Background and career
Adin David Ross (born October 11, 2000) is an American internet personality and online streamer. He is known for his collaborations with celebrities and livestreams of the NBA 2K and Grand Theft Auto V video games. He previously streamed on Twitch, from which he was indefinitely banned in 2023. However, the ban was lifted in March 2025, allowing him to return to the platform. A few days before his initial ban, he signed with the livestreaming service Kick.
Adin David Ross was born to Jewish parents on October 11, 2000, in Boca Raton, Florida. He moved to New York City for a brief period of time, before moving to Three Rivers, California.
Ross began regularly streaming on Twitch while living with his sister Naomi. He eventually joined an NBA 2K group called Always Excelling and met basketball player Bronny James through it. He gained popularity by playing NBA 2K20 with James and doing wager matches with other streamers and YouTubers.
In December 2022, Ross was in talks to interview Kanye West following his controversial remarks about Jewish people, but decided not to do so after West reportedly told Ross on a phone call: "you Jews aren't going to tell me what I can and can't say."
After influencer Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania on December 29, 2022, five people had been authorized to visit Tate in detention, including Ross, who said he was flying to Romania, but was denied access by the Romanian government. In March 2024, Ross said that Tate had told him he would leave the country soon, resulting in Tate and his brother Tristan being arrested to prevent them from fleeing the country. He later apologized to Tate during a livestream, saying that he "really really effed up".
