Kick star Adin Ross was hosting soccer tryouts for his new Miami 7 FC team on April 10, 2025, when people allegedly heard gunshots nearby. FaZe Clan’s Nick “Lacy” was apparently among the first to hear them and noticed police helicopters make their way to the area. Shortly after the incident, the tryouts were stopped, and Ross ended his stream as security escorted him out of the premises.
X user @DramaAlert reported that there was a rumor of a bomb threat. Their post read:
“Adin Ross' soccer event SHUTDOWN by Miami PD after gunshots were heard nearby. There is also a rumor that a BOMB THREAT was called, not yet clear.”
After restarting his broadcast following the shutdown, Ross stated that there were indeed gunshots nearby.
Meanwhile, Lacy continued livestreaming with fellow FaZe content creator Marlon, but they vacated the premises shortly after.
Many internet users have reacted to the incident. Some accused the content creators of staging the gunshots for views.
“Yet another set up for views. What a sick world we allowed these fuckers to run around in,” X user @WJS1776 wrote.
“Is he engagement farming again?” @BPmetax asked.
“Grinding those last impressions before payout! Send help!” X user @SurfEther commented.
Others were upset that the stream had to be shut down.
“People actually can’t enjoy good things anymore without ruining it,” X user @averageclipper wrote.
“Let’s hope they find the person and arrest them,” @OpenPleb posted.
Many fans were also concerned about the safety of those involved.
“Wow, that sounds intense at Adin's event. Glad everyone is safe from the chaos,” X user @adivraza wrote:
