The long battle between one of YouTube’s biggest stars – PewDiePie and one of India’s biggest record companies – T-Series, took a dramatic shift earlier this past week – as the music giant dethroned the infamous YouTuber from his long-held title for the ‘most subscribed channel.’
Although the “victory” didn’t last long, as ‘at present’, PewDiePie fans have yet again claimed back the title, taking the Swedish YouTuber back to #1, but it wasn’t until, Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg – the face that runs the channel released a racially insensitive, cheesy, diss track taking a dig at the music company and the people of India in general.
The “music video” entitled ‘Congratulations’, attempts to take a jibe at the music channel while also passing some ignorant and racist remarks in the song, like – “Indians are poo-poo in their brains”.
Sitting with two of his accomplices, the video features the trio dissing Indian supporters of ‘Series’, referring to the country’s ‘poverty’ and ‘caste system.’
“India got YouTube figured out…How about next you figure how to fix the caste system… Maybe all those ads will solve your crippling poverty,” he screeches in the cringy track.
