Felix "xQc" has responded to accusations of racism leveled against him by netizens on X (formerly Twitter). For context, the streamer found himself in hot water on November 24, 2023, after interacting with a Black individual on the video-calling platform Monkey App. While both were having a heated argument, the Twitch and Kick star flaunted his wealth by remarking:
"Bro, I'm going to keep it a buck. I can take my daily check and buy your entire f**king bloodline."
xQc reviewed the viral clip during a livestream on November 27, 2023. He burst out laughing after hearing the "buy your entire bloodline" comment. In response, he claimed that "everybody" knows he jokes about flaunting his wealth "all the time." Claiming it's a "stupid" jest, the 28-year-old said:
"Guys, everybody knows, chat, it's a joke that I make all the time. Okay? It's f**king... it's stupid, okay? It's a stupid joke but it's like - I say it to everybody. Okay? Whatever. I read through the chat. I read through everybody because nobody likes that topic, and it's something that I just say. Okay?"
