Last night the Drake and xQc stream attracted millions of viewers, but it also sparked drama. Let’s just say Pokimane wasn’t happy, and what is it with Kendrick Lamar?
In a headline-grabbing streaming event, superstar rapper Drake joined forces with gaming enthusiast and casino streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel on Kick last night.
The stream featured a mix of gambling sessions on Stake, lighthearted banter, and fan engagement, highlighted by a massive $500,000 giveaway to viewers.
The collaboration attracted millions of live viewers, reinforcing the growing overlap between gaming and hip-hop cultures.
The event also served as a strategic move by Drake, coinciding with new releases by rivals Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, positioning himself at the center of cultural discussions.
During the stream, Drake’s relationship with gambling took center stage as he shared anecdotes about his high-stakes betting habits, feeding into his reputation for dramatic wins and losses.
However, tensions rose when Drake made veiled remarks about his longstanding rivalry with Kendrick Lamar.
The two artists have had a cold war in the rap scene for years, marked by subtle disses in lyrics and competition for chart dominance. This stream, timed just as Kendrick dropped his latest album, was interpreted by fans as a calculated move by Drake to steal some of the spotlight.
Adding fuel to the fire, popular streamer Pokimane criticized Drake’s appearance on xQc’s stream, calling it a “clout grab” and questioning the authenticity of his connection to gaming culture.
She argued that Drake’s involvement was more about marketing than genuine interest, sparking debates among fans about celebrity engagements in gaming spaces.
Despite the controversies, the stream was a landmark in digital entertainment, merging two powerful industries in a way that resonated globally.
Both Drake and xQc capitalized on their combined influence, leaving fans buzzing about future collaborations.
In a recent stream, xQc has also stated that the Adpocalypse on Twitch wouldn’t be a threat to him. It wouldn’t even exist.
