Adin Ross has revealed a dispute has been going on between hip-hop star Aubrey “Drake” Graham and Kick’s founders, Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani. Ross made this announcement during the ninth installment of his influencer boxing series, Brand Risk, which took place on August 22, 2025. It sent the internet into a tizzy, with one netizen claiming, “this seems scripted.”
At the event, Ross mentioned that Drake had shown interest in competing in a boxing match against Ed Craven. Ross said the rapper was ready to fight without pay, presenting the potential bout as entertainment and a chance to support charity.
While on the commentators’ panel, Ross read out messages from Drake. The rapper suggested a double matchup in these messages: himself versus Craven and Ross versus Tehrani.
Drake stressed his readiness to fight “for free” to make the event appealing to fans while also helping a good cause.
“Drizzy Drake said, ‘Adin, I will fight on Brand Risk for free, on my life I’ll fight for free. I want to fight Eddie, and you fight Bijan.’ So, Eddie and Bijan, it’ll be a great event, and we can do something to do with charity. Let’s do it! Let’s give the fans what they want. We can get Drake to fight for free on Brand Risk, and he fights Eddie, and I can fight Bijan. I say we run it.”
Ross picked up the phone and called Drake, getting more details on the singer’s position. During their chat, Drake hinted that they didn’t need a fancy place for the fight.
“Listen, how about this, you fight Eddie, I’ll fight Bijan… (‘I’ll fight these guys in Walmart, brother, let me know, I’m here,’ said Graham).”
The remarks have added another layer to the unfolding storyline between the artist and the streaming platform’s leadership.
While no official confirmation has been made regarding whether the proposed matches will materialize, Ross’s statements suggest that discussions are actively ongoing.
