Adin David Ross (born October 11, 2000) is an American Twitch streamer known for streaming Grand Theft Auto V and NBA 2K on his channel.[1]
Early life
Adin Ross was born on October 11, 2000, in Boca Raton, Florida. He moved to New York City for a brief period of time, but would ultimately settle in Three Rivers, California. He attended Woodlake Union High School.[2] Ross had an interest in streaming from a young age and has stated that he skipped his high school prom to stream on Twitch.[3]
At 12 years old, as revealed on a No Jumper interview with Adam22, he was stabbed in his sleep by a mentally unstable relative. Ross had nine stitches in his arm while the relative went to jail before being admitted to a mental hospital.[4]
Career
Ross began regularly streaming on Twitch while living with his sister Naomi. He joined a NBA 2K group called Always Excelling and met Bronny James through it. He gained popularity by playing NBA 2K20 with James and doing wager matches with other streamers and YouTubers.[5] In 2020, Ross was streaming with Bronny when LeBron James joined in on the call, which would later be uploaded on his Twitter.[6] In November 2020, after being unsatisfied with NBA 2K21 and its creators, Ross started the Twitter hashtag #make2kfunagain, which reached number one, trending worldwide on the platform.[7] At around the same time, Ross began hosting "e-date" streams, where people compete to find a date over Discord, which led to further growth to his Twitch account.[8]
In February 2021, he was the first creator revealed to be in the collective Clout Gang 2.0 and moved in to the wizza house along with FaZe Banks, Mike Majlak, Sommer Ray, and RiceGum.[9]
On April 4, his Twitch was hit by botted followers, which made his follower count spike by three million. Before this occurred, Adin had already gained over a million followers on his channel and was drawing about 30,000 live viewers per stream, according to TwitchBeat.[10] Days later, on April 10, 2021, Ross was banned from Twitch after YouTuber Zias answered a phone call and called Ross a "faggot"[11] Ross was not in the room at the time so, he contacted Twitch staff. They said it was okay for him to stream, as he himself did not say it, but he was still banned.[12] His followers then started the hashtag #FreeAdin.[13] He was unbanned on April 12. On April 20, 2022, Ross was again banned indefinitely, he later resumed streaming in June.[14]
