Kick star Adin Ross was swatted for the second time within a week mere minutes after starting up his IRL broadcast at a golf course.

Adin Ross is one of Kick’s most popular broadcasters, having signed with the platform earlier this year in an exclusive contract.

Since then, he’s been one of the faces of the platform — but internet stardom isn’t always sunshine and roses. On August 16, Ross was swatted while training in a boxing gym in Miami, Florida, alongside fellow creator Sneako.

Ross cut the broadcast off shortly thereafter and uploaded the VOD to YouTube, showing himself walking out of the gym to speak with officers as patrol cars gathered outside, lights flashing.

That wouldn’t be the end of his troubles, by far. Just two days later, Ross decided to host another IRL stream at what appears to be a Topgolf location with fellow streamer Jynxi… but their broadcast didn’t last long.

Just minutes after booting up the stream, Ross and company were informed by an employee that they’d been swatted.

This marks the second time they’d been swatted in just two days, leaving the streamer visibly exasperated.


The attendant can be heard saying that police “came in with guns” before telling the group that they “had to go.”

“I’m sorry, bro,” Adin apologized. In another conversation, employees can be heard saying someone called in saying there was an “active shooter,” causing police to “come in, guns blazing.”

“I didn’t even get a swing in,” Ross lamented. “Why are people so weird, dude?”

This isn’t the first time Ross has been a victim of swatting, by far. In fact, the star was one of a few streamers who were swatted in a string of incidents last year, alongside broadcasters IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat.
