YouTube Gaming streamer Rachell "Valkyrae" has responded to netizens' remarks about her recent actions on Hasan "HasanAbi's" livestream. For context, Valkyrae appeared as a guest on HasanAbi's December 22, 2024 broadcast, along with The Streamer Awards host Blaire "QTCinderella."
At one point, the 100 Thieves co-owner expressed her "hatred" for HasanAbi's orange-colored microphone cap and decided to remove it and replace it with a black cover. While urging the live audience to "not say anything," the YouTuber stated:
"I hate this orange microphone cap. It's such an eyesore. It's so ugly and so bright! Just don't say anything."

During a livestream on December 23, 2024, the 32-year-old responded to those who "didn't like" her actions on HasanAbi's broadcast:
"During that stream, he had this mic cover that was just so bright. Personally, when I watch his streams, I don't like it. So, I took the initiative to get rid of it. Some people didn't like that I got rid of it. But, I like that I got rid of it. Wait, did he replace it? Hold on, let me look. Did he put it back? Oh, my god, he kept it black! Nice. I win! I literally win!"
Valkyrae's attention was then drawn to a viewer who described her as "controlling." She responded:
"'Rae being controlling, LOL, no way.' B**ch, shut the f**k up!"
Commenting on whether she has "control issues," the content creator stated:
"I do have control issues. But, if he wanted to, he could put it back on. So, like... it's a mic cover, is it really that big of a deal? Is it? I don't know. Is it? 'It was ugly.' I just think it was too distracting. It was too distracting."

After responding to a fan saying she is "controlling," Valkyrae stated that she "hopes" her friends tell her to "fix" certain aspects of her streaming setup. She elaborated:
"I would hope that one of my friends would look at my setup and be like, 'Listen, Rae, you should fix this.' Like Miyoung did with my lights. And I'll say, 'You know what? I'll consider that, probably accept it, and change it. Thank you so much.'"
