Adin Ross and IShowSpeed's past feud explained
Although controversial streamers IShowSpeed and Adin Ross have been friends for a long time. But recently, it seems there was a rift in their friendship.
Ross claimed that IShowSpeed's manager was pushing him away and stopping IShowSpeed from interacting with him. He disclosed that IShowSpeed's manager had instructed his clients, including IShowSpeed, to avoid him because of his recent controversy.
Ross said, "There's one motherf**ker, specifically, that I f**king love, to death, and I'd f**king die for that person, bro! And that motherf**ker got told by a manager, or corporation."
He went on to say, "Some corporate p**sy, f**king White businessman f**king, 'Don't associate with Adin anymore. He's off the walls.' That's all I'm going to say, bro."
The specific identity of the person who was allegedly asked not to associate with him has not yet been disclosed by the Kick streamer.
However, after disclosing his recent drug addiction to Lean, viewers of IShowSpeed requested that the YouTuber have a conversation with Ross and refrain from being a "L friend." But the 18-year-old's contemptuous response made clear the underlying conflicts.
