This is like a month after that rapper showed up on his stream for like 5 minutes, barely said anything, and then left with a huge bag of cash.
Basically got robbed on stream by a famous person. And smiled while it happened.
Adin Ross has been taking some Ls.
I don’t get what’s happening here. What’s happening? Can you explain? Who are these people?
The dude running the poorly lit stream is adin Ross. Idk who he is really, some famous streamer. Someone else maybe chime in on who tf he is and how he got famous?
He got Playboy carti, a current famous rapper, to come on his stream. I guess he had to buy this rapper a Ferrari and offer him a bag of $2M cash to get him to agree to come on his stream. The link I provided is the rapper showing up on stream to take his bag of cash, say basically nothing, and then leave.
The guy running this stream is the same dumbo that idolizes Tate. Tate is a guy who capitalized on incels until he got arrested for trafficking humans. He's out of jail for now. I guess he still isn't fully off the hook, because I guess he was about to flee to Romania illegally. He told adin Ross in a private communication.
Same guy that got politely robbed by a famous rapper on stream very shortly thereafter accidentally foiled the plans of a wannabe fugitive in stream.
2 million dollars? That can’t be real. Holy shit
The CEO of the streaming platform was participating in the stream, I think this visit was meant to be a publicity stunt to drum up more interest in the platform which is trying to become an alternative to Twitch. It’s investor money that was lost here, not the streamer’s money.
Did the money really get stolen though, or was it "stolen"?
A famous person turns up for 6 minutes to a poorly lit room, wearing dark clothes and a mask, says "music 2024" a lot, DOESNT say the platforms name (like he was asked), and fucks off.
If i was paying a celeb a shitload of money for a publicity appearance, i would be wanting more value for my money.
If it was $2m, thats $350k per minute.
Usher is $1m for an hour. 50 Cent is $600k per song. All of which is performance.
Turning up for a photo-op should be much cheaper.
And the quality of that stream is attrocious
I know absolutely nothing about Carti, but what if he did that shit on purpose? -Doesn't like Adin Ross for one of the many legit reasons I've been seeing people listing. (Idk shit about Adin either) -Is told he'll get paid $2m to show up -Does the absolute least, still gets paid -Leave
Back when this happened people were giving Carti shit. But after learning all this stuff about Adin, it seems Carti pulled a pro move. Idk if Carti is also a complete scumbag, but pulling that shit on Adin was deserved.
Honestly, I think it just boils down to Carti being an asshole to people around him and Adin being a naïve idiot lmao.
No really, Adin with all his cash could easily have an employee just to handle his interactions with artists, agreements and whatever, yet he's over here handing out racks in a duffel bag?
Carti is obviously in the wrong but I won't shed a single tear for Adin lol
Tate fled to Romania ages ago, he was trying to flee from Romania. He has the uncanny ability to piss off every country he resides in. Also im pretty sure hes wanted in the UK.
To be fair, Playboy Carti has very weird media requests and rarely ever does interviews. Adin was desperate to compete with the likes of other streamers, like Kai Cenat who's had crazy poplar rappers like Nicki Minaj and Offset on. Tried to ride that wave and got fell off the surfboard.
please do not take this as support for the kid, just wanted to add some more info
