Imane Anys, a Moroccan streamer known online as “Pokimane,” who grew up in Canada, questioned the country’s support for such professions in a recent Twitch broadcast when she said that she would not have succeeded if she had grown up in Morocco.
Pokimane addressed the claim made by certain streamers that you can succeed from nothing if you work hard enough during a Twitch broadcast on July 18. She explained that it all depends on where a person comes from.
“It really f***king depends where you are and even the resources available in your country,” she said, as reported on Dexerto. “If I had grown up in Morocco, I would never be the streamer that I am.”
The great Twitch figure she is today, in Pokimane’s opinion, would not have happened even if she still had the same personality and enthusiasm in video games.
“That’s why I feel like it’s unfair when people say sh*t like that, like let’s be real,” she said on the same stream.
When Pokimane first created her Twitch account in 2013, she officially began streaming. Her feeds allowed viewers a glimpse into her private life as a college student who enjoys makeup, cats, and video games.
At the same period, the game League of Legends was 3 years old and was making headlines all around the world, and Pokimane was one of it’s most famous players.
Imane Anys is now one of the world’s most famous streamers, having witnessed enormous fame over the past years with almost 10 million followers on Twitch and 6 million on Instagram.
She is the most followed female internet personality on Twitch. Through her passion for gaming, her career took off, and she amassed millions of admirers across a variety of platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, and most recently, Threads.
Besides Pokimane, Soufiane Gharbaoui, commonly known as Vodkafunky is a Moroccan streamer who makes a decent living out of Twitch.
Earlier this year, he won male steamer of the year at the LGaming competition.
Apart from the two, there aren’t any prominent Moroccan streamers with a large following.
