Popular Twitch streamer Plaqueboymax has updated fans after he called out Drake for comments the rapper made about his stream, explaining that he chose to ‘stand his ground’.
During a stream with Adin Ross, Drake explained that he had watched Plaqueboymax’s stream: “I was watching Plaqueboymax. I was watching him in a live studio session or some sh*t and I was like, ‘Yo, Adin would troll me so hard for watching this.’ I watched it for an hour.”
The clip made its way to Max, who said he had watched it with his cousin, and although he appreciated Drake watching his stream, he wasn’t going to be starstruck.

In fact, he didn’t appreciate how Drake described watching his content. He called out the tone as dismissive and felt the comment made his work seem like a joke:
“One thing I will say – even though it was Drake – I didn’t like how he said that sh*t. He was laughing like, ‘I was watching Plaqueboymax.’ Like, what are you laughing at? And why would Adin troll you for watching me? This isn’t a game.”
