So ... sometimes, glitchen pose with other glitchen as hats. It's a thing. It's hard to explain, but it happens. It may have happened to you!
I propose a new upgrade card that you would spend ALL the iMG on, one that would be one of those requested "big-ticket" upgrades for high-level players with millions of iMG to burn. It would give you the option, when you follow someone, to be worn as a hat by them, so that they could move around and you would be dragged with them.
