After a brief period of silence, DanTDM has finally addressed the one-sided feud with KSI over Lunchly. Earlier, the popular YouTuber made a controversial comment about the ethics of Logan Paul, KSI, and MrBeast‘s newly launched brand. KSI quickly responded by making a video addressing the criticism. Now, DanTDM has shared his thoughts on KSI’s reaction to the Lunchly critique. Here are the details.
DanTDM finally responds to KSI after Lunchly controversy
DanTDM recently appeared on the Shut Up I’m Talking podcast, where he subtly addressed the viral feud with KSI. He acknowledged that his tweet was enough to make an influencer “self-reflect” on their actions.
In addition, TommyInnit referenced JackSepticEye’s call-out of Logan Paul’s Japan incident, which caused controversy in 2017. Dan added, “With the Lunchly stuff, there’s probably a similar thing. I was like, ‘This is going too far. You can push it to a point, and Logan should really know that if you push something to a point, you’re gonna go too far.’”
DanTDM explained that his silence on the issue was intentional. He didn’t want to engage with the ongoing drama, noting that KSI, as a boxer, enjoys the “back and forth” of such conflicts. Dan preferred not to “feed” into the drama, calling it “fun” to simply watch it unfold.
The viral feud began when DanTDM posted a tweet criticizing Lunchly. He expressed his disappointment with influencers who use their platform to sell products to young audiences. He wrote, “This is selling stuff for the sake of making money, simple. How does this benefit their fans? This is selling crap to kids who don’t know better than to trust the people who are selling it to them. Do better.” The tweet quickly went viral.
In response, KSI made a 20-minute video addressing DanTDM’s criticism. KSI claimed that Dan wasn’t facing backlash for his comments but that people simply hated him, Logan Paul, and MrBeast. He later admitted in an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast that he continued the drama as a marketing strategy to promote views for his new single, Thick of It, and the Lunchly brand.
