Online clash between KCI and Adin Ross
The stream, which was initially intended to discuss the release of the song, quickly spiraled into a confrontation when Ross voiced his critical opinion about Thick of It. Adin Ross, known for his unfiltered opinions, didn’t hold back in questioning the artistic direction of KSI’s music. “It’s not hitting like your older stuff,” Ross commented during the stream, referencing some of KSI’s previous hits. This candid critique clearly struck a nerve with KSI, who defended his creative choices and the evolution of his music career.
“You don’t get it. I’m trying something new, something different,” KSI retorted, pushing back against Ross’s critique. The exchange quickly escalated, with both figures raising their voices, each trying to assert their perspective. KSI, already a divisive figure for his bold personality and ventures across various entertainment mediums, stood firm, arguing that fans—and critics—should respect his decision to experiment musically.
While the argument appeared largely rooted in their different opinions about KSI’s song, it was evident that underlying personal tensions fueled the fiery dialogue. Ross, who has built a significant following for his candid, sometimes controversial takes, has had friction with several influencers, and this interaction with KSI added to his list of high-profile confrontations.
Fans of both Ross and KSI flooded social media shortly after the live stream, with many choosing sides in the debate. KSI’s supporters praised his willingness to explore new sounds, while Ross’s followers backed his right to voice an honest opinion, even if it meant confronting a major figure in the music scene.
