She was unintentionally labeled by the South Korean firm in an image of an unknown person shot at the SAP Center for the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event. Strangely, upon being notified of their error, Samsung took an unexpected turn by blocking her on X (formerly Twitter).
However, the Samsung social media staff formally apologized to Valkyrae on X after openly admitting their error. They apologized for the confusion and the ensuing block, saying,
“Hello. We sincerely apologize for the mistakes we made during the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event. We would never block you on purpose. We will exercise greater caution to make sure these mistakes don’t happen again.”
The affair, for all its lack of professionalism, took on an unexpectedly humorous tone. Following their apologies, Samsung was the target of humorous teasing on social media as people made fun of the company’s apparent ignorance.
Some people proposed that Valkyrae be featured in advertising, while others conjectured that whoever made the error probably panicked and opted to block her right away. Due to all this, she has become the talk of the town, with many people trying to know more about her. So, let’s find out more about her:

After completing her schooling, Valkyrae eventually earned an associate degree in arts and sciences from a community college.

Her career
Valkyrae started out as a GameStop employee before becoming well-known on Twitch and YouTube. Her big break came with Fortnite in 2018, and by 2020, she had surpassed Pokimane in viewership to become the fastest-growing female streamer.
She became a part of the $190 million ownership group of 100 Thieves in 2021 and started making cameos in music videos. But in 2021, her skincare company, RFLCT, was embroiled in controversy after receiving negative press for making unsupported claims by science. As a result, the company was shut down later that year.
Despite obstacles, Valkyrae persevered in her career, co-hosting the Streamer Awards in 2023 and signing on as a Gymshark ambassador in 2022. She has a net worth of $4 million.
