Twitch star xQc opened up about his notorious feud with fellow streamer Kai Cenat, expressing regret over how things turned out between them in an exclusive interview with Dexerto.
Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel and Kai Cenat had a notable spat throughout the spring and summer of 2025. The conflict began after xQc accused Kai’s friends in AMP of viewbotting, prompting Kai to call him “weird” for this allegation.
Lengyel also expressed concern over how AMP treated his friend and fellow broadcaster Adin Ross. The former Overwatch pro said he “didn’t care” if Kai didn’t like him due to their spat, explaining that he wasn’t vying for a collaboration with him at the time.
Things escalated in July when Kai Cenat announced that he wanted “nothing to do” with xQc, claiming that the French-Canadian streamer would message him “paragraphs” of text when any problems arose between them in the past.
xQc showed off these texts in a live broadcast, showing himself offering an “olive branch” to the streamer and arguing that he wasn’t a “snake in the grass” trying to bring him down. Whether or not Kai ever responded to this message was never revealed.
xQc says he “feels bad” about Kai Cenat feud
Dexerto got the chance to speak with xQc in an exclusive interview in February 2026, where he opened up about his past feud with Kai and explained his side of the story.
“I don’t like acting like I’m immune to criticism,” he began. “One of the reasons why me and Kai don’t get along as much is that I did make some comments about him when he was at the very top, and he was probably getting insulted by almost everybody, and Twitter was at him… every day you’d get a 250,000-likes post about him that was almost cruel.”
Lengyel went on to argue that clippers on social media would post portions of his streams out of context, making it sound like he was being critical of his fellow influencer when he didn’t feel that way.
“It looked like I was being sly about him, but I wasn’t used to this new meta of these new Twitter guys who are saying the most diabolical stuff. It was interesting, because I saw what I said in real time look like something else. I saw myself become an enemy that I would worry about if I was him,” he said.
“I was like, ‘I don’t wanna be that.’ I felt really bad. It’s like a bridge you burn that you don’t wanna burn. It sucks, because I burned a lot of my bridges with a lot of other guys who I don’t care about, but that was one where I was like, ‘That’s not even how it is.’ But you live and learn and move on, I guess.”
“It just sucks because it’s those clipper guys who are so annoying… I didn’t wanna be one of those guys, and it sucks. I think it’s lame to be that guy, and seeing myself be that guy at that moment was like, ‘Dude, I’m better than this.'”
