Leafy returns to YouTube after years to fire back at iDubbbz content cop YouTube: iDubbbzOnce the fastest-growing YouTube channel on the platform, controversial creator \u2018LeafyIsHere\u2019 has returned after a long hiatus, and just in time to fire back at his old foe, iDubbbz. Anyone who was around YouTube in 2017 will likely remember the rise of Leafy, an understated commentary channel that somehow gained millions of subscribers rapidly, at an almost unprecedented rate. However, after numerous controversies, mainly around drama with other YouTubers, and a \u2018Content Cop\u2019 episode from iDubbbz himself all about Leafy, the reclusive star pretty much left the platform for good. However, after iDubbbz found himself at the center of a social media storm, with fans calling him a \u201csimp\u201d due to his relationship with his girlfriend, Leafy has made a conspicuous return to YouTube. His first video back was barely over 30 seconds long, showing iDubbbz\u2019 response video before Leafy cuts in by saying \u201cdude you\u2019re a f**king cu*k,\u201d and leaving the message \u201cYouTube is still sh*t\u201d on the screen. This video racked up over 3 million views in a matter of days. Then, on April 4, he posted a second video, with a longer compilation of iDubbbz and his girlfriend, before ending with a short message that reads \u201c2 weeks until it was \u2018social experiment\u2019 and\/or she breaks up with him.\u201d iDubbbz is yet to respond to Leafy, though it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see him fire back again in another video, possibly taking credit for pushing his rival off YouTube the first time. Even PewDiePie weighed in on the drama surrounding iDubbbz and his girlfriend, as social media was in a frenzy over the whole situation. Meanwhile, despite his brief return to YouTube to roast his old nemesis, it\u2019s still not likely that Leafy is making a full-on comeback to content creation, not least because of his message at the end of his first return video. Despite such a long time away from the platform though, his video was still featured on YouTube\u2019s trending page, reaching over a million views in under 24 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
