KSI explains Sidemen beef

A few months ago, Youtube was flooded with drama surrounding The Sidemen and naturally it involved a lot of corny diss tracks, which on a side note seems to be a very popular way of gaining views in 2017.

Anyway, yesterday KSI released a video explaining whether the beef was actually real or not. In short, the first video was meant to be a bit of a joke, but then the rest of The Sidemen jumped on board and it got more serious...albeit was never anything major.

So, the cynic in us thinks it was a ploy to gain views and Youtube cash which perhaps went on a bit longer than was originally planned. As KSI joked in the beginning of the video, his diss songs gained tens of millions of views, as did the other Sidemen. We have spoken about this before on this blog regarding Ricegum; that Youtube diss songs can easily gain tens of millions of views per video - and it seems that this is the case here.

As of right now, the 'beef' has stopped (if you could ever actually call it that) and probably won't happen again, but in the meantime the videos have all done very well commercially and will continue to sit at get views, making people like KSI even more money whilst his fans wait for the next over-the-top style video he releases.
To clarify, the beef was not ever truly serious but did evolve into something which possibly did get more personal than originally intended, whilst succeeding in gaining both KSI and The Sidemen masses of views. Once again, there are no losers it seems in the land of Youtube diss songs. Hopefully this 'saga' is over and is confined to the depths of Youtube history.

Martinez twins quit Team 10 and say 'F*** you' to Jake Paul

For the past few months there has been constant speculation and rumours based around the Team 10 house, so much so that some of the stories have been covered already on this blog.

Well, yesterday it seems that some of those rumours may in fact be true, as The Martinez twins decided to quit the house and told Jake Paul "F*** you' in their video. Here they claimed that he basically turned into an asshole who bullied them and caused their lives great misery and annoyance whilst living with him.
In particular, they seemed most annoyed at him waking them up, which he did on several occasions to form prank videos. Some of these pranks looked stupid and harsh at the time, and it looks like the twins agreed.

Not only this, but they also said that he often laughed at them behind their backs and they also promised another video shortly which would highlight his bad behaviour in more detail.

Going back to the original rumours, one story was that Jake Paul got most of the Team 10 money and that the house mates weren't as close as the Youtube videos portrayed. In this case, the rumours look likely to have been true. Stay tuned for the follow up video which will probably be more in depth and will once again show Jake Paul to be one of the least likeable characters on Youtube.

Boyinaband Trolls Youtube in 'apology' video...spoiler inside

So, last month we covered the iDubbbz Content Cop vs Ricegum which ended with a semi-ironic diss song, similar to those which Ricegum often uses to gain Youtube views.

In this song, iDubbbz admitted that it was created by Youtuber 'Boyinaband' who is well known within the industry for his creativity.
Anyway, yesterday he uploaded a video called 'Apology for the diss track (I went to his house) which insinuated that Boyinaband had apologised to Ricegum. The video begins with Boyinaband quite seriously talking about how he felt the beef had created too many negative reactions.

Anyway, skip towards the end of the video and the twist is revealed. Instead of Ricegum, the Youtube personality he meets is actually Casey Neistat (who unlike Ricegum is somewhat likeable). Here they talk about the line in the Ricegum diss song where Boyinaband mentions Neistat's 'nice tats' in a reference to his nice tattoos. The video ends in comedic fashion with Neistat tattoo'ing a 'subscribe' message on Boyinabands back.

Although this video is under 5 minutes long, it shows the playful side to Youtube, laughing at clickbait headlines and that Youtube personalities can actually get a long. That and the fact it nearly has 3.5 million views already shows how Boyinaband is quickly becoming a very likeable Youtube personality.

Logan Paul shows off new Maverick house...and it's massive.

This post is a little different from the usual, as there is little drama to be found here.
Instead, it is a chance to highlight the mega-success of Youtube star Logan Paul, and his new Maverick house/mansion. The video resembles something from MTV Cribs as Paul shows off his fancy sports cars, large garden, swimming pool, foyer and lift...amongst other things he also lists his future ambitions of housing exotic pets on his grounds - a move made famous in the film Scarface, which flashes extravagance throughout.

