PewDiePie visited by police after buying \u2018forbidden\u2019 Wish item YouTube: PewDiePie \/ Wish.comYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg claims he had a run-in with the law after buying a weapon from popular online retailer \u2018Wish.\u2019 PewDiePie is YouTube\u2019s most-subscribed independent content creator, boasting over a decade of videos on the platform to show for his well-earned 111 million subs. For his latest video, he decided to purchase a few items from the popular online retailer \u2018Wish\u2019 \u2014 a website often reamed by netizens for hawking alleged knock-off items. For context, Kjellberg can often be seen flipping around what looks like a butterfly knife during his videos and live streams as a sort of fidget toy. PewDiePie\u2019s Wish purchase prompts visit from law enforcement One of his Wish purchases was a \u2018balisong,\u2019 another name for a butterfly knife. What seemed like a harmless purchase, however, turned out to be an illegal online transaction for the Swedish YouTube star. In a March 2 video, Kjellberg claimed that he was visited by law enforcement officers after purchasing the balisong from Wish \u2014 an item that isn\u2019t prohibited from sale on the site. \u201cI had the great idea [of] trying to buy a balisong,\u201d the YouTuber explained. \u201cBecause I like them. They\u2019re fun to play with. It\u2019s awesome. Well, don\u2019t do that. Do not buy a balisong.\u201d \u201cThe cops came to my house and they told me I was bad and I shouldn\u2019t have done that,\u201d he continued, before joking, \u201cSo, I am sorry. Ya boy\u2019s got a criminal record! Let\u2019s go!\u201d Kjellberg claimed that the ordeal made him \u201cstressed out\u201d and prompted him to purchase several fidget toys of a different (and decidedly less deadly) nature \u2014 some of which he surprisingly enjoyed. Overall, it looks like PewDiePie had a fairly decent time with his Wish haul\u2026 even if he couldn\u2019t get the balisong he\u2019d wanted in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
