In the ever-dramatic world of celebrity loyalties, Adin Ross finds himself in the spotlight, not for gaming, but for a bold gesture involving a pricey watch and his allegiance to Drake.
Ross, known for his boisterous personality, recently decided to part ways with his luxury Audemars Piguet watch, valued at nearly half a million dollars. The reason? It’s the same model that LeBron James owns, and Ross wanted to sever that connection after Drake unfollowed the basketball star on Instagram.
Ross openly discussed his decision on a livestream, making it clear that his loyalty to Drake was unwavering. “I’ll just tell you guys the truth,” he shared. “I’m selling this piece ’cause LeBron has this piece and Drake unfollowed Bron. There. That’s the reason why I’m doing it. I don’t care. Michael Jordan’s better.”
This sparked mixed reactions from fans. Some were quick to flame Ross, pointing out the irony since LeBron James’ son, Bronny, had boosted Ross’ popularity. To many, it seemed disloyal; to others, it was a dramatic yet amusing display of allegiance to Drake.
Meanwhile, Ross recently stirred the pot by making controversial comments about Los Angeles, specifically targeting affiliates of Kendrick Lamar. However, he later issued a half-hearted apology, acknowledging L.A.’s seriousness and saying, “L.A. is to not be f***ed with. I love L.A. Seriously, I love L.A. Now, I’m not folding. I still say ‘F**k you’ to the people that were coming at me. F**k you.”
Adin Ross’ decision to cut ties with LeBron via a luxury watch sale highlights the complex web of celebrity relationships and allegiances. In the world of high-profile affiliations, even a watch can make a statement.
