Adin Ross is a well-known hip hop streamer with a global following. Through his platform, he has helped promote numerous artists, including Drake.
While he has expressed admiration for Kanye West in the past and tried to collaborate with him, West’s recent controversial behavior has put a halt to their potential partnership.
In an attempt to mend things, West sent Ross a custom t-shirt, but Adin Ross, who is Jewish, was shocked to see it had a Swastika design.
“What the f*ck?!,” the streamer can be heard saying. Adin Ross pauses the video during his stream to communicate his surprise. “He has a shirt with a Swastika with my name on it,” he stated.
During a FaceTime call with West, Adin Ross struggled to address his true feelings about the shirt, knowing his fans would criticize him for not speaking out against it.
Ultimately, he decided to discuss the situation on his stream to clear the air.
“I’m playing cool, so he could unblock me,” Ross explained. “Obviously, guys, I’ll still say it straight to his face. That shirt is not f*cking cool.”
The streamer goes on to promise his fans that he will never wear the shirt, despite receiving it in the mail. “I’m not gonna wear that,” he repeatedly yelled at his chat.
Ross also lamented the fact that he will not collaborate with Kanye West on a live stream in the future. The rapper’s controversies and unpredictability have proven to be too much. “I was looking forward to doing a stream with him,” Ross conceded. “You’re doing too much damage. It’s just wack.”
Adin Ross concluded his stream by wishing Kanye West the best moving forward. “It’s just sad,” he said. “I hope Ye can get the help he deserves. He needs help. Nobody should be enabling him.”
Ross also said that he wants to be respectful of the rapper, despite the fact that he was deeply put off by the shirt he’s been given.
