Popular streamer Adin Ross has confirmed his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform, putting an end to speculation surrounding his potential departure. Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a possible exit, but his recent return with a new livestream and a public declaration of his intention to stay "for good" has silenced those doubts.
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 abrupt absence in 2024 sparked widespread uncertainty and rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a joint livestream with Craven in December 2024 confirmed Ross's intention to remain.
Ross's January 2025 livestream, his first in over two months, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, further solidified his return. This effectively ends speculation about his moving to other platforms.
Ambitious Projects on the Horizon
Beyond his commitment to Kick, Ross hinted at "something even bigger" in the pipeline. While details remain scarce, many fans 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 earlier in 2024 concerning unsanctioned events, future Brand Risk ventures will undoubtedly be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. The platform, fueled by its partnerships with top-tier streamers, is aiming high, with co-founder Bijan Tehrani previously stating their ambition to either surpass or acquire Twitch. While ambitious, this goal appears increasingly plausible given Kick's current momentum.
