Mamabenjyfishy joins Galaxy Racer Esports
Mamabenjyfishy recently announced on Twitter that she has signed for Galaxy Racer Esports as a Fortnite content creator. Although she won't be participating in professional tournaments like her son Benjyfishy, Mamabenjyfishy will be making regular content for Galaxy Racer Esports.
Benjyfishy has a unique reaction to the entire scenario. He said,
"Yeah I mean it's pretty weird because obviously back in the day I always wanted to be a gamer, and the fact that my mum is now like technically a pro gamer or streamer is pretty sick."
