Kick streamer Adin Ross (787,000 followers) is once again the center of attention after receiving a verbal warning from Kick CEO Edward “Eddie” Craven. This incident occurred on his in-real-life (IRL) stream (November 6) when he was seen driving and texting while escorted by police cars.
Besides being a dangerous act in itself, texting or talking on the phone while driving is also punishable on some other streaming sites like Twitch. This was echoed by Kick’s CEO, who, according to one of Adin’s friends, said:
“You’re in trouble…(for) using your phone while driving. Yes, Eddie called me.’

“What was the actual problem?” – Adin Ross surprised after CEO Kick warns
Adin Ross has a history of controversial actions during his live broadcasts, which have consistently drawn criticism. This latest incident is no exception as it was reported that the streamer was caught driving during his recent IRL stream.
The streamer and co-owner of Kick was escorted out by a few police vehicles during his stream. However, he also streamed himself with his phone while driving.
Eddie, who likely witnessed this behavior, immediately contacted one of his friends to emphasize the importance of refraining from such actions, especially in the presence of law enforcement officers. In response to the warning, Adin said:
“Really? What was the real problem?”
His friend shouted:
“Don’t use your phone while driving.”
Adin continued:
“F**k. Is that illegal?”
Another fellow passenger weighed in:
“To be honest, we can’t stream now that we have a police escort and use your phone…”
Before this particular incident, Adin Ross’ mother had to address his behavior when she noticed he was speeding excessively.
Fans react to the clip
The clip was quickly shared to the popular r/LivestreamFail subreddit, drawing widespread criticism from Adin Ross. This is what the community said:
Adin Ross isn’t the only streamer who suffered consequences for their reckless driving. In August 2023, Yousef “Fousey” was banned from Twitch after he tried to drive recklessly, play loud music in the car and stream his actions at the same time.
Fousey, who is also a streamer on Kick, was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for more than two months after a recent outburst in front of police during one of his streams. He has since announced that he plans to resume streaming sometime this month.
