AUSTIN, TEXAS: xQc, a former Twitch streamer recently joined Kick, the purple platform's competitor streaming platform. The pro streamer revealed the truth about his actual earning from Kick during a heated argument with Pokimane and HasanAbi.
xQc's fans were disappointed by his exit from Twitch for Kick, which sparked rumors of a non-exclusive agreement worth at least $70 million over two years, with the potential to earn up to $100 million.
Is xQc earning more than $100M from Kick?
When Pokimane said in a now-deleted Twitch video, "You're someone who is getting paid $100 million," xQc quickly corrected, "It's more than that, but it doesn't matter." xQc appears to have hinted that his Kick agreement is "more than" the previously announced sum.
xQc's statement during the stream could be construed as impetuous or spontaneous. However, neither the streamer nor the platform's co-owners, including Trainwreckstv, have publicly acknowledged or commented on the situation. Time will tell whether he comes clean about the Kick agreement or chooses to keep quiet about how much he was given by Kick.
'I saw this as a business'
However, it appears that the content creator's contract is worth more than what was initially announced. xQc discussed his massive agreement with Kick during a recent Twitch session. During the stream, fellow content creator Pokimane asked him if the company provided him with any shares when negotiating his new contract.
xQc responded, "I got to choose whether I wanted some or not." The streamer then elaborated on his thoughts on Kick by saying, "I saw this as a business. I thought it’d be really cool to have all these strategies on what we could do to make it better. I think it’s fun."
Now, it looks like the pot has been sweetened beyond what was initially stated, possibly with additional Kick shares tossed in, as previously suggested. During a June 20 livestream, Pokimane again challenged xQc on his arrangement with Kick, and xQc appeared to let slip that the first $100 million was significantly larger than first reported.
