The smartphone giant's official account on the platform had posted a picture of a woman on social media and tagged the YouTuber.

The recently concluded Galaxy Unpacked event saw the release of Samsung's new series of smartphones, the S24 lineup, and people from around the world tuning in to watch the launch. YouTube and Twitch fans got quite the surprise when MrBeast and Pokimane made an appearance at the show.

However, Valkyrae was not a part of the program and did not attend the event, despite someone at Samsung's social media management tagging her in an X post and claiming that she had been in attendance.

It appears Samsung has removed the post before they were community-noted, and many think someone on their social media team might get into trouble for the mistake.
