Prominent internet personality Adin Ross has addressed the community after reaching a major milestone in his career. For those unaware, on February 6, 2024, Adin Ross became the first Kick streamer to reach one million followers.

Claiming that Kick co-founder Ed "Eddie" Craven "laughed" at his decision, Adin Ross said:

"Man, Kick team, I just want to say - thank you so f**king much. Yo, I'm about to get chills in my whole body right now. I might actually get emotional. When I came to this platform, I was supposed to fail. Even Eddie laughed. He said, 'I don't know if this is going to work. We're just going to do it for s**ts and giggles.'"

And now, everyone wants a f**king piece of this money!"

The content creator added:

"They see Eddie is cutting checks for streams and s**t, and (they're) like, 'Oh, what the f**k is this?' Man, it's crazy! It's f**king nuts!"
