C. Jay Cox was dissected on X after Kick streamer Vitaly made some contentious claims on Kick. The latter accused the Hollywood screenwriter of engaging inappropriately with a 15-year-old. In what has since been dubbed a sting operation, a photo of Cox and Kendrick Lamar has since resurfaced.

A video of C. Jay Cox reacting to the accusations is also doing the rounds online, drawing varied reactions. Several online are critiquing the same, calling him a pedophile and more. Here's what one user said:

"Truly disturbing."

Scores online concurred. However, others pointed out that Lamar was simply taking a photo with a fan, and the theories were reaching.

"Affiliate in what way exactly? Has kendrick claimed him as a friend? Having a few pictures with a fan from compton doesn't mean they're close with kendrick like Drake is with Karl Malone. Is this guy in stage at the ken ands friend pop out concert?" one user pointed out.
"Nigga was a fan and probably asked for a pic and yall proceed to call him an “affiliate”. nasty work," another joked.
"Kendrick was projecting we all know this by now," someone else claimed.
"Kendrick probly hasn’t spoke to this man in years drake fans trying so hard to cope," yet another opined.

Online, the conversation seemingly pivoted into yet another Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar conversation:

"It’s Over try to find something to big Drake up because he’s definitely spiraling out of control!! KDOT," one user declared.
"Lmaooooo yall be looking for anything..," another joked.
"Shi it seems like he aint been around Kendrick in some time these are old pics from like 2015 and 18," another pointed out.
'“They not like us” yes we know Kendrick. We know," a fourth person joked.

The internet was once again divided between K.Dot fans and Drake fans.


C. Jay Cox gets caught live on camera acting indecently with an alleged minor

Vitaly, posing as a 15-year-old, attempted to lure C. Jay Cox to meet him under the guise of a meeting. Cox, unaware that he was being recorded, allegedly made some inappropriate gestures and comments. The video was broadcast live, and a clip of the same has been doing the rounds online.

In it, Cox can be seen taking the shorts off of a boy, whom he believes is underage. At another point, the screenwriter appears to be indecent, while the boy is in a chokehold. As the stream goes on, a handful of men swoop in to tell him he has been caught live on camera.

Once confronted, C. Jay Cox looked visibly distressed as he tried to flee the scene. A user called Shadow of Ezra took to X to upload the footage, and the tweet read:

"Cox was caught entering the home of a boy he believed to be just 15 years old, only to be confronted after engaging in inappropriate behavior. The mainstream media has not reported on this."

The video has since garnered over 156K likes, 51K retweets, and several thousand comments. As for views, at the time of writing, it has clocked in with over 26.7 million. C. Jay Cox has yet to release a statement on the same.
