Adin Ross Recommits to Kick, Hints at Major Future Plans
Popular streamer Adin Ross has definitively ended speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform indefinitely. Ross's recent absence from Kick, spanning several months in 2024, fueled rumors of a potential departure. However, his return last weekend with a new livestream, alongside fellow streamers Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, laid those rumors to rest.
Ross, known for his significant presence and sometimes controversial content, joined Kick after a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, along with other high-profile streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While he enjoyed success on the platform in 2023, his unexplained hiatus in 2024 sparked considerable fan concern and speculation, including rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. These were dispelled during a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven, where Ross explicitly stated his commitment to Kick. He further reinforced this commitment in a recent tweet, assuring fans of his long-term presence on the platform.
Ambitious Future Projects on the Horizon
Ross's tweet also hinted at "something even bigger" in the pipeline, fueling anticipation among his fanbase. Many believe this refers to his Brand Risk boxing events, a venture he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given previous legal challenges with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024 concerning unsanctioned events, the success of future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision to stay with Kick is a significant boost for both the streamer and the platform. Kick, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has been aggressively pursuing growth, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch, a goal that, while ambitious, seems increasingly plausible given their current momentum and strategic signings of prominent streamers.
