Twitch star Hasan Piker didn’t hold back when he called fellow streamer xQc “a piece of shit” during a recent broadcast, setting off a new round of arguments among fans of both content creators.
This latest clash adds to a growing list of public confrontations between Piker and Félix “xQc” Lengyel. Their rocky relationship has been marked by periods of apparent friendship interrupted by explosive disagreements, often revolving around their contrasting content styles and political viewpoints.
The two streamers have clashed repeatedly over the years on high-profile issues. One of their most notable disputes centered around gambling content on Twitch, with Piker vocally criticizing xQc’s decision to accept lucrative gambling sponsorships reportedly worth millions of dollars.
Piker, who built his platform on progressive political commentary, has frequently taken issue with what he perceives as irresponsible content from other streamers. Meanwhile, xQc, a former Overwatch pro known for his high-energy gaming streams and unfiltered personality, has amassed one of the largest followings on Twitch despite multiple platform bans.
Their conflicting personas seem almost designed to clash—Piker’s politically charged broadcasts against xQc’s provocative, boundary-pushing content create natural friction that viewers find endlessly entertaining. Both streamers command loyal fanbases that eagerly dive into the drama when tensions rise.
This latest insult from Piker comes after several months of relative peace between the two streaming heavyweights. However, given their history, many viewers anticipate that this conflict will evolve further as both streamers potentially address the situation in upcoming broadcasts.
