Adin Ross Remains Committed to Kick Streaming Platform with "Bigger" Plans
Adin Ross has definitively ended speculation about his future, confirming his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform. After a mysterious absence in 2024 that fueled rumors of a departure, Ross' recent return with a new livestream alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marks a significant turning point. His tweet declaring his intention to "stay for good" puts to rest concerns about a potential move to other platforms.
Ross, a highly popular and sometimes controversial streamer, joined Kick following a Twitch ban in 2023. His presence, alongside other prominent streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While he enjoyed success in 2023, his unexpected hiatus earlier in 2024 sparked widespread speculation, including rumors of discord with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven confirmed Ross' continued involvement with the platform.
This renewed commitment comes with exciting news: Ross hinted at "something even bigger" on the horizon. While details remain undisclosed, many believe this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given past legal challenges with Misfits Boxing in early 2024, future Brand Risk endeavors will hopefully avoid similar setbacks.
Ross' decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. Kick, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has ambitious goals, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch. With its current momentum and the continued involvement of major streamers like Ross, this ambitious vision seems increasingly plausible.
