Adin Ross Switches Kick Deal from Lieutenant Dan to Tampa Terrence for a Heartwarming Cause
Have you heard about the latest twist in the streaming world? Adin Ross, the popular Kick streamer, recently made a surprising decision to switch up a lucrative streaming deal from viral sensation Lieutenant Dan to another Tampa-based streamer, Tampa Terrence. Let's dive into the heartwarming details of this unexpected turn of events.
Lieutenant Dan, whose real name is Joseph Malinowksi, captured the internet's attention when he defiantly stayed on his boat despite warnings about Hurricane Milton hitting the coast on October 11. As fans anxiously followed his story, Tampa Terrence, another streamer, documented Malinowski's situation, keeping viewers updated on his safety during the storm.
Impressed by Lieutenant Dan's viral story, Adin Ross initially offered him a Kick streaming deal and even planned to buy him a new boat valued at up to $100,000. However, in a surprising move, Ross later announced that while the boat purchase would proceed, the Kick deal was no longer on the table for Malinowski. Instead, he decided to pass the opportunity to Tampa Terrence, an in-real-life (IRL) streamer based in Tampa.
During his stream on October 13, Adin Ross shared, "I am no longer giving Lieutenant Dan a Kick deal. But I am giving the deal to Terrence. Terrence is going to go around Tampa IRL streaming and he’s going to help out homeless people and people that are in need." Ross elaborated on the new direction, mentioning that Tampa Terrence would receive a daily budget to carry out acts of kindness in the community.

Despite the change in plans regarding the Kick deal, Adin Ross expressed his continued support for Malinowski, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that he remains sober and handles the situation responsibly. Ross also revealed his intention to participate in some of Tampa Terrence's IRL streams, where they plan to distribute money to homeless individuals, referring to it as "god's work."
On his TikTok platform, Terrence, whose full name is Terrence Concannon, expressed his gratitude to Ross for the opportunity presented to him. He shared, "Adin Ross has been generous enough to give me a Kick deal, in which I will be going around helping out with hurricane relief, and just helping out in the city, doing my part."
@terrenceconcannon Thank you all so much for the amazing support I’ve received! I love you all so much and can’t wait to keep making more videos for you. I’m also excited to announce that I’ll be joining Kick! @adin ♬ original sound - Tampa Terrence
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Dan addressed the situation in a livestream, stating that he had actually declined the boat and Kick offer, rather than it being retracted. However, his stream stirred controversy when he used a racist slur, drawing criticism from viewers. Additionally, he claimed that Terrence owed him money from a GoFundMe campaign set up to support him.
Responding to these claims, Terrence clarified on TikTok that due to Malinowski's lack of a valid ID, he faced challenges withdrawing the funds from the GoFundMe account to his bank. Terrence assured viewers that he was collaborating with the Tampa Police to expedite the process and resolve the issue promptly.
As this streaming saga unfolds, it showcases the unpredictable nature of online communities and the power of generosity and goodwill. Adin Ross's decision to redirect the Kick deal to Tampa Terrence for charitable endeavors highlights the positive impact that content creators can have on their communities, spreading kindness and support in times of need.
