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 indefinitely. Ross's recent absence from Kick, spanning several months in 2024, fueled rumors of a potential departure, even suggesting a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, his return to live streaming on January 4th, 2025, alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, after a 74-day hiatus, clearly signals his commitment.
Ross initially joined Kick in 2023 after a permanent ban from Twitch. His move, along with other high-profile streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While he enjoyed success in 2023, his 2024 absence sparked considerable uncertainty. A December 21st, 2024 livestream with Craven solidified Ross's decision to stay, marking a significant shift from previous hints of leaving the platform.
This renewed commitment is further emphasized by Ross's recent tweet, assuring fans of his permanent return. But the announcement also includes a tantalizing hint: Ross teased "something even bigger" on the horizon. While details remain scarce, many speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he intends to expand with Kick's support. Given past legal issues with Misfits Boxing in early 2024, the success of future Brand Risk ventures will be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a significant boost for both himself and Kick. The platform, fueled by partnerships with major streamers, is aggressively pursuing its ambitious goal of surpassing or acquiring Twitch, a target deemed achievable by co-founder Bijan Tehrani. Ross's continued presence significantly strengthens Kick's position in this ongoing competition.
