For those unaware, the Kick ambassador made headlines on October 22, 2023, when he and his associates were asked to leave the streamer convention.

"Whoa! What did we do?! What did we do? What did we... I was just here for five seconds! I paid! What do I have to leave for?" I paid! What, I'm here just to... I'm here to support Twitch! What did I do?! Bro, Cuffem, we were here for three seconds, bro!"

Netizens assumed the Florida native was kicked out for wearing the Stake-backed platform's merchandise. During a recent livestream, Dan Clancy provided clarification and refuted the rumors. He revealed that Adin Ross and his friends had used false identities to obtain TwitchCon tickets.

Clancy said:

"They used false accounts to get the tickets. And, that's part of the agreement when you get the tickets - that you're not going to be falsely identifying yourself. And so, that's why they took the action. I'm not going to go into a lot more detail..."

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy clarifies Adin Ross and his friends did not get kicked out for wearing Kick merch

Earlier today (October 26, 2023), viewers asked Dan Clancy to explain what happened to four individuals who were asked to leave TwitchCon 2023 Las Vegas despite having tickets:

"'Provide context - during TwitchCon, four individuals purchased TwitchCon (tickets)... were wearing t-shirts of a competitor and after were asked by Twitch personnel to leave. Their accounts were banned on Twitch. What is the response on this, if you have one? Thanks, Dan.'"

The platform's executive responded by saying that they were not kicked out because of their clothing. He elaborated:

"I mean, it had nothing to do with their t-shirts. Actually, there were a lot of folks inside that had Kick t-shirts. For those who didn't notice, I ran into someone on the street, and high-fived him."

Regarding Adin Ross' situation, Dan Clancy said:

"It was because they fraudulently came. With tickets, we have policies around. If you're permanently banned then you can't get a ticket. So, they used false accounts to get the tickets."
