Top 5 Twitch & YouTube stars who started beef with PewDiePie and lived to regret it Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg is one of the most famous creators on YouTube, with a storied career spanning nearly 8 years on the platform. In that time, he\u2019s managed to get entangled in a few highly-publicized beefs with other top YouTubers and Twitch streamers, resulting in some hilarious antics that are now archived across the internet. From his spat with YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI to his callout of popular streamer Pokimane, we\u2019ve gathered the best of PewDiePie\u2019s beefs for posterity \u2013 including his epic, seven-month-long race against Bollywood label T-Series. #5 \u2013 Lilly Singh, \u2018Supawoman\u2019 YouTuber Lilly \u2018Supawoman\u2019 Singh caught major flak from PewDiePie after announcing her hiatus from the platform in November 2018, prompting him to make a scathing statement on YouTube\u2019s widespread \u201ccreator burnout.\u201d Their spat didn\u2019t end there; PewDiePie went on to slam Singh a month later in response to her complaints about Forbes\u2019 list of 2018\u2019s highest-earning YouTubers, where she noted that no women were mentioned in their article. 2 years ago it was almost even between male & female, last year it was just me and this year there are no females at all. Something I predicted in my instagram caption last year. I’m concerned the digital space is going to repeat the mistakes of ancient industries. Hope I’m wrong https:\/\/t.co\/VmoTMjywGK \u2014 Lilly Singh (@IISuperwomanII) December 5, 2018 PewDiePie argued that adsense pays YouTubers the same way regardless of gender, and even insulted Singh for her thoughts on the matter. \u201cIf you start complaining about this you sound like a crybaby and an idiot, which you are, Lilly Singh, in case you weren\u2019t sure,\u201d PewDiePie said. [Timestamp: 11:46 for mobile viewers] While Singh went on to reach out to Kjellberg for a conversation on the issue, it doesn\u2019t look like any common ground was ever reached, as he went on to roast her role in the movie adaptation of \u2018Fahrenheit 451\u2019 \u2013 and even compared her to the viral \u2018Big Chungus\u2019 meme shortly thereafter. [Timestamp: 4:40 for mobile viewers] #4 \u2013 Pokimane While Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is known for her massively popular Twitch stream, she likewise made headlines after being called out for copy striking videos from smaller YouTube channels in January 2018, following her Twitter spat with Drama Alert\u2019s KEEMSTAR. PewDiePie himself even spoke out on the subject, appearing to take issue with Pokimane\u2019s attempts to cover up the drama. \u201cI can understand why you want to take down this video, because this selected thing blows up and becomes even bigger\u2026 but the problem here\u2026 is that you\u2019re just drawing more attention to it,\u201d PewDiePie said of the debacle. Pokimane later published a statement on the matter, agreeing with PewDiePie\u2019s point -although she buckled down on copy striking videos for using her content in a \u201cnon transformative manner.\u201d #3 \u2013 KSI Before KSI\u2019s beef with YouTuber Logan Paul picked up speed, he got into it with PewDiePie in 2016, after calling Kjellberg a \u201chypocrite\u201d for criticizing channels like Drama Alert for causing rifts within the YouTube community. After a series of heated Tweets between the two (which have since been deleted), PewDiePie later called out both KSI and Logan Paul ahead of their 2018 boxing match, accusing KSI of being a \u201csexist scumbag\u201d who merely created content on YouTube for the money. \u201cHe has no ground to talk at all,\u201d KSI said in response to PewDiePie\u2019s claims. \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 PewDiePie went on to ask KSI for a truce, stating that it was \u201cdumb\u201d to call him a scumbag and even wanted to have a beer with the YouTuber. \u201cI called them scumbags for being purely money driven\u2026 thinking about it, that\u2019s fine, what\u2019s wrong with that?\u201d he said of their beef. #2 \u2013 Alinity PewDiePie\u2019s spat with Alinity Divine is likely one of his most well-known debacles, after the Twitch streamer took issue with his eye-tracking video in early 2018 \u2013 in which he used the term \u201cTwitch thot\u201d in relation to her content. \u201cCan we copy strike this guy?\u201d Alinity said famously after watching his video on stream, later issuing a takedown of the clip for using her content. PewDiePie responded to Alinity\u2019s claim by clarifying that he meant no disrespect toward the women featured in his eye-tracking video, and targeted Alinity\u2019s MCN for \u201cabusing their power\u201d in regards to unfair copyright claims. \u201cAlinity admits publicly to abusing copyright law, basically an illegal act that could hold up in a court of law,\u201d PewDiePie said of the matter. \u201cMy videos are 100% protected by fair use.\u201d Kjellberg later dug up a slew of dirt against Alinity, including her use of a racial slur on stream and apparent favors granted by Twitch \u2013 despite potentially breaking the site\u2019s TOS on multiple occasions. #1 \u2013 T-Series While PewDiePie reigned as YouTube\u2019s most subscribed channel for years, Bollywood label T-Series began vying for his top spot in August of 2018, prompting an all-out war between the channels\u2019 fanbases (which was further escalated by his scathing diss track, \u2018Bitch Lasagna\u2019). Although T-Series was projected to surpass PewDiePie in early 2019, Kjellberg managed to fend off his nemesis for near seven-month-long period, thanks to the help of other top YouTubers in the space like MrBeast and Markiplier. That\u2019s not all; PewDiePie even invited political commentator Ben Shapiro and Telsa CEO Elon Musk to host his \u2018Meme Review\u2019 show, which skyrocketed his numbers following their respective appearances. [Timestamp: 13:27 for mobile viewers.] In spite of his efforts, PewDiePie was surpassed by T-Series on March 26, 2019 \u2013 and still hasn\u2019t gotten his top spot back as of March 28. Although he may have lost his crown, PewDiePie continues to reign as YouTube\u2019s top-subscribed, independent creator on the platform \u2013 despite his many controversies and dramatic arguments with other creators on the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
