Sneako Criticizes Pokimane for Allegedly “Baiting” Audience with Inappropriate Behavior
3 min read
Controversial internet personality Nico “Sneako” recently accused Twitch star Imane “Pokimane” of “baiting” her audience into inappropriate behavior. During a Rumble livestream, Sneako reacted to an older video of the Moroccan-Canadian content creator, in which she bent down to grab her pet. Sneako claimed that Pokimane was deliberately using her body to garner attention.
“Bro, Pokimane, there’s one thing that women know and it’s how their body presents to the world at all times. She knows exactly what she is doing,” Sneako asserted. “This is so obvious, that she almost has her thong peaking out of the back of her sweatpants.”
Sneako, who has been permanently banned from YouTube, continued to criticize Pokimane’s actions, suggesting that her behavior was a calculated effort to keep her audience engaged. “And the simps are going to cope doing, ‘Oh, she’s just petting her dog!’ When have I ever done this? Bro, there’s one thing – women are always aware of their appearance. They always know how they are being perceived by the world.”
He further accused the OfflineTV co-founder of intentionally manipulating her viewers. “This is completely intentional and this is what I’m talking about – she is baiting people to edge to her stream for hours and hours, and it works!”

The Ongoing Drama between Pokimane and Sneako
The recent clash between Pokimane and Sneako is the latest episode in a series of online dramas involving prominent streamers. Last month, Herschel “Guy,” also known as “Dr DisRespect,” caused a stir when he admitted to texting a minor using Twitch Whispers. Pokimane commented on the scandal with a single word: “Yuck.”
On June 26, 2024, Sneako responded to Pokimane and fellow streamer Rachell “Valkyrae’s” reactions to the Dr DisRespect controversy by tweeting his thoughts on “Western culture.” He wrote, “Western culture is hilarious. If someone texts a girl 17 years and 11 months old he gets jumped by the whole industry. But if that same girl waits one more month to sell her body on Only Fans she is celebrated by that same industry for being an independent queen. Clown world.”

She’s aware. Don’t talk s
