Jidon “JiDion” Adams Learns from His Mistakes and Vows to Do Better
Jidon “JiDion” Adams recently reflected on a lesson he learned after encouraging fans to launch a hate raid against Imane “Pokimane” Anys on Twitch earlier this year, which resulted in him being banned from the platform. He expressed a commitment to not repeat such actions against fellow content creators in the future.
During Episode 331 of the IMPAULSIVE Podcast on June 22, JiDion shared, “After the Pokimane situation, I realized I need to think before I speak.” He acknowledged that sometimes he says things without considering the consequences, as thoughts pop into his head.
This was exactly what happened when he initiated the hate raid against Pokimane. On his stream, he instructed viewers to follow Pokimane and spam her chat with messages while she was playing a VALORANT match.
When Pokimane’s fans discovered what was happening and informed her, JiDion taunted them by insinuating that they were simps, a term that Pokimane strongly dislikes.
However, JiDion has since learned from his mistakes and the significant backlash he faced. Initially, he portrayed the incident as a joke, as his content often involves pranks and putting people in uncomfortable situations.
But Pokimane disagreed with his perspective and called him out for his behavior.
As time went on, JiDion took full responsibility for his actions and made a public commitment to do better. He has followed through on his promise, as Pokimane has accepted his apology and even collaborated with him on YouTube.
JiDion also admitted that speaking without thinking has caused him trouble with friends and organizations, particularly due to his habit of leaking embargoed information prematurely. Therefore, the lesson he learned has had a positive impact on multiple aspects of his life.
