"It's not a loan" - Adin Ross generously donates $100,000 to Fousey to help streamer's financial difficulties

On November 6, 2023, Yousef "Fousey" made his first public appearance after a several-month hiatus on Adin Ross' livestream. During their conversation, Fousey opened up about his financial situation, claiming that he was "dead broke" and had $20,000 in his bank account. The 33-year-old also stated that he hoped to use his situation to inspire fans.

In response, Adin Ross generously donated $100,000 to the Fremont native to assist him with his financial difficulties. He said:

"I have to tell you something. I got you a gift. It's not in person. But, I'm telling you man-to-man and I think you'd appreciate it. Should I tell it right now? Do you want to know? It's not physical. It's straight-up just... do you want to know? I know about your financial troubles, Nadeem was telling me about it. I'm going to give you; it's not a loan, you're not paying me back, I'm giving you $100,000."

Adin Ross added:

"$100,000 - you don't have to... no recoup, nothing. That's just you. Because I know what you went through, and he was telling me a lot of the money that you were going into was for your health. And, $100,000, it'll help you put yourself back up."

"Can I tell you something? I want to inspire people by this. Before I sign this contract, I'm dead broke. I have $20,000 left in my bank account.
