It has been months since, on December 26, 2024, Canadian rap superstar Drake made a Christmas-themed livestream appearance with Adin Ross, and it is there that he made a comment that has taken the internet by storm. During jokes and betting with Adin Ross and other streamers on the platform Kick, Drake all of a sudden spoke of xQc’s girlfriend, Aikobliss, calling her “super chill” and “a sweetheart.” The moment that remark left his mouth, it got Adin going into a fit of laughter and sparked a wildfire across social media.
Amid the boisterous banter and talking about streams and rap culture, Drake did manage to talk about Aikobliss, albeit in passing: “You know who I wish was here right now and is chill? Aikobliss. I met her during another stream; she’s super chill… she’s super sweet, she’s a sweetheart.” The admission clearly took Adin Ross by surprise, who burst out laughing and exclaimed, “Bro… you are insane.
While Drake told the story of how he met Aikobliss weeks ago during a stream, it was his rather innocuous comment that became one of the most discussed moments of the night. The clip quickly made its way across X and Reddit, where many were shocked, amused, and debating.
Drake’s comment split the internet. To some of his fans, the comment was light and innocuous, but to others, it was “weird” and inappropriate. One critical user commented, “Drake is so fking weird. Saying he wishes some random girl he met once was on stream with him is kinda fking weird I’d say. Especially unprovoked out of nowhere like that.”.
Speculation ran wild, with some thinking there was more to the tension between Drake and xQc. Redditors theorized he may have been offended during an earlier stream with xQc when a song by The Weeknd-amid Drake and The Weeknd’s very public feud-played inadvertently. “Classic Drake, issue with someone? Take it out on their significant other,” one user wrote.
Reactions have not all been critical, though. There are those fans who felt he wanted to stir the attention just to farm some clips on a topic that many may love: “Say what you want but Drake is clip farming harder than the top streamers,” one joked online.
Neither xQc nor Aikobliss has spoken up about it publicly, so the situation remains a speculation for the fans. xQc took to making light of it by admitting that he was “nervous af” to have his girlfriend brought up so unexpectedly.
The moment quickly went viral, showing just how the lines between A-list celebrities like Drake and this online streaming community continue to blur. From Kick to Twitch, streamers are using platforms that have become hotbeds for mashing up traditional celebrity culture with the burgeoning popularity of streamers. With the way simple statements during livestreams tend to go viral, that divide gets even smaller.
Drake’s comment also brings into view the fact that even the most innocuous interactions can stir up debates, memes, and discussions that create ripples far beyond the initial event.
