Valkyrae explains why Pokimane and JiDion teaming up after drama was \u201csmartest thing\u201d JiDion\/YouTube: PokimaneYouTube streaming star Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter has explained why Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys and Jidion \u2018JiDion\u2019 Adams teaming up for a collab after their beef was the \u201csmartest thing\u201d for both of them. On January 12, Pokimane was forced to end her stream early after a \u2018hate raid\u2019 from JiDion, who then found himself permanently banned from Twitch as a result. While there was ongoing drama between both the streamers and their communities, with JiDion even having to urge his fans to leave Pokimane alone, that beef appears to have settled. On February 3, JiDion and Pokimane posted a picture to social media together looking like good friends, in a move that shocked many of both of their fans. While people have questioned the situation, Valkyrae actually said during her February 3 stream that it was a great move for them to team up. \u201cI actually talked to her on the phone about it, and I just feel like that is literally the smartest and best thing they could have done,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a win-win situation for everyone involved, except for Ninja. \u201cI think him doing that, and doing content with Poki and OTV, it\u2019s so good for both parties, and also reconciling or showing the beef is squashed, it\u2019s going to make it so that his community doesn\u2019t sh*t on her anymore.\u201d Timestamp 3:26:10 Repeating that it\u2019s \u201creally good\u201d for both parties, Rae clearly thinks this collaboration is a stroke of genius. What Valkyrae hasn\u2019t been quite so impressed by in February, though, was TikTok star Addison Rae launching her own skincare product intended to protect from blue light \u2014 something she herself faced a plethora of backlash for when she announced the now-defunct RFLCT back in October 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
