Rising twitch star Adin Ross who recently got swatted during live broadcast on a fan meet up has now revealed some details about the swatting as he stated that the “fake swatting” was set up by his friend.

Twitch streamer Adin Ross has been banned recently from twitch because he was caught texting while driving during his live stream. Adin soon owned up to his mistake and claimed that he deserved the ban. It was a 7-day ban but he was unbanned early as twitch unbanned him surprisingly only two days later.

Then during his return on the platform, Adin Ross was seemingly swatted during a live broadcast when he was doing a fan meet up and he was also arrested while shopping at a footwear store in a mall. The swatting has received a mixed response from the netizens as some users speculated that the swatting was fake. Now, in an interview with paparazzi on July 15th, Adin Ross spoke further on the “fake swatting” incident where he claimed he’d been set up by a friend of his.

Here’s what he said; “One of my boys, he just like set me up on that s**t, it was f**ked up. He set me up on some fake s**t, trying to f**k with me. Before, I was like, ‘I’m not getting arrested for this s**t, no way.’ We actually had a real SWAT team pull up, it was f**king crazy. Melrose got shut down for a little bit. But, you know, it opened back up, and everything was good.”

The incident was certainly frightening but it seems to have all been a prank, and Ross seems to be taking the issue quite well, as he was caught meeting up with the friend who’d pranked him during the paparazzi interview.
