Adin Ross Remains Committed to Kick Streaming Platform with "Bigger" Plans on the Horizon
Popular streamer Adin Ross has confirmed his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform, putting to rest recent speculation about his departure. Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential exit, but his recent return with a new livestream alongside fellow streamers Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, on the weekend of January 4th, 2025, marked a definitive end to these uncertainties. This marked his first stream in 74 days. He's publicly stated his intention to remain on Kick "for good."
Ross, known for his high-profile presence and sometimes controversial content, initially 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 he enjoyed considerable success on the platform throughout 2023, his sudden hiatus in 2024 sparked widespread speculation, including rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven confirmed Ross's continued involvement with Kick.
Beyond solidifying his presence on Kick, Ross hinted at "something even bigger" in the works. While details remain undisclosed, many anticipate this announcement to be related to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given previous legal challenges faced with Misfits Boxing in early 2024, future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. The platform, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has ambitious goals, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch. While a formidable ambition, Kick's current momentum makes this objective appear increasingly plausible.
