YouTube prankster and Beta Squad member Niko Omilana took a troll-worthy shot at fellow Beta Squad member Sharmarke "Sharky" after the latter's hot take regarding Manchester United's new signing Leny Yoro (signed from LOSC Lille). For context, Yoro is considered one of the top talents in Europe right now. However, Sharky wasn't too optimistic about the deal, suggesting that Yoro would use United as a 'stepping stone.'
Niko Omilana, for those unaware, is a lifelong Man United fan, and listening to his friend taking shots at his team provoked a banter-worthy response from the YouTuber. He clapped back by stating:
"This is why the Beta Squad are on a break. I couldn't deal with the delusional arsenal fans."
For those wondering what Sharky said, he gave a rather critical response to Yoro's transfer. This was possibly because he is an avid Arsenal fan. The YouTuber said (during a recent SDS Podcast episode on YouTube):
"I don't think Man United aren't a final destination club anymore. Which is facts. I look at Leny Yoro, and he's an extreme talent. He's a great talent...Obviously he's French and French players don't care whether they are playing in the Premier League or not. (They) look at Spanish teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona."
Is the UK YouTube group Beta Squad on a break?
Those who have closely followed Beta Squad, one of the UK's biggest YouTube groups (9.95 million subscribers), will know that the group recently announced they are taking a sabbatical from content creation.
Toward the end of their latest YouTube upload, the group addressed their fans and revealed that they felt "burnt out" and wished to take a break from content creation for the time being. Kenny "KingKennyTV" said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no trailer this week. Unfortunately, we are gonna be taking a break. It's needed. I feel like we're burnt out the ideas."

He added that they want to review the quality of their videos:
"We feel like the break is needed 'cause you know, we need to take a step back, to work out the way to improve the quality of the videos."
The members themselves are not taking a break, however. For instance, Niko Omilana recently filmed a video after his remarkable run as a candidate in the UK Prime Minister election. The YouTuber even secured 160 votes in his constituency.
