Adin Ross Remains Committed to Kick Streaming Platform with "Bigger" Plans
Adin Ross has definitively ended speculation about his future, confirming his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform. After a period of absence in 2024 that fueled rumors of a departure, Ross's recent return with a new livestream and a public statement declaring his intention to stay "for good" has settled fan anxieties.
Ross, a prominent and often controversial streamer, joined Kick following a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, along with other high-profile creators like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While 2023 saw considerable success for Ross on Kick, his unexpected absence in 2024 sparked widespread speculation, including rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. These rumors were dispelled during a joint livestream on December 21, 2024, where Ross confirmed his continued allegiance to the platform. This was further solidified by a recent tweet reassuring fans of his permanent return. His January 4, 2025 livestream, his first in 74 days, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marked a significant return.
Ambitious Future Endeavors
Ross's tweet also hinted at "something even bigger" on the horizon, fueling fan anticipation. Many speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given past legal challenges with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024, the success of future Brand Risk ventures will be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. Kick, aiming for dominance in the streaming market, has been aggressively pursuing deals with top-tier streamers. Co-founder Bijan Tehrani's previous statement about Kick aiming to surpass or acquire Twitch, while ambitious, now seems increasingly plausible given the platform's current momentum.
