On November 29, 2024, a video from Kai Cenat's livestream surfaced on social media, in which he claimed Adin Ross had been banned from Kick. The clip was taken from the 28th day of Cenat's ongoing Mafiathon 2 subathon when he and his friend discussed Ross and his generosity.
After the two-time Streamer of the Year award winner's friend claimed that Ross had gifted him a laptop "for no reason," Cenat disclosed that the Kick ambassador gave him a car and three watches:
"Bro, Adin bought me a car, he bought me... how many watches? Three watches? Bro, I love Adin. Adin is cool as s**t! Shout out to Adin, bro. Nah, real s**t, though. I know the n***as are going to be on his a** and s**t, but as a friend, he's a good dude, bro. I'm not going to lie."
Kai Cenat then claimed Adin Ross was banned from Kick:
"I just hope that... damn, he's banned on Kick! (Kai Cenat's friend responds, 'He's banned on there?') He's banned on Kick and he's banned on Twitch. I don't know. But I think he... how did he get banned on Kick, chat? That's his s**t! How did he get banned, chat?"
Readers should note that Adin Ross is not banned from Kick, as his official channel, which has 1.5 million followers, is still accessible as of this writing.

What was the recent controversy surrounding Adin Ross and Kick?
In November 2024, Adin Ross unfollowed Kick CEO Ed "Eddie" Craven on Instagram, and the Australian billionaire followed suit. This caused netizens to wonder if the 24-year-old content creator was leaving the Stake-backed platform.
Eventually, Craven commented on speculations about Ross' departure from Kick, stating that the streamer has "nowhere to go" because he is indefinitely banned from Twitch and will not switch platforms to Rumble.
In a now-deleted X post from November 16, 2024, Adin Ross issued an ultimatum to Ed Craven, writing:
"I'm gonna enjoy UFC and give you one last chance to make things right privately with me before I tell and show the world the real you."
On November 21, 2024, Kick removed Ross' name from their App Store description, sparking speculation in the streaming community about his departure once again.
