Adin Ross blames old community for Sketch controversy, says he only deleted X community to get unbanned
In a recent livestream, Adin Ross opened up about the drama surrounding his former X Community,
AR Loyals
, and their role in uncovering Sketch's controversial past. Reflecting on the incident and his forced disbandment of the group to regain his Twitch access, Adin admitted he had no idea his own fans were behind the viral leak — and if it were up to him, the community would still be active today.
'It Was My Old Community That Did That'
Adin Ross didn't mince words when he addressed how the internet discovered details about Sketch's past, specifically, the viral revelation that Sketch had previously been involved in LGBTQ+ adult content. The topic exploded in July 2024, but only recently did Adin learn that his own followers had dug up the information.
'I didn't even know this. Konvy told me,'
he said in disbelief.
'It was my old comm that did that.'
Adin, clearly taken aback, explained that the situation was a wake-up call.
'Once I found out you guys could really get your hands on literally anything, it's kinda scary. Really, really scary.'
'I Would've Never Deleted AR Loyals'
The discussion didn't stop at the Sketch situation. Adin went on to reveal a key piece of behind-the-scenes drama: the real reason he deleted AR Loyals. According to him, it was never a personal choice — it was a condition Twitch gave him to lift his ban.
'Not wrong..would have never deleted..if it wasn't for getting unbanned,'
Adin said.
He emphasised that toxicity wasn't exclusive to his group and that many streamer communities exhibit similar, if not worse, behavior.
'It doesn't make sense,'
he added.
'That was kinda my way to get it (my account) back. Then I got it back.'
His tone carried a mix of frustration and resignation, revealing that the deletion of AR Loyals wasn't a moral decision, but a business one.
'It Sucks Because I Had No Choice'
Adin's final thoughts on the matter were blunt and emotional.
'That's what sucks,'
he said.
'Because I had no choice but to do that.'
The incident highlights the tension creators often face between community loyalty and platform policies. Adin made it clear that his bond with his audience runs deep, even if it comes with unexpected consequences.

'It wasn't worth': Taylor Swift dumps Blake Lively as Travis Kelce joins her in permanent break from Hollywood couple
Taylor Swift is done with Blake Lively and her drama (Getty Images) In a shocking celebrity fallout, Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have reportedly ended their longtime friendship with Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds . According to insider sources, the Eras Tour singer has grown increasingly disillusioned with Lively's drama—especially following the legal chaos surrounding the "It Ends With Us" movie and Blake's co-star, Justin Baldoni . This once-glamorous friendship, adored by fans and paparazzi alike, has now dissolved into silence, unfollows, and a sense of betrayal that neither Swift nor Kelce appear ready to forgive. Blake Lively's legal feud sparks the end of an A-list friendship The tension reportedly began after Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation. In response, Baldoni counter-sued and subpoenaed Taylor Swift—a move that blindsided the singer, who had zero involvement with the film. Taylor's team was quick to clear the air, stating: 'Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see 'It Ends With Us' until weeks after its public release.' Following this, Baldoni's legal team dropped the subpoena. But the damage, it seems, had already been done. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like "밤새 나던 종아리 쥐가 사라졌어요!', 막힌 혈관 찌꺼기 싹~ 청소한 "이것.' 대박이네!! 카이스트 건강비결 더 알아보기 Undo A source close to Swift told the Daily Mail that Taylor now recognizes all the 'red flags' in her friendship with Lively. 'When Taylor looks back at their friendship, she realises it wasn't worth all the stress Blake put her through,' the insider shared. 'She can now see all the red flags that should have been a warning to her.' Even Travis Kelce, who once shared friendly ties with Reynolds, has reportedly distanced himself. He recently unfollowed the Deadpool star on Instagram, signaling a united front with Swift. 'Taylor and Travis are disgusted with Blake and Ryan and how they tried to use Taylor in their fight against Justin Baldoni,' the insider added. According to those close to the couple, this break is not temporary.'They're vowing their break from the acting couple is permanent,' the source said. With her whirlwind tour, growing relationship with Kelce, and constant media scrutiny, Taylor Swift is choosing peace—and dropping the drama, no matter how star-studded it may be.

