If you haven\u2019t been following the KSI and Ricegum beef, kudos for having more productive distractions. If you have been following it, kudos for appreciating the art that is silly, juicy internet drama. And, whether you\u2019re in either camp, we\u2019re continuing to set the table for all the spice these two former collaborators are serving up. In the latest course, KSI explains that he\u2019s sick of Ricegum \u201cdissing\u201d him and \u201cchatting s**t\u201d about how their earnings from the \u201cEarthquake\u201d video were split. For some brief context, the pair were buddies back when they dropped the aforementioned video in 2017, but have since fallen out. The details of their debilitated relationship weren\u2019t revealed until this week when Rice appeared on KEEMSTAR\u2019s DramaAlert to explain the beef. As he dictates, he wanted, but was denied, a free ticket from the British star to attend the boxing match against Logan Paul. So he accepted a free ticket from Paul, and a \u201cpetty\u201d KSI then unfollowed Rice on social media and deleted their video (before re-uploading it because it had gotten so many views). But KSI now refutes those claims and rebukes that he simply got sick of him trying to attack the UK YouTuber\u2019s music: \u201cRice, I unfollowed you because you\u2019ve been dissing me.\u201d To start things off, KSI reacted to the unfollowing claims by showing that he hadn\u2019t actually unfollowed Rice on everything \u2014 something he quickly fixed by unfollowing Rice\u2019s Twitter. Then, in response to the claim that he re-uploaded the video just for the views, he simply decided to show how little he cares by sharing his screen and deleting the video permanently. While Rice believed the Paul invitation to be the source of KSI\u2019s ire, the latter explains that it was actually caused by two disses: a line from his \u201cDaAdult\u201d track and a quote from his podcast appearance, in which he asserts \u201cI feel like my songs are better than [KSI\u2019s].\u201d But one, particularly juicy issue requires the talents of fact-checkers. Ricegum cited that, when asked about splitting the earnings, he told KSI \u201cJust keep it, man. I don\u2019t even want anything \u2026 just give me a feature back.\u201d The Brit says this is nonsense, and that he\u2019s \u201cpretty sure\u201d the split was \u201c50-50,\u201d that the YouTuber \u201cgot paid for the track\u201d and is \u201cstill getting paid for the track.\u201d While both come out of this seeming fairly petty, that does make for quality drama. Ricegum has yet to respond to this earnings dispute, but it may be time to break out the paperwork and settle the facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI hits back at Ricegum and accuses him of lying about earnings Ricegum \/ KSIAfter being called petty and having his music dissed by Ricegum, KSI has finally responded and disputed specific claims made by his former collaborator.
