Who is Citrus? Why was Citrus fired by Adin Ross? Learn all there is to know about the reason why he was fired by Adin Ross.
Citrus, a Kick streamer and Twitch partner is best known for being the assistant to controversial online personality Adin Ross. While Ross is known for his controversial takes which has led to him being banned from a number of social media platforms, his head mod Citrus is also a similarly viewed personality – and now has been fired by the former.
Ross took to Kick to speak about his decision to fire Citrus, and described him as a brother and “his guy.” However, according to Ross, he felt like Citrus needed a new role and even went on to say that they will decide on something together. Ross reiterated that “he’s a great f**king guy” and he’s not letting him go anywhere. However, netizens have speculated that the firing may have taken place courtesy of Citrus’ recent controversies.
Citrus is best known for being the former head mod for controversial online personality Adin Ross – and most recently, blew up on social media after a clip of him having a heated altercation with an intoxicated woman was shared extensively on Twitter. The content creator was livestreaming the incident on his Instagram, and screen recordings were shared by viewers.
In the video, the streamer appears to be holding the camera in a way that renders others’ faces indiscernible. However, the woman in front of him sounds and acts quite upset, cursing at him and crying. At one point, she even insinuates that the Kick mod was abusive towards her, causing much controversy: “You’re a f*cking as*hole! He’s f*cking abusive towards me.”
After some more back and forth between people present, Citrus turned and immediately asserted that the allegations of him being abusive were false. The streamer also shared concern that the woman would call the police on him, while the latter can be heard hyperventilating in the background. “Dude, what the…false allegations. Bro, she’s about to call 911. Dude, holy sh*t. This b*tch is insane.”
Fans of the creator were not impressed with the clip, with some even calling it clickbait because the video did not record any violence and just the woman’s reaction. Regardless, Citrus’ clip was shared by @UziDownBad and has gained significant traction, currently sitting at over 60k views at the time of writing. Some Twitter users also pointed out that naming Adin Ross in the title was unnecessary and misleading as he had nothing to do with the incident, even though Citrus is his head mod.
No, this was not the first time Citrus landed in controversy because of his behaviour.
This is not the first time Citrus has been called out for controversial and problematic behavior. A couple of months ago, earlier in 2023, the streamer got into a lot of trouble after he said the n-word on stream. The news caused a lot of backlash on r/LivestreamFail, and while the clip has been deleted, alternate mirrors still exist.
Furthermore, many Redditors also pointed out that not only was saying the n-word offensive, but Citrus had also allegedly added it to a verse while singing along, even though it wasn’t in the lyrics. Citrus was not the only one to frequently find himself to be the centerpiece of controversy, as his employer is also known for a similar personality.
Ross is best known for his contentious takes.
He has gone viral for alleged homophobic and transphobic statements in the past. Taking to his alternate profile on X (formerly Twitter) called @Ar15thed3mon, the Kick streamer reacted to the pictures posted by YouTube couple Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams of their surrogate child, saying: “Disgusting. Child abuse.”
As mentioned before, Adin Ross is known for his inflammatory takes on social issues, especially when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community. The streamer has a history of using homophobic slurs and was handed a Twitch ban in 2022 for allegedly saying the F-word on YourRage’s stream. Since getting permanently banned from the platform and moving to Kick, Ross has gotten into more trouble. Earlier this year, he received backlash for his take on the transgender community.
Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams are a popular gay YouTube couple who have been engaged for a few years before tying the knot in January this year. A few months ago, they announced that they were expecting children through surrogates. They recently took to social media to share pictures of the newborn twins. The pictures have mostly received positive reactions from the community. However, a number of people, including Ross, have called the couple out for having kids. Ross is also not the only streamer to do so, with controversial Rumble star Sneako also condemning the couple, saying: “This is child sex trafficking.”
While there is no exact reason why Citrus was fired by Adin Ross, one can attribute it to the recent controversies surrounding him.