Overall, although this video maybe very vain and contrived it does also serve us a reminder of just how lucrative Youtube money can be. Obviously, Logan Paul is at the high-end of Youtube earnings and he may be some peoples least favourite douche bag, but nonetheless it is still impressive on a business level - and a quick estimation would put the house at anywhere from $2-8 million, proving the cash that he is pulling in right now is no joke.

At the same time, one does wonder whether the constant click-bait and dumbed down videos are truly worth it, as dignity is something which money can not be bought.

Check out the video for yourselves.

iDubbbz, Content Deputy vs Ricegum

So, after our last story about Ricegum getting a Content Cop video critique from iDubbbz, quite a lot has happened.

The original iDubbbz video got wrongly taken down from Youtube, and put back up again, whilst Ricegum did his own response video to iDubbbz, trying to justify some of his behaviour, whilst also poking criticism towards iDubbbz.

In short, he claimed that some of his old humour, previously highlighted by iDubbbz was in the past, that iDubbbz used the 'N' word too much and that iDubbbz should have criticised PewDiePie.

All of these points are looked over in the new Content Deputy video, where once again iDubbbz picks apart Ricegum piece by piece in what is promised to be his last video on the subject.

Once again, it seems that Ricegum misses several key points and tries to make arguments which are based on very little, so iDubbbz quite easily wins this one.

Watch the video above.

Ricegum responds to iDubbbz content cop...albeit tamely

Three days ago, iDubbbz dropped a Content Cop video on Youtube sensation Ricegum - here he criticized a lot about him, which has already been covered in our post about the subject.

Well, yesterday saw Ricegum respond, albeit the response was very tame with all things considered. In a video barely over 2 minutes in length, Ricegum seemed to brush off the issues and was attempting to play it cool - whilst having sly digs at iDubbbz, saying it took months of research (although, is this really an insult?).

Anyway, Ricegum concluded by saying he will be uploading a proper response video in the next few days. Of course, the video has already amassed nearly 5 million views which for a 2 minute video with little editing, must be adding nicely to Ricegum's bank account. Again, we covered this in the original post, but don't be surprised to see him put out a few videos on this, amounting to many, many views and money in return, as this is probably what Ricegum was after. Any publicity is good publicity, right?

In the mean time, Ricegum yet again showed his vanity when his friend in the video shoots a money-printing, Supreme-branded gun at him...whether this was ironic or not is unknown based on the past antics of Ricegum and his inability to spot irony. Stay posted for more updates, this one is only just getting started.

iDubbbz Content Cop Vs Ricegum released

Around one year ago, controversial Youtube personality Ricegum made a video, stating that he felt that at some point, content critique iDubbbz would make a video on him.

Today, that prediction came true in grand fashion as iDubbbz did his first Content Cop in a while, which roasted Ricegum in true iDubbbz fashion.
For those out of the loop, Ricegum's Youtube mainly consists of high-end fashion (of which iDubbbz claims he was showing off, due to insecurity), call-outs and cheesy diss-songs (think Jake Paul, Jacob Sartorious etc...and the rest of the usual characters which will generate views).

Anyway, Ricegum predicted that iDubbbz would go after his previous high-school photos for embarrassment, but that would have been too easy.
In the 30 minute clip, iDubbbz attacked Ricegum based on his hypocrisy in regards to evading peoples privacy, his 'flexing' nature which belittled homeless people, his cheesy rap songs and most of all his ridiculous ego. For instance, Ricegum genuinely thought he was good at music, whereas the clips in the video prove otherwise. Another example shows Ricegum calling out Youtuber's for bragging about views...whilst un-ironically bragging about his own superior views. You get the point, and over the 30 minutes it becomes more clear that Ricegum seems fairly soulless, deluded and genuinely unaware of his situation.

Check the video out now, and wait for the obligatory response from Ricegum who will no doubt use this as a chance to further enhance his reputation with a reply at some point.
