Maya went as far as congratulating her partner, Mizkif, in the comments section. However, one fan had a rather funny response to this comment.

Naturally, since so many of her fans fell for the joke, Maya kept up with the story throughout, replying in the affirmative to anyone who asked her if the announcement was true.

Many in the fan base, however, understood that it was a joke but sportingly kept up with it. This user posted a screenshot of a recent video from YouTube.

However, some fans were kind enough to point out that it was an obvious joke, even if they did so in a rather funny manner.

Apart from being a Twitch streamer, 23-year-old Maya Higa is a conservationist, wildlife rehabilitator and falconer. She founded the Alveus Sanctuary, which is a non-profit exotic wildlife sanctuary. She is currently dating popular streamer Mizkif, and often jokes around like this on her social media accounts.
