Popular streamer Adin Ross recently responded to claims that he’s been banned from Los Angeles by affiliates of rapper Kendrick Lamar. The controversy began when rumors circulated online suggesting that Ross, known for his connections in the rap world, was not welcome in California due to his affiliations—specifically with Drake, Kendrick Lamar’s perceived rival. In a fiery response, Ross not only dismissed the allegations but made it clear that he’s unafraid of any repercussions.
Adin Ross Denies Ban from LA
On September 26, Adin Ross posted a video alongside former YouTuber Sneako, in which he firmly refuted claims of being banned from LA. The Kick streamer boldly declared that he could go to Los Angeles whenever he wanted without fear of harm. “I’m not banned from L.A.,” Ross confidently asserted in the video. “I wish somebody would. Swear to God, I’m gonna go to L.A. nobody’s gonna do sh*t to me. I promise you, bro.”
Ross further emphasized his lack of concern by reminding viewers that he had lived in Los Angeles for several years. “You think I’m scared of L.A.?” he asked rhetorically. “I lived in L.A. for years.” His message was clear—Ross had no intention of letting these alleged threats keep him away from the West Coast.

Addressing Kendrick Lamar’s Alleged Affiliate
In the same video, Ross took direct shots at the individual allegedly connected to Kendrick Lamar who had reportedly issued the ban. Without holding back, Ross threatened legal action and vowed to send his security after the man if necessary. “I’ll smack the sht out of you,” he said, before quickly adding, “Well, not me. I’m gonna have security smack the fck outta you.”
Sneako, who appeared alongside Ross, tried to lighten the mood by claiming neutrality between the West Coast gangs, joking that he liked both the Bloods and the Crips equally. He also offered his own humorous critique of Kendrick Lamar’s debut album good kid, m.A.A.d city, calling it “decent.”
However, Ross stayed focused on his target, ridiculing the person who allegedly told him to stay away from Los Angeles. He sarcastically suggested that the individual should find something more meaningful to do with his time. “Go start a family,” Ross mockingly advised. “Go play poker or chess… You’re old. Get off the internet sh*t, it’s not for you, buddy.”

Ross Stands by His Drake Affiliation
At the heart of this dispute seems to be Ross’s ongoing support for Drake, whom he publicly favors in the long-standing Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar debate. Ross made it clear that his loyalty to Drake is unwavering, even if it fuels the conflict with Kendrick Lamar’s affiliates.
In a separate stream, Ross took his threats a step further by vowing to take legal action against the individual who claimed to be a Kendrick Lamar associate. “Go to jail for the rest of your life,” Ross threatened. “I got the best lawyers of all time baby, let’s do it.”
While this feud may seem exaggerated, it speaks to the high-stakes world of online influence where streamers like Ross have become intertwined with the rap industry. As one of the leading platforms for hyping new music and teasing exclusive content, Ross holds a unique position within the culture. His affiliation with major artists like Drake has elevated his profile but also seems to be attracting unwanted attention from rival camps.
For now, Adin Ross is standing firm, denying the supposed ban from Los Angeles and refusing to back down from those challenging him online. The conflict between Ross, his supporters, and Kendrick Lamar’s affiliates may continue to brew, but one thing is certain: Ross isn’t scared of LA or the rumors circulating about him.
As always, the ever-controversial streamer is quick to respond to his critics, making sure his side of the story is heard loud and clear. Whether this will escalate further remains to be seen, but Adin Ross appears ready for whatever comes next.
