Ronaldo’s Heartfelt Gesture
Ronaldo, who was welcomed into the FaZe Clan in 2022, took to social media on December 30 to celebrate LeBron James’s 40th birthday with a heartfelt message. His tribute, filled with affection, described the Los Angeles Lakers player as his “glorious king”and included personal touches that resonated with fans.
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. LeBron… Happy 40th Birthday. Honey, my pookie bear, I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies’ eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous… pic.twitter.com/elL7y1TpSI

Reaction from xQc
The heartfelt post quickly gained traction, amassing over a million views. However, xQc, a popular Twitch streamer, did not share the same enthusiasm. During his live stream on Kick, he came across Ronaldo’s lengthy message and expressed his frustration, stating, “Bro I’m not trying to read all that. I’m done with this guy,”leading him to block Ronaldo on X.

Ronaldo’s Response
Upon learning of his unexpected ban, Ronaldo responded openly, questioning xQc’s decision. He expressed his disappointment, pointing out that he had been a “Tier 3 sub”to xQc for nearly four years and had contributed over $3,000 in donations. “Have donated you over $3,000, and you block me? Is this how you treat your fans?”he fumed, labeling xQc a “f**king weirdo.”
I just received your donation of $10,000 USD. Unblocked. Thank you

The Nature of their Exchange
While the interaction may have seemed serious on the surface, the swift resolution and comedic undertones indicated that both Ronaldo and xQc were likely playing up the drama for entertainment. Notably, xQc’s exchanges with other creators can often carry a sharper tone, as he recently clashed with Twitch streamer Fanum regarding the content quality of Kick streamers.
In conclusion, this moment highlights the playful yet volatile relationships that often exist in the online content creation space, where humor and rivalry coexist among creators.
