Pokimane gets hilariously baited by 8-year-old\u2019s emotional message in Fortnite Pokimane, YouTube \/ MamaMia.comPopular Twitch streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is no stranger to online encounters with younger fans \u2013 but one interaction in Fortnite gave her quite the surprise. Pokimane went live with a Fortnite stream in early March when she received an urgent message from a fan, who claimed to be in a state of emotional distress. \u201cI\u2019m not having a good day and I want to talk to you,\u201d player \u2018RileyOMG123\u2019 wrote. \u201cI want someone to cheer me up. Please, I\u2019m crying.\u201d [Timestamp: 0:30 for mobile viewers.] Pokimane conceded to the fan\u2019s request out of apparent concern \u2013 only to be met with an onslaught of giggles from a group of youngsters. \u201cI told you I got her added,\u201d one fan said over the mic. \u201c\u2026I told you she was real.\u201d \u201cYou said you were crying!\u201d Pokimane shot back. \u201cJust to get me in here. Riley, you lied to me.\u201d \u201cDude, Riley said he was crying!\u201d she continued as the squad dropped into the map. \u201cI can\u2019t ignore someone being like, \u2018I\u2019m crying Poki, help!\u2019\u201d While Pokimane dutifully played through the rest of the game with the kids, she wasn\u2019t a fan of Riley\u2019s sneaky tactics \u2013 and even made sure to ask them about their progress in school, for good measure. While Pokimane frequently runs into children during her streams, not every fan interaction is positive; one young player made inappropriate advances toward the streamer during a broadcast in summer 2018, which prompted him to create an apology video after his antics went viral. However, not all interactions are bad ones, as she later paid a 13-year-old player over Fiverr to coach her in Fortnite during one humorous broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
