Duke Dennis Responds to Paternity Rumors and Viral “Eight Kids” Claim
Duke Dennis, one of the most recognizable names in the streaming world, has finally spoken out about the growing speculation surrounding his personal life. The internet has been buzzing with rumors claiming Dennis secretly fathered a child—and possibly more. Now, the AMP co-founder and Twitch star is setting the record straight.
Known off-camera as Denzel Shaquille, Duke has built a loyal following with his smooth energy, quick wit, and laid-back demeanor. But this week, his calm presence was challenged by a social media storm. After images of a woman alleged to be his child’s mother surfaced online, fans quickly turned the conversation into full-blown gossip.
Duke Explains His Silence Was About Protection
In a recent stream, Duke didn’t shy away from the topic. He addressed the rumors directly, confirming that he has kept certain parts of his life off the internet for a reason. “The internet is not always a safe place,” he said, explaining that the toxicity people experience online can harm families and children who didn’t ask for fame.
Duke emphasized he’s never been someone to flaunt his personal life. “I wouldn’t even post a girlfriend,” he said. “People online play games. There’s a complete lack of respect for privacy, and I’m not feeding into that.”
His response was serious but composed, reminding fans that privacy is a personal boundary—not an invitation for speculation.
Darcii Speaks Out: “Yes, I Have a Son With Duke”
Adding to the public discussion, streamer Darcii posted on social media confirming that Duke Dennis is the father of her son. While she didn’t go into detail, she noted, “Life goes on though. I don’t want people in my business for real, but my son exists, and he is very much his son.”
She also claimed that Duke is not actively involved in their lives, though she didn’t elaborate further. Her decision to speak out seemed more about clearing the air than sparking drama.
Debunking the “Eight Kids” Rumor
As the internet does, it didn’t stop at one rumor. Over the weekend, a wild claim went viral that Duke Dennis had fathered as many as eight children. Duke addressed that head-on, calling it flat-out false. “I do not have eight kids,” he said firmly. “And if I did, y’all would never know. That’s not a part of my life I ever want to share.”
He made it clear that no matter how famous he gets, some things will always stay private.
Still a Streaming Star and AMP Powerhouse
Despite the noise, Duke Dennis continues to thrive. His content remains popular across Twitch and YouTube, and he’s still one of the standout personalities in the AMP collective. The group—which includes Kai Cenat, Fanum, Agent 00, Davis, and ChrisNxtDoor—has become a staple in the content creator world.
Their mix of real-life challenges, comedy, and gaming antics has earned them millions of followers. Whether he’s reacting to fan content or competing in viral challenges, Duke keeps delivering—and his fans continue to show love.
Through it all, he’s proving that sometimes, staying unbothered is the best response.
