IRL Kick Streamer MikeSmallsJr Accuses Adin Ross of Scamming Him, Will Not Receive $70K Bounty Of Hurricane Milton Survival Challange

IRL Kick streamer MikeSmallsJr has been following Hurricane Milton and risking his life after Adin Ross offered content creators a bounty of $70K if they live stream the storm.

MikeSmallsJr even set up an air mattress in a tent and started live streaming from Tampa. It must be remembered that the authorities have issued orders for citizens to evacuate the area.

Along with MikeSmallsJr, another streamer Shoovy also accepted the challenge but was arrested for allegedly breaking into a building. Both streamers put their lives in extreme danger, and MikeSmallsJr even survived a life-threatening situation.

Adin Ross was seen commenting on Mike’s livestream to immediately evacuate and clarified that he meant the challenge for ‘sweater god and Sambond’ and not him.

Ross wrote:

“Evacuate, bro. The 70K was intended for Sweater God and Sambond, not you. You need to evacuate. Evacuate, bro.”

Streamer MikeSmallsJr Claims Adin Ross Scammed Him

However, this made MikeSmallsJr angry, and he wrote,

“Adin Ross just commented and said he is not paying me. What the f@#$k? What? Wait, wait, wait! What? There is no f%$&g way. Ni**a f**k you.”

The content creator alleged that Ross had scammed him while he was putting his life on the line to feed his family.

“I am out here risking my life to feed my family, and you bail on me like that? Ni###afk you! F88k that nia. Ni##a just scammed me, the f**ked up.”

Shoovy was arrested for breaking into a building in his quest for the $70K bounty and has been charged with armed burglary, trespassing, and crisis profiteering. Shoovy had also misbehaved and tried to resist a reporter as per a report by the entertainment news outlet, Dexerto.

This is not the first time that MikeSmallsJr had streamed a hurricane. He had earlier live-streamed Hurricane Helena last month, and clips can be seen in which the streamer was battling incoming water and winds in his tent. The Kick streamer traveled to Tampa to live stream Hurricane Milton, which was expected to make landfall after the $70K challenge thrown by Adin Ross.

Adin Ross Issues Clarification

Ross has clarified that the challenge was for another group of streamers. Adin Ross has also asked other streamers not to attempt to live stream the hurricane and appealed to them to follow the evacuation orders by the authorities.
