"This is a fictional character that I made up!" - Valkyrae talks about her GTA 5 RP character trending on Twitter

Valkyrae addressed the recent Twitter situation during the first few minutes of her January 3 broadcast. The discussion started with her mentioning that she was not quitting GTA 5 RP:

"Okay, I'm going to say it. I just want to say I saw some of Rae Twitter beefing on Twitter. Holy cow! You guys are... a little... like, childlike mother, I guess. But I'm just going to say, I never said I was quitting GTA 5 RP. I don't know, you guys are on some crazy, crazy, like, crazy copium (Twitch emoticon)."

The co-owner of 100 Thieves recalled making a statement on Miyoung's recent broadcast about not wanting to play GTA 5 RP during the stream. This led to her in-game character becoming a trending topic on Twitter. She remarked:

"I think where, you know, you took what I said on Miyoung's channel, saying like, 'I don't want to play GTA right now,' as like, 'Rest in peace, Ray Mond!' Got Ray Mond trending on the first day of the New Year! This b**ch hasn't woken up for months, and she's trending on Twitter? You guys are crazy!"

Valkyrae reminded her audience that her GTA 5 RP persona, Ray Mond, was only a fictional character:

"I saw that, and I was like, 'Dude, y'all need to chill!' 'It was her birthday.' She's not real! She's not... she's not real! You guys, she doesn't exist! Okay? This is a fictional character that I made up!"

The conversation concluded with the YouTuber adding that she was "worried" about her fans:

"I can't... I'm a little worried about our sanity levels. But yes, happy birthday Ray Mond! We'll see you soon, copium."
