Adin Ross Remains Committed to Kick with "Bigger" Plans on the Horizon
Popular streamer Adin Ross has officially ended speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform long-term. Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential departure, but his recent return with a new livestream and a declaration to stay "for good" puts those rumors to rest.
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 notable streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While 2023 saw considerable success for Ross on the platform, his abrupt absence in 2024 sparked uncertainty among fans and led to speculation of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven confirmed Ross's continued commitment to Kick. His subsequent tweet further solidified this, promising a 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 Teased
Beyond simply staying with Kick, Ross hinted at "something even bigger" in the pipeline. While specifics remain undisclosed, many believe this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given previous 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, actively competing with Twitch, aims to either surpass or acquire its larger rival, a goal that seems increasingly plausible given its recent momentum and strategic partnerships with top-tier streamers. Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani's earlier statement about this ambitious goal underscores the importance of retaining key personalities like Adin Ross.
