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 long-term. Ross's recent absence from Kick, spanning several months in 2024, fueled rumors of a potential departure. However, his return with a new livestream alongside other creators, Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, on the weekend of January 4th, 2025, marked a decisive shift. This marked his first stream in 74 days.
Ross's initial move to Kick in 2023, following a Twitch ban, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While he enjoyed success in 2023, his 2024 hiatus sparked considerable uncertainty among fans and led to speculation of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven, and a subsequent tweet, confirmed Ross's commitment to Kick. He explicitly stated his intention to "stay for good this time."
Beyond his return, Ross teased "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 previous legal challenges with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024, the success of future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for Kick, which is aggressively pursuing growth and aims to either surpass or acquire Twitch, according to co-founder Bijan Tehrani. With high-profile streamers like Ross on board, Kick's ambitious goals appear increasingly attainable.
