Adin Ross used to upload videos while playing NBA 2K with his sister Naomi. Currently, he is one of the most followed streamers on the platform Kick. He also used to stream NBA 2K with Lebron James’ son, Bronny James, whom he met through a group called “Always Excelling”. He became close friends with Bronny, and this boosted his popularity.

In December 2020, while he was streaming with Bronny, Lebron James called his son. This moment was eventually posted all over social media and became Adin Ross’ first viral clip. Following this event, Adin has collaborated with numerous streamers and has been attracting a lot of fans. Over the years, he has also been part of a number of controversies.

In 2021, Adin was disappointed with the latest NBA 2K21. He started a campaign “#Make2kFunagain,” which ended up being one of the most popular hashtags on Twitter. In the same year, he became a part of Clout Gang 2.0 and moved into the Wizza House. He also started an “e-date” stream, which increased his followers greatly.

Recently, in August 2024, Adin interviewed US President Donald Trump. As a part of his campaign, Donald Trump and his team collaborated with the 23-year old in order to appeal to young male voters.

Donald Trump later boasted about the interview on his social media platform, Truth Social. He said, “Wow!!! Adin Ross Interview yesterday exploded, but in a very positive way! Platform set an all-time record, by far, with over 100 million views/hits. Congratulations to Adin and his wonderful mother, father, and family, who I had the pleasure to meet. Thank you also to Barron Trump for the introduction to your friend, Adin. Young people are the future of America. Those numbers are really big stuff!” claimed Trump.”

Popular YouTuber xQc, also known as Felix Lengyel, talked about Adin’s change and said that it was probably due to Andrew Tate.
