Adin Ross Recommits to Kick, Hints at "Bigger" Plans
Popular streamer Adin Ross has definitively ended speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform "for good." Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential departure, sparking considerable fan concern. However, his recent return, marked by a highly anticipated livestream alongside fellow streamers, effectively quashed those rumors.
Ross, known for his significant online presence and occasionally controversial content, initially 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 abrupt absence in 2024 left his future uncertain, leading to speculation of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. This was dispelled during a joint livestream on December 21, 2024, where Ross explicitly stated his commitment to Kick. A subsequent tweet further reinforced this commitment, promising a long-term stay. His January 4, 2025 livestream, his first in 74 days, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, solidified his return.
Ambitious Future Endeavors on the Horizon
Ross's tweet also hinted at "something even bigger" on the horizon, though details 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 issues with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024 surrounding unsanctioned events, 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, fueled by partnerships with major streamers, is aggressively pursuing growth, with co-founder Bijan Tehrani previously expressing ambitions to either surpass or acquire Twitch. While ambitious, Kick's current momentum makes this goal seem increasingly plausible.
