Adin Ross says he passed on linking with Kanye West to avoid another Twitch ban

Controversial Twitch streamer Adin Ross has made headlines again due to his recent statement about controversial rapper Kanye West on his stream. The 24-year-old streamer recently revealed on stream that he's had numerous opportunities to link up with Kanye for a stream, but he passed on them because he wants to avoid another Twitch ban.

He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the way fellow streamers like N3on and Sneako were disrespected during their stream with Ye.

“It's been what? Not even a month, I've been unbanned, and I've got collaborations I'm planning with, like DDG, and, you know, other Twitch creators and stuff like that, so I'm not here to basically…how do I say it? I worked really hard to get unbanned on Twitch and do a collab with my people and stuff like that,” Ross said when giving reasons why he didn't link up with Kanye West.

He continues:

“And another reason why I'm actually really happy I didn't go is the two clips that I saw. It was the weird shit where he said don't interrupt me or don't talk, all that. I don't f*cking know, but he was kinda speaking to them like they were animals and sh*t, you know, and it was kinda like wack to me when I saw Sneako and N3on, the way they were spoken. And you guys say I'm controlled in all these things. I really don't give a f*ck; I'm very happy that I didn't go; they got banned on Twitch that day. I would definitely have been banned; they would have banned my as*.
