Meanwhile, Jerry “Silky” denied the claims. He said he was only driving around 70 mph in a 65 mph zone and would never risk anyone’s life. As of now, Jerry “Silky”’s Twitch channel remains active.

The controversy began after clips were shared on Reddit’s LivestreamFail community. In the footage, Jerry “Silky” can be seen listening to Lil Uzi Vert while changing lanes and overtaking cars at high speed. Some viewers pointed out that a navigation screen during the stream appeared to show numbers like 107, 115, and possibly 118 mph.
Felix “xQc” Lengyel reacted strongly during his own stream. He said, “Endangering fing grandma trying to make it to fing bingo, endangering a fing family tryna get back from fing work is fing insane, you’re stupid as s… This s*** is cringe, it’s f***ing cringe… what is wrong with these people anyway.”
After hearing about the criticism, Jerry “Silky” responded on X from a separate account. He wrote, “What a bot, bro said I was pushing my car past its limit, I was going 70 a 65 with minimal traffic LMAO, I wouldn’t put anyone’s lives at risk for dopamine rush gang.”Later, Felix “xQc” Lengyel reviewed the footage again and said, “I don’t want to be a narc, you’re already going 107… Deada**, it went 115.”Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt also gave his opinion. He said, “I’d prob at least give him a warning. You can’t drive like this on stream. It’s very unsafe… if there was a cop there, do you think this guy would get arrested? He probably would… I try to be liberal with this kind of stuff… it is reckless driving. Somebody driving like this is really dangerous on the road.”At this time, Twitch has not announced any action. The debate continues online as viewers remain divided over what really happened during the March 1 stream.
