Livestreamer Adin Ross might have inadvertently played a role in the detention of social media influencer Andrew Tate by Romanian authorities.
Late on Monday, Tate, a British American influencer who gained prominence while he lived in the U.K., was apprehended in Romania and served with a U.K. arrest warrant related to allegations of rape and sexual assault. Tate’s representative confirmed that he and his brother, Tristan Tate, were detained.
The brothers had previously been released from house arrest in August after they were indicted on rape and trafficking charges in June.
Ross, known to be a friend of Tate, is a popular livestream personality who frequently collaborates with rappers and celebrities. A law firm that represents some of Tate’s accusers informed that in a livestream on the Kick platform last week, Ross revealed that Tate had sent him a text message that he intended to leave Romania indefinitely.

Andrew Tate, the controversial, far-right influencer, is back in custody in Romania, this time detained on a warrant issued by British authorities that could lead to his extradition to the U.K., according to The Associated Press.
Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested Monday night, March 11, and ordered to be held for 24 hours. A spokesperson for the brothers, Mateea Petrescu, said the charges stemmed from sexual aggression allegations dated between 2012 and 2015, which the Crown Prosecution Service ultimately dismissed between 2017 and 2019. A judge in Romania will decide today if the arrest warrants will be executed,...

Speaking exclusively to Variety, company execs say the reboot puts the new-look platform in pole position to capture an even bigger slice of the burgeoning African SVOD market.
“We are doubling down on Africa,” says CEO Marc Jury. “We’ve been here for 38 years, and we intend to be here for a long time still to come. And we feel we’ve got all the best local knowledge in terms of understanding what content [is in demand] and how our customers want to consume it.”
