Twitch star Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys has found herself in hot water after sharing a series of private DMs from FaZe Kaysan during her December 2 broadcast. The controversial moment began when Pokimane was addressing rumors of a supposed feud between her and Kaysan, which she was unaware of. In an attempt to smooth things over, she reached out to Kaysan, only to be met with an unexpected response.
Kaysan, who previously apologized for misjudging Pokimane, responded by offering her dinner to “become better friends.” However, things took an awkward turn when he clarified that the dinner was meant to be a one-on-one outing, not a group event with the FaZe boys. His message hinted at a potentially flirty vibe, which sent Pokimane and her viewers into a fit of laughter.
As the conversation continued, Pokimane shared the exchange with her millions of followers, laughing at the awkwardness of the situation. However, her decision to leak the private DMs quickly attracted backlash. Some viewers found the moment amusing, while others criticized her for exposing Kaysan’s private messages without his consent. “Okay not gonna lie, this is lame as hell for showing the DMs,” one user commented, while another added, “Why is she doing this sht? That’s fcked up.”
Kaysan later responded to the backlash, clarifying that his intention was never romantic, but rather a friendly gesture. “It’s all good, it’s not a big deal,” he said during his own stream. He also joked about the incident, referencing a past interaction with singer Madison Beer. Despite the tension, both streamers have since laughed off the situation, with Pokimane enjoying the endless memes that emerged from the leaked messages.
