Popular streamer Adin Ross has definitively ended speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform "for good." Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential departure, but his recent return with a new livestream, alongside fellow streamers Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, on the weekend of January 4th, 2025, marked a decisive shift. This marked his first stream in 74 days. The return followed a December 21st, 2024 livestream with Kick CEO Ed Craven where Ross solidified his commitment.
Ross's move to Kick in 2023, following a permanent ban from Twitch, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth alongside other high-profile streamers like xQc. While 2023 saw considerable success, his absence in 2024 sparked rumors of a rift with Craven. These rumors, however, appear unfounded.
Beyond reaffirming his loyalty to Kick, Ross tantalizingly hinted at "something even bigger" on the horizon. While specifics remain undisclosed, many fans speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he previously highlighted as crucial for future expansion with Kick's support. Given past legal challenges with Misfits Boxing earlier in 2024 over unsanctioned events, the success of future Brand Risk endeavors will be closely watched.
Ross's decision provides a significant boost to both his fanbase and Kick itself. The platform, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has aggressively pursued growth through contracts with top streamers, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch—an ambitious but not entirely unrealistic goal given their current momentum.
