Adin Ross Remains Committed to Kick with "Bigger" Plans on the Horizon
Popular streamer Adin Ross has confirmed his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform, ending months of speculation about his future. Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 sparked rumors of a potential departure, but his recent return with a new livestream and a definitive statement puts those rumors to rest.
Ross, known for his significant online 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 left fans wondering about his next move and fueled speculation of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven.
However, during a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven, Ross clarified his intentions to remain on Kick. He further reinforced this commitment in a recent tweet, assuring fans of his return and stating his intention to "stay for good this time." His return to streaming on the weekend of January 4, 2025, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marked his first livestream in 74 days.
Ambitious Future Plans for Ross and Kick
Ross's tweet also hinted at "something even bigger" in the works, fueling anticipation among his fanbase. Many speculate this could relate to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he previously highlighted and aimed to expand with Kick's support. Given previous legal challenges with Misfits Boxing in early 2024 concerning unsanctioned events, future Brand Risk endeavors will undoubtedly be closely watched.
Ross's decision to stay with Kick is positive news for both his loyal viewers and the platform itself. Kick's continued growth relies heavily on securing deals with top-tier streamers, and Ross's presence is a significant asset. As Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani recently stated, the platform's ultimate ambition is to either surpass or acquire Twitch – a bold goal that, given their current momentum, doesn't seem entirely unrealistic.
