Valkyrae slams “sick” fans sending her creepy Instagram DMs
Valkyrae opened up about these sorts of messages in a recent broadcast, explaining to viewers why she’s ready to hit anyone who sends her “sick” messages with a swift block. “We need to have another talk,” she began. “Some of you are sick. I decided to open up my DMs. The very first one I saw… it was from a person who was having full blown conversations with themselves about how much they’re in love with me.”
“How much they know they’re the best for me, how much they know me better than I do,” she continued. “Sending me pictures, but it’s all blurred out, I didn’t open any of them. Just really weird. Weird!”
“I’m just letting you guys know that if I block you, or if anyone else blocks you for whatever reason on Instagram, you won’t be able to follow them on a new account, okay? So stop being icky!”
