Pokimane slams backlash over \u201cflexing her wealth\u201d in viral makeup-free tweet Twitch, Twitter: PokimaneTwitch star Pokimane is hitting back at criticism for \u201cflexing her wealth\u201d in a viral tweet where she used her infamous makeup-free selfie. Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys met up with fellow influencer Jidion on February 15 \u2014 nearly a month after he orchestrated a hate raid against her that resulted in his permanent suspension from Twitch. Despite the overwhelming amount of harassment Pokimane received as a result of the raid, the two made it clear they are on good terms and even want to collab again in the future. During their meetup, Jidion dared Pokimane to use her infamous makeup-free photo as a way to hit back at the haters \u2014 by using their own fodder against them. \u201cYou should just tweet out that picture of you,\u201d he said. \u201cJust be like, \u2018This face makes more money than you\u2019ll ever see in your life.’\u201d True to her word, Pokimane accepted the dare and posted the tweet as soon as Jidion\u2019s collab video went live. this face makes more money than you\u2019ll ever see in your life pic.twitter.com\/ZB1dtKexr8 \u2014 pokimane (@pokimanelol) February 15, 2022 Pokimane slams haters over makeup-free selfie While the post was met with major acclaim from Pokimane\u2019s fellow streamers and her fans, others felt as though she was unfairly flexing her wealth as a top streamer. Anys hit back at this criticism in a live stream the following day, claiming that those criticizing her tweet are missing the full context of the situation. \u201cI hope you get that mad at multi-million or billion-dollar conglomerates that take advantage of their workers, in comparison to a random girl on the internet who\u2019s been streaming and working hard for eight years to make her money and also employs numerous people at, if I do say so myself, pretty healthy and liveable amounts of money.\u201d \u201cAnd who, toward the people who try to discredit her achievements via the way she looks without makeup, is sh*tting on them, saying you are likely not successful at all,\u201d she continued. \u201cI do understand why people would be upset at others for flexing their wealth in general, but contextually, do these same people get mad when YouTubers showcase their brand-new Lambos?\u201d Poki added. It\u2019s clear that Pokimane is proud of her hard-earned cash and isn\u2019t afraid to put haters in their place \u2014 and neither is her friend and fellow streamer, Valkyrae, who also came to her defense over the post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
