Adin Ross Recommits to Kick, Hints at Major Future Plans
Popular streamer Adin Ross has definitively stated his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform. Following a period of absence in 2024 that fueled speculation about his departure, Ross's recent return and subsequent confirmation have quelled those rumors. He's not only back, but he's hinting at significant future projects.
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 was successful for Ross on Kick, his unexpected absence in 2024 sparked rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven, and a subsequent tweet, confirmed Ross's commitment to staying on Kick "for good." His return to streaming on the weekend of January 4, 2025, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marked the end of a 74-day hiatus.
Big Plans on the Horizon
Ross's announcement included a tease of "something even bigger" in the pipeline, though specifics remain undisclosed. Many fans speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a venture he's previously expressed a desire to expand with Kick's support. Given past legal challenges with Misfits Boxing in early 2024 concerning unsanctioned events, the success of future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. The platform, fueled by partnerships with major streamers, is aggressively pursuing its ambitious goal, as stated by co-founder Bijan Tehrani, of surpassing or acquiring Twitch. While ambitious, Kick's current momentum makes this objective seem increasingly plausible.
