Adin Ross is once again facing intense scrutiny after comments from Joe Budden reignited debate around the streamer’s history of controversies.
The latest clash began after Budden addressed Ross on episode 888 of his podcast, following backlash over a livestream in which Ross encouraged Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua to perform an antisemitic gesture.
“You know who I really, really, really dislike?” Joe Budden said on the show, prompting his co-hosts to guess the identity.
After they correctly landed on Ross, Budden made his feelings clear. “I don’t f–k with that little white boy,” he said. “I don’t f–k with nothing about him. Yes, I saw that Puka s–t. That’s what has me on him.”
The remarks quickly spread online, where many users echoed Budden’s frustration and pointed to Ross’s growing list of scandals.
In recent years, the streamer has become known as much for his political stances as for his online content. Ross has openly supported President Donald Trump, frequently praising him on streams and aligning himself with conservative rhetoric. That support has sparked repeated backlash, with critics accusing Ross of embracing divisive politics and using controversy for clout.
He also made headlines for publicly supported Tory Lanez during the rapper’s legal case while slamming Megan Thee Stallion, whose testimony was central to the trial.
