Permanently banned Twitch streamer Adin Ross has vehemently denied using the N-word in a live stream after he was accused of using the slur.
The 22-year-old Andrew Tate supporter, whose meteoric multimillion-dollar rise has sparked controversy in recent years, is accused of airing the insult on his popular e-dating show of the same name on Wednesday.
He was joined by OnlyFans star Autumn Renae as he reportedly told her, ‘N**** I got you.’ I got you.’
Ross, who was banned from streaming platform Twitch in February for “hateful conduct” on his channel, denied using the racial slur when viewers claimed they heard the vile word.
“Bro, I swear to God…I didn’t say it, bro,” said Ross, who first rose to fame by livestreaming the NBA 2K video game.

Adin Ross, 22, is in trouble after allegedly saying the “N-word” on Wednesday’s stream. It comes months after the streamer – who has made more than $20 million posting content on Twitch since the pandemic – was removed from the platform in February over hateful content
The Andrew Tate supporter appeared to vent the insult on his popular show of the same name on Wednesday after filming for pornographic content creator Autumn Renae. When viewers drew attention to the remark, he played the clip in question to defend himself
During Wednesday’s show, Ross livestreamed on the Kick platform – now his go-to spot after being ousted from Twitch after multiple warnings.
He was joined by adult performer Renae in the role of his date. At one point in the episode, she performed a 360-degree spin to give the streamer a better look at her net worth.
Ross, in turn, responds with his own rapid rotation – followed by a brazen boast that many later claimed contained the insult. Within seconds, thousands of viewers in the video’s chat drew attention to this, spurring Ross to defend himself.
The comment in question, which Ross now denies, came after he complied with Renae’s request for a quick lap.
“N****, I got you. I got you,” Ross reportedly said in the clip, to the surprise of viewers in the chat.
“You know, I just wear…I wear some cool, relaxed stuff.” “Simple, you know, just cool,” Ross continues, describing his simple attire of shorts and a t-shirt.
Though there was an uproar in the chat, none of the influencers seemed to take notice of the remark – which was eerily made when the Florida native was first accused of saying the insult in November.
Since then – after Twitch objected to the YouTuber’s refusal to respond to hateful comments from his fans in his videos’ chats – Ross has switched to Kick, having built a more than $20 million empire with the former in three years .
Within weeks, another clip of Ross laughing while his friend repeatedly used the N-word went viral – prompting further criticism and questions about Ross’ racial beliefs.
The latest incident is now prompting more backlash – and heated debate over whether Ross actually voiced the insult.
When confronted with his alleged comment from viewers in chat, Ross claimed he didn’t know what they were talking about – he expressed surprise and even laughed at the allegations.
“Yo! They say I said it, dude!’ He tells his friend and fellow streamer Rangesh Mutama – better known as “N3on” – before playing the problematic snippet. “On TikTok!” he elaborates.

The comment, while unconfirmed, was made in an eerily similar way to when the Florida native was first caught using the insult in November
Mutama responded by urging Ross to play the clip that happened minutes earlier, telling viewers that “he knows the way.” [Ross] speaks” and could thus tell whether he “said the N-word”.
Ross then urged viewers to produce the segment allegedly containing the insult, telling them, “Let me see the clip.”
They eventually obeyed, which resulted in Ross and Mutama watching the clip live on air.
Watching what Ross said, Mutama immediately agreed with fans who claimed that Ross said the insult and told his friend, “Jesus Christ bro!” You said it rudely! Play it again.’
However, Ross continued to refute those claims — even after being confronted with the footage.
‘Bro I swear to god… N3on I didn’t say it bro!’ I didn’t!’ Ross said before the footage went viral. The streamer instead insisted he misheard and actually said, “And I got you.”
“I honestly said so,” Ross exclaimed – while viewers in the chat remained skeptical.
“I said that… N3on, I said, ‘And I have you.’ It says, ‘And I have you.’
Ross offered to slow down the snippet, played the clip a second time to prove his point before bursting out laughing when he heard what he said – which has yet to be confirmed.
Ross continues to deny saying the word.
The controversy comes months after many of the relatively new streamer’s followers migrated to Kick with him after he imposed his Twitch ban – which was already Ross’ eighth foray into the platform for problematic content.
Despite claims from several of his fans, Ross has denied saying the insult. He joined Kick late last year after building an empire worth more than $20 million on Twitch in just a few years
Streamer colleague Rangesh “N3on” was present at the exchange. Playing the clip, Rangesh claimed Ross said the word
During the couple’s date, OnlyFans creator Renae didn’t respond to the unintelligible statement
Followers were also quick to point out the apparent glitch on social media, adding to the backlash the streamer was already facing over hateful content and slurs on the show
The insult in question, if actually uttered, could tarnish Ross’ image, which has already been battered by a seemingly endless barrage of controversy and his aforementioned friendship with outspoken misogynist and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate
In comparison, Kick leaves much more leeway for adult content and gives him more freedom with racist and profane language exchanges on the platform.
However, the insult in question, if actually uttered, could tarnish Ross’ image, which has already been battered by an endless spate of controversy and his aforementioned relationship with outspoken misogynist – and alleged sex trafficker – Tate.
The polarizing couple met last year and released a video in December, alongside several other videos, in which they talked about life playing chess.
This unlikely partnership has also been the subject of scrutiny as it gave Tate a platform after he was rejected by several big-name social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter.
Ross has not commented on the human trafficking allegations his friend is currently facing on social media.
