Adin Ross says he'll host new streamer awards with Amouranth
Adin Ross has seemingly found a way to push his long-teased streamer awards idea into reality, and it’s by bringing fellow popular Kick streamer Amouranth into the fold.
Each year, QTCinderella and her streamer awards go live and immediately drag viewers and streamers alike into drama controversy. This year wasn’t any different. The backlash was quick once fans noticed that Kick-exclusive streamers were seemingly shut out of the nominations entirely. Even with that outrage in mind, some held onto a sliver of hope because Adin Ross had previously teased his own streamer awards show, promising it would happen “right away” in 2025 with the support of Kick. However, he later admitted that he couldn’t secure the funding to make it happen.
Now, he’s stirred the pot again by revealing that his streamer awards might actually happen after all, and with a new partner helping to bring it into reality.
Will Adin Ross have his own streamer awards?
According to Adin Ross, he is now working with Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa and Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt to bring forward a new version of streamer awards that would be “non-biased.”

The controversy around QTCinderella’s streamer awards hit a fever pitch when Asmongold publicly offered her $100,000 if she could prove that its nominations weren’t rigged. Adin Ross then doubled down by adding another $100,000 to the pot for the same proof.
This all came after QTCinderella insisted that the process for her 2025 streamer awards event is fully unbiased and that some creators who didn’t make the nomination cut simply didn’t get enough votes from their own fans.
But Adin and Asmongold haven’t budged from their stances. Fans were hoping Adin’s own awards show would finally spotlight more Kick streamers, especially after he promoted it back in February. Instead, his recent fallout with Kick co-owner Ed Craven seems to have spilled into the project. According to Adin, the Kick co-founder doesn’t want to fully fund the awards, leaving the entire plan in limbo yet again.
But Ross now says that he quickly found new support from Amouranth, the OnlyFans model and risqué Kick streamer who has reportedly signed on to help him bring the awards to life. The arrangement also involves her husband, Nick Lee, as well as Asmongold.
If these awards actually do happen, Adin says they won’t be branded as “Kick streamer awards” and will instead include anyone he considers deserving, regardless of platform. He’s also made it clear that even controversial creators would get a spot on his show, provided that their content warrants it.
Whether it ever materializes is anyone’s guess, since Adin Ross has a history of bold claims that fizzle out. Not too long ago, he insisted he’d move all of his major content back to Twitch, a threat that ultimately went nowhere. But his awards idea has pulled in plenty of support from fans and fellow streamers thus far, and if others such as Amouranth and Asmongold are committed to the project, there could be a better chance of it actually coming off.
