Adin Ross Recommits to Kick, Hints at "Bigger" Plans
Popular streamer Adin Ross has definitively ended speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform. After a mysterious absence in 2024 that fueled rumors of a departure, Ross's recent return with a new livestream alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy signals a long-term commitment.
Ross, known for his high-profile presence and occasional controversies, initially joined Kick following a Twitch ban in 2023. His move, alongside other prominent streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While 2023 was successful, his sudden disappearance from Kick in 2024 sparked widespread speculation, including rumors of a rift with CEO Ed Craven.
However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven and a subsequent tweet confirmed Ross's return and commitment to Kick. His January 4, 2025 livestream, his first in 74 days, marked a definitive end to the uncertainty.
Beyond his return, Ross teased "something even bigger" on the horizon. While details remain scarce, many fans anticipate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given previous legal issues with Misfits Boxing in early 2024, the success of future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both himself and Kick. The platform, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has ambitious goals, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch. With its current momentum and high-profile talent like Ross, this ambitious goal seems increasingly plausible.
