Where does the “Kev Adams Kaatsup calinade” meme come from?

Kev Adams, whose real name is Kevin Smadja, is a French comedian, actor and web video maker born on 1 July 1991 in Paris. Facing streamer Kaatsup, he is surprised by her name and jokes by comparing it to a “p’tite calinade mais sans le ‘de’”. Kaatsup is a French video creator; she notably took part in the DTR Fight boxing gala on 7 December 2024, where she beat Dooms on points. The exchange hinges on the spontaneity of the reaction: the comedian improvises a pun in front of a handle that invites one. Internet users cut the line out to use it as a comment-section reply, funnier still for anyone who saw the scene.
