Clips from a recent online debate on Kick are gaining traction as Adin Ross expressed anger towards Sneako for refusing to denounce Hitler as evil. Despite Adin's persistent questioning, Sneako did not provide a clear answer, leading Adin to rage-quit the Discord call and accuse Sneako of seeking attention by making controversial statements.
Notably, Big Akademiks also joined the discussion, but tensions escalated when Sneako continued to refrain from labeling Hitler as evil. When firmly pressed by the other two, the Rumble streamer explained that he would not comment:
"I'm not going to partake in this group thing."
Frustrated, Adin Ross left the call, saying:
"I'm out, call me. I'm out, I'm out. I don't care, I'm out. I'm not doing that sh*t. He's doing it for reactions, he is smiling and sh*t."
"I think he was a bad person, I don't know if he was evil": Sneako refuses to call Hitler evil saying he didn't know the man, causing Adin Ross to leave in frustration
Both Adin Ross and Nico "Sneako" have faced criticism for their associations with controversial figures such as Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist and political commentator. While Adin, who is Jewish, has pushed back against Fuentes' antisemitism, Sneako has not taken a similar stance. In fact, Sneako even joined controversial rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) in his election campaign (with Nick Fuentes as an advisor).
Ross has been embroiled in a bunch of controversies recently, from taking a drug called lean to his inflammatory comments about the LGBTQ+ community. The variety streamer has been talking about many contentious topics on his Kick stream, and the conversation that took place a couple of days ago focused on Hitler.
While Adin Ross was denouncing the dictator for the Holocaust and other atrocities that he committed during and before WWII, Sneako firmly stated that it was a matter of perspective. After some back and forth, Adin rejected the premise that he needs to take into account Hitler's perspective. Referring to the Holocaust, he said:
"I understand Hitler has a perspective, but I don't agree or want to even... I mean yeah, everyone was probably wondering why you did it.... But it's like, I get what you're saying with that, but why does it matter what Hitler's perspective is? He's a sick man even you admitted is a piece of sh*t, Sneako. Right? He was evil, right?"
Sneako responded:
"I think he was a bad person, I don't know if he was evil. I haven't met the guy. I think he was a bad person..."
Adin Ross was not pleased with the answer and wanted Sneako to spell out that Hitler was an evil person. The Kick streamer got increasingly frustrated when his fellow debater refused, ultimately leaving the call in a burst of rage.
Social media reactions to the Hitler debate
Many on social media found Sneako's reluctance to answer the question highly problematic, with some pointing out that he has a far-right audience and streams on Rumble, which is widely recognized as a platform used by American far-right members. Here are some general reactions to the clip from Twitter:
Adin Ross has recently been feuding with fellow streamer and close associate IShowSpeed. Here's a breakdown of all that is known about their public spat and attempts at reconciliation.
