In this article, we will explore some personalities who have been deemed to be the most controversial influencers across various platforms. Join us as we delve into the lives of xQc, Adin Ross, Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, and IShowSpeed, discover the controversies surrounding them, and uncover the reasons why they have become must-watch figures, as per TikTok.

xQc

Felix Lengyel, better known as xQc, recently made headlines with his lucrative $100 million deal upon joining Kick. This astonishing deal left many fellow streamers, as well as his viewers, amazed, sparking discussions across the streaming community. However, controversy soon ensued following xQc's move to a new house in Texas.

The controversy took a turn when xQc's ex-girlfriend, Adept, became involved. As she held the documents related to xQc's new Texas home, tensions escalated between the two. Speculations and rumors started circulating, including claims of a secret marriage that apparently lasted three years. The situation intensified when Adept allegedly visited xQc's house and supposedly took all his childhood pictures. This ongoing saga has been the talk of the town for the past two months, captivating the attention of the streaming community and beyond. As of late, he has also been embroiled in a spat with Pokimane related to her views about Kick as a platform.

Adin Ross

Adin Ross is a notable streamer on Kick who made waves as the first renowned streamer to join Kick, an emerging streaming platform, accumulating an impressive following of over 400k. He has been involved in several controversies across social media platforms, but one particular dispute arose when he took to his alternative Twitter account and directed harmful comments towards fellow streamer HasanAbi and online reporter Jake Lucky, suggesting that they "kill" themselves. Due to the violation of Twitter's guidelines, the post was promptly removed. Nevertheless, the comments circulated within their respective fan communities sparked a flurry of reactions.

Ross also received flak for being an ardent follower of Andrew Tate and for being involved in a Twitch controversy with fellow streamer Amouranth. Before moving to Kick, he was banned on Twitch several times, mostly for his use of slurs and hateful conduct.

Andrew Tate

Andrew Tate, a highly controversial influencer, has gained significant attention and is followed by seven million people on Twitter. However, his online presence has been marred by serious allegations of rape, human trafficking, and money laundering. Currently under house arrest in Romania alongside his brother Tristan Tate, Andrew continues to engage with his followers regularly, addressing various aspects of his life, mental health, and the allegations leveled against him.

One particular allegation sparked a fierce disagreement within the fan community as Andrew expressed his views on the LGBTQ+ community. A video of Andrew discussing the matter emerged on Twitter, showcasing his controversial stance and his characteristic contentious style as he portrays the apparent escalation. It is worth noting that he has a history of making offensive remarks, including misogynistic views, further adding to the disagreements surrounding him. In the past, Andrew has been banned on several social media platforms, but his videos keep getting circulated by his diligent followers, be it on TikTok or other social media platforms.

Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan, a UFC color commentator and a prominent figure in the world of MMA, has garnered an enormous following of over 17 million on Instagram. Additionally, he is a highly successful stand-up comedian and runs a successful podcast called 'The Joe Rogan Experience', where he engages in conversations with renowned personalities and experts from various fields.

One of Rogan's talks stirred up significant controversy across social media platforms when he expressed his views on the Covid-19 vaccine. Rogan claimed that healthy individuals who are 21 years old or above do not need to take the vaccine, further suggesting that those who maintain a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet need not worry about getting vaccinated. Another instance of Rogan's controversial remarks emerged when he shared his stance on athlete Fallon Fox, a transgender woman, arguing that she possessed an unfair physical advantage and could potentially cause life-threatening harm to her opponents.

IShowSpeed

Darren Watkins Jr aka IShowSpeed, is a prominent YouTuber and streamer with a staggering subscriber base of 18 million. Recently, he was surrounded by controversy for apparently leaking the addresses and phone numbers of fellow streamers on one of his live streams. Known for his peculiar behaviors and reactions during streams, he has carved a unique niche for himself, which might not be well-liked by everyone.

Moreover, Speed has not shied away from making controversial comments about fellow streamers and popular influencers. One notable controversy arose when he criticized renowned football player Lionel Messi, claiming that he is the worst player and can only dribble the ball. He even went on to compare Messi unfavorably to Spanish football player Alejandro Garnacho, asserting that Garnacho is far superior to Messi.
