Why did JiDion clash with Pokimane? ‘I was just talking s**t on my stream’
CLEVELAND, OHIO: YouTube prankster "JiDion" Adams made an appearance as a guest on Andrew Schulz's well-liked podcast 'FLAGRANT' recently. A podcast presenter questioned them if fighting with content producers is an "important" aspect of expanding online during their three-hour discussion. JiDion asserted that it was "definitely not" the case and added that he detested sparring with online celebrities.
He then mentioned his fierce conflict with Imane "Pokimane" which began in January 2022. The 22-year-old voiced his disgust with the online community for making the issue "more" than it needed to be, referring to the hate brigade as "talking s**t on stream."
‘I was just talking s**t on my stream’
Adams claimed he linked it to his recent antics at the WNBA tournament. "Yeah, I was just talking s**t on my stream, basically. But then, like... I just saw n****s just acting weird and stuff. Like, they were making it more... I just hate when people make it more than it needs to be. Like, kind of like the WNBA thing. Instead of it being funny, they're making it, like, 'That's why these women don't...' it's just like - bro, you're making it too much," he said.
The streamer added after Andrew Schulz stated that internet users were "using" JiDion, "Yeah... and then, it's just making me look bad in front of everybody else because it's like - that's one of my ideas and it's like, 'Bro, no! I just thought it would be funny.' Like, I had no ill will or, you know like, I get off on... it's just I thought it was funny so I did it."
‘I really have nothing against Jake’
The podcast presenter continued the subject by inquiring as to whether his recent altercation with Jake Paul constituted a "real beef." The permanently suspended Twitch streamer responded by saying, “I mean, it's not beef anymore. I was just like, 'Damn! Why are you talking s**t?' Like, you know? I really have nothing against Jake. You know? Like, anybody that does something great for YouTube like - I think it's amazing! You know?”
The 26-year-old influencer was hailed by JiDion for "changing the landscape" on YouTube. “Like, whether you like him or dislike him, he changed the landscape. You know? Like, he's taken it to new levels where he's over here, headlining huge arenas. Fighting, like you know, the biggest stars and combat. You know? Sports and stuff. And, it's just, like, I'll be a hater to say I don't respect that. You know?,” he said.
