What to Expect from the Collaboration
Drake, a well-known ambassador for the online casino platform Stake, has been an active presence on Kick, streaming gambling sessions to his followers. Similarly, xQc, one of the most prominent variety streamers globally, is no stranger to gambling streams and has been a vocal supporter of the genre despite controversies surrounding it.
Given their shared ties with Stake—Kick’s parent company—it’s widely speculated that the stream will center around gambling. Fans can likely expect high-stakes entertainment, punctuated by the duo’s larger-than-life personalities.

Reactions from the Streaming Community
The announcement has generated buzz not only among fans but also within the streaming community. Twitch star Kai Cenat, who recently broke records by becoming the first Twitch streamer to hit half a million concurrent subscribers, shared his thoughts during a live stream.
After seeing the Instagram post, Kai remarked on the Stake sponsorship and the gambling theme of the stream. “$500K giveaways? Oh, it’s a Stake stream. They’re going to be gambling and sh*t. I don’t understand gambling, chat,” he said, expressing mixed feelings about the collaboration.
In a humorous twist, Kai compared the giveaway amount to his Twitch subscriber count, quipping, “I need 500,000 for 500,000. That’s a thousand for everybody!”
xQc has been a long-time admirer of Drake, frequently showing support for the rapper on social media and during live streams. He even backed Drake in his feud with Kendrick Lamar and defended him against allegations of misconduct raised by critics.
As the date approaches, fans eagerly await this unique fusion of music and live streaming culture. Whether you’re tuning in for the giveaways, the gambling, or just the entertainment of two icons joining forces, this stream promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
