Kick streamer Konvy has accused the platform's ambassador, Adin Ross, of being racist. During a livestream on January 24, 2024, Konvy was reviewing Discord submissions when he showed what Adin Ross allegedly said on an Instagram post. Here's what the Florida native wrote on the social media platform:
"Hey, nephew. It's your uncle. What do I call you? @Speedyjrn***a, okay n***a."
For context, the Instagram handle @Speedyjrn***a belongs to YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed's" pet dog, which the 19-year-old has seemingly named the "N-word." Here is the screenshot:

Claiming that Ross wrote the comment mentioned above in front of him, Konvy said:
"Oh yeah, chat - on my life, chat, I was in front of Adin when he said this. On my life! And he said, 'N***a.' He said like, 'Yo, Konvy.' He told me the little story about Speed and s**t. Like, the story he got, like, whatever Speed named his dog - N***a. He's like, 'Yo, Konvy... should I reply and say n***a?'"
The 21-year-old content creator then accused Adin Ross of racism, stating:
"Like, no n***a! Why are you not canceled for this? 'What do you mean?' So, I'm just explaining. This kid should get exposed. I don't care. This n***a is a racist piece of s**t and he said the hard-r."
