Valkyrae calls YourRAGE ‘suspicious’ over unread Discord message as Kai Cenat’s appears read in leaked screenshot

YouTube and Twitch star Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter called out fellow streamer Josh “YourRAGE” after noticing that he had left her Discord message unread. Valkyrae brought up the situation during her August 30, 2026, livestream after viewers asked whether YourRAGE had replied to her. She said she had seen a screenshot of his Discord messages, where a message from Kai Cenat appeared as read while hers, placed directly below it, remained unread. Valkyrae jokingly questioned whether her message was being ignored because she was not the biggest streamer in the world.Valkyrae questions why YourRAGE ignored her messageThe conversation started after a viewer asked Valkyrae whether YourRAGE had responded to her Discord message.Valkyrae immediately remembered seeing his Discord appear on stream a day earlier. On August 29, YourRAGE accidentally showed part of his Discord while livestreaming, including messages from people such as Kai Cenat and Valkyrae. The screenshot also included messages connected to Greg, his former best friend of 25 years.Valkyrae said:“‘Did Rage ever respond to you?’ Yeah! Wait! Speaking of Rage, oh, my god! I saw a screenshot of Rage leaking his Discord, and Kai Cenat, his Discord message was read. Me, right below Kai, unread. What the frick?! What is that about?”She then jokingly suggested that YourRAGE may have ignored her because she was not the biggest streamer on the platform.“Oh, just because I'm not the top streamer in the world, you're going to dono-wall my message, Rage?! Interesting. Interesting. Peculiar. Curious. Suspicious.”Valkyrae continued the joke by saying she was keeping track of people she considered her “opps.”“Yeah, no, I am noticing. I'm keeping mental track of all of my opps.”Her comments appeared to be made in a playful tone, and she did not provide any further explanation for why YourRAGE’s message remained unread.Valkyrae plans special stream for January 2027Valkyrae also shared another announcement during the August 30 broadcast.
