The internet loves a wild rumor. And Duke Dennis is hilariously clearing the ones about him up.

Apparently, the breakout star of Kai Cenat’s streaming collective AMP is the father of eight children—according to TikTok and X detectives, that is. But Duke is setting the record straight in a new streaming clip going viral. 

“I do not have eight fucking kids, which is no offense to anybody who do. All right?” he said. “But I've been actually watching y'all take that and run with it, and post it and post about it, and post it in, like, bold print, as if you know for a fact that's the case, when it is not the case."

If you're wondering why Duke’s possible dad-count even made headlines, so are we. As clips of Streamer University went viral back to back to back to back, so did a flurry a rumors about some of the participants including, Duke. With his signature grills, Southern charm, and deadpan delivery, Duke’s amassed a massive fanbase that loves to joke about everything, including how he must be with the ladies. But maybe they took it too far this time?

“That’s just what the internet is nowadays,” he said. “But that's not even what I'm saying is bothering me. It was just, like, the shit is just so wild to me, bro. So, once again, I apologize. And it's not seven, which is wild as well! But whatever number y'all throwing out, is not correct, though. But that's besides the point."

While Duke said he’s posted pics of his brother, he still has his boundaries. He says he’s always been clear that when it comes to his extended family, the internet won't get a peek.

“I done told y'all over and over again. Just, like, the fourth year in a row,” he said. “I done told y'all that, like, there's certain parts of my life that I just don't want to share with y'all. All right? I'm never ever going to post my family.”

Fair. Just because he and the AMP team show you all kinds of wild stunts online doesn’t mean he owes you a family tree.

So, to recap: No, Duke Dennis is not secretly running a daycare.
