‘I will offer Sidemen 100 million dollars’

Notably, several prominent Twitch personalities have transitioned to this new site, securing lucrative contracts that have made headlines in the industry.
Ross said, “Offered AMP $100 million dollars to come to Kick. They said no,” Adin first joked. “I will offer Sidemen 100 million dollars to come to Kick, take it, or leave it.” He then added, “I didn’t offer AMP no $100 million, I’m capping out of my a**.” Nevertheless, there is speculation that the group might reject the offer above, on the other hand, many supporters believe that the value of these YouTubers surpasses the proposed deal. Stay tuned for further updates to discover whether the Sidemen group will accept or decline the offer!
'Bro, he said he was joking'
After watching the clip, many of Ross' fans shared their thoughts. One fan said, "Everyone saying how Sidemen worth more than $100m, which is true, but Adin doesn't even have that authority to begin with. He's the fourth owner. Eddie, his partner, and Train all have more say than Adin when it comes to Kick's finances." A second fan wrote, "This would not make sense because the sidemen content is edited content not streams plus they are not desparate for 100mil but a more sensible deal would be the sidemen charity matches be exclusively streamed on kick for 3 years and be twice a year. Thats guaranted 2 mill viewers." One Twitter user said, "I mean they had side+ and they’re very dedicated YouTubers I doubt they’ll take the deal. I mean good to mention that they’re not streamers anyway." A fourth wrote, "Bro, he said he was joking"
