Pokimane protected her friend Valkyrae from a stranger
Anys recently shared a clip from an old vlog on her second YouTube channel, Pokimane Too. In the video, the Twitch Queen was walking down a street at night with Valkyrae and Michael Reeves. However, they come across two strangers on the road, just after Reeves was seen saying, “It’s your best friend in the world” to the fellow streamers.
One of the strangers looked at Valkyrae and said, “Hey, what’s up shorty?” The YouTube Queen didn’t reply to the stranger and kept walking. However, Poki jumped in to help her friend out of that situation.

The Morocco-Canadian informed the stranger, “She has a boyfriend, sorry.” Although after taking a few steps, Rae couldn’t hold it anymore and said, “You are shorty.” Hearing Rachell counter the comment made on her by repeating the same, Poki and Michael burst into laughter.
Imane knows Rachell for so long that she doesn’t remember
Pokimane shared in one of her livestreams that she has forgotten how long she’s been friends with Valkyrae. The Twitch streamer said, “I’ve known Rae for so long like I can’t even f**king remember. It was that long ago like I swear to God, I have a memory of Rae like playing, like streaming on her Gamecube or something in like curly hair.”
