When asked if Pokimane would sign for Kick if offered $10 million, she quickly responded with a “Nope.” Pokimane explained that the answer was not the obvious one, it was not because she has $10 million. The real reason she would not sign with Kick she said has to do with morals and ethics.
She elaborated, saying, “Why would I compromise my morals and ethics for more money when I have money? Something about that is so cringe to me personally. Like I understand if you need to make money, right? For me to do cringe sh*t when I have money, like ew! It’s almost embarrassing.”

Following Pokimane’s comments, some fans speculated her reasons for morals and ethics stem from the association Kick has with gambling as well as with cryptocurrency.
