Lieutenant Dan releases diss track targeting Adin Ross after Kick sponsorship deal cancellation

Lieutenant Dan’s diss track criticizes Adin Ross following a canceled Kick deal

Lieutenant Dan, a TikTok-famous Florida resident who gained attention during the 2024 hurricane season, has released a diss track aimed at streamer Adin Ross. The release follows the abrupt cancellation of a prospective deal with the streaming platform Kick, originally offered by Ross in October 2024.

Dan first went viral after refusing to evacuate his boat during Hurricane Milton, capturing public attention for his defiance in the face of severe weather. Adin Ross initially pledged support, announcing plans to sponsor a $100,000 boat and offering Dan a Kick deal. This interaction, streamed live, highlighted Ross’s backing even as Dan faced backlash when his criminal past surfaced online.

However, within days, Ross reversed his decision, reallocating the Kick deal to another content creator named Terrence. Ross justified the move by emphasizing Terrence’s plans to help the homeless and conduct IRL streams in Tampa. The decision left Dan without the sponsorship, leading to disappointment and controversy.

On November 29, 2024, Lieutenant Dan reignited their feud by releasing a diss track criticizing Ross. The track opens with the line, “F**k Adin Ross,” and references the withdrawn deal with lyrics like, “Caucasian little boy didn’t even send a dime.” The diss track quickly gained traction online, sparking widespread discussion.

While Dan did not secure the Kick deal, he briefly streamed on the platform, drawing criticism for using offensive language during one broadcast. Now, his diss track has refocused public attention on his feud with Ross, igniting fresh debate over the ethics of influencer commitments and the responsibilities of public figures to honor their promises.

This situation underscores the volatile nature of viral fame and raises questions about accountability in the influencer-driven world of streaming and sponsorships.
