A claim that’s got everyone talking in the streaming world: Andrew Tate says Adin Ross handed him a whopping $1m to provide commentary at a Brand Risk event. This tidbit came up during a video that’s been making the rounds on social media, giving a peek into the financial side of streaming collaborations.
Tate, a former kickboxer turned controversial internet figure, casually mentioned this while chatting on stream. Known for his bold statements and displays of wealth, this particular claim has surprised even those acquainted with the flashy streaming scene.
Adin Ross, who moved to streaming platform Kick after getting banned from Twitch, has been linking up with controversial personalities more and more. His switch to Kick gave him the freedom to team up with folks like Tate, who’s been banned from most major social platforms.
The Brand Risk event is all about showcasing content creators too edgy for traditional platforms and sponsors. These events usually feature content that pushes the envelope, attracting viewers looking for entertainment outside the usual channels.
A lot of streaming fans are skeptical about whether Tate’s million-dollar claim is true. Considering his history of exaggeration and the absence of proof, some folks think he might be blowing it out of proportion. Others note that even in the wealthy world of streaming, that kind of fee for commentary is unreal.
For some background, Tate has had serious legal issues in Romania, where he was investigated for charges including human trafficking. These problems make him a no-go for mainstream brands, but oddly enough, they make him more appealing to certain parts of the streaming world that thrive on controversy.
The supposed payment sheds light on the complex economics of today’s internet fame, where being banned from mainstream platforms can sometimes open doors to big money in other areas. Ross, reportedly bringing in millions from his streaming ventures, seems to see these spends as worth it for the attention and views they bring.
