In a brief stream on Twitch, Pokimane briefly talked about the ongoing debate surrounding the up-and-coming streaming platform Kick and why she decided not to join the new platform over Twitch.
Taking a shot at former Twitch streamer xQc, Pokimane noted, “And it’s not because I’ve got $10 million. It’s just because I am as good as I am. Why would I compromise my morals and ethics for more money when I have money? Something about that is so cringeworthy to me personally.”.

That’s not all, the drama further erupted when xQc, who recently joined Kick with a whopping $100 million deal, backlashed on Pokimane through his Twitter handle. He had quite something to say to Pokimane, xQc got back at her saying, “Flexing your morals and ethics on other people around you comes from pure insecurity. Nothing else”.

It's kinda weird ..

..but isn't that like what you guys do? Professionally?
Flexing your lack of morals and ethics is the same thing.

It's not every day somebody crashes an entire platform with nothing more than their presence. I'd be insecure too man, imagine seeing a future unfolding in which you were no longer relevant at all. At least they got the spotlight for another 5 mins

It's a weird argument to make considering kick has other flaws lol

You know if you think about it, Pokimane was the catalyst that started Kick ?. If she hadn't campaigned so hard for the removal of crypto gambling off Twitch, Train would have never partnered with Stake to create Kick and this wouldn't be reality. ?

As soon as Pokimane‘s Twitch clip went viral, xQc didn’t waste any time getting back at Pokimane. xQc even went on to call out Pokimane over her friends having an ACR deal, which is an Online gambling-related firm. xQc took a shot at Pokimane by trying to expose her double standards. When xQc pointed out her slamming him for his deal, Pokimane tried to cover up by saying, “I understand how it might sound that way, but it wasn’t my intention”.
It will be interesting to see where this drama is headed and who else will jump in this as well. For until then keep a close eye on the details coming out.
