YouTube sensation PewDiePie quits YouTube & this time 'it's real'

YouTube superstar Felix Kjellberg, popularly known as PewDiePie announced a break from YouTube. In his last uploaded video, Felix shared his decision of indefinite hiatus to his fans. 

The video was uploaded on January 15th with the caption ‘It’s been real, but I’m out!’

Pouring himself a drink, the YouTube star announced his exit. "Truth is, I don't want to go on break. Truth is, I love making videos. I just feel like I need to do this," he told his fans in the video.

"I just want to take a moment to give a toast to my 9-year-old. Thank you for watching my videos. It makes me happy. That's it. I don't know when I will be back," he said while concluding the video.

While some fans think he will be back soon, others were disheartened for not able to watch his new videos. 

PewDiePie was the most subscribed YouTube channel for six years and was dethroned by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series in 2019. He was taken back with the defeat and ended up in controversies for blaming the music label for selling pirated songs.

T-Series vs PewDiePie was one of the most talked-about battle in the video world. 

At present, his channel has over 102 million subscribers.
