Controversial rapper and musician Kanye "Ye" West has once again found himself in a feud with Kick streamer Adin Ross. The two have previously engaged in back-and-forths. The latest drama began when Adin Ross appeared on stream with fellow streamer DJ Akademiks. The former shared his views on the rapper, who has been sharing some seemingly egregious remarks via his X account:

"He's obviously going completely out of his way. He's not doing so well and I'm not talking about putting him on medication. I mean Ak, he's tweeting 'F**k Virgil,' 'Free Diddy,' he's tweeting crazy things about crazy people, even talking about my people - the Jews. He's still going crazy."

Kanye West wasted no time in responding to Adin Ross's remarks. The rapper clapped back by seemingly reminding Adin that he is a "celebrity." He said:

"Adin, why is it such an issue for me to express myself on my Twitter? You are telling people that I need to be detained? I talk exactly like people talk online, except for I'm a celebrity 'cause I don't have to worry about getting dropped."

He also criticized Adin's gaming content (such as playing games that include violence). He said:

"You play stuff with people killing each other and doing drugs and all these destructive behavior all day. That's why I'm pressing y'all so much."

Fellow streamer and close friend of Ross, Felix "xQc," also responded to Ye's post, calling his takes "braindead." He said:

"Hello, Mr. Ye, I think the problem is that what you say is f**king braindead and you are actively doing those behavior."

As mentioned, Kanye West has had previous conflicts with Adin Ross. For instance, in February 2025, West reached out to Ross for a stream. However, after demanding to be addressed as "sir," the rapper ultimately ended up blocking the streamer.

Although titles like FIFA 08 and GTA San Andreas acted as the catalyst for his love of video games, the exponential growth of the streaming community also propelled his interest in the genre.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
