"That is not me lol": Valkyrae calls out Samsung's X post that claimed she attended the Galaxy Unpacked event

Popular streamer Rachell "Valkyrae" has called out Samsung for their post on X, which claimed that she had attended the 2024 Galaxy Unpacked event held in San Jose on January 17, 2024.

Valkyrae has clarified that the person in the picture is not her, and in a lighthearted post reply, wrote:

However, Valkyrae was not a part of the program and did not attend the event, despite someone at Samsung's social media management tagging her in an X post and claiming that she had been in attendance.

The post has been deleted, but that has not stopped fans of the YouTuber from ripping into the Korean company for the mistake.

X user @JarretNoDegree took a jab at Samsung's new AI while commenting and insinuated that the image was an ad.

Fellow Twitch streamers and content creators also could not believe what had happened. Even TFT professional player Scarra expressed his surprise at the mix-up.

100 Thieves content creator JhbTeam shared a similar post featuring Pokimane from the past, where a fan had posted a picture thinking he had met her.

Popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, aka MKBHD, also reacted to the incident.
