Samsung is currently in the midst of itsGalaxy Unpacked event,which promises to unveil some of its highly-anticipated tech releases.
However, the girl in the photo taken at the event was definitely not Valkyrae — something she couldn’t help but point out in apost of her own.
“Hey Samsung, that is not me, lol,” she replied.
The interaction has led to a bevy of hilarious responses from fans, most of whom are finding ways to make jokes and puns about the situation.
“I think you got scammed buddy,” the official ‘Satan’ Xaccount said.

“That ain’t Valkyrae, that’s Valkyrie,”another joked.

“Hmm Rae looking a little different, maybe she did her hair differently or maybe that’s just me, lmfao,”another said.
Shortly after, another unfortunate post went out, this time involving Pokimane. While the picture was indeed of Pokimane, the tag on X was incorrect.

Both the Valkyrae and Pokimane tweets have since been deleted, but that’s not all. Following up later in the day,Valkyrae revealedSamsung had since blocked her on the platform altogether.
