On May 16, 2023, controversial streamer Adin Ross commented on fellow content creators Kai Cenat and Darren "IShowSpeed" collaborating to host The Kai 'N Speed Show, a livestreaming show exclusive to Rumble. The announcement was made earlier today and has since gone viral on the internet.
Adin Ross stated that he was "hurt" by Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed's decision to switch to Rumble instead of Kick. He then revealed that the Trainwreckstv-backed platform offered the two internet stars a $40 million contract, which they declined:
"I'm hurt. I wanted Kai and Speed on Kick. I'm going to be honest. We originally offered, I think, Kai and Speed $40 million. I think Kai was $40 million and Speed was $40 million. They said no."
