Last year, news went viral that Adin Ross had invited Playboi Carti to his Kick stream, only for Carti to storm out of the stream after kicking up a fuss. Kick allegedly paid $2 million to Carti for his brief cameo on the streaming platform.
However, in a shocking twist, Adin Ross has recently come forward to clear the air, revealing that the actual figure was a modest $500,000.
Adin Ross' shocking revelation sends fans into a frenzy
At the time when the news headlined, there was a storm of memes and jokes on social media about the perceived 'scam' with many poking fun at Adin Ross for getting conned. Fast forward to 2025, and Adin Ross has clarified that $2 million was a gross exaggeration, and the deal was for a measly $500,000.
Adin flexed on his stream that he had divided the amount into two separate bags in case of any calamity. Turns out, he was right to do it after all, as he ended up paying only $250,000 to Carti.
The fallout from the stream was peak internet as fans X lit up with memes and jokes galore as fans got another chance to reignite the beef between the two:
"Carti really played the system for a bag, gotta respect the hustle", joked one fan (via X / @iamskrptd)
"Carti needs to stop the aura farming man it is getting OD", quipped another (via X / @realwilloxman)
When the news dropped, the internet immediately split into two camps: The Carti faithful who painted the rapper as a genius for securing the bag while the trolls dragged him for selling Adin a $500k fever dream. Sure, $250,000 is still a lot of money for a six-minute cameo, but fans were having none of it as the twist gave them a second wind to troll Adin mercilessly:
"Oh so he only stole 250k? my bad bro, that’s practically a handshake", joked one fan (via X / @kite_yagami)
"But he still got robbed though", added another (via X / @whozae)
While some fans couldn’t stop gushing over Carti’s alleged payday, others took a swipe at Adin Ross' antics and claimed that he could be lying again. The mental gymnastics that netizens did to make sense of the situation was hilarious to observe. Amid the chaos, one fan came up with a sharp-witted response that had the internet in splits:
"So we're just lying about money for clout now? can't relate, i'm too busy being broke"
As Adin was flexing about his financial nuance, one fan saw through the smoke and mirrors and hilariously claimed Carti was making an appearance on his stream only to vanish after dropping three 'slatts', was still a loss for him:
"Why we acting like $500k isn’t an insane amount of money to lose in 5 minutes"

While Adin Ross tried to clear the air, all he did was fan the flames of his feud with Carti once again. Although the fans are still in a dilemma about whether to believe Adin's words or not, Carti has probably already forgotten that he participated in a Kick stream last year and is out there planning his next disappearing act!
