During a recent gambling livestream, Adin Ross and Trainwreckstv discussed current events in the content creation sphere, with the former claiming that Twitch is in "shambles." He elaborated:

"Yeah, Twitch is in f**king shambles. They have no money to pay these creators."

In response, Trainwreckstv commented on those who "laughed" at him and Adin Ross, remarking:

"Twitch is f**ked, bro. And, all those motherf**kers laughed at us, too. Look at us now. Literal equity owners, huh? Adin, look at that, bro. That's right! That's so hard, bro, and the company is doing so good well now. We're f**king good! We're set."

The permanently banned Twitch streamer then asked if he was making money from his ownership of the platform. At this point, Trainwrecktv claimed Adin Ross could "easily hit" nine figures with his equity.

He added:

"I think you're going to be hitting... let's see here - six, seven, eight, easily nine figures. I think, just from your Kick equity alone, you'll be at nine figures in the future. Like, in the next two, three, four, or five years. Easy!"
