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. 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 tweet declaring his commitment to stay "for good" have put 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 prominent streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While 2023 saw considerable success for Ross on the platform, his sudden hiatus in 2024 sparked widespread uncertainty and fueled reports of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven confirmed Ross's continued commitment to Kick. His January 4, 2025 return to streaming, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marked the end of a 74-day absence.
Ambitious Future Plans on the Horizon
Ross's recent tweet not only confirmed his loyalty to Kick but also hinted at "something even bigger" in the works. While specifics remain undisclosed, many speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Previous legal issues with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024 surrounding unsanctioned events suggest a cautious approach to future Brand Risk ventures.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. The platform, fueled by partnerships with top-tier streamers, continues its ambitious growth trajectory. As Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani recently stated, their ultimate goal is to either surpass or acquire Twitch – an ambitious but potentially achievable target given their current momentum.
