Details of the PewDiePie and KSI Feud
During a recent YouTube livestream, PewDiePie discussed KSI’s music career. A fan prompted the discussion by asking if he had listened to any of KSI’s songs, to which PewDiePie replied, “Listened to KSI’s songs? F**k no!” He further claimed that KSI’s music had a direct impact on the removal of his “greatest video of all time.”
PewDiePie stated, “It all started because of KSI’s f**king music because KSI had to go and have a music career. It’s all his fault.” He criticized KSI for allegedly copyright striking individuals who include his music in their content, asserting that it seems to be a daily routine for him.
In addition to critiquing KSI’s music career, PewDiePie shared his thoughts on his latest song, “Thick of It,” produced by Ran Michael Djan Jr. Despite mixed responses, the song has attracted 11 million views since its release. PewDiePie described the track as “mid” and sounding overly “corporate,” suggesting that it felt like it was created by someone else rather than KSI himself. Furthermore, he speculated that audiences might be growing weary of KSI due to his recent business endeavors, like Lunchly.
Offering advice for KSI’s musical direction, PewDiePie commented, “This is what KSI wants to put out in terms of music. I don’t know. It’s really not that bad. ‘He could make it better.’ I mean, it is pretty good. You know? I actually think it’s not that…”
