xQc reveals the reason behind his breakup with Adept, mentions family drama
As per the Twitch sensation himself, the couple were sharing a house with Nicolas (xQc's brother) and his girlfriend.
The streamer explained how none of them could live under the same roof due to irreconcilable differences. He even talked about feeling cornered and having to make the ultimate choice. Elaborating on the experience, xQc explained:
"Basically, it's almost really odd because I'm moving in, whatever, and I love my brother, I love my family. Okay? But he and his girlfriend, and me and Sammy, we just couldn't be all at once, at one place. We just couldn't. It's not possible. There was friction when I was at my brother's house, and there was friction when we all got here. It was just very odd."
The online personality revealed that the "chaos" was so bad that his brother was kicked out. He said:
"It was just very odd, and then it was like, we're all splitting apart, and then it was like, my brother was pretty much kicked out. Pretty much, kind of like, just naturally, then he went back to like, he had to move his stuff over here, and then move his stuff back home."
The streaming phenomenon explained that the situation was exacerbated after Nicolas moved in with them. He stated:
"It wasn't working out with Sammy, because it was like, it was like a brawl, and then, it was just like a disaster. It was just like, a chaos, and my family was kind of, you know? Like, I don't want to throw them under the bus, my family wasn't very nice, either, in certain parts...people weren't very understanding."
While several attempts were made to reconcile the situation, it unfortunately didn't work out. He revealed:
"My mom was trying to be the referee a little bit but then it wasn't working out either. Because she was getting my story, then Sammy's story and my brother's story and it would go in circles, and it wasn't working. And I felt like I had to make a choice. "
Addressing his predicament, the streamer explained how he had to choose between his ex-girlfriend and family. He stated:
"I was cornered into choosing between family and Sammy. And unfortunately, what happened is that, I just kind of chose family, because that's just, I don't know, saying it was my fault. So yeah, that's just what kind of happened."
Concluding his statement, xQc insisted that it was solely his decision and that no one was to blame for the situation.
