Keemstar, a.k.a. Daniel Keem of DramaAlert, got into it with Pokimane in late 2018 when he judged some fellow content creators on their Halloween costumes. He made a joke about Alia “Sssniperwolf” Shelesh. Shelesh was promptly defended by her fans. Keemstar targeted one of the viewers who spoke out, making some unkind jabs that resulted in the viewer changing his Twitter avatar and account status. When confronted with negativity regarding this interaction, Keem doubled down and made more jokes.
Pokimane joined those calling him out on his behavior, posting a tweet that said, “It’s fine to dislike another content creator, but you probs shouldn’t hate on innocent fans. realize you have an audience that will also attack them, and most people aren’t used to receiving hate like that. do better, keem.” This led to a video feud between the two on the platform. Keem then deleted his original tweets about the viewer and went after Pokimane instead, mining her old tweets for embarrassing content. It’s not a big stretch to say there’s no love lost between these two.
