Popular Twitch personality, xQc, also known as Félix Lengyel, has made headlines once more, this time for reasons unrelated to his gaming prowess or entertaining persona. In an unexpected turn of events, xQc has announced his intention to take legal measures against his ex-partner, Adept, with the aim of retrieving his $300k McLaren.
The tumultuous relationship between xQc and Adept has been a major point of interest over recent years. After an initial split in August 2021, both confirmed the breakup on their individual Twitter profiles, only to reconcile in December of the same year. However, their final separation occurred in late 2022, culminating in a heated public confrontation witnessed by 125,000 live viewers. This led to a series of accusations and revelations, including revelations from legal documents indicating that the couple had been married from August 2020 to October 2022. Notably, these documents included a court order prohibiting xQc from discussing the situation on Twitch or any other social media platform.
xQc's Legal Battle to Regain McLaren Ownership
Another significant issue has been xQc's McLaren 720s Spider, which Adept claimed possession of by arguing that xQc lacked a valid US driver's license as a Canadian citizen at the time. Despite the car allegedly belonging to xQc, it had to be transferred to Adept due to registration complications. However, recent developments indicate that xQc is pursuing legal action against Adept to reclaim ownership of the McLaren. During a recent Kick stream, xQc addressed the matter when asked about repurchasing his 'supercar,' simply stating 'Nope, it’s gone,' showing hesitance to buy it back and deeming Adept's purported unauthorized sale in defiance of legal restrictions as unreasonable.
Renowned Twitch and Kick personality xQc has confirmed his lawsuit against Adept regarding the issue, noting the extended legal process required for resolution. While the specifics of the legal action are undisclosed and the outcome uncertain, it is worth mentioning that Adept has not yet responded to the situation.
Irrespective of whether xQc successfully retrieves his prized $300k McLaren, he undeniably possesses the financial capacity to acquire such assets. In the previous year, he sealed a monumental $100 million deal with Kick.com, Twitch's competitor in the streaming industry, making it one of the most significant agreements in streaming history. This substantial partnership garnered widespread attention, even drawing the interest of NBA icon Shaquille O'Neal. Upon learning about the substantial sum involved, Shaq amusingly flirted with the idea of venturing into streaming himself and extended his well wishes to xQc for his prosperous collaboration with Kick.
