On December 3, 2024, allegations against AMP-affiliated Twitch streamer Duke Dennis began circulating on social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter). These claims date back to 2014, suggesting that Dennis, at the age of 20, allegedly had a child with a 15-year-old. The controversy gained traction after X user @ulxa posted screenshots purportedly showing the minor referring to Duke as her “baby daddy.” The post quickly went viral, amassing millions of impressions.
Duke Dennis, a well-known figure in the online community, has publicly denied these accusations, maintaining that they are baseless and part of a larger scheme of animosity between his family and the minor’s family. Speaking out against the renewed allegations, the Twitch star emphasized their falsehood and condemned those perpetuating the claims without seeking the truth.
“You know I don’t give a sh*t, give attention to it because after the whole thing gets over with and after it is all said and done, none of them are going to say sorry,” Dennis said in response to the viral posts. He highlighted the lack of accountability from those spreading misinformation, stating that apologies rarely match the volume of the accusations.
Duke Dennis’s Side of the Story
The allegations are not new; Dennis had previously addressed them in 2020, providing context for the claims. According to him, the accusations stemmed from a feud between his family and the minor’s family. He explained that the minor and her mother allegedly fabricated the story to retaliate after the girl’s brother was convicted of murdering one of Dennis’s relatives.
“The only reason I was in that situation was because somebody killed my cousin,” he said in a prior statement. Dennis further detailed how the animosity between their families led to false accusations: “It was some disrespect… Your brot her just killed my cousin!”
Despite the severe implications of the allegations, Dennis shared that he has chosen to forgive those involved. “I forgive the dude who killed my cousin. I forgive the girl who went and did that,” he stated, emphasizing that his record was expunged, and he was found not guilty.
A Recurring Issue
Even after addressing the matter years ago, the allegations have resurfaced. This time, Dennis refrained from diving into details and instead addressed the matter briefly on Snapchat, reiterating his stance that the accusations are unfounded.
The resurgence of these allegations highlights the challenges faced by public figures in handling misinformation and online scrutiny. While Duke Dennis remains firm in his denials, the incident serves as a reminder of the complexities of dealing with long-standing family disputes and the impact of social media in reigniting old controversies.
