Summary
- Adin Ross has confirmed his long-term commitment to Kick, stating he'll stay "for good."
- A recent absence from the platform fueled speculation about his departure.
- Ross's return, complete with a new livestream and hints of "bigger" plans, quells those rumors.
Adin Ross, the popular and often controversial streamer, has officially ended speculation about his future on Kick. After a period of absence that sparked rumors of a potential exit, Ross has confirmed his intention to remain on the platform indefinitely. His recent return, marked by a highly anticipated livestream, signals a renewed commitment and hints at ambitious projects on the horizon.
Ross, who joined Kick after a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023, became a key figure in the platform's rapid rise to prominence alongside other notable streamers like xQc. While 2023 saw considerable success, his abrupt departure from Kick in 2024 left fans uncertain. Reports of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven circulated, but these appear to be unfounded.
During a December 21, 2024, livestream with Craven, Ross confirmed his decision to stay with Kick, reversing months of speculation suggesting an indefinite departure. He further reassured fans via a tweet, promising a return and stating his intention to "stay for good this time." His return was marked by a January 4, 2025, livestream, his first in 74 days, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy. This effectively puts to rest rumors of a move to another platform.
Adin Ross's Continued Commitment to Kick and Upcoming Projects
Ross's tweet also hinted at "something even bigger" in the works, though details remain undisclosed. Many speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he aims to expand with Kick's support. Given previous legal issues with Misfits Boxing in early 2024 concerning unsanctioned events, future Brand Risk ventures will likely face increased scrutiny.
Ross's decision is a boon for both his fans and Kick, a platform actively competing for market share. Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani recently expressed the platform's ambition to either surpass or acquire Twitch—an ambitious goal that, given current momentum, seems increasingly plausible.
