PewDiePie \u201creally disappointed\u201d with YouTube\u2019s decision to remove Coco diss track YouTube: PewDiePieTop YouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has finally responded to the removal of his Cocomelon diss track by YouTube, saying he is \u201creally disappointed\u201d by the decision. PewDiePie\u2019s highly anticipated diss track, aimed at kids YouTube channel Cocomelon, was released on February 14, and instantly went viral after it included a surprise challenge to rapper 6ix9ine. The four-minute video also featured Kjellberg dressed up as Mr Rogers, Santa being declared as fake, and pets being \u201cburied.\u201d But, on February 18, the platform disabled the video, citing child safety concerns. YouTube said \u201cThis video violated two policies: 1) Child safety: by looking like it was made for kids but containing inappropriate content. 2) Harassment: by inciting harassment @ other creators\u2013 we allow criticism but this crossed the line.\u201d PewDiePie responds to YouTube takedown The removal caught everyone by surprise, not least PewDiePie himself. Clearly, a lot of work had gone into making the video, and it hadn\u2019t been intended for children. During a livestream on February 21, fans bombarded the YouTuber with questions about the situation. He says he\u2019s planning a more formal response, but spoke about the incident briefly. \u201cObviously, the music video got removed by YouTube. If there\u2019s a place for me to address it, it\u2019s not during a livestream, but I also really want to play today. I\u2019m just going to say I\u2019m really disappointed, and I obviously disagree, but I\u2019m not going to address it further than that today.\u201d Topic starts at 8 minutes. \u201cPart of me didn\u2019t want to go live because I knew everyone was just going to ask about it. And I get it. But yeah, not here, sorry.\u201d And he wasn\u2019t wrong, as the chat was filled with fans wanting to know the latest on the situation. It sounds like he plans to make a fuller response to the issue, perhaps in a new video on his channel. YouTube has said that any reuploads of the video will be removed, even if they\u2019re only partial clips. This almost certainly means that the video will never see the light of day again, outside of random reuploads that the platform will presumably strike down as they find them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
