"If there's no weird s**t or weird hints, or a problem, it's usually because there isn't.

"All you have to do is imagine your 14-year-old daughter texting a 30-year-old man about 'boy stuff.' So many red flags. X pedo arc?"
In response to the backlash, the 28-year-old remarked:
"Oh, no! It's so weird. Isn't this so weird? Let's hear the counter-take. Shall we? (The streamer highlights Redditor u/IBGxGrip's comment) So, do we know how this... do we know how this is going? I think there are so many blanks and things you don't know about and you're putting a lot of, like, I'm not going to say a lot."

"Your opinion is f**king irrelevant!" - xQc responds to those criticizing his defense of Drake amid recent controversy
xQc stated that people "involved directly" with Drake could've thrown him under the bus amid his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. According to him, people could have "f**ked Drake up" to achieve fame. However, they did not do so and defended the Grammy Award-winning musician.
The Twitch and Kick star said:
"Also, I wish you guys understood. Like, a lot of people that are involved directly with Drake in those ways, now that we're years later, and Drake is in the hot water, they will gain a lot more by throwing him under the bus. Right? And they could even f**king... they could do whatever and f**k Drake up to get free clout and free social wins. And they don't do it. They're all defending him. Why? Because it wasn't weird."
xQc added that netizens' opinions on the controversy were "irrelevant":
"It's not weird and your opinion about it is irrelevant! Like, if both parties are involved, saying it's not weird, years after, your opinion is f**king irrelevant!"
In addition to the French-Canadian personality, several popular streamers, including Kai Cenat, "Ludwig" Ahgren, and Blaire "QTCinderella," have chimed in on Drake and Kendrick Lamar's feud.
