Popular Kick streamer Adin Ross has been having a rough time lately with his online gambling sessions featuring famous rappers. The most recent and controversial one involved 21 Savage, who was accused of using marked cards to cheat during a high-stakes game of blackjack.
The incident occurred on February 7, 2024, when Ross and 21 Savage were playing blackjack on Kick, a live streaming platform that allows users to interact with celebrities and influencers. The stream attracted over 500,000 viewers, who witnessed the tense moment when Ross realized that 21 Savage was playing with cards that had subtle marks on them, indicating their values.
Ross confronted 21 Savage about the cheating, which led to an awkward exchange where the rapper denied any wrongdoing and claimed he had no idea how the cards got marked. Ross then asked to see the cards, but 21 Savage refused to show them, saying he would only do so if Ross paid him $100,000.
