Controversial Twitch streamer Adin Ross has allegedly sent a thinly-veiled message to YouTube creator Jake Lucky, telling him to “Keep Yourself Safe” – or “KYS,” an internet acronym for “Kill Yourself.”
This comes after Lucky posted a video to Twitter exposing Ross for streaming NSFW content on his Kick account to his viewers. Despite this breaking Kick’s terms of service, Ross’ account remains active on the site at the time of writing.
Adin Ross reportedly tells Jake Lucky to “Keep Yourself Safe” in veiled Twitter attack
Following the release of the clip (via Twitter), which shows Ross streaming adult content to his viewers, Lucky alleges that Ross sent the fiery message to him through a private Twitter DM, or “Direct Message.” The way in which the message is structured, despite saying to “Keep Yourself Safe,” suggests that the real intent is to tell Lucky to kill himself.
Lucky responded by posting another clip, this time of Ross training in boxing, which has been the subject of much ridicule due to his technique. “Why is he so stiff?” one follower asked, adding that “it takes one Google search to see how boxers train using this technique.”
One of the main concerns about Ross streaming the NSFW videos is the age of his viewers. While Kick’s terms of service state you have to be 18 or older to use the site, there isn’t an age-gating system in place that would prevent any potential underage members from signing up.
Ross hasn’t made any public comment about the clip, but it could land him in trouble with Twitch. Despite the moment taking place outside of the streaming site, their terms of service do note that any bad conduct outside of their platform can still have an adverse effect on a Twitch user’s account.
This comes after xQc, real name Félix Lengyel, said he thought Ross was going down an “unhealthy rabbit hole” in “trying really hard to emulate Andrew Tate.”
