The feud escalated following TwitchCon 2025 in San Diego, where Ludwig detailed a heated conversation with the French-Canadian streamer.<!-- --> Fans and fellow creators are now debating the events that sparked this online showdown.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What happened at TwitchCon 2025 between xQc and Ludwig<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>On October 24, 2025, Ludwig publicly recounted his interaction with xQc during the TwitchCon event. According to Ludwig, xQc admitted to having little concern over allegations that HasanAbi allegedly used a shock collar on his dog, Kaya. Ludwig described xQc as the \u201csingle biggest person driving the CollarGate drama\u201d and labeled him a \u201cchaotic evil human.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>In his remarks, Ludwig detailed that xQc told him: <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cI don\u2019t give a f**<\/span><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">k if he abuses the dog.

Ludwig suggested that xQc seems to enjoy fueling drama, leaving \u201csmolders\u201d behind without genuine care for the situation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>xQc responds to Ludwig\u2019s accusations<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Later that same day, xQc responded via X (formerly Twitter), disputing Ludwig\u2019s portrayal. He stated that the <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201clies and tactics are worse\u201d<\/span> and emphasized that, in his view, using a shock collar is bad, but <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u201cit\u2019s really not the end of the world\u201d<\/span><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">. <\/span>He further explained that he had spent about an hour speaking with Ludwig in real life to clarify the situation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>xQc also reiterated that his interest in the story is part of investigating and debunking online claims, emphasizing that accuracy matters for his community.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>xQc challenges Ludwig to prove HasanAbi collar lacks shock function, offers 1 BTC to Ludwig&#8217;s community<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Adding another twist, xQc made a public offer of one Bitcoin to Ludwig\u2019s community if they could show a device identical to HasanAbi\u2019s collar that does not have shock functionality.
