The stream, scheduled on November 24, 2024, began with xQc inviting the singer to his home. The 27-year-old streamer talked to Drake about his music, personal life, and future plans.
Moreover, the interaction included interactive segments such as tequila tasting, gaming discussions, and Drake sharing his experience with gambling. The release came on the same day as Kendrick Lamar’s album release.

Further, while taking the first shot in the stream, Drake said, “I’m here, as you can see, fully intact. Mind, body, and soul. You need facts to take me out; fairy tales won’t do it. Cheers to everybody.“
Many assumed that the comment was in response to Lamar’s previous release, Not Like Us, which made several accusations against the singer. The song mentioned that Drake had an inappropriate relationship with minors.
However, Drake didn’t elaborate on the matter later in the stream and mentioned that nothing can faze him anymore. Meanwhile, xQc didn’t push Drake to discuss his feud with Lamar to fizzle the issue.
As fans declared Lamar a victor of the battle, Drake was yet to release new music in response. Regardless, the recent stream gave fans hope that the feud isn’t over.
Rumors arose that the Drake and xQc livestream was a setup for a gambling event!
The stream included several other significant announcements in addition to the talk about Lamar. Before its release, Drake mentioned that fans were in for a surprise.
Drake announced that he planned a $500k giveaway for his fans. During the stream, the singer mentioned, “I need 500,000. Chat, don’t let this go to your head. That’s a thousand for everybody!“
Meanwhile, Kai Cenat chimed in on the conversation and claimed that gambling was the main reason for the announcement. Both Drake and xQc have a history of betting money on several issues.

Recently, Drake bet over $200k on Charles Leclerc during the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The F1 driver was competing to earn the Formula 1 World Championship title. However, fans mentioned that the person Drake supports tends to lose.
Additionally, fans claimed that Leclerc was on the singer’s “curse list.” Later, the driver finished fourth on the tracks, while Max Verstappen took home the world title.
Regardless, the live stream was a publicity stunt as Drake has been putting the finishing touches on his joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR. With the attention on the stream, fans’ curiosity has shifted to the singer’s project.
