YouTube’s biggest war between online superstar Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg and Bollywood production company T-Series has finally reached its breaking point. Over the weekend, T-Series managed to pull ahead in subscriber count, at one point surpassing Pewds by more than 100,000 subs. In response, the metaphorical white flag was waved and Pewds released his “Congratulations” music video.
The Swedish YouTuber has mentioned multiple times over the past few months that he had created a video for when T-Series became the most subscribed channel on the platform. But the “9-year-old army” (what Kjellberg calls his fan base) just wouldn’t give up and kept subscribing, tightening the sub gap every time it got close. The video features a pair of YouTubers: RoomieOfficial on chorus vocals and Boyinaband who wrote the lyrics. Boyinaband had worked with IDubbbz on his “Asian Jake Paul Content Cop” video, which featured a brief cameo with Kjellberg.
