Why Pokimane's no makeup picture is in stories again

Imane “Pokimane” has again made the headlines. She was recently seen hanging out with Jidon “JiDion” in a video where both of them sat down and spoke about their recent clash.

They called for peace and JiDion dared her in the video to upload an unfiltered picture of herself with a very catchy yet controversial take.

As expected, this said tweet has gained a lot of traction in the past day and still continues to float around the internet. Pokimane uploaded a makeup free picture of herself, which was captioned “this face makes more money than you’ll ever see in your life.”

Since then, the tweet has gone viral and has attracted a lot of reactions.

Inception of Pokimane’s unfiltered pictures

The following image can be traced back to October 2018 when she uploaded a few without any makeup. Back then, she was caught up in a drama that revolved around female streamers and makeup.

Choosing to hop in, Pokimane uploaded a couple of pictures of herself.

Following that, the Moroccan-Canadian streamer went live back in 2018 and started to stream without any makeup on. This was a stream from where the current tweet is based off of.

During this particular stream, Pokimane admitted to her fans that she had never been seen without her hair done or any makeup, so she started to livestream with that precedent just to show the other side to viewers.
