Police quickly arrive on the scene, and the clip ends with one of the boys talking with an officer. All of the kids involved in the stunt appeared to make it out without any serious injuries. However, it has not been confirmed if the group received any payment for the stunt from Ross himself. This is far from the first major controversy Adin Ross has faced, with the streamer getting banned from Twitch a total of eight different times.Ross' most recent banwas issued in February 2023 due to “hateful conduct” after the streamer revealed his Kick chat was filled to the brim with racist and antisemitic messages. This ban was permanent, forcing Ross to move to the popular Twitch alternative Kick. However, Ross believes that Twitch may be looking at lifting this ban in the near future.
Kick prides itself on being less strict than its competitors like Twitch, stating that the platform allows creators to “express themselves freely and produce outstanding content suitable for a mature audience.” The company goes to great lengths to acknowledge bad behavior and states that the platform realized free speech does not act as a shield for hate speech. Thanks to Kick,Adin Ross has developed a massive community, reaching over 60,000 average viewers, according to Stream Charts.
