Adin Ross confronts rumors he canceled Lieutenant Dan’s $100k Kick offer

As a longtime fan of Adin Ross and his authentic approach to streaming, I must say I was initially taken aback by the recent rumors swirling around his interaction with Lieutenant Dan. However, after reading Adin’s clarification on the matter, I feel relieved and impressed by his commitment to standing by his word.


Adin Ross, one of the co-owners, clarified that he did not retract his proposal to popular TikTok personality Lieutenant Dan, which originally included a new boat and a Kick contract, amidst rumors suggesting otherwise.

On October 9, 2024, as Hurricane Milton was about to hit Florida’s coastline, a 54-year-old man named Joseph Malinowski became widely known on the popular social media platform TikTok.

Throughout the entire storm, a man known as ‘Lieutenant Dan’, a moniker inspired by the character from Forrest Gump, chose to ride out the tempest aboard his 20-foot sailboat. This decision left online spectators in a state of astonishment.

Amidst the chaos of Hurricane Milton, I, as a dedicated fan, found myself amazed when Kick streamer Adin Ross introduced a gentleman onto his live stream. This individual was not only offered a brand-new boat but also a deal with Kick to broadcast his future adventures! What an incredible moment it was witnessing such generosity unfold in real time.

Ross mentioned that they will cover the cost of a boat for you, priced between $50,000 and $100,000. Additionally, they will set up a full-time streaming agreement with Kick, allowing you to broadcast your entire sea journeys live.

Following his conversation with Dan, Ross uncovered a history of run-ins with the law involving the police for this individual, which left him quite surprised by the revelation.

On social media, there were whispers suggesting that the video clip of Adin appearing surprised might imply that the offer extended to Lt Dan was supposedly retracted by the streamer.

As a gamer, I stumbled upon a buzzing topic recently when Ohthatsnesh, a popular TikToker, shared a video featuring Malinowski on October 10. In this video, he expressed that, to his knowledge, Adin had taken back the offer. The video quickly skyrocketed, igniting a wave of comments from viewers, all sharing their thoughts on this intriguing situation.

On the contrary, Adin swiftly addressed the speculations via a post on an additional profile on X platform, clarifying that he had never indicated he was withdrawing the offer.

Immediately following my reaction to Lieutenant Dan in that clip, I’ve never suggested I was revoking the offer or deal or boat – it seems the internet enjoys misinterpreting my words.

Initially, everyone is considered innocent until there’s solid evidence to the contrary. Frankly, I’m not easily swayed. Until I have concrete facts, evidence, and proof, my opinion remains unchanged.

Immediately following my reaction to Lieutenant Dan, let me clarify that I did not imply or suggest that I would be withdrawing the offer/deal/boat. It seems the internet enjoys exaggerating my words and painting an unflattering picture of me.

Regarding when Lieutenant Dan will debut on Kick, it’s still uncertain at this time… but rest assured, he won’t be a household name that instantly appears on the Stake-owned streaming platform.

On October 5, 2024, Hayley Welch, affectionately known as “Hawk Tuah girl,” conducted her initial live broadcast on the platform, sharing her exploration of Dreamhack’s venue during the event.
