Adin Ross Remains Committed to Kick, Hints at Major Future Plans
Popular streamer Adin Ross has definitively confirmed his continued presence on 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, signals a long-term commitment.
Ross, known for his high-profile presence and sometimes controversial content, initially 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 saw considerable success for Ross on the platform, his abrupt departure in 2024 sparked widespread uncertainty and fueled reports of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven.
However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven dispelled these rumors. Ross explicitly stated his intention to remain on Kick, reversing months of speculation about his future. A subsequent tweet further solidified his commitment, assuring fans of his return and pledging to "stay for good this time." His return to streaming on the weekend of January 4, 2025, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marked the end of a 74-day absence and confirmed his decision.
Ambitious Future Projects on the Horizon
Ross's announcement wasn't just about staying; he also hinted at "something even bigger" on the horizon. While details remain scarce, many believe this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a venture he previously highlighted as a key area of expansion with Kick's support. Given past legal challenges with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024, 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 contracts with top streamers, is aggressively pursuing its ambitious goal, as stated by co-founder Bijan Tehrani, of surpassing or acquiring Twitch. While a bold objective, Kick's current momentum suggests it's not an unrealistic aspiration.
