Mikyle Rafiq (born August 13, 2004), better known online as n3on, is an American Internet personality, and online streamer. While he is widely recognized for his streaming career, Rafiq initially gained recognition as a YouTuber where he would upload gaming videos on NBA 2K and Fortnite.[4][5] He previously streamed on Twitch before joining Kick in 2023.[6]

Early life

[edit]

Rafiq was born on August 13, 2004.[7] His father, Rafiq Wazir Ali was part of a Pakistani pop/rock band called Strings.[8][9]

Career

[edit]

In 2019, Rafiq began gaining popularity throughout his videos and live streams where he would rage and start going by the nickname "Ronnie2K's son"[10] in reference to Ronnie Singh who has the nickname "Ronnie2K" and is the Digital Marketing Director for 2K Games.[11] The "Ronnie2K's son" phrase became a popular meme within the NBA 2K community due to resemblance between Rafiq and Ronnie Singh which resulted in "Ronnie2K" posting a meme video on TikTok for Fathers Day in 2021.[12]

YouTube

[edit]

Before predominantly posting clips and highlights from his Kick live streams,[13] Rafiq started publishing YouTube videos in October 2016, posting player builds and gameplay videos on the video game NBA 2K17.[14]

On May 30, 2017, before live streaming on Twitch or Kick, Rafiq would live stream on YouTube.[15] On his first stream he was seen playing the video game Grand Theft Auto V.[16] Later that year he would begin to start live streaming NBA 2K17,[17] which was the video game he was making videos on before live streaming.[13] During his live streams Rafiq would play with and against his viewers throughout different NBA 2K video games.[18]

On October 14, 2019, Rafiq would have his last published YouTube live stream before fully switching over to stream on Twitch.[15][19]
