Earlier this month, Twitch streamer Adin Ross was reported to be in line to stream with popular rapper Kanye "Ye" West. However, in his latest stream, Adin revealed that he has backed away from his decision to platform the pop star after fearing it could be used to further spread hatred.

Kanye West has been under the cosh of late after making several ignominious comments about Jews. Since his remarks, the rapper has been de-platformed from Twitter and has faced the wrath of the cancel culture.

Adin rescinded his plans to stream with Kanye, which could have quite possibly been his biggest collaboration to date. According to the streamer, he did not wish to "spread hate" by giving Kanye a voice.
