Adin David Ross (born October 11, 2000) is an American internet personality and online streamer. He is known for his collaborations with celebrities and livestreams of the NBA 2K and Grand Theft Auto V video games.[4] He previously streamed on Twitch, from which he was "permanently" banned in 2023. However, the ban was lifted in March 2025, allowing him to return to the platform. A few days before his initial ban, he signed with the livestreaming service Kick.[5]

Early life

Adin David Ross was born to Jewish parents on October 11, 2000, in Boca Raton, Florida.[6] He moved to New York City for a brief period of time, before moving to Three Rivers, California.[7]

Career

Ross began regularly streaming on Twitch while living with his sister Naomi.[8] He eventually joined an NBA 2K group called Always Excelling and met basketball player Bronny James through it. He gained popularity by playing NBA 2K20 with James and doing wager matches with other streamers and YouTubers.[9]

In December 2022, Ross was in talks to interview Kanye West following his controversial remarks about Jewish people,[10] but decided not to do so[11] after West reportedly told Ross on a phone call: "you Jews aren't going to tell me what I can and can't say."[12]

After influencer Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania on December 29, 2022,[13] [14] five people had been authorized to visit Tate in detention, including Ross, who said he was flying to Romania,[15] but was denied access by the Romanian government.[16] In March 2024, Ross said that Tate had told him he would leave the country soon, resulting in Tate and his brother Tristan being arrested to prevent them from fleeing the country.[17] [18] He later apologized to Tate during a livestream, saying that he "really really effed up".[19]

In 2023, shortly before his permanent Twitch ban, Ross began streaming on Kick. He generated controversy for livestreaming Super Bowl LVII[20] and opening the Pornhub website while streaming.[21] On March 4, 2024, Ross dared a 19-year-old man to drive his car into the Burrard Inlet at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, Canada. After the police were notified, the man was arrested at the scene. The incident received negative attention from those who visit the park.[22] [23] [24]

Ross has hosted the far-right political pundit Nick Fuentes on his stream multiple times.[25]

In August 2024, Ross interviewed then-former president Donald Trump on his stream and told his viewers to vote for Trump in the 2024 election.[26] The stream had more than 500,000 concurrent viewers at its peak.[27] [28]

On December 17, 2025, Ross taught Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua a touchdown dance that was widely criticized as antisemitic, including by California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell. Nacua apologized for the dance, claiming he had no idea it targeted Jews. Ross did not apologize.[29]

In February 2026, Ross claimed that he bought the house featured in the television series Breaking Bad located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has plans to preserve it as "a monument".[30]

Twitch bans

On April 10, 2021, Ross was banned from Twitch after YouTuber Zias used a homophobic slur while on Ross's stream.[31] Ross defended himself from the ban by saying to Twitch staff that he did not say the word and was not in the room at the time. Twitch clarified that based on this information he would be allowed to stream.[32] His followers started trending the hashtag #FreeAdin on Twitter in an attempt to pressure Twitch to reverse its decision.[33] His ban was lifted on April 12, 2021.[34]

Over a year later, on April 20, 2022, Ross was banned indefinitely.[35] He was able to resume streaming in June 2022.[36]

On February 25, 2023, Ross received his eighth and most severe ban from Twitch for "hateful conduct" after displaying his unmoderated Kick live chat on stream, which included "multiple racist and anti-semitic comments", leading to a permanent suspension.[37] However, on March 29, 2025, Twitch lifted this ban, allowing Ross to return to the platform.[38]

Personal life

Ross' sister Madeline died at the age of 36.[39] [40]
