Twitch Streamer Reaffirms Sobriety Commitment

Adin Ross Recommits to Kick, Hints at Major Future Plans

Popular streamer Adin Ross has confirmed his long-term commitment to the Kick streaming platform, dispelling rumors of his departure. Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 sparked widespread speculation, but his recent return with a new livestream alongside Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, marks a decisive shift.

Ross, known for his engaging (and sometimes controversial) streams, initially joined Kick after a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, along with other high-profile streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While 2023 saw considerable success for Ross on the platform, his abrupt hiatus in 2024 fueled rumors of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven, and a subsequent tweet, confirmed Ross's intention to remain on Kick permanently. This January 4, 2025 livestream marked his triumphant return after a 74-day absence.

Big Plans on the Horizon

Ross's announcement included a tantalizing hint of "something even bigger" in the works. While specifics remain undisclosed, many speculate 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 in early 2024, the success of future Brand Risk ventures will be closely watched.

Ross's decision is a significant boost for both his fanbase and Kick itself. Kick, co-founded by Bijan Tehrani, has ambitious goals, aiming to either surpass or acquire Twitch. With its current momentum and high-profile talent acquisitions, this ambitious target seems increasingly plausible. Ross's continued presence undoubtedly strengthens Kick's position in the competitive streaming landscape.
