xQc says he got a verification badge without paying for it like Valkyrae

Interestingly, xQc is also verified on Twitter now. The French-Canadian Twitch personality was reacting to TikToks on a live stream recently when some of his viewers notified him about the blue check mark beside his name.

However, xQc states he did not pay for it. “Boom! How?! How?! Chat, how did I get it? I didn’t pay for it!”

The 27-year-old content creator couldn’t pay for the subscription because his payment methods are Canadian, according to a SportsKeeda report. Apparently, he couldn’t process the transaction.

“Guys, I cannot pay for it. You want to know why? Because the only payment that I have are all Canadian. And iPhone does not process any Canadian stuff on U.S. stuff! I can’t even buy it! Even if I want to buy it, I can’t do it! (The streamer shows a screenshot of his verified profile) Boom!”
