Twitch star Imane "Pokimane" has left the internet divided by her rant about rich people. On April 20, 2025, a 45-second video from her IRL livestream with FaZe Clan member Jason "Jasontheween" surfaced on Reddit and X. In the clip, Pokimane asked someone off-camera if they believe there will be a "revolution" in the United States.

While claiming things were "getting there," the co-founder of OfflineTV (OTV) shared her thoughts on the wealth disparity and expressed her dissatisfaction with the situation.

She remarked:

"Do you think, some day, we'll have a revolution like that in America? Right? It's getting there. Right? Another one. The wealth disparity is getting bad! (Jasontheween says, 'The wage gap, I hate that s**t.') No, wealth disparity. Wage gap is like between men and women. Men and women, we love each other, and we hate the rich. Anyway, too much..."

Jasontheween responded:

"Aren't you the rich?!"

Pokimane replied, clarifying that she was speaking about the "ultra-rich":

"No! Like, the ultra-rich. The ultra-giga-rich. The unnecessarily rich. (Jasontheween says, 'You have to clarify. They're going to clip that and it's going to make you look bad. You've got to say the billionaires because you are rich! You can't be saying that.') Oh... the billionaires. The Bezos."

Over 840 netizens on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit have commented on the Twitch streamer's comments. While one Reddit user believed Imane showed a "lack of self-awareness," another described Jason as the "smart one."

"Talk about a lack of self-awareness," Redditor u/PlayinTheFool wrote.
"Tfw Jason was the smart one in this clip. “You are the rich” lmao," Redditor u/TheEmulat0r stated.
"It's her condescending tone on every sentence that irritates me. It's always that matter of fact or "oh you don't know?" type inflection on her sentences," Redditor u/DrunkRespondent remarked.

"I love it when millionaires talk about wealth disparity (spreading the wealth around) and how they are different from the ultra rich," Redditor u/Locke10815 replied.
"If you can't afford my cookies you are a broke boy, but if you have more money than me I hate you. Pokimane quote probably," Redditor u/TheSurlyBartender shared.
