Twitch star xQc is one of the biggest streamers in the world, boasting an impressive 11M followers on the Amazon-owned platform alone. While the 26-year-old began streaming in 2014, he kicked off his career just a few years later competing in Overwatch, where he grew his audience tremendously. Today, Lengyel is one of the most popular creators on the internet, and now he\u2019s slammed Forbes for claiming he\u2019s had controversies that never happened. xQc hits out at Forbes During the streamer\u2019s September 6 broadcast, he reacted to his own subreddit, where fans share almost anything related to him. One of the top posts of the week noted that Forbes listed xQc as a Multiversus streamer. However, he was a bit more concerned about the bio written on him, which claimed he\u2019s had racist, homophobic, and sexually explicit content controversies in the past. The Twitch star admitted that a moderator had sent him the Forbes mention on Discord, but he didn\u2019t believe it was actually real. \u201cThis is just troll though. That\u2019s just troll. That\u2019s so weird,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, I guess it could be worse,\u201d one viewer wrote in chat. However, \u2018The Juicer\u2019 wasn\u2019t pleased: \u201cBut, that\u2019s really bad though,\u201d xQc exclaimed. \u201cRacist, homophobic, explicit content? Guys that is cooked, how could it be worse?\u201d He continued: \u201cThat\u2019s really bad though. When did I do racist explicit content and homophobic explicit content? None of these things have ever happened. None of these things happened. That is not real! Jesus, man.\u201d It\u2019s worth noting that during his pro days, xQc came under fire due to homophobic remarks made toward a rival player, as well as using emotes in a \u201cracially disparaging manner\u201d toward an Overwatch League caster. He was then later released from his team Dallas Fuel. Previously, the streaming star has also been banned on Twitch for showing sexually suggestive content.
