Appearing on stream, Sketch, whose real name is Kylie Cox, addressed the speculation that it was him in the videos, which featured same-sex content, telling his viewers, “That was me, it’s okay though. Two years ago I did some stuff, I’m sorry if you’ve seen some of the stuff, I’m a changed person.”
Able to laugh about it all, he joked, “I did not have sexual relations with that man! Just kidding, I did,” referencing the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal.
He also thanked his parents and YouTuber and CEO of FaZe Clan FaZe Banks for supporting him, adding that his friends and family had intervened and “saved him.” Banks expressed his support for Cox, writing, “Sketch was my homie yesterday, he’s my homie today, he’ll be my homie tomorrow.”
the only thing the sketch drama exposed for me is how homophobic some of y’all are

Predictably, some people (homophobes) responded negatively, including Kick streamer Konvy, who took the opportunity to drop a couple of slurs during his stream in response to the news. Others were quick to criticize the homophobia as well as the fact there was even any drama around this to begin with. As one person pointed out, “allegations” accompanying someone’s name usually means they’ve committed a heinous crime, not had sex with a man for an OnlyFans video.
Cox gained fame earlier this year for his catchphrase of, “What’s up brother,” and has since met big names like Jack Harlow and MrBeast and appeared on SportsCenter to announce the Texans’ draft pick earlier this year.
