Adin Ross Confirms Long-Term Commitment to Kick Streaming Platform
Popular streamer Adin Ross has put an end to speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform indefinitely. Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential departure, but his recent return with a new livestream and ambitious plans has silenced those doubts.
Ross, known for his high-profile presence and sometimes controversial content, joined Kick after a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, along with other prominent streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While 2023 saw considerable success for Ross on the platform, his sudden absence in 2024 sparked widespread uncertainty and speculation regarding a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven.
However, during a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven, Ross definitively stated his commitment to Kick, reversing months of suggestions he might leave. A subsequent tweet further reassured fans, promising a permanent return. This was solidified by his January 4, 2025 livestream, his first in 74 days, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy. The announcement effectively ends speculation about Ross moving to competing platforms.
Ross Hints at "Bigger" Projects on Kick
The news of Ross's continued partnership with Kick is further enhanced by his cryptic mention of "something even bigger" in the works. While details remain undisclosed, many fans believe this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a venture he aims to expand with Kick's support. Given previous legal issues with Misfits Boxing in early 2024 stemming from unsanctioned events, the success of future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision provides a significant boost to both his fanbase and Kick, which continues its ascent in the streaming world. Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani's recent ambition to either surpass or acquire Twitch, while ambitious, appears increasingly plausible given the platform's current momentum.
