A livestream clip showing Silky driving at night has become the center of controversy after the on-screen Waze display appeared to contradict his version of events.
The footage shows Silky weaving through lanes and passing vehicles on what appears to be a multi-lane freeway. His Waze navigation app is visible throughout the clip, with the speed readout climbing to approximately 110 mph.
Silky later claimed he was driving only “5 over the speed limit” during the moment. That claim caught the attention of xQc, who reviewed the footage and pointed directly to the visible speed numbers on screen.
xQc’s main argument was simple. The Waze display showed around 115 mph, which would mean the speed limit was 110 mph if Silky’s “5 over” claim held true. No public road in the United States has a speed limit that high.
Waze uses GPS to calculate speed, and while it’s not a certified speedometer, it generally provides accurate readings during steady movement. The app defaults to mph in the United States, though users can change the unit settings.
The situation escalated across platforms. Silky entered xQc’s Twitch chat to defend himself, writing that he “didn’t kill anyone or put anyone in harm’s way” and claiming he “knows what he’s doing.” He also apologized for a previous insult directed at xQc.
The moment also spread to Twitter, where both streamers and their audiences continued the back-and-forth.
From a legal standpoint, the speed itself may not be the only issue. Rapid lane changes and weaving through traffic at significantly higher speeds than surrounding vehicles can meet the definition of reckless driving in many jurisdictions, regardless of the actual number on the speedometer.
