Adin Ross Claims He Lost Millions In Brand Deals After Dissing Megan Thee Stallion, Doechii
Controversial streamer Adin Ross is once again at the center of public scrutiny after revealing he recently lost two lucrative brand deals — fallout many are linking to his inflammatory remarks about rap stars Megan Thee Stallion and Doechii.
During a livestream with DJ Akademiks on Wednesday (May 14), Ross expressed visible frustration over the lost opportunities, which he suggested were related to both recent controversies and broader public perception of him and fellow content creator DDG.
'I'm so mad. My PR was finally getting better,' Ross vented. 'I had two deals lined up — same with DDG — lost both of them,' he added, referencing DDG's own public issues following allegations of abuse involving singer Halle Bailey.
Ross made it clear that, for him, the issue goes beyond financial loss. 'I'm mad as f**k, Ak. It's not even about the money. It's just 'cause I wanted to do it. That's the reality of how the world works,' he said.
The timing of the deals' collapse coincides with widespread backlash Ross received after making a series of offensive comments on stream about two prominent women in Hip-Hop.
Speaking about Megan Thee Stallion, who was shot by Tory Lanez in a 2020 incident that led to Lanez being sentenced to 10 years in prison, Ross appeared to cast doubt on her account.
'Show the bullet wound, bi**h. They lied on my man's name,' he said during a joint stream with fellow content creators ZIAS! and B.Lou — remarks that were quickly condemned online.
Ross also targeted Doechii, the rising rap star and 2024 GRAMMY Award winner, who has gained recognition for both her music and her unapologetically bold public persona.
Referring to her behavior while preparing for the 2025 Met Gala, in which she demanded her team to retrieve 'more f**king umbrellas,' Ross launched a tirade against the artist.
'She's an entitled, unintelligent piece of sh*t,' he said of Doechii, before calling for fans to boycott her work altogether. 'Stop listening to her music.'
He then criticized fellow artists who have collaborated with her, singling out Playboi Carti and The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) for clearing her appearance on a recent track. '[Playboi] Carti and Abel, why would you give her a feature on a remix? You shouldn't have cleared it,' Ross stated.
While Ross did not name the companies behind the pulled deals, his recent outbursts appear to have seriously impacted his marketability, even as he continues to hold a sizable audience on platforms like Kick and YouTube.
Whether the backlash will affect his long-term career remains to be seen, but for now, Ross' remarks have clearly cost him more than just online criticism — they've begun to cost him real money.

Mumford and Sons to bring folk tunes to Berkeley
Mumford and Sons emerged from the West London folk community in the late 2000s, and have since become global sensations. The group formed in 2007, and is composed of multi-instrumentalists Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane and Ben Lovett. They began to break into the U.S. mainstream in the early 2010s with tracks such as 'Little Lion Man' and 'The Cave,' eventually earning their first Grammy Award for their sophomore album 'Babel,' which released in 2012. Mumford and Sons have continued to release records periodically since, and Mumford ventured out on his debut solo project, 'Self-Titled,' in 2022 while continuing to make music with the band. He performed at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass that same year. Now, fans can catch the folk rock group at UC Berkeley's Greek Theater on Monday-Tuesday, June 9-10.

DDG's Temporary Restraining Order Against Halle Bailey Denied
On Wednesday (June 4), DDG requested an emergency hearing in an attempt to block Halle Bailey from traveling internationally with their son, Halo. He countered her previous domestic violence accusations by filing for a restraining order of his own, but his request was not approved. Bailey is set to leave to Italy with their one-year-old this weekend for a few months as she shoots a film. TMZ reported yesterday the Michigan rapper filed a motion against his ex-girlfriend, claiming she poses an 'imminent emotional and psychological risk' to the child. He included several alleged incidents that would back up his assertions, if true. DDG wrote about a time Halle took his gun and ran out of his house, said she would have an abortion behind his back, and would text him concerning messages regarding her mental health. 'In or about August 2023, during a particularly volatile argument, petitioner became enraged and threatened to end her life using my legally owned firearm. Without my consent, she took the weapon and left the house,' wrote DDG in a declaration attached to his court filing, per Billboard. 'This incident was one of several in which petitioner's actions posed a serious threat to her own safety and the safety of our son by creating an environment of emotional distress and danger within the home.' The rapper also claimed Halle sent 'a series of alarming text messages threatening to kill herself and suggesting that their infant son, Halo, might also be harmed.' In May, Halle was granted a temporary restraining order against DDG after accusing him of abuse. She cited an incident where he allegedly smashed her head against a steering wheel during an argument, said he often referred to her as a 'b**ch' or 'evil,' and rallied his supporters to bad-mouth her publicly. The Little Mermaid actress addressed her Italy travel plans in her original complaint, which was approved on May 15. 'I have family and a nanny who will be traveling with me to care for Halo while I am working,' Halle wrote in the court documents. The former couple went public in March 2022 and had a child together in December 2023. See a full timeline of their relationship here.
