Adin Ross has returned to Twitch after a two-year ban, reigniting discussions about potential collaborations with top streamers on the platform. However, some of his fellow streamers are skeptical about his chances of working with big names like Pokimane.
Ross faced a permanent suspension from Twitch in February 2023, but during his time away, he became a co-owner of Kick and advocated for that platform. Despite his affiliation with Kick, he has shown interest in re-engaging with the Twitch community, culminating in the reinstatement of his account in March 2025.
Although his unban has allowed him to return to Twitch, many creators remain doubtful about the feasibility of collaborations with him, particularly with significant figures like Pokimane.
Adin Ross aims for Pokimane collab after Twitch return
During an April 1 broadcast with xQc and Sneako, Ross proposed the idea of collaborating with Pokimane, who is renowned for being one of the most-followed personalities on Twitch.
xQc quickly dismissed this notion, expressing skepticism about Pokimane’s willingness to partner with Ross.
“Felix, I really want to do a stream with Pokimane,” Ross mentioned. “Being unbanned now, do you think there’s a chance?”
“I doubt it,” xQc replied. “People will hold her accountable forever. They’ll claim she’s endorsing something negative, and she’ll never overcome that association.”
Ross further speculated about the possibility of Pokimane streaming with Sneako, who echoed xQc’s doubts over her likely collaboration with Ross.
Notably, Pokimane has been vocal about her disapproval of Kick, stating that she would never livestream on the platform due to its ties with Stake, an online gambling service. She articulated her concerns regarding the ethical implications of promoting a site she believes could lead to gambling addiction.
“I wouldn’t choose to stream on Kick because the platform is backed by online crypto gambling sites that are illegal in many countries and seem quite dubious. I don’t want to lead my audience into a potential addiction,” she emphasized in 2024.
While there were rumors that Pokimane might consider Kick after her Twitch contract ended, she has steadfastly maintained her distance from the platform.
Moreover, Ross has previously criticized Pokimane, accusing her of being overly judgmental towards others in the streaming community, which adds another layer of complexity to their potential collaboration.
For now, the possibility of Pokimane agreeing to a stream with Ross remains uncertain. Ross has also expressed a desire to mend fences with Hasan, indicating his eagerness to resolve past conflicts.
