Kick’s content advisor Tyler “TrainwrecksTV” Niknam has finally addressed the Adin Ross drama, claiming the streamer is still part of the core Kick team while looking for a diplomatic solution to what appears to be an impending divorce.
Adin Ross, once considered Kick’s golden boy, is now at the center of speculation as tensions between him and the platform’s owner appear to be rising. Adin Ross, one of the first high-profile streamers to migrate from Twitch to Kick after its 2022 launch, also holds a stake in the platform. Naturally, fans were shocked when he recently expressed uncertainty about where he plans to stream in the future.
Kick may be owned by Ed Craven, but its notable streamers, including TrainwrecksTV, Félix “xQc” Lengyel, and Adin Ross, hold significant influence over the platform’s direction. With Adin Ross no longer on good terms with Craven, judging by a series of angry posts on X, TrainwrecksTV has stepped in to mediate.
According to TrainwrecksTV, who claims to be Kick’s advisor, Adin Ross is still part of the platform’s core team. He said this in response to a video of him saying that those who feel tempted by Twitch should reconsider that urge and instead look to Kick’s vision. When fan pages reposted the clip suggesting that TrainwrecksTV is “throwing shade” at Adin, the Kick advisor corrected them.
“Incorrect, Adin is part of the core team with me and xQc and hopefully we find a way to get everything resolved so we can continue dominating together,” TrainwrecksTV said.
He also responded to Adin Ross’ X post, saying that Kick needs him. According to TrainwrecksTV, he’s trying to fix the mess with the CEO and platform to bring Adin back.
The drama began when Adin Ross hinted at leaving Kick, prompting a response from Kick’s CEO, who remarked that Ross had nowhere else to go since he was banned on Twitch. Despite Adin’s repeated attempts to get unbanned from Twitch, his efforts have been unsuccessful. The situation escalated further when Adin threatened to “expose” Ed Craven. The posts on X were deleted shortly after Ross posted hem and he has been radio silent since.
It remains to be seen if the internal team can resolve this matter now that TrainwrecksTV is involved. Otherwise, fans should expect to see Adin Ross on some other platform, potentially Rumble or YouTube.
