JiDion and Pokimane Surprising Collab

Nearly a month after organizing a hate raid on her that resulted in his permanent ban from Twitch, popular streamer Pokimane is launching a collaboration with fellow broadcaster Jidion.

Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys’ Twitch stream was forced to cease early on January 13th because followers of fellow broadcaster Jidion began spamming her chat and abusing her viewers on his orders. The controversy continued to escalate when Pokimane reported that she was receiving abusive and inappropriate messages on all of her social media sites. 

Jidion was permanently banned from Twitch as a result of the incident. Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, who suggested during a stream that he’d contacted his Twitch reps in an attempt to restore Jidion’s ban, also issued a legal threat against Pokimane. 

Jidion has now apologized for the hate raid and attempted to disassociate himself from Pokimane’s continuous abuse. The last week or two has been quite quiet on this front… until February 3, when Jidion sent out an unexpected Tweet. Jidion posted a photo of himself eating McDonald’s with none other than Pokimane, asking his fans if they had any questions for the two of them.

Jidion then went live on Instagram to give an update on the situation in a brief video. Fans’ questions would be answered in “three to five weeks,” according to the streamer, who added that it would only take him a “minute to post the video.” 

He went on to say, “I don’t like beef. I’m a chill dude. That’s all I gotta say. … If you have a disagreement with a person, it can always be mended. That’s all I’m gonna say.”

Pokimane herself weighed in on the unexpected change of events, making a witty reference to Jidion’s initial Twitch ban message from January. It’s unknown if these streamers have anything planned beyond their impending Q&A session, but it’s certainly throwing the internet for a loop, as many thought they’d never find common ground following what happened last month.

Apart from her funny tweet, Pokimane hasn’t said much about her surprise collaboration with Jidion, but she’s probably busy planning the big announcement of her future streaming platform after confirming that her exclusive Twitch deal is coming to an end.
