Adin Ross, a controversial figure, said that YouTube star Darren “IShowSpeed” was instructed by his manager not to associate with him during a recent Kick broadcast.
Ross responded by stating that he adores IShowSpeed and that he was “just upset” because the 18-year-old was advised not to interact with or speak to him by someone. The YouTuber’s manager was also disparaged by the streamer. The native Floridian recounted instances when IShowSpeed made news for controversial reasons, saying he was always on the teen’s side. He also exhorted the young internet celebrity to get in touch with him.
Adin Ross began his minute-long Twitter video by stating that IShowSpeed was the one who had been instructed not to be around him: “(IShow)Speed, I know that you’re going to see this s**t. I already know that you are. So, I’m going to say it to you. I love you, bro. Honestly, I was just upset. Someone corporate told you, ‘Yo, don’t talk to Adin.’ You know what I’m saying? You reached out a couple days ago, I hadn’t called you back. I’m going to call you back.”
The former Twitch streamer went on to criticize the YouTuber’s manager, saying: “It doesnt matter… I don’t know… I don’t like your manager. I don’t like him! Just don’t like him, bro! I just don’t like how… I just feel like, bro, like… you know, you should start bringing in (another person’s name), bro. I really am. You know, I just want more publicly know, that like, it’s my bad, bro. On everything.”
Ross said that he “always” had IShowSpeed’s back when the company was involved in disputes: “But, like, when you were going through your s**t. When you kind of had stuff about people talking about you. Not f**king with you. I always had your back. And I don’t want that from you! I don’t want you to ever talk about that s**t. I don’t! But I just want you to call me, instead of not talk to me. You know what I’m saying? Because I’m always here for you, bro.”
At the end of the video, Ross responded to a list of well-known streamers who had “switched up” on him by claiming responsibility: “Yeah, it is my bad, that I brought in your name. I f**king reacted to that list, and be like, ‘No comment.’ Some dumb s**t that I shouldn’t address that s**t. And I’m a man, I’m taking accountability. I’m sorry. I owe you guys some one-on-one phone calls. Everyone that I addressed.”
