In a series of posts from his alternate X account, @AR15thed3mon, he said there was “no point” in doing “big streams” on Kick anymore, claiming Twitch still offers better mainstream growth. His move immediately drew reactions across social media, from excitement to speculation about trouble between him and Kick’s management.
Adin Ross says Kick is “lacking,” plans major Twitch streams with 6ix9ine and Playboi Carti
On November 11, 2025, Adin Ross announced his plans to go live on Twitch for two high-profile collaborations, one with 6ix9ine and another with Playboi Carti. “Hey guys I’ll be streaming on Twitch for the 6ix9ine stream, and the Carti stream,” Ross wrote on X. “No point of doing big streams on Kick. At least on Twitch I will gain followers and mainstream growth.”The 25-year-old emphasized that the move isn’t permanent, but rather a strategic one aimed at increasing discoverability. He promised fans he wouldn’t run ads during the streams, clarifying that Kick would still host his “game nights, regular desktops, gambling, and streams that make sense.” Despite co-owning Kick, Ross admitted that its reach and engagement weren’t where he wanted them to be.His statements immediately went viral, with a lot of fans commenting on the post. One user, @TheGreeny777, challenged him to “actually do it,” to which Ross quickly replied, “I am.” The exchange added fuel to the buzz, positioning Ross’s Twitch return as a significant moment in the ongoing streaming platform rivalry.Shortly after his Twitch announcement, Adin Ross claimed that Kick had reduced his payout due to his separation from Stake, the gambling platform behind Kick’s funding. During a recent Just Chatting session, Ross told his audience, “I got told yesterday, unless I’m gambling on Stake, they are not upping my KCIP.”Ross said his current affiliation with Rainbet led to a payout cut, adding, “If you’re not on Stake.com, they lower your s**t. I’m sorry.” The streamer appeared frustrated, hinting that Kick’s creator incentives are heavily tied to Stake’s ecosystem, something he called “crazy.”
