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 mysterious absence in 2024 that fueled rumors of his departure, Ross's recent return with a new livestream signals a renewed dedication to Kick and hints at ambitious projects on the horizon.
Ross, a prominent and often controversial streamer, joined Kick after 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 the platform, his sudden absence in 2024 sparked widespread uncertainty and speculation, including rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven.
However, during a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven, Ross dispelled these rumors, confirming his intention to remain with Kick. This was further solidified by a recent tweet reassuring fans of his return and commitment to the platform. His first livestream in 74 days, on the weekend of January 4, 2025, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marked a significant return.
Major Announcements on the Horizon
Ross's tweet also hinted at "something even bigger" in the works, although specifics remain undisclosed. Many fans speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he previously highlighted as a key area for expansion with Kick's support. Given past legal challenges with Misfits Boxing in early 2024 concerning unsanctioned events, future Brand Risk endeavors will likely face increased scrutiny.
Ross's decision is a boon for both his fanbase and Kick, which continues its ascent in the streaming world, fueled by partnerships with major content creators. Kick's co-founder, Bijan Tehrani, recently expressed the platform's ambitious goal of either surpassing or acquiring Twitch – a target that, given Kick's current momentum, seems increasingly plausible.
