Adin Ross just dropped a bombshell that’s got the Hip-Hop community talking. The white Kick streamer straight-up admitted he uses the N-word when rapping along to songs, and he’s not backing down from it.

During his November 28 stream, Ross made the confession that’s now going viral across social media.

“I’m not going to lie to you guys. I’m not fake. Whenever I listen to rap music… there’s times where I say it. But me not saying it on stream, like, I have rapped songs before saying the word. I’m not a pu**y, and I’ll tell you guys that,” Ross told his viewers.

But Ross didn’t stop there. He doubled down by claiming every other streamer does the same thing, saying, “I believe that every single streamer f###### says it… pretty sure everyone f###### says it.”

For streamers who deny using the slur, Ross had harsh words: “they’re full of f###### b#######.”

This latest admission adds fuel to the already-burning fire around Ross and racial controversies. The 25-year-old streamer, who’s of Jewish heritage, has been at the center of multiple N-word incidents that have damaged his relationships within the Hip-Hop community.

The most damaging controversy came earlier this year when Kai Cenat revealed that Ross’s manager, Taav, called him the N-word during a heated phone call about Cenat’s McDonald’s commercial deal.

Cenat explained this incident was a major reason he distanced himself from Ross, saying the manager went on a racist tirade after he declined to collaborate with the Kick streamer.

Ross has also faced backlash from established Hip-Hop artists. Chief Keef previously reacted to Ross using the N-word during streams, and Sexyy Red has also addressed the streamer’s problematic language.

These incidents have created a pattern that’s hard to ignore in the Hip-Hop community. The issue of white fans using the N-word isn’t new in Hip-Hop culture.

Kendrick Lamar famously called out a white fan at his concert for saying the slur while performing “M.A.A.D City,” stopping the show to address the inappropriate behavior.

What makes Ross’s admission particularly problematic is his platform and influence.

As a prominent streamer with millions of followers, his casual attitude toward using racial slurs normalizes this behavior for his predominantly young, white audience.

His claim that “everyone does it” attempts to deflect responsibility rather than acknowledge the harm. The Hip-Hop community has consistently made it clear that the N-word isn’t for everyone to use, regardless of musical context.

Artists have repeatedly explained that singing along to lyrics doesn’t give non-Black people permission to use the slur, yet Ross seems to dismiss these boundaries entirely.

Ross’s “I’m not fake” defense misses the point entirely. Being authentic doesn’t mean ignoring the cultural significance and pain associated with racial slurs.

This controversy comes as Ross continues trying to rebuild his reputation in Hip-Hop circles.

Adin Ross’s casual admission and defiant attitude show he’s either unwilling or unable to understand why his behavior harms the culture he profits from.

Republic Records has stepped into the world of gaming with a major new venture and Houston’s own Sauce Walka is a player in an unexpected way.

The label has announced a strategic partnership with developer Nothing Projects Interactive to launch OnlyHands, a real-time mobile fighting game inspired by the cult legacy of Def Jam: Fight for NY. The title is slated for release in late 2025.

Sauce Walka isn’t just a featured character, he’s part of the creative DNA.

“Proud to announce the future/present of Hip-Hop gaming,” Sauce Walka wrote on Instagram. “We have been begging for a video game like this since Def Jam Vendetta & Def Jam: Fight for NY… now it’s finally here… ‘OnlyHands’ is the elite Hip-Hop (open world) fighting game featuring the industry’s top artist & most influentially cultured figures in the RAPGAME. Real hands will be THROWN.”

Walka appears prominently in early trailers and has publicly stated he is working with the development team, injecting the game with his signature blend of energy, humor and authenticity. His involvement has already helped push OnlyHands beyond a typical music-industry tie-in toward something fans are beginning to view as a full-scale cultural event.

Republic has not yet confirmed which artists will appear as playable fighters, but the roster potential is massive. The label’s lineup includes Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi, Ariana Grande, Lorde, Taylor Swift and others.

Avery Lipman, Founder of Republic Records and Vice Chairman/COO of Republic Collective, said the partnership represents a deliberate push into digital culture.

“They’ve created a new paradigm with OnlyHands,” Lipman said. “It’s a seamless platform for the integration of gaming, music, and culture.”

Nothing Projects Interactive describes OnlyHands as a “music-first” ecosystem built on four pillars:
• Combat-driven streaming, where match victories trigger real music streams
• Playable artist avatars designed around each performer’s style and identity
• Instant content drops, allowing artists to push new moves, cosmetics, or tracks in real time
• A connected fan economy, merging streams, in-game rewards, and digital purchases

CEO Zane Comer said the intention is not to blend industries but to establish a new medium.
“Gaming and music were never truly separate—they just hadn’t found their native form,” Comer explained. “What we’re building isn’t a crossover, it’s a new medium.”

The project arrives as Republic’s parent company, Universal Music Group, expands deeper into interactive entertainment, including ventures in Roblox, metaverse fan experiences, and tools that integrate artists like Lil Wayne directly into games.

Meanwhile, OnlyHands is already building an online community through playful world-building, fictional “studies,” teaser clips, and cameos from Boosie, Key Glock, Kodak Black, and others.

But at this early stage, Sauce Walka is the loudest voice championing the game, positioning himself as both a character and a cultural architect.
