xQc vs FaZe Lacy controversy explained
(Image via X/@xQc and Faze Lacy) What happens when two of the internet's loudest voices start throwing shade? You get a classic Twitch drama showdown. On one side: xQc, the chaotic Canadian powerhouse. On the other hand, FaZe Lacy, the up-and-coming firestarter with FaZe Clan cred. Their online spat over relationships, loyalty, and petty digs had fans glued to their screens. So… What Started This Mess? It all kicked off on June 25, 2025, when xQc fired up his Twitch stream and randomly dragged Lacy's relationship with Darla into the spotlight. For context, Lacy and Darla were previously a thing, broke up in 2024 after cheating rumors, and then kinda-sorta got back together in June 2025. Lacy 'claimed' Darla on stream but made it clear: 'She's not going to be in my content, not gon' be on my streams, none of that. Let me handle my sh*t, off camera.' Lacy had publicly announced Darla was his girlfriend again just a few weeks prior. While he clarified she wouldn't be part of his content, the internet had other ideas. Many fans remembered the 2024 fallout when it came out that Darla had allegedly cheated on Lacy. The breakup was messy, and he had called her actions "evil" at the time. xQc ROASTS FaZe Lacy for Getting Back with Darla Claire | Lacy Responds xQc Calls Lacy a "Loser" A few weeks later, xQc went full send. On stream, he ripped into Lacy, straight-up calling him a 'loser' for getting back with someone who allegedly cheated on him multiple times: 'Is he f**king stupid? How is he even allowed in the house? How do they allow themselves to live around such a loser?" He also added that Darla might have been dating Lacy for the money , while seeing someone else behind his back. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Maharashtra Mosquito Crisis Solved by Strange New Device (See How) Mosquito Eliminator Read More Undo His chat claimed she had cheated on Lacy three times, and xQc ran with it. Lacy Fires Back: 'You're 35 and Getting Sued' Lacy wasn't about to stay quiet. In a response stream, he clapped back by bringing up xQc's legal drama with ex-girlfriend Adept. 'You're 30, you're 35... you're 35 and you're getting sued... Worry about your lawsuit, bruh.' Ouch. For context, Adept had filed multiple lawsuits against xQc, one of which demanded $10 million. While xQc has reportedly won three countersuits, some cases are still ongoing. xQc's Warning: 'You'll Be $35K in Debt' In true xQc fashion, he didn't let that slide. Toward the end of the stream, he warned Lacy that if he kept playing around, he'd end up '$35,000 in debt', seemingly referencing his own costly legal experience. He added: 'If love is what you seek, then get all the love... but now, you're 0-0, that is such a good spot to be in.' xQc claimed the feud was all in good fun—but also hinted at disbelief over Lacy's choice to reunite with Darla. Whether it's genuine beef or classic Twitch drama bait, the xQc vs FaZe Lacy saga is everything fans expect from the livestream world: messy, personal, and impossible to ignore. One thing's for sure—this feud is far from over, and we'll all be watching. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Three year old and four others killed after flash flooding in West Virginia
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Five people, including a three-year-old child, have died and three others are missing after severe flash flooding hit West Virginia. Around 2.5 to 4 inches of rain fell in half an hour on Saturday night in the city of Wheeling, which is around 200 miles north east of the capital city of Charleston, while people climbed trees to escape. Officials have said that one of the victims is a three-year old child but no further details have been given about the others, according to the New York Times. A block of flats in West Virginia partially collapsed and residents were evacuated after the severe flooding, CBS News said. More Trending Lou Vargo, Ohio County's emergency management director, said during a news conference yesterday: 'We almost immediately started getting 911 calls for rescue of people being trapped. 'During this time, we had major infrastructure damage to roads, bridges, and highways where we couldn't respond to a lot of incidents. So we were delayed in getting there because there was just so much damage. 'It happened so quickly and so fast… I've been doing this for 35 years. I've seen major floods here in the city and the county. I've never seen anything like this.' A resident in Fairmont, whose pet dog was killed in the flooding, posted on GoFundMe: 'In a matter of hours, [my mom] lost her pet, Darla, clothes, furniture, personal belongings, and even her vehicle. The place she called home is now unrecognisable.' Got a story? Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ Or you can submit your videos and pictures here.
