Adin Ross, the conservative internet star, hosted a livestream on Kick with US presidential candidate Donald Trump. Ross gifted the former US President a Rolex and a Tesla Cyber Truck.

Adin Ross’ Streaming Career

Adin Ross and controversy are synonymous.

At the peak of his popularity, he managed to have over 7 million followers.

Among the guests he hosted on his stream were many controversial personalities like influencer Andrew Tate, who is currently facing charges in Romania for rape and human trafficking.

His racial slurs got him repeatedly banned from the Twitch platform, culminating in a permanent ban from the platform last year after featuring a chat stream where users spammed racial and anti-Semitic slurs. Later, Ross took his show to the alternative streaming site Kick but did not stop his antics, and he also hosted well-known white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

Ross often engaged in terms-of-service-breaking content like streaming the Super Bowl and scrolling through p*rnHub, often landing in controversy.

He is extremely popular with Generation Z, which could be one of the motivations for Trump to appear on the show to enhance his support among the younger audience.

Adin Ross and Donald Trump Live-Stream Interview Highlights

The livestreaming of the Adin–Trump Kick event was eagerly awaited by 320K viewers, and when the former President walked in for the event, the song ‘Many Men (Death Wish)’ by 50 Cent was playing in the background.

The song has become a sort of anthem for the Trump election campaign team, especially after he was shot at in an unsuccessful assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

Adin welcomed the former President warmly and asked if he was familiar with livestreaming, to which Trump answered in the affirmative.

Adin Ross also explained the nitty-gritty of the Kick platform, which suffered an outage earlier due to the sheer volume of messages.

Adin also talked about the W Community and jokingly compared the W with the word ‘win’. This was immediately picked up by thousands of viewers who messaged ‘Trump-W’.

The former president also interacted with Kick streamer Felix xQC, who appeared as an associate of Ross.

Felix xQC also asked Trump what he felt about the xQC T-shirt, which featured a picture of a smiling Trump with grills in his teeth.

However, Ross’s brush with controversy while livestreaming with Trump continued when, after gifting him the watch, Ross brought up the issue of Fani Willis, a district attorney in the state of Georgia.

For the unversed, Willis had filed an indictment against Trump for alleged election interference during the 2020 presidential election.

Adin Ross mentioned Williams’ racketeering case against the rapper during the live stream and said,

‘I have a friend who’s currently being treated very unfairly by [District Attorney Willis]. He’s a rapper named Young Thug. I was just wondering if there’s a way that we could make sure he gets treated fairly?’

In the past, Donald Trump had a penchant for getting rappers out of tricky legal situations.

When Trump was nearing the end of his term in 2021, he pardoned rapper Lil Wayne after he pled guilty to illegal gun possession and also commuted the sentence for rapper Kodak Black, who was sentenced to 46 months after lying on federal forms in an attempt to purchase firearms.

This time, Trump did not directly answer the question, leading many viewers to contend that Ross was attempting to bribe Trump.

Some viewers also labeled the act of accepting such an expensive gift as a campaign finance violation. Trump also commented about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the stock market crash, and the assassination attempt on him.

In the final moments of the show, Adin Ross asked Donald Trump if he would like to make a TikTok video with him, to which Trump nodded his head in agreement.

The two men then danced together to the song ‘YMCA’ by Village People.
