THREE RIVERS, CALIFORNIA: Adin Ross had a dramatic altercation with YouTube star IShowSpeed on June 24, 2023, during a live stream. Ross had stumbled upon a clip in which IShowSpeed was discussing their friendship, urging viewers not to believe Ross's claims about their ‘fake beef’. This enraged Ross, and he immediately called IShowSpeed to confront him.
IShowSpeed, however, lashed out at Ross, accusing him of only interacting with him during live streams. The heated exchange quickly escalated, with Ross threatening to "rip out" IShowSpeed's dreadlocks. Ross went on a rant after IShowSpeed hung up, saying, “I only call you on stream? Put it on god, right now! Oh, you big-eyed monster! You f**king dread-headed dirty... Oh! I call you off-stream all the time, Darren! I call you off the..."
'It's annoying, bro!'
Earlier that day, IShowSpeed had uploaded a video in which he claimed to still be friends with Ross, despite the supposed beef between them. He urged viewers to "stop listening" to Ross's narrative and explained that he had not answered Ross's early morning phone call because he was in Portugal at the time. Ross found IShowSpeed's comments irritating and expressed his displeasure at his refusal to call back.
"Speed, are you and Adin still friends?' Bro, yes, bro! I don't - bro, yes, bro! Stop listening to that guy. Always trying to make some beef bull s**t up, bro! Bro, this guy calls me, knowing that I'm in Portugal. Calls me at 2, 3 or 4 am, and I don't answer him... '(In a mocking tone) I never call him.' Like, bro! 'I'm never calling Speed. Bro, he never answers.' Like, bro, shut up, bro! Knowing I text you and you don't text me back," he said.
In response to Adin Ross' antics, IShowSpeed expressed his displeasure, saying, "And you call me in the middle of the night. Like, it's weird, bro! I'm tired of that s**t. It's annoying, bro! That's why I don't... it's annoying!"
The Ohio native's remarks offended the Kick ambassador. Adin stated, "I told you on stream, like, six times! Hey... I'm going to take those dreads and rip out of your f**king skull! Do you understand? Bro, I'm going to f**king... oh, my god! I'm going to call him right now! I'm not scraping s**t!"
When Adin Ross heard IShowSpeed say he didn't answer his call, he smiled. The YouTube streamer should call him back, he said.
"So, you've seen the clips? Do you see it? So, listen here, you little s**t! You call me back! If you miss a call, call me back! I'll answer you, b**ch!" he said angrily.
After a few moments, Adin Ross decided to contact IShowSpeed to resolve the issue. During the live stream, however, the 18-year-old seemed annoyed. As he called him out, he said: "F**k you, b**ch! Stop calling me, b**ch! You only call me on stream. Stop calling me on stream."
When the Twitch streamer who has been banned for life heard this, he attacked Darren and appeared to threaten him. Adin Ross immediately asked for an apology and promised to call IShowSpeed off-stream: "I will f**king kill you! I will f**king kill you! Sorry, I didn't want to slip and say anything. (The streamer starts laughing) Sorry, bro. I'm sorry. I don't want him to get the best of me. Speed, I'm going to call you off-stream. You better answer me. Because I know you're - and this is what he does. He's right in his Kick app and watches. Because you have it downloaded. I know you do."
'Dreadhead dirty...'
A few internet users shared their thoughts on the heated exchange. A user wrote, "Dreadhead dirty…" while another said, "Ishowspeed calls him first during stream, before him, double standard." Someone else tweeted, "That freak adin always making everything content."
