xQc is hitting out at fellow streamer BruceDropEmOff after he returned to Twitch and slammed Kick, claiming that broadcasting there had a negative impact on his content.
On May 31, BruceDropEmOff shocked the streaming world when he announced he was returning to Twitch after a year away on Kick.
Bruce wasted no time in voicing his frustration with the green platform, saying he had the “worst time” there and that Kick made his content “lazy.”
“It killed my motivation, because it was no creativity within it. It was just, ‘Do the craziest sh*t or you’re lame,’” the former OTK member blasted.
During the same broadcast, Bruce took aim at Kick star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel for claiming he didn’t “believe in Kick” as a platform.
“Now you’re talking about something I didn’t believe in it? Dang! …As far as I know, you came to Kick after I came!” he roared.
However, Lengyel isn’t taking Bruce’s remarks lying down and issued a fiery response on X, where he accused the streamer of never giving any feedback or speaking to Kick staff about his time on the platform.
Never giving feedback or criticism but bad mouths the product and experience after the fact. Result to ad homs as soon as any push back is met. Textbook crash out 101. Where was this energy before? Gotcha

xQc also called out OTK’s Yung Jeff, who had quote-tweeted some of Bruce’s comments and chimed in accusing Kick of being unable to “control their edgy streamers from the worst PR imaginable without their community getting pissed.”
“Keep talking about the state of Kick’s operations, maybe it will make you forget about the state of your org little buddy. Something something glass house,” Lengyel shot back.
Those remarks come just days after OTK streamer Emiru, revealed plans to move out of Mizkif’s house, citing “stuff” that’s happened over the years. In 2022, Mizkif was accused of covering up a sexual assault between streamers CrazySlick and Adrianah Lee, though OTK ruled he was “not guilty” following an investigation.

Kick has faced quite a lot of criticism as a platform, even from its biggest names. Adin Ross, for example, called out the site for not doing enough to combat reckless driving content.
TheDanDangler even quit the site before her contract was up and accused the staff of “sexism.”
Lengyel, meanwhile, has remained one of the prominent faces of Kick ever since he signed a massive $100M contract in 2023 and is showing no signs of leaving the platform anytime soon.
