The Drama Surrounding xQc and Adept’s McLaren Car Ownership
The rollercoaster of xQc and Adept’s relationship is something that always grabs the attention of fans, especially when their arguments play out live on Twitch. However, their recent feud went a step too far.
A prime example of this was their reaction to Adept claiming she was the registered driver of xQc’s $320,000 McLaren 720s Spider. This revelation may not be surprising considering xQc doesn’t even have a driver’s license.
Some people believe that Adept was manipulating xQc, and this narrative has gained traction among their fans. However, xQc insists that this is not true and that he is the rightful owner of the car.
The Truth About the Car Ownership
“I don’t want people to be insulted or harassed for no reason,” xQc said during his Twitch stream on Nov. 1. “Let me clear up this misconception. The car is mine!”
Despite their ongoing issues, xQc assures everyone that he and Sammy (Adept) are not terrible people. The car has been legally transferred to him, and his name is on the car, making it undeniably his.
xQc explains that Adept’s registration as a driver was necessary because she has a license while he does not. The car needed to be registered under someone’s name.
The Fans React
Once xQc explained the situation, fans who had suspected this all along decided to speak out against those who were quick to blame Adept.
“I thought it was obvious that this was the case,” one fan stated. “Some people like to create elaborate stories in their heads. Remember, we don’t really know these people or their personal lives.”
But not everyone was convinced. One fan argued that xQc had been manipulated into “clarifying” the car ownership issue.
The Problem with Parasocial Relationships
Regardless of who is right or wrong in this situation, it highlights the prevalence and problems associated with parasocial relationships. It’s unhealthy for fans to speculate about a streamer’s private life.
