Adin Ross Officially Remains on Kick with "Bigger" Plans on the Horizon
Popular streamer Adin Ross has confirmed his permanent return to Kick, putting an end to months of speculation about his departure. Ross's unexpected absence from the platform in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential exit, but his recent livestream and subsequent tweet confirm his commitment to Kick. This return marks a significant development for both Ross and the rapidly growing streaming platform.
Ross, known for his engaging (and sometimes controversial) streams, initially joined Kick after a Twitch ban in 2023. His move, alongside other prominent streamers like xQc, played a crucial role in Kick's ascent. While 2023 saw considerable success, Ross's abrupt departure in 2024 left fans and the platform in suspense. Reports of conflict with Kick CEO Ed Craven circulated, but a joint livestream in December 2024 dispelled these rumors, with Ross publicly affirming his intention to stay. His recent January 2025 livestream, a 74-day hiatus later, solidified this commitment.
Beyond his return, Ross hinted at "something even bigger" on the horizon. Many speculate 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, future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision is a boon for both his fanbase and Kick. The platform, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has ambitious goals, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch. With its current momentum and high-profile partnerships, this aspiration, while ambitious, seems increasingly feasible.
