Renowned streamer Adin Ross is back on Twitch after his recent reinstatement. However, he continues to engage audiences on Kick, a platform where he reportedly holds equity. During a recent collaboration with internet personalities Rubi Rose and BenDaDonnn, the fascinating details of Ross’s six-minute viral stream with hip-hop artist Playboi Carti were discussed.
Behind the Scenes: Adin Ross and Playboi Carti
To provide context, in February 2024, Ross and Carti had a memorable interaction that left fans buzzing. After just six minutes backstage, Carti departed with a rumored bag of cash containing a staggering $2 million. This prompted Rubi Rose to inject some skepticism into the conversation, asking Ross about the veracity of the claim.
“The situation that happened with Playboi Carti – real or fake? (‘Which one?’, asked Adin) the million dollar, like him coming and it being dark, and all that sh*t.”
Responding to the speculation, Adin Ross dismissed the cash amount rumors, revealing they were part of a larger narrative orchestrated by Playboi Carti to enhance his persona:
“Okay… so me and Carti had phone calls, for five days straight, just being normal as f*ck, talking up a storm, ‘I wanna do this… I wanna stream music… I wanna play this, I wanna play that’… I went to Kick, I got Kick – it was never two million, he made me lie about it to be ‘cool’.”
Dissecting the Financial Details
Adin Ross ensured clarity on his financial standing amidst these events, asserting that he himself faced no loss. He indicated that it was Kick that took a hit financially. The streamer revealed that Playboi Carti ultimately received $250,000. Ross framed this expenditure as a strategic investment, emphasizing how the viral reach of the stream benefited the platform:
“So it was, $500K he agreed to, I went to Kick, they gave me the entire $500K, he only got half a bag… I had two bags in case some shady sh*t happened… he got $250,000, so he stole from Kick, but Kick was happy because they went number one and that sh*t just went so big.”
Reiterating the authenticity of the interaction, Rubi Rose acknowledged the awkwardness in their exchange:
“Exactly, so the situation was real, as f*ck (‘Like the awkwardness between you guys… it was so awkward, oh my God!’, said Rose) So awkward.”
