T-Series takes massive lead over PewDiePie following \u2018Congratulations\u2019 legal scandal PewDiePie, YouTube \/ T-SeriesThe battle between YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg and Bollywood label T-Series continues to heat up \u2013 both in the courtroom and online. T-Series has surpassed PewDiePie once again by a wide margin, sitting at over 80,000 subscribers above the YouTuber as of April 14. This turn of events follows Kjellberg\u2019s major comeback earlier in the month, when his \u2018Congratulations\u2019 diss track skyrocketed his subscriber count to over 400,000 above the label after being surpassed for several days prior. T-Series taking legal action However, T-Series wasn\u2019t pleased with this development, and even took legal action against Kjellberg for \u201cdefamatory, disparaging, insulting, and offensive\u201d content in his diss tracks by pursuing an alleged court order with the Delhi High Court. While the legitimacy of the court order itself couldn\u2019t be verified, T-Series\u2019 case does exist \u2013 and that\u2019s not the only action the label is taking against Kjellberg, either. PewDiePie\u2019s diss tracks have since been banned from appearing on Indian YouTube following the court order, inciting mass outrage from fans across the internet due to the apparent growing influence of corporations over creators. PewDiePie\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 kerfuffle T-Series\u2019 order may have been in response to Kjellberg\u2019s serious claims in his \u2018Congratulations\u2019 diss track, where he accused the label of getting its start by providing pirated songs. The YouTuber likewise accused T-Series\u2019 CEO, Bhushan Kumar, of having ties to the Indian mafia \u2013 and even brought up a sexual harassment case against against Kumar from January, which was later dropped after the accuser admitted their claims were false. Kjellberg\u2019s song even alleged that T-Series had sent him a cease and desist letter in response to their battle, which the YouTuber promptly ignored. Fellow YouTuber and collaborator \u2018Boyinaband\u2019 later revealed the story to be true, although he left the details up to PewDiePie for a later video. Since then, PewDiePie\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 diss track has skyrocketed in popularity, surpassing even popular rapper Post Malone\u2019s \u2018Congratulations\u2019 song by .4 million likes \u2013 reaching a massive 5.9 million likes in just two weeks. While Kjellberg\u2019s latest track also sports an impressive 78 million views, it still pales in comparison to his initial \u2018Bitch Lasagna\u2019 single, which still reigns as his most-viewed video at a whopping 169 million views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
