Adin Ross has a history of streaming with renowned rappers, but not all of these collaborations have been smooth sailing. One notable instance was his infamous Kick stream, which ended disastrously after he disbursed $2 million in cash. Another highly anticipated stream that failed to materialize was a purported co-stream with Kanye West. Despite being in the planning stages, the stream reportedly fell apart due to a disagreement over payment.
On April 23, YesJulz, an influencer and former Kanye West employee, revealed details about the planned co-stream during a live Q&A session. According to YesJulz, Adin Ross had agreed to pay Kanye West $1 million for the stream and an additional $1 million to charity. However, Ross allegedly failed to fulfill the charitable donation, leading to the cancellation of the stream.
YesJulz’s comments come amidst her ongoing legal dispute with Kanye West’s clothing brand, Yeezy. She was fired from the company in March, with Yeezy alleging that she breached her NDA agreement and claiming $8 million in damages. YesJulz has indicated that she plans to countersue and has been sharing further details of her time working with Kanye ever since.
Adin Ross has admitted that he has been trying to interview Kanye West for years due to being a big fan. The specific instance that YesJulz referred to may have been around the launch of Ye’s Vultures 1 album on February 10, 2024. Two weeks after the album’s release, Ross announced that his Kick stream with Kanye West had been canceled due to a payment dispute.
It is unclear whether YesJulz was specifically referring to this incident, as she did not provide a time frame. Adin Ross has not yet responded to her claims. Despite their ongoing dispute, Ross has stated that he would still like to have Kanye West on his stream. The offer, he says, still stands.
