In the midst of this discourse, YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul also voiced his skepticism aboutxQc’s deal with Kickduring a podcast. He questioned the exorbitant amount involved and delved into the potential loss of a significant portion of xQc’s earnings due to taxes. However, xQc did not take kindly to these remarks and offered his own perspective on the matter. He criticized the common practice of individuals boasting about their own accomplishments but, when judging someone else’s success, attributing it solely to external factors such as taxes.
To counter Logan Paul’s comments,Twitchstar xQc emphasized his extensive knowledge and understanding of taxes, stating that he frequently engages in discussions about taxes because he takes them seriously and considers himself a ‘tax nerd.’ xQc firmly believes that taxes are applicable to everyone and criticizes those who boast about evading taxes, categorizing it as tax evasion. Additionally, xQc finds it perplexing and uncomfortable that people approach these matters in such a manner, which he believes indicates a lack of authenticity or genuine appreciation. While acknowledging that Logan Paul’s comments may have been intended as a joke, xQc perceives a certain level of insincerity or subservience underlying these remarks.
While it is evident that xQc’s mega Kick deal has generated significant attention, it will be intriguing to observe which top content creators will be the next to switch platforms and the value of their respective deals. It is worth mentioning that popular streamerDr Disrespect has already expressed his intentions to transition from YouTube to Kick, provided he receives the requested amount.
