Early life

Kika was born on 25 July 2000 in Belgrade,[1][2] where she finished primary school.[2] She enrolled in an engineering class in the Belgrade Trade School.[3]

Kika was offered to take part in the Sinđelići television series, although she declined the offer, she later stated that "rejecting the role was the worst move in my career".[4]

Internet career

Kika launched her channel in March 2015 where she began posting Minecraft content.[5] Considering that she was one of the few Serbian female youtubers at that time, she managed to gather attention and in just less than ten days, she managed to hit thousand subscribers.[5] At some point of time, her channel was the fastest-growing in the Balkans region, and in less than a year she gathered 50,000 subscribers.[1] She later expanded her career into Grand Theft Auto V and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which brought her more popularity.[1] Kika also launched a Twitch account, where she mainly livestreamed League of Legends.[6]

In 2019, she got involved in an online drama with another popular Serbian YouTuber Baka Prase.[7][8] Kika became a target of cyberbullying by Baka Prase and his followers,[9][10] which allegedly worsened her mental health.[11][12] Later that year, she published her first music video.[13]

Kika was also involved in esports and participated in tournaments in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.[14][15] She was also a part of multiple esports organizations.[16]

Death

On 9 December 2021, it was revealed to the public that Kika had died the previous day.[17][18] Although not revealed at first, the police confirmed that her body was found around 11:40pm in her apartment, including medication, which raised suspicion that she committed suicide.[19][20][21] Her funeral was held on 14 December.[22][23]

Due to her involvement in the drama that took place in 2019, Baka Prase was subsequently detained and sent to questioning.[24][25] He was later released on the same day.[26] Following her death, the Independent Association of Journalists of Serbia (NUNS) strongly condemned the "shameful reporting about the person who committed suicide" and stated that many media tabloids violated the Code of Journalists of Serbia.[27]
