In other news, Adin Ross recently decided to make peace with Twitch and political streamer Hasan "HasanAbi," asking the 33-year-old to sit down with him and settle their differences.

For context, Ross and HasanAbi previously condemned each other during their broadcasts, despite not being involved in an all-out feud.
