Kick star Adin Ross celebrated his birthday with a special IRL livestream on October 11, 2023. For the broadcast, Ross invited an animal handler, who showcased a variety of exotic animals, and one of them was an 18-year-old Panamanian white-faced capuchin. A moment from the webcast, featuring the content creator's interaction with the monkey, has since gone viral on social media.
When the animal was placed on his lap, Ross began to freak out. Upon seeing this, the handler instructed the streamer on how not to intimidate the capuchin.
Things took a turn when the monkey hopped on Ross' lap and lifted up his shirt. The Florida native retaliated immediately, resulting in the animal biting him. The content creator then let out a loud squeal and began running across the room.
Adin Ross wondered if the Panamanian white-faced capuchin scratched or bit him. The handler then stated that the animal bit his shirt. The former Twitch personality exhaled a sigh of relief and said:

After the capuchin lunged at Adin Ross, the handler claimed that it was being playful. He also described how the monkey would have reacted if it had been enraged or felt threatened:
"No, he's not mad at you. He thinks you're a toy. If he was mad at you - he'd be screaming and all kinds of other things. But, all that chirping... like I said, if he was mad at you, the chirping and all of that, would not be like that. His hair would be standing up."
