Streamer Adin Ross recently talked about the feud between hip-hop artist Aubrey "Drake" Graham and Kick's founders Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani. Ross recently conducted the ninth edition of his viral influencer boxing series, Brand Risk, on August 22, 2025. At the event, the streamer revealed that Drake is open to stepping into the ring against Craven to settle their differences.

While at the commentators' panel, Adin Ross read out messages from Drake, where the latter seemed ready to fight on the next Brand Risk card "for free." The rapper also discussed the prospect of him and Ross going up against Craven and Tehrani, respectively.

"Drizzy Drake said, 'Adin, I will fight on Brand Risk for free, on my life I'll fight for free. I want to fight Eddie, and you fight Bijan.' So, Eddie and Bijan, it'll be a great event, and we can do something to do with charity. Let's do it! Let's give the fans what they want. We can get Drake to fight for free on Brand Risk, and he fights Eddie, and I can fight Bijan. I say we run it."

In the days leading up to Brand Risk 009, Drake was seen entering Kick streamer TrainwrecksTV's chatbox and sending shots at the platform's founders. This feud seemingly stemmed from Craven and Tehrani creating problems with the rapper's record label, October's Very Own (OVO).

Following a series of text message exchanges with the rapper, Adin Ross revealed that Drake would not be "doing any more streams (on Kick), unless it's for Brand Risk." A day later, on August 20, Drake's Kick channel was deleted.
