Pokimane is one of the most popular female Twitch streamers and has thousands of followers. So it comes as no surprise that she is recognized outside and occasionally has unusual encounters with them. She described how one of her fans nearly ran into her in one of her most recent streams.
The bike-swerving incident was close call, according to Pokimane. When a man on a parallel street began turning at a nearby intersection while she was standing outside of a building, it startled her. Sadly, he lost control of his bike while turning, and it sped straight toward Pokimane, who was standing on the opposite side of the street. She almost assumed that this was it.
However, the worried individual flipped forward at the curved bump and fell to the sidewalk close to Pokimane. She was speechless throughout the entire incident, but she continued by asking him how he was doing while engaging in this hilarious inner monologue.
The individual reassured her that he was alright, even making the joke that his ego was hurt more than him. Pokimane began texting Janet at this time to tell her about this unexpected yet amusing encounter. The concerned individual approached her and directly inquired as to whether she was Pokimane while she was attempting to take a picture so she could send it to Janet.
Pokimane laughed on the stream as she described this incident because it had been a rather awkward situation for her at the time. Despite being covered in dirt from falling off his bike, her fan greeted her, and she graciously returned the greeting. Pokimane speculates that the person who made the unfortunate turn might not have been aware that she was standing there. The fact that the person face-planted in front of her and then recognized her after getting up, in her opinion, was a crazy coincidence.
