Adin Ross has lifted the lid on the $140 million Kick deal that he, Kai Cenat, and IShowSpeed were offered, revealing new details about it.
When Kick launched back in early 2023, the Stake-backed platform started splashing the cash on a number of different streamers. They signed xQc, Adin Ross, Amouranth, and even chess grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura to big deals, with xQc’s reportedly eclipsing $100m.
They also made offers that weren’t accepted, the most notable of those being IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat. The pair ultimately penned a smaller deal with Rumble to produce an exclusive show that has since been scrapped.
There were a lot of rumors about the figures involved in that rejected deal, but now Adin Ross has lifted the lid a bit more and revealed what they would have gotten.

“I just remember this conversation, I’ll never forget this convo with Eddie (Craven, CEO of Kick). Eddie says to me ‘Adin, I have like $140 million for you, Speed, and Kai. You get this s*it done, you guys, $140m for the first year’,” he said.
Adin noted that they would have been re-signed after that first year, too, and wouldn’t have had to gamble on stream to make up the full amount.
“140 divided by 3? I don’t know what the f*ck that is and thats no gambling, I swear,” he said, with some fans quick to point out that it would have been just under $50m each.
That came in response to Kai saying that he wouldn’t sign any deal that dictated how many hours he’d have to stream for.
“The reason why I ultimately chose to be on Twitch is I don’t like to sign anything that has control over my streaming time and my community. I’ve turned down millions to stay on Twitch,” he said.
