xQc slams Forbes' claims regarding his streaming journey

During a recent livestream, xQc came across an article by Forbes where the media had listed him as a MultiVersus streamer.

However, what piqued his concern was the short bio written about him. The piece labeled him a popular streamer with a highly controversial past. Furthermore, Felix admitted that a moderator had sent him the Forbes mention on Discord. However, considering it was a farce, he had overlooked the entire matter.

Slamming Forbes for the controversial take regarding his streaming journey, the Twitch powerhouse exclaimed:

"That's so weird. That is so weird.... Guys that is cooked, how could it be worse? That's really bad though. When did I do racist, explicit, and homophobic explicit content? None of these things have ever happened. None of these things happened. That is not real! That is not real... Jesus, man. That is absoutely f*cked up.”
