Pokimane mortified after Uber driver flirts with her in bizarre confrontation

As a long-time fan of Pokimane, I can’t help but admire her grace under pressure and the unique experiences she encounters as a public figure. Her latest story about an overzealous Uber driver is just another testament to her resilience and poise in awkward situations.


Streamer Pokimane expressed shock following an unexpectedly forward behavior from her Uber driver during a ride, a story shared on their October podcast episode alongside co-host LilyPichu.

As a dedicated admirer, I can’t help but marvel at the fact that Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys is the most-followed woman on Twitch. Her reputation as an online luminary has not only brought her immense popularity, but also a treasure trove of anecdotes about fans who have attempted to win her heart throughout the years.

During a recent episode of ‘Sweet ‘n Sour’ podcast on October 19, one participant – who happened to be an Uber driver – advised fellow rideshare drivers against flirting with their passengers, as she shared her personal experience.

Pokimane shared that she often splurges on high-tier ridesharing services to minimize unusual encounters with drivers who may remember her, potentially discovering her residence.

Nevertheless, one specific driver continued to flirt with her despite this, as he remarked, “If I had known I was driving such a beautiful person, I would have summoned the photographers.” This is what Poki allegedly stated during their journey together.

Throughout the remaining 40-minute ride, his attempts to charm her grew increasingly intense. He even went so far as to express a desire for a Canadian spouse (referring to Pokimane, who is Moroccan-Canadian) and suggested celebrating Thanksgiving with her family, implying they should plan a trip together to Nigeria.

If the person controlling the car you’re riding in is essentially responsible for your safety, it wouldn’t feel right to challenge them, as you can’t predict how others may respond.

Ultimately, Pokimane graciously declined him, explaining that she swaps phone numbers with mutual acquaintances only, and even went so far as to accept his business card politely.

In the end, the incident turned out to be an amusing tale for her audience, but Pokimane emphasized that drivers should never engage in flirting with passengers, regardless of the situation.

On another occasion, Poki experienced discomfort with an Uber driver, which wasn’t an isolated incident. In addition, the streamer narrated a tale where one of her drivers intervened to keep an elderly gentleman from getting into the vehicle and trailing her back to her residence.
