I know that, from Nike to McDonald's.' Taav is a White man, by the way. He proceeds to say, 'From Nike to McDonald's, but bro, keep it real, bro, n***a, a Chicken Big Mac, n***a?! N***a, a Chicken Big Mac, n***a?!' He on my phone, calling me the N-word at 4 AM in the f**king morning!"Adin Ross addressed the situation on July 18, 2025, announcing that he won't be firing his manager because he is "not racist."He elaborated:"Taav is not a racist person. Okay? Like, he doesn't hate people based off their race. That's what racism is. Right? So, he's not racist. Right? And I don't appeal to cancel culture, that's just something I do not. I've been going against it in my entire f**king career. I'm a very loyal person, so it's not like he's over here f**king doing s**t with children, and stuff like that. And I'm not justifying it and saying what he did was right, and those two aren't even comparable. But I know he's not a racist human being. I know he has a good heart, and I know he tries his hardest behind the scenes and on the scenes to make s**t work for me."Adin Ross claims his manager, Taav Cooperman, has taken a leave of absence following the controversy involving Kai CenatAdin Ross further claimed that Taav Cooperman took a leave of absence to "self-reflect" and "figure out" the situation:"However, this is one thing I will say about Taav, right? He wants to take time to himself to self-reflect and to, you know, it's a follow-up. Like, I don't f**king know what's going to happen, but one thing I will tell you is, you know, let him have time to himself to reflect, and you know, figure this s**t out."Readers can access Adin Ross' Kick stream by clicking here [Timestamp - 00:09:12].Furthermore, the 24-year-old stated that his "goal" was to see Kai Cenat and Cooperman reconnect:"I would love to see Kai and Taav get on a phone, like, eventually.
