Adin Ross fires back at Sneako for recent criticism, speaks about platform updates
Sneako, who has openly identified as a Muslim, disclosed that several aspects of Kick's content, including gambling, are considered haram (forbidden) according to his religious beliefs. To this, Adin Ross said:
"I don't f**k with how people can deliberately come directly at Kick for promoting and pushing haram-ness. I don't understand it. I'm obviously gonna talk to Sneako"
He added how Kick recently introduced a website update allowing users to opt out of gambling or Hot Tub streams from their preference list. Speaking about the update, Adin said:
"Kick literally implemented an update where you can check mark basically saying if you want to display Hot Tub streamers and Gambling streams. So, Twitch doesn't have that. Rumble doesn't have that. Kick did it."
He also took shots at two other streamers in his latest rant:
"Pokimane and Hasan, for example, you guys have been very silent ever since they (Kick) implemented that feature."
Speaking about Sneako, he said:
"Sneako secretly loves Kick. He loves it he loves the platform."
He added::
"To all, you Rumble creators, Kick stays in their own lane. You are not the enemy. It's Twitch. Rumble, in all fairness, no disrespect, Rumble you are not competition to Kick."
He opined that Rumble should concentrate on competing with YouTube rather than focusing on Kick, given that the latter has notable personalities such as Adin Ross himself and Felix "xQc," who signed a staggering $100 million deal to join the platform.
He also added:
"I don't like when I'm minding my own business and I see my name involved in Rumble conversations. So I'm gonna clap back and defend myself and my beautiful platform Kick."
Kick is providing serious competition to Twitch by signing some major names over the past few months. To read more about the Stake-backed platform, click here.
