LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Adin Ross is in the news once again. This time he has been accused of racism for mimicking a monkey and mocking individuals during a video call.

The video quickly went viral, with social media users sharing it extensively across various social media platforms. In response, Ross dismissed the accusations, labeling those who called him racist as "weird".

In recent news, Ross also grabbed headlines due to concerns about his health and the risk of developing diabetes. This concern arose from his extensive consumption of energy drinks as a weight-loss strategy.

Ross decided to work out in the gym to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, he faced swatting incidents during his gym sessions, potentially contributing to his decision to reduce his time spent at the gym.

What happened during Adin Ross' livestream?

During a recent livestream, Adin Ross decided to check out an app called Monkey. In an official X (formerly Twitter) post of Drama Alert, a livestream clip was shared featuring Ross. It was captioned, 'Adin Ross was accidentally racist while streaming'.

For context, since the closure of the popular website Omegle, the app named Monkey has gained traction on social media. Functioning similarly to Omegle, upon registration, Monkey pairs users with random strangers via video chat, taking into account their specified preferences.

As Ross scrolled through profiles, his chat continually sent distracting TTS messages.

In response, when matched with a group of Black people, Ross started mimicking a monkey. The group promptly skipped him.

Ross laughed off the situation and attributed it to bad timing. He acknowledged that it might have looked "really bad" and clarified that he didn't intend to come across as insensitive.

Ross exclaimed, "Nah bro, that was really bad. Bro, you know that I didn't mean it like that, bro. Ya'll being weird. On God, dude, it's just the timing...."

Internet reacts to Adin Ross' gesture

Upon witnessing Adin Ross' gesture towards a group of people, the Internet was abuzz.

One user said, "This is not even racist; bro is technically black already."

Another found the situation amusing, commenting, "This is mad hilarious; their reaction and his were perfect."

A third user said, "He did it intentionally."

The fourth commented, "Adin tryna get the beef lmfao so that's the reason why he ain't feeling good."

The fifth user contemplated, "If you curious why he was saying monkey, when people will take pics of him or screenshot him instead of talking he says he’s being treated like a zoo animal so he goes “am i just a zoo animal to y’all i’m just a monkey you take pics of” so that’s why he was doing that."