DDG vs Reggie (Lil Rodney Son) drama explained: All about the viral controversy between the two rappers
Image via @PontiacMadeDDG & @girlhefunny_1/X The internet's latest Twitch-tainment war is between none other than DDG and Reggie, aka Lil Rodney Son. What started as a casual reaction to a DDG album has spiraled into a full-blown back-and-forth involving music, relationships, fatherhood, and even the loss of family members. And yes, it's messy. Here's everything you need to know! It All Started With a Reaction Clip Reggie was doing what most streamers do: reacting to viral content. During a Twitch stream, he saw a TikTok clip of DDG discussing how people were faking support for his music. Apparently, DDG felt Reggie was throwing shade, calling his album mid, even though he'd previously praised it. DDG clapped back on his own stream, saying: 'You just listened to my old said it was hard, bro. Like, stop faking, bro.' He even told Reggie to 'watch full clips' before speaking on his name. Reggie Fires Back — And He's Not Holding Back Reggie wasn't here to play either. He doubled down saying he never said the whole album was good , just that maybe 'one or two tracks were decent.' He also called DDG out for being too pressed about a relationship situation that had nothing to do with him. His words? 'You're a grown a** man, bro. Like, why are you even worried about another man's relationship?' And then came the spice: 'Sometimes you got to mind your business.' Reggie Brings Up DDG's Family And It Gets Real Personal Just when we thought this might stay music-related, Reggie brought up DDG's son, Halo, and his relationship with Halle Bailey. In a now-viral moment, Reggie said: 'Where your son at, n***a?' He mocked DDG for being involved in Twitch drama while having father duties. He even said DDG would have to 'live with this s**t for the rest of your life.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beachfront Living in Mumbai at Sunteck Beach Residences Sunteck Realty Learn More Undo At this point, it was no longer about music — it was about life choices, family, and deep personal stuff. DDG Goes Nuclear From Italy DDG wasn't about to let that slide. From an IRL Twitch stream in Italy, he launched a brutal response with the title: 'REGGIE DAD GONE.' He told his viewers: 'I've lost all respect for that little a** boy… You bring my family into it, I'll bring yours into it.' Yeah, he went scorched earth. The gloves were off. No limits. Reggie Responds (Again), But Chooses Restraint Despite being furious, Reggie said he wouldn't go as far as dissing the dead. 'Mentally, you gotta protect your peace, gang.' He also called out DDG for using his late father as a background on stream, calling it 'lame' and 'unnecessary.' In an era where clout is currency, this feud blurred lines. What started as a music reaction ended up dragging in kids, dead parents, and real-life wounds. And while some fans are calling it 'content,' others think it went too far.

"I never needed anybody, they needed me": Mizkif disses OTK and FaZe, says he's done being the nice guy
(Image via @Scubaryan_/X) In a recent stream that's now going viral, Twitch star Mizkif went completely off the rails. In a no-holds-barred rant, he dropped a loud and clear 'f**k' to pretty much everyone - FaZe Clan, OTK, and even the wider streaming community. With raw honesty and zero filters, Miz declared he's done playing nice, and he's riding solo from here on out. 'Fk Streamers, Fk Everybody.' During a casual Just Chatting stream with his friend Jess, Mizkif didn't hold back. The topic? Online hate and his ever-controversial reputation. Jess wondered if Mizkif could tone things down and 'get less hate.' Mizkif's reply? Nuclear. 'I'm so far in the deep end, I might as well keep swimming... f**k streamers, f**k all of them. F**k everybody. F**k FaZe Clan. F**k the Fourth Floor. F**k OTK. F**k everybody. I never needed anybody, they needed me.' Mizkif straight-up said he never needed anyone and that the support he gave others was never returned. 'They Needed Me' – Mizkif Declares Independence What hit hardest was Miz's realization (or maybe just decision) to stop pretending. He called out the fakeness in the industry and said he's no longer interested in pleasing anyone. 'I was always supporting them, but they never supported me. So fk all these people, bro. I'm a 30-year-old man. I don't give a fk anymore.' From trying to rebuild his rep to fully rejecting the clout machine, Mizkif's message is clear: he's over the politics and ready to be unapologetically himself. Fallout from Yugi's Savage Comment Earlier that same day, Mizkif was already spiraling after a brutal jab from fellow Twitch streamer Yugi. The two were goofing around when Miz mentioned he'd given away half a million dollars. Yugi's comeback? 'Wow! Not even that was good enough to keep your relationship intact.' The punchline hit way too close to home, and Miz ended his stream almost immediately after. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The vibe had clearly shifted, and fans could tell something was off. X Comments Push Him Over the Edge Shortly after the clip went viral, an X user chimed in with a jab of their own, claiming Mizkif had 'gotten soft.' Miz didn't let that slide either. He fired back with: 'facts miz cant take it anymore dudes cringe since 2020.' Seems like that was the final straw. The mix of online hate, streamer drama, and personal jabs has pushed Miz to a breaking point, and now he's pushing back harder. What's Next for Mizkif? Whether this was a one-time vent or a full-on rebrand, one thing's clear — Mizkif's not pretending anymore. He's done with streamer politics, done playing the nice guy, and ready to be his unfiltered self. And while that might ruffle a few feathers, it just might be the most honest version of Mizkif we've seen in years.
