Samsung recently hosted itsGalaxy Unpacked event,which promises to unveil some of its highly-anticipated tech releases. They documented the event on X/formerly Twitter by tweeting photos of what was happening throughout the day.
However, someone running the Samsung Twitter/X account put the wrong name to the wrong face, leading toa hilarious slip-upon social media that’s throwing streamer Rachel‘Valkyrae’Hofstetter and her fans for a major loop.
The girl in the photo taken at the event wasn’t Valkyrae — something she couldn’t help but point out in apost of her own.
“Hey Samsung, that is not me, lol,” she replied in her own tweet.
Following up later in the day,Valkyrae revealedSamsung had since blocked her on the platform altogether. She tweeted screenshots of Samsung’s tweet along with a screenshot showing their X/Twitter account had blocked her. She wrote: “i thought it was funny relaxxxx.”
The incident has led to a bevy of hilarious responses from fans, most of whom are finding ways to make jokes and puns about the situation, and also argued that Samsung’s apology was “too serious.”
