DanTDM Finally Responds to KSI Feud Over Viral Lunchly Criticism

British YouTuber DanTDM has finally addressed his September 2024 feud with fellow influencer KSI over the controversial product Lunchly. The dispute began when Dan criticized Lunchly in a viral post on X, calling it “selling crap to kids who don’t know better.” His blunt critique struck a chord online, with many fans supporting his stance against influencer-driven consumerism.

KSI, one of Lunchly’s co-founders, reacted strongly to the criticism, releasing a 20-minute video defending the product and accusing the public of unfair bias toward himself, Logan Paul, and other high-profile influencers. The tension escalated as KSI repeatedly mentioned DanTDM in interviews, sparking a divisive response among fans.

Dan broke his silence during a November 24th episode of the ‘Shut Up I’m Talking’ podcast, where he revealed why he didn’t engage further. “I couldn’t be bothered to fight,” he admitted, explaining that KSI thrives on back-and-forth conflict, likening it to KSI’s boxing persona. Instead, Dan found humor in staying quiet while the drama unfolded.

Dan also revealed his wife had advised him against escalating the situation, though he acknowledged the controversy “got out of hand.” He concluded with a lighthearted tone, noting that his viral tweet forced some influencers to “self-reflect” on their actions.

While KSI admitted his outrage was a marketing strategy, fans are curious to see if this marks the end of their public feud or if KSI will respond again.
