"Sh*tty and immature response" - KSI receives backlash after he calls DanTDM a "hypocrite" amid the Lunchly controversy

YouTube streamer JJ "KSI" is currently in a feud with DanTDM, the popular Minecraft creator. For context, earlier this month (September), DanTDM criticized Lunchly (a pre-cooked box meal launched by KSI, Logan Paul, and Jimmy "MrBeast). Since then, KSI has made a couple of X posts and yesterday (September 22) responded to the criticism against their project.

In his response, KSI claimed that DanTDM is not that different from themselves (since he has previously engaged in sponsorship deals involving other food products). He later labeled Dan a "hypocrite."

Fans, however, haven't been the biggest fan of JJ's response. One stated:

"What a sh*tty and immature response," said @TunciB

One user called out JJ, comparing his reaction to "immature kids." The user wrote:

"KSI is a grown man. I understand plenty of time, money, energy, and commitment goes into making a business like this, but not only should he and the others be putting more thought into what is IN these things, but also they shouldn’t act like immature kids when given criticism, " said @v_virtuous_v

Another fan criticized the contents inside PRIME (a drink company owned by KSI and Logan):

"'But but but it has more electrolytes' - they’re not good electrolytes and more doesn’t equal better," said @kawhi_ring

Another wrote:

"There is a reason he acts childish in his videos he needs to sell his audience," said @LilKittyZoey

"They didn't know how to react" - KSI responds to DanTDM fans targeting him online

KSI has been quite vocal following the recent critical post made by DanTDM regarding Lunchly. DanTDM has a dedicated fan base that has been defending him online against JJ's comments.

In his latest YouTube video, JJ responded to DanTDM's fans by pointing out that Dan himself has had a sponsorship deal with MunchPak. Commenting on this, he said:

"He was sponsored, then promoted, and made a whole video on MunchPak, a monthly sub-box full of food and candy to his Minecraft audience full of kids. Now what? At this point, his fans imploded. Self-combustion occurred. They didn't know how to react."

He further stated that DanTDM is similar to what he, Logan, and Jimmy are:

"His audience just didn't know what to do. They couldn't fathom the idea that their beloved Dan was also exactly what he claimed that we were."

Despite the numerous responses from all three of Lunchly's owners - JJ, Logan Paul, and MrBeast, DanTDM has not yet addressed the controversy since his initial post.
