spray while sitting in her car. Similar versions appeared from other clip pages the same night, including one that quoted the line “At least we know it works now.”
Rivera streams on Kick under the handle danielariveraa — see her Kick channel — where she has built a following of about 10,000. Within long-running livestream culture on platforms like Kick, she also maintains her larger TikTok account with hundreds of thousands of followers, and appears on Instagram as daniela.riveraaa. Her content often mixes Just Chatting sessions with IRL moments.
She has previously been linked publicly to streamer N3on, also known as Mikyle Rafiq, in a relationship that mirrored N3on’s public relationships playing out across streams and social media earlier in 2026, with NDTV Sports’ timeline of the breakup documenting the split. The pair appeared together in clips from outings and lives, though their status has shifted over time.
No injuries beyond the immediate irritation were reported in connection with the car incident. The video itself contains no indication of anyone else being sprayed or of any confrontation. It simply captures a streamer testing a self-defense product and discovering firsthand that it works as advertised.
Pepper spray is designed to cause temporary intense burning, tearing, and difficulty breathing when it contacts mucous membranes, per the Hong Kong Medical Journal’s review of the clinicopathological effects of pepper spray. Accidental self-exposure is a common enough occurrence, and one that highlights the real-world risks that come with IRL streaming — which is why self-defense instructors often advise practicing outdoors and upwind. Rivera’s reaction, captured in the confined space of the car, illustrates why that advice exists.
The clip continued circulating Tuesday as users shared and commented on the sequence of expressions. Rivera herself has posted related content under the handle @DanielaRiveraxo, including a version framed as one of the funnier streamer moments.

For now the video stands as a short, unscripted reminder that even when you are the one holding the canister, the spray does not always stay pointed where you intend.
