YouTuber Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji hit back at PewDiePie\u2019s comments on his forehead during a \u2018Try not to Laugh\u2019 challenge video on April 11, where the Swede compared KSI\u2019s forehead to that of an apparent, exaggerated camera filter. \u201cKSI, looks like you have a rival, here!\u201d PewDiePie said of the clip \u2013 prompting a savage response from the YouTuber in question. [Timestamp: 1:51 for mobile viewers] While KSI jokingly played sad music over his video in apparent distress, he went on to pull up the subscriber gap between PewDiePie and T-Series\u2019 YouTube channels, set with an overlay of his own music. That\u2019s not all; KSI even went on to subscribe to T-Series in retaliation, adding yet another number to T-Series\u2019 steadily growing subscriber count. [Timestamp: 3:35 for mobile viewers] KSI vs PewDiePie: a history This wouldn\u2019t be the first time KSI and PewDiePie have had beef, either; the YouTubers got into a heated internet feud in 2016, after KSI criticized Kjellberg for calling out channels like Drama Alert for allegedly harming the YouTube community. PewDiePie later called both KSI and Logan Paul \u201cscumbags\u201d ahead of their 2018 boxing match, accusing them of holding their fight merely for monetary gain. \u201cHe has no ground to talk at all,\u201d KSI responded in an interview. \u201cHe is the person who ruined a lot of peoples\u2019 lives on YouTube, with his comments and his whole anti-Semitic\u2026 I can\u2019t even say the word.\u201d Despite their feud, PewDiePie went on to call for a truce, admitting that being \u201cmoney-driven\u201d wasn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. [Timestamp: 2:35 for mobile viewers] T-Series vs PewDiePie \u2013 is this the end? KSI\u2019s latest action shows that their beef isn\u2019t completely in the past, though \u2013 but PewDiePie\u2019s battle with T-Series might very well be, as the label sits at over 290,000 subscribers above the Swede as of April 18. Although Kjellberg put up a nearly six-month-long fight against T-Series, things seemed to be over in late March, after the label surpassed him for over five days. However, PewDiePie\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 diss track skyrocketed his subscriber count \u2013 but it wasn\u2019t to last, as T-Series overtook the YouTuber once again, and has yet to be challenged a second time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI roasts PewDiePie for losing YouTube race against T-Series KSI, PewDiePie &#8211; YouTubeYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg\u2019s race against Bollywood label T-Series seems to have finally come to an end \u2013 but that isn\u2019t stopping one YouTuber from rubbing figurative salt in the wound.
