PewDiePie caused outrage in India after he released two “racist” songs dissing the country during his rivalry with Indian music channel T-Series as both fought to be the most popular YouTube channel. The Indian High Court ruled YouTube should remove the videos and they were taken down.
“I’ll come to India. I’ll shoot another song there,” PewDiePie joked to Saiman Says amid the snacking. “My redemption song. It’ll be a sad ‘sorry India’ song. Like a ballad.”
