Deji faces backlash over old YouTube video intro Popular YouTube personality Oladeji Daniel \u2018Deji\u2019 Olatunji has sparked criticism after an old video intro of his resurfaced online, which contained some highly controversial content. Before he took the YouTube vlogging world by storm, the 23-year-old used to post gaming videos under the moniker \u2018ComedyShortsGamer.\u2019 He later changed it to Deji in August of 2018 after his content shifted focus. However, on December 27, a video intro from his gaming days resurfaced on Twitter which showed an animation of the British star performing a questionable act, and people aren\u2019t happy about it. Deji\u2019s old YouTube video intro In an August 2013 upload titled \u201cFifa 13 | Team Korea | NEW INTRO,\u201d the London-born personality debuted the introduction, which showed him rendering a woman unconscious with a chloroform-soaked cloth. \u201cHey, baby, my name\u2019s ComedyShortsGamer,\u201d the animated version of Deji said upon walking up to the girl, who rolled her eyes at his advances and ignored him. He then proceeded to knock her out with chloroform and drag her by her legs. The YouTuber later updated his future videos with a new clip, but kept the uploads with the animation in on his channel \u2013 something which has now resurfaced over six years later to angry Twitter users. (Timestamp of 00:08 for mobile viewers.) https:\/\/youtu.be\/XtEG0qHUnoQ?t=8 After user \u2018MLJoee\u2019 posted the video online, many people responded in shock \u2013 including Drama Alert host Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem. \u201cThis is not real? No way!\u201d the 37-year-old quote-tweeted in disbelief at what he had seen. Another tweet from \u2018MrMoonAndPals\u2019 went viral, accumulating over 2,300 retweets and 16,100 likes since December 26 at this time of writing. \u201cDaily reminder this was once [ComedyShortsGamers] intro,\u201d it read, alongside the clip of the questionable animation. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrMoonAndPals\/status\/1210368136245129216 Popular YouTuber James Marriott weighed in on the situation, and joked, \u201cCan you all just shut up about 2020 being your year. It is clearly ComedyShortsGamer\u2019s so everyone else can step the f**k aside.\u201d Can you all just shut up about 2020 being your year. It is clearly ComedyShortsGamer\u2019s so everyone else can step the fuck aside. \u2014 James Marriott (@JamesMarriottYT) December 27, 2019 Not everyone saw issue with it, though, and many have simply chalked it up to being \u201cedgy 2013 comedy\u201d and not a cause for concern. As of this time of writing, Deji has yet to address this latest controversy, but Dexerto has reached out to him for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
