During a livestream on March 20, 2025, Adin Ross voiced his displeasure regarding his former bodyguard, Anthony “Ant”Nails, after noticing him working as security for rapper Ski Mask the Slump God. This revelation seemed to deeply upset Ross, who labeled Ant as “greedy”and conveyed that he felt “hurt”by the situation.
This article delves into the tumultuous relationship and the significant legal battle that unfolded between Ross and Ant, including a $10 million lawsuit that marked their public fallout in 2024.
Adin Ross Faces $10 Million Lawsuit Filed by Former Bodyguard
In July 2024, the internet was abuzz with news of Adin Ross being sued for $10 million. Although he did not directly name Ant during his remarks, he criticized the individual behind the lawsuit, claiming they lacked professionalism.
Expressing determination to counter-sue, the Florida-based streamer stated:
“Oh yeah, by the way, I got somebody who’s trying to sue me right now for $10 million. Good luck, and you know who you are. You don’t even have real paperwork. You were never a real, whatever, a professional you were to me. Good luck in court and I am going to counter sue you so you are probably bluffing.”
“But I’m going to counter-sue, so get ready. I promise you, I will bury you in the courtroom. Don’t f**k with me. That’s a threat. Actually, that’s not even a threat. That’s a promise.”
By August 2024, court documents that began circulating online indicated that Ross allegedly failed to verify Ant’s criminal background prior to hiring him as his bodyguard. On August 18, 2024, Ross commented on the leaked information regarding the lawsuit and reiterated his legal stance without explicitly mentioning Ant:
“I am suing somebody. You know that ‘somebody’ threatened to sue me for years. I am suing them, finally. It just backfired. It’s insane. I am suing somebody that has no paperwork of ever being legit, and they’re going to lose in court. It’s that simple. And I’m going to get what I want out of this. You mess with the bull, you get the horns.”
Ongoing Legal Battle: Adin Ross Discusses The Court Case With Ant
When Ross reacted to a video featuring Ant in a protective role for Ski Mask the Slump God on March 20, 2025, he conveyed how “crazy”the situation was, especially given the personal connection he had previously felt.
“Chat, all I’m going to say is this, bro, paying certain motherf**kers, the most-paid employee because they think you’re brother and s**t like that, it’s crazy, bro. It’s all I’m going to say, bro. Like, it’s really crazy when you give people the absolute world, and they still try to find a way to be greedy and weird, it’s crazy, bro. It’s really nuts to me. It’s crazy, bro! It’s really f**king crazy if you think about it.”
Additionally, Ross shared insights about the ongoing legal proceedings, affirming that he has incurred substantial legal expenses throughout the process. He lamented the personal toll the situation has taken on him:
“It’s ongoing right now. I’m not going to like to you all. Bro, it’s ongoing. I’ve spent a lot in fees, bro. My lawyers put in overtime to do their thing. I’m more hurt over this situation than anything, really. I mean, bro, motherf**kers don’t have their legit paperwork or certificates. It’s going to be fun. After this one, I have to create my own case and that’s going to get really exciting. I can’t wait for that, honestly.”
Ross encouraged his followers to investigate the lawsuit, pointing out that the details are publicly accessible.
