It was certainly a busy November 1st for popular YouTuber Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem on social media, as he found himself in hot water with not one but two popular female content creators.
After being called out by YouTuber ‘SSSNiperwolf’ for jokingly calling one her fans a virgin, KEEMSTAR later engaged in a war of words over Twitter with ‘Pokimane,’ who is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch.
Pokimane disapproved of Keem’s approach towards “an innocent fan,” in spite of what feelings he may have about a certain content creator.
“It’s fine to dislike another content creator, but you probably shouldn’t hate on innocent fans,” she tweeted. “Realize you have an audience that will also attack them. Do better Keem. For your information, joking about a fan ‘suiciding’ isn’t cute either.”
KEEMSTAR took exception to her comments, and posted this video in response, in which he explains that his comments were made as a joke and essentially calls her “fake” for “overreacting.”

Poki fired back with her own Twitter video, further clarifying her previous comments about not approving of Keem’s behavior and choice of words when speaking about fans of other content creators, and advising him to “do better.”

Keem was not going to let things stop there however, as he responded with yet another video, this one a little more harsh and to the point.
In this video, he essentially calls her out for “being on a pedestal” and “thinking she’s better than everyone else,” which he essentially chalks down to her being a “fake bitch.”

Pokimane chose to respond with a tweet rather than another video: “Resorting to cheap shots for easy Twitter likes, a classic grown man’s move. I’ll just end by saying that the fact you deleted your Tweets is enough proof that even you think what you did was messed up, or you can’t even stand by your own opinion.”
ah resorting to cheap shots for easy twitter likes, a classic grown man’s move. I’ll just end by saying that the fact you deleted your tweets is enough proof that even you think what you did was messed up (or you can’t even stand by your own opinion lol).
