The ongoing tension between popular streamers Kai Cenat and Adin Ross continues to escalate, as Ross has now publicly responded to Cenat’s recent comments about distancing himself from the fellow content creator.
In a livestream that quickly gained traction on social media, Ross appeared visibly frustrated as he addressed allegations of racism among his community. “It’s not just my chat,” Ross said, seemingly defending himself from the criticism that his platform tolerates or encourages racially insensitive behavior.
Ross then mentioned a fellow streamer named “Ray”, accusing him of making “monkey noises.”
He also addressed Cenat’s comments about a phone call he received from Ross’ manager, Taav Cooperman, where he allegedly used the N-word several times. Ross called Cooperman on stream, but his manager claimed that he didn’t remember making such a remark, and if it did happen, it wasn’t meant in a malicious way.
“I don’t know it was last year, on your birthday,” Cooperman replied when Ross asked him whether he said the things Cenat claims on his livestream, and apologized.
Fans are calling Ross out for defending his manager’s poor behavior and are demanding that Cooperman take accountability for his actions. They also accused Ross of trying to throw another streamer under the bus, instead of apologizing for crossing the line.
