Popular streamer Adin Ross has officially confirmed his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform, putting an end to months of speculation regarding 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 and a tweet declaring his intention to "stay for good" has settled those concerns.
Ross, known for his high-profile presence and sometimes controversial content, joined Kick after a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, alongside 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 speculation, including rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven confirmed Ross's intention to remain. His January 4, 2025 livestream, his first in 74 days, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, further solidified this commitment.
Ambitious Future Plans for Ross and Kick
Ross's recent tweet hinted at even more significant developments on the horizon, though specifics remain undisclosed. Many fans speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he's previously indicated he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given past legal challenges with Misfits Boxing in early 2024, the success of future Brand Risk ventures will be closely watched.
Ross's decision to stay with Kick is a significant boost for both the streamer and the platform. Kick, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has been aggressively pursuing growth through partnerships with top-tier content creators, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch—an ambitious goal that, given their current momentum, doesn't seem entirely unrealistic.
