Adin Ross is notorious for inviting several hip-hop artists onto his livestream. In just the past month, he has featured multiple rappers such as Aneul AA, 21 Savage, and Soulja Boy. These collaborations usually attract a large number of viewers to Adin Ross’ stream. However, a recent collaboration had the opposite effect.
Adin Ross surprised his fans by announcing an upcoming collaboration with the elusive singer-songwriter and rapper, Playboi Carti. It was unexpected because Playboi Carti rarely makes public appearances outside of his performances and hasn’t given an interview in the last six months.
Securing Playboi Carti’s participation was no easy task. Rumors circulated that Adin Ross had to pay a hefty sum of over $50,000 to have the rapper on his stream. Adin Ross addressed these rumors by revealing that he actually paid an astounding $2 million and even gifted a Ferrari to entice Playboi Carti.
In addition to the collaboration announcement, Adin Ross promised his viewers that they would get a sneak peek of Playboi Carti’s upcoming music for 2024 during the stream. However, when the stream started, Playboi Carti was nowhere to be seen. Frustrated viewers flooded the chat, urging the rapper to join the stream.
Playboi Carti eventually made a belated appearance, two hours behind schedule, with half a million viewers eagerly waiting. The interaction between Adin Ross and Playboi Carti was awkward and brief. Adin Ross handed the rapper a large bag filled with cash, and within six minutes, Playboi Carti announced his departure and left the stream.
Fans were extremely disappointed with the outcome. They not only missed out on a preview of Playboi Carti’s upcoming music but also witnessed minimal interaction between the two personalities. This disappointment led to a significant drop in viewership for Adin Ross’ stream, resulting in him breaking the record for the highest number of viewers lost in a single minute after Playboi Carti’s abrupt exit.
