Renowned Twitch personality xQc, also known as Félix Lengyel, has once again captured the spotlight, but this time for reasons beyond his gaming skills or entertaining antics. In a surprising twist, Twitch star xQc has revealed his plans to pursue legal action against his former partner, Adept, aiming to regain possession of his $300k McLaren.
The tumultuous relationship between xQc and Adept has been a subject of considerable attention over the past few years. Initially breaking up in August 2021, both announced the split on their respective Twitter accounts, only to reconcile in December of the same year. However, their final breakup occurred in late 2022, marked by a public argument witnessed by 125,000 live viewers. Subsequently, a barrage of accusations and revelations ensued, including details from court documents indicating that the couple had been married from August 2020 to October 2022. Notably, among these legal documents was a court order prohibiting xQc from discussing the matter on Twitch or any other social platforms.
Another focal point has been xQc's McLaren 720s Spider, which Adept claimed ownership of asserting that xQc lacked a valid US driver's license as a Canadian citizen at the time. Despite allegedly belonging to xQc, the McLaren had to be legally transferred to her due to registration complications. However, recent updates suggest that xQc is taking legal action against Adept to regain ownership of McLaren. During a recent Kick stream, xQc addressed the situation when questioned about repurchasing his «supercar,» bluntly responding with a «Nope, it’s gone,» expressing reluctance to buy it back and citing Adept's alleged unauthorized sale against legal constraints as unreasonable.
Twitch and Kick personality xQc confirmed that he is suing Adept over the matter, though he acknowledged the prolonged legal process required for resolution. While the details of the lawsuit remain undisclosed and the outcome uncertain, it's noteworthy that Adept has yet to comment on the situation.
Regardless of whether xQc succeeds in retrieving the highly prized $300k McLaren, he undoubtedly possesses the financial means to acquire such assets. Last year, he secured a monumental $100 million deal with Twitch's rival streaming platform Kick.com, marking one of the largest deals in streaming history. This significant partnership attracted widespread attention, even catching the interest of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal. Upon learning of the staggering amount involved, Shaq humorously toyed with the idea of entering the streaming realm himself and extended his congratulations to xQc for his successful venture with Kick.
