"If you come to Kick, you get a deal" - Adin Ross invites KSI to join Kick

KSI has indicated an interest in returning to streaming. Despite gaining fame primarily through YouTube, he has a history of streaming dating back to 2013. Notably, his Twitch account still boasts an impressive following of over 425,000.

Adin Ross, a key figure as both the most followed streamer and co-owner of Kick, has expressed a keen interest in having JJ on his platform. He said:

"Well, I'll be truthfully honest. If you come to Kick, you get a deal. KSI, you will get a bag. If you go to Twitch, they are not gonna pay you anything, cause they just admitted it."

This comment was in response to the latest interview by Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, who hinted that the company will be laying off its staff members due to having a strict budget.

Speaking about JJ's potential move, Adin Ross further stated:

"If you go to YouTube, that's where mainly all your followers are. But I think you should come to Kick personally, and I think we could make something sweet for a deal."
