Streamers Imane "Pokimane" Anys and "JiDion" have shook the internet after appearing to team-up together on Twitter, despite JiDion being banned for Twitch from sending a "hate-raid" to Pokimane's stream.
For those unfamiliar with the beef, in all began in January 2022, when JiDion ordered his followers to "hate raid" Pokimane's livestream. While initially being forbidden from the platform for two weeks, Twitch then upgraded the ban to permanent after JiDion continued to "harass" Pokimane on social media, leading her to privatise her Twitter page. JiDion did publicly apologise to Pokimane, but it wasn't enough for Twitch to consider revoking his ban.
However, it appears the pair have let bygones be bygones and collaborated together, much to the surprise of the streaming community.
When Did JiDion And Pokimane Collab Together?
On February 3, YouTuber JiDion shocked his fans when he posted a picture on Twitter featuring himself eating a burger alongside Twitch streamer Pokimane. JiDion called on his fans to ask the duo questions, but most were mainly just completely shocked about the union. For example, one surprised fan said: "Lmao WTF bruh, you so unpredictable." Although, others questioned whether JiDion had used a sneaky bit of photoshop to create the image.
As the tweet worked its way over to the Livestream Fail subreddit, fans continued to express their shock. User 'Gazareth' pretty much nailed it on the head with their comment: "'Ask me and Poki questions', I wouldn't even know where to begin." Whereas, others pointed out just exactly how Tyler "Ninja" Blevins would respond to the union, given how Pokimane was threatened with a legal battle for "spewing lies" about him after he supposedly tried to have JiDion's Twitch ban revoked. Although, things have gone fairly quiet about all that, especially on Ninja's end.
Did JiDion Fake The Drama With Pokimane For Publicity?
Following on from his appearance with Pokimane, JiDion shared an Instagram story in which he answered some questions from his puzzled fans. After fans asked whether the whole beef had just been for publicity, JiDion stated: "All your questions are going to be answered in three to five weeks." The YouTuber explained that the reason why, is that he is currently in the process of making a video about the situation. However, he stressed that he is a "chill dude" and that "if you have a disagreement with a person, it can always be mended."

Pokimane didn't make any further comment on Twitter about the pairing other than to echo JiDion's own comments after his initial Twitch ban: "It's bigger than black n white."
As of writing, there's still no word as to when the Q&A between Pokimane and JiDion will take place. However, it will no doubt be a fairly bizarre experience, given how it looked the two could ever reconcile from the drama. But, for now at least, it appears the Pokimane and JiDion beef is officially over.
