Adin Ross

Following controversy from April, in May of 2021, Ross announced he'd be donating 20% of his Twitch revenue to charity. He broke this down into 10% being donated to a charity for LGBTQIA causes, and allowing his viewers decide the charity for the remaining 10%. Another act of charity in June 2022 saw him donate $10,000 to streamer Tony "RSGloryAndGold" Winchester, who at the time recently announced his brain cancer diagnosis. Four months later on October 12, 2022, Winchester died.

Over a year later on April 20, 2022, Ross was banned indefinitely due to the use of "hateful slurs or symbols". The reasoning behind this decision was due to the accusation through video evidence that Ross used a homophobic slur on Twitch streamer YourRAGE's livestream. He was able to later resume streaming in June 2022.

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.

On April 4 2021, Adin Ross's Twitch channel was targeted by a "bot attack", where an influx of bot followers caused his follower count at the time to surpass 3 million. Before this occurred, Adin had already gained over 1 million followers on his channel and was drawing about 30,000 live viewers per stream, according to TwitchBeat.

On April 10, 2021, Ross was banned from Twitch after YouTuber Zias answered a phone call and called Ross a "faggot". Ross defended himself from the ban by claiming to Twitch staff that he did not say the homophobic slur and was not in the room at the time. Twitch clarified that based off of this information he would be allowed to stream. His followers started trending the hashtag #FreeAdin on Twitter in an attempt to pressure Twitch's decision. He remained banned up until April 12, 2021.

Ross began regularly streaming on Twitch while living with his sister Naomi. He joined an 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. In 2020, Ross was streaming with Bronny when LeBron James joined in on the call, which would later be uploaded on his Twitter. 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. 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.
