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. His recent return after a prolonged absence, fueled by rumors of a potential departure, has been met with enthusiastic support from fans.
Ross, known for his high-profile presence and occasional controversies, joined Kick following a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, alongside other prominent streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While 2023 saw considerable success, Ross' unexpected hiatus in 2024 sparked widespread speculation, including rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven.
However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven dispelled these rumors. Ross explicitly stated his commitment to Kick, reversing months of ambiguity regarding his future on the platform. A subsequent tweet further solidified this commitment, assuring fans of his return and long-term presence. His January 4, 2025 livestream, his first in 74 days, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marked a triumphant return.
Ambitious Future Endeavors
Ross's announcement also hinted at significant upcoming projects. While details remain undisclosed, many believe this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, which 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. The platform, fueled by partnerships with top-tier streamers, is aggressively pursuing its ambitious goal of surpassing or acquiring Twitch, a target that, given its current momentum, seems increasingly achievable. Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani's recent statements about this ambition underscore the platform's aggressive growth strategy.
