Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel is one of the world\u2019s most famous streamers \u2014 and now, he\u2019s one of the world\u2019s richest, having secured a massive deal with Kick back in June. The streamer, who previously made his home exclusively on Twitch, has now begun streaming on Kick to the tune of $100 million in one of the most profitable streamer contracts we\u2019ve seen to date. Dozens of other high-profile content creators have also eyed Kick as their primary platform of choice after news of xQc\u2019s deal went viral, with names like Amouranth joining the site and others like Logan Paul hoping for his own lucrative Kick contract. Shaq vows to \u201ccome after\u201d xQc following streamer\u2019s $100M Kick deal Now, another major figure is pondering the possibilities of streaming on Kick \u2014 none other than NBA legend Shaquille O\u2019Neal, who learned about xQc\u2019s deal in a recent episode of the Full Squad Gaming podcast. Shaq sat down with the Full Squad Gaming hosts in a casual interview where they informed him about the streamer\u2019s profitable payday, prompting Shaq to give a humorous (and quite surprising) answer in response. \u201cThey pay him $50 million [per year] just to play video games?\u201d Shaq asked. \u201cJust to stream on their site,\u201d one of the hosts answered. \u201cNot even exclusively.\u201d \u201c\u2026He\u2019s in trouble,\u201d Shaq responded. \u201cBecause I\u2019m about to come after him. \u2026He just turns the camera on and people just watch him?\u201d \u201cWould you ever try it?\u201d a host asked. \u201cWhat would I stream?\u201d Shaq queried. After being informed that he could stream just about anything he liked, the former pro baller replied: \u201cHmm. I might have to look into that.\u201d When asked about what his price would be, should Kick take an interest in him, Shaq responded that his desired amount was \u201cup there.\u201d Shaq hasn\u2019t been afraid to venture outside of his comfort zone in the past. Between his various exploits as a businessman as well as headlining music festivals under the name DJ Diesel, he\u2019s had an illustrious presence beyond the basketball career that put him on the map. Who knows if we\u2019ll see this celebrity enter the streaming space? \u201cCongratulations to the guy who signed [for] a hundred mil,\u201d Shaq said, making sure to give props to xQc\u2019s historic deal. Shaq\u2019s statement comes at a pivotal moment in the ongoing streaming wars as platforms like Kick, Twitch, and YouTube continue to duke it out by securing top-tier broadcasters with exclusive deals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
