Adin Ross Remains Committed to Kick Streaming Platform with "Bigger" Plans
Popular streamer Adin Ross has confirmed his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform, putting to rest months of speculation regarding his departure. Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential exit, but his recent return with a new livestream alongside fellow creators Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, on the weekend of January 4th, 2025, marked a definitive return after a 74-day hiatus. He has publicly stated his intention to remain on Kick "for good."
Ross, known for his controversial yet highly popular streams, initially joined Kick after a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, alongside other prominent streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While he enjoyed success on the platform throughout 2023, his sudden departure in 2024 sparked widespread rumors, including speculation of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven confirmed Ross's continued allegiance to Kick.
This renewed commitment comes with a promise of "something even bigger" on the horizon. While details remain undisclosed, many fans speculate this relates to Ross's Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Previous legal issues with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024 surrounding unsanctioned events highlight the potential challenges for future Brand Risk ventures.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. The platform, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has ambitious goals, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch, a target that seems increasingly attainable given its current momentum and strategic partnerships with top-tier streamers.
