Adin Ross has officially announced his decision to leave Kick. For those unaware, in November 2024, speculations surrounding Ross' association with the Stake-backed website surfaced on social media, with numerous netizens believing the streamer was leaving the platform.
On November 13, 2024, controversial content creator Nico "Sneako" claimed Adin Ross was "leaving" Kick and that he was "going to Rumble":
"Fix your contract, buddy. You unfollowed Drake. You unfollowed your CEO. You're going to Rumble and you're saying g*y s**t to me? Adin, you made me come to a dead website. Not a dead... I'm over here on Kick now and I'm getting banned every day."

On November 16, 2024, Kick CEO Ed "Eddie" Craven responded to rumors about Adin Ross' departure from the platform, stating that Kick "wouldn't die" if the streamer decided to part ways:
"People kind of try new things and try out stuff. You know, I think the likes of Adin, right, if he was to leave Kick, would Kick die? No! Kick wouldn't die. Would Kick lose viewership in terms of hours watched? Of course! Would it lose community? Sure. There'd be communities left."
