Is Dana White's shoutout to Adin Ross a sign of politics invading streaming culture?

The feud between Adin Ross and Hasan Piker, known as HasanAbi, has escalated yet again, adding another layer to their long-running rivalry. The latest chapter unfolded when UFC President Dana White publicly thanked Ross in a speech celebrating Donald Trump’s election victory, a moment that HasanAbi reacted to live with visible frustration.

In a video shared on X by Fear Buck, Dana White expressed his gratitude to various personalities, stating, “I wanna thank some people real quick. I wanna thank the Nelk Boys, Adin Ross, Theo Vaughn, Bussin’ With the Boys, and last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan.” For HasanAbi, this shoutout to Ross, his long-time adversary, was a stinging moment. He reacted with exasperation, saying, “No! What is this country, ay yo we’re done.”

The backstory to this tension goes deeper. Just a month prior, the feud had intensified during a stream when HasanAbi criticized Ross for allegedly using copyright claims to financially harm a smaller YouTuber. On his May 1, 2023 stream, Hasan stated, “I will personally pay the legal fees of other fu**ing Instagram models and people who now hate Adin Ross, who have appeared on his stream, to sue him for every dime he has if he keeps this dumb sh*t up.”

Adin Ross and HasanAbi’s longstanding feud recently took another turn, with Ross’s comments adding fuel to the fire. Known for clashing on social and political issues, the rivalry between the two streamers intensified after Ross reacted negatively to one of Hasan’s social media posts during a stream. While reacting to an Elon Musk interview with Donald Trump, Ross came across a post from HasanAbi that downplayed an alleged assassination attempt on Trump, captioned “nobody cares.” Ross responded by calling Hasan a “weirdo” and even told him to “go back to the country he was born in,” an insult that further inflamed the situation.

Fans quickly picked up on the latest twist, and the social media debate surrounding Ross and HasanAbi’s ongoing feud gained traction. The clash between the two polarizing figures has become a hot topic, with each side’s fans taking to social platforms to voice their opinions.
