Followers of Felix "xQc" and fellow Kick streamers such as Adin Ross, Tyler "Trainwrecktstv", Cuffem, and others will know that a huge drama recently occurred which ultimately resulted in Felix leaving their Discord chat. The streamer has since noted that he would not allow homophobic slurs on his broadcasts after Adin's friends, called the SSB group, used the f-slur among other offensive words.

Several Kick streamers had essentially gathered to play Call of Duty together. However, during the in-game banter a few of them used the f-slur while referring to xQc. For context, this comes a day after an old clip of Felix kissing fellow streamer AustinShow back in 2022 went viral.

Viewers have noted that during their game Adin Ross's friends Cuffem, and ShanggyHose allegedly used several offensive words, including terms such as "tra**y" and the f-slur, which seemingly resulted in Felix leaving the stream. He even called them "losers" and "bottom of the barrel" while explaining his decision to distance himself from the SSB group:

"When you're not somebody who hasn't built anything or hasn't gone anywhere, when you're a loser and bottom of the barrel, you don't know what that is. I'm not gonna let these people take over and say s**t to my people"

xQc and Adin Ross's friends got into a heated argument while playing Call of Duty: How it all went down

Ten streamers had assembled on a Discord server on April 21 to play some Call of Duty. Headed by Adin Ross and xQc, the teams consisted of content creators such as JesseSMFI, Cuffem, Trainwreckstv, ShnaggyHose, and many more. The two teams had started trolling each other during the lobby phase of the game, and during the banter, things got pretty heated after offensive words were used.

Note: Sensitive media ahead, viewers' discretion advised

While both sides had started talking smack about each other, ShnaggyHose used a transphobic word, saying:

"I am not going to let this tra**y talk to me like this, come on let's start the game."

The comment was targeted at xQc, and even Trainwreckstv did not like this and stated:

"Yo, yo, why take it there?"

Others on Adin's team can be heard talking about how Felix had kissed boys to justify saying the word. That said, this was not the only time that inappropriate things were said on the Discord call towards the former Overwatch pro. Soon after, Cuffem started raging, and loudly called him the homophobic f-slur.

xQc had been trolling them, saying:

"You're not on a street corner, bruh. You don't have a Glock out. You have a controller on your hands, now queue the game up pu**y b**ch."

Cuffem did not respond very well, and chose to retaliate by using the homophobic slur:

"Go f**ck a d**k, fa**ot!"

Several people laughed at this, and Adin Ross attempted to get things back on track:

"Come on, bro. Let's all just play and have a good time. What map do you guys want?"

Soon after, xQc decided to leave the Discord call and explained to his audience that he had built a community from the ground up and did not want to entertain people using slurs on his stream. Fellow Twitch streamer Omie, who was also in the Call of Duty game, called out Cuffem and ShnaggyHose for using offensive words.

While Trainwreckstv had already called out the SSB group for the whole incident, he did not leave the call and chose to continue playing with them. However, Omie pressed Cuffem, especially for using the f-slur, and asked him to take accountability:

"All right listen, bro, okay? You say, ' You kissed a guy, you are f-word.' Okay? I am going to cut it straight, I am going to say what Train can't. That's just plain homophobic. Cuffem and Shnaggy, either take accountability or admit you are straight up homophobic."

Readers should note that both of them denied being homophobic, and went on to attribute their behavior to xQc's remarks about them being broke. After a bit of back and forth, Omie left the Discord chat as well. Short clips from the stream, where the incident happened have gone viral all over the internet but that is essentially how things went down.

Regardless of how his friends acted on stream, Adin Ross's take on xQc kissing AustinShow was a lot tamer when he first reacted to it on stream.
