Twitch sensation Pokimane is addressing criticism after disclosing her direct messages with FaZe Kaysan during a live stream, where he playfully asked her out to dinner. This revelation came in the wake of an earlier conversation aimed at resolving their “beef” over differing perspectives on gambling streams and platforms like Stake.
In response to her message about reconciling, Kaysan jokingly stated, “No, not the FaZe boys, just us. How else can we become friends?” This prompted a humorous reaction from Pokimane and her viewers, as they perceived flirtatious undertones in his remark. She laughed and responded with a hands-up emoji, expressing her jest with “SMH.”

While many viewers enjoyed the interaction, a segment of the audience criticized Pokimane for publicly sharing her chat with Kaysan, especially after she declined his dinner invitation.
Pokimane’s Response to Backlash
The following day, Pokimane took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to the backlash after a user accused her of sharing DMs for clout. In her quote-retweet, she said: “It’s genuinely disheartening how often misinformation is spread just to paint me as the bad guy.”
She clarified, “I did not leak Kaysan’s DMs; we were both streaming the DMs, and that’s how he responded to me before I even hit send. This was all jokes, please don’t twist it into something else.”

Reacting to further comments, she acknowledged, “Unfortunately, I’ve seen sooo many replies like this. Like, okay, I’m a b*tch sometimes, but not in this instance LOL.”

In an additional comment, Poki clarified that Kaysan was aware of her streaming the conversation, explaining the playful nature of his dinner offer.
Kaysan appeared to handle the situation well, joking about the incident during his own live stream. He remarked, “Hey, she’s a pretty girl, okay? You guys should never be afraid to shoot your shot. …it’s all good, it’s not a big deal.”
