Adin Ross gets heated at “fake” Pokimane in fiery Super Bowl LIX rant

by

Adin Ross criticized Pokimane for what he perceived as a dishonest and distorted response to Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance.

After Kendrick Lamar’s groundbreaking Super Bowl half-time performance in 2025, numerous celebrities and live streamers voiced their views about the event.

Among the streamers who have faced criticism for commenting on Kendrick’s appearance, one notable figure is Pokimane. Following her statement that “only non-white individuals” enjoyed the entertainment, many have spoken up in opposition to her viewpoint.

Initially, xQc criticized Pokimane’s interpretation of the show, calling it an “exaggerated assessment.” However, his remarks seemed straightforward, but Adin Ross, another streamer on Kick, responded to her critique with a more venomous reaction.

Adin Ross calls Pokimane’s Super Bowl reaction criticism “twisted”

While streaming on Kick, Ross proclaimed, “I don’t give a f*ck” before calling out Poki directly.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m really disappointed in you, Pokimane. It seems like you’re pretending to be someone you’re not. Your actions appear to be manipulative and unfair. Now, let me clarify something, Pokimane. You seem to focus on interacting with white people because, unfortunately, that’s what the audience you’re trying to reach predominantly consists of.

As a fellow gamer, I couldn’t help but weigh in on the recent buzz about Poki’s take on Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show. To be honest, I was a bit taken aback when she claimed that only “white people” didn’t appreciate it. I mean, as someone who enjoys music across various genres and cultures, I found the performance absolutely electrifying! It’s important to remember that our diverse perspectives make the gaming and streaming community so unique, and I believe we should strive for open-mindedness when discussing art and entertainment.

Ross stated, “It’s not possible to face cancellation for criticizing white people,” followed by a question, “Why is it necessary to always bring race into the discussion?

As a dedicated fan, I found myself squarely in the midst of Adin Ross’ critique of Pokimane. His convictions seemed to reach a boiling point not long after, as he vowed to continue expressing his honest thoughts and opinions without reservation. In other words, he made it clear that he wouldn’t hold back from speaking his mind or voicing what was on his heart.

“Keep it to yourself *itch, holy f**k,” the Kick streamer yelled.

Fresh from his Grammy victory, Kendrick Lamar didn’t back down from his ongoing dispute with rapper Drake, causing a significant stir online when he performed his highly-praised diss song “Not Like Us” at the event.

Poki (Pokimane) hasn’t responded yet to either xQc or Ross regarding the recent criticism she faced over her comment. But rest assured, we’ll let you know promptly if she chooses to address the situation later on.
