Star YouTuber Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter met up with tons of fans in Times Square after being put on a billboard for becoming the face of athletic wear brand Gymshark.
Valkyrae has begun winding down her live streaming on YouTube in favor of other creative endeavors.
While the 100 Thieves co-owner is still one of the premiere personalities on the platform, she’s opted to get involved with other projects to expand her portfolio as a content creator further. She has now landed a massive partnership in the process.
