Rumours are floating around that Pokimane is losing subscribers and viewers because she reportedly has a boyfriend, but that’s just not true.
The 24-year-old world famous Twitch streamer whose real name is Imane Anys was recently targeted by a popular commentary commentator known as Leafy. The video suggested that the Pokimane had a boyfriend and that she had no intention on revealing that information.
“If you ever happen to come across one of her big time fans on your way to the grocery store or whatnot, be sure to remind them that she has a boyfriend, because I think that they would really love to hear that little piece of information,” Leafy said in his YouTube video entitled “Content Nuke: Pokimane.”
Imane “Pokimane” Anys subs are steadily growing even after the popular Twitch streamer went on her break.
During the weekend the hashtag #pokimaneboyfriend was trending which prompted the Moroccan-Canadian Twitch streamer to respond.
She jokingly tweeted a picture of herself with a cardboard cutout of Barrack Obama claiming that the 43rd president of the United States was her secret boyfriend.
Outraged fans accused Pokimane of being “fake” and exploiting lonely men for their money. Some of these anonymous Twitter accounts claimed to be tier 3 subscribers and said that they will be immediately canceling their subscriptions.
