Adin Ross has addressed the new class action lawsuit he's facing alongside Drake and the online casino, Stake. Speaking about the case during a recent livestream, he labeled the allegations against the defendants "bullsh*t." The filing accuses the group of allegedly promoting illegal and predatory gambling.
"Guys, there's nothing to talk about... you guys can look into it. I will tell you guys this: Read through the case yourself. It's f*cking bullsh*t... It's bullsh*t, it's f*cking bullsh*t," Ross said.
When No Jumper shared a clip of the reaction on Instagram, fans had plenty to say in the comments section. "He got the most exceptional lawyers. Will be tossed," one user wrote. Another countered: "It’s crazy cause gambling is a hell of an addiction and they are promoting it. Granted it’s not their fault that people gamble and lose but they make it seem so fun and sporty."
Why Is Adin Ross Being Sued?
The filing, which popped up in federal court in Missouri on Monday, accuses Drake and Ross of "glamorizing" a "highly addictive" product that “threatens the welfare of Missouri residents and especially its young people." It reads: “Drake’s role as Stake’s unofficial mascot is quietly corrosive—he’s glamorizing the platform to millions of impressionable fans, many of whom treat his wild betting habits like gospel. What makes it even more unsettling is that Stake apparently fronts Drake and Ross ‘house money,’ so any reported losses are part of a marketing tactic designed to draw attention. Stake’s influencer marketing, especially through Drake and Ross, is directed, among others, at teenagers in Missouri and in other states.”
In turn, the lawsuit argues they violated laws regarding unfair and deceptive business practices. The plaintiffs are seeking damages and “an order of equitable disgorgement against defendants.” Drake has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
