Drake has told Adin Ross that he wants to get in the ring and throw some hands with Kick CEO Ed Craven.

The "Nokia" artist wants to fight Craven after the tragic passing of French streamer Jean Pormanove, who was well-known on Kick.

On August 18, days before Ross announced that he and Drizzy plan to cover funeral expenses for Pormanove, the rapper bashed Craven as a "goof" in the Trainwrecks TV chat.

Drake, who has deactivated his Kick account, also claimed that he was barred from posting affiliate links and threw in Stake as another platform he's beefing with.

During a fight event on Friday (August 22), Ross held a press conference and shared that Drake wants to duke it out with Craven.

"The best, Drizzy Drake, said, 'Adin, I will fight on Branders for free. On my life, I'll fight for free. I wanna fight Eddie and you fight [Stake co-founder] Bijan [Tehrani].'"

Ross added that the event would be "great" and possibly be thrown "for charity."

"Let's do it. Let's give the fans what they want," Ross continued. "We can get Drake to fight for free on Branders if he fights Eddie. And I could fight Bijan. I say we run it, lets do it!"

The Boy also called into the stream, saying that he'll throw down with Craven "at Wal-Mart" and told Ross to give him the go. "I'm here, I'm here."

Drake has been an affiliate of Kick since 2022, the same year he became an official Stake partner in a reported $100 million endorsement deal.
