Streamer Johnny Somali threatened to sue Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg in the wake of PewDiePie calling out him and other YouTubers for ruining Japan.

In his most recent YouTube upload, PewDiePie asserts that YouTubers are ruining Japan. He shows a compilation of how this is happening and by the end of the video he addresses streamer Johnny Somali’s antics in Japan.
PewDiePie notes, “The last guy everyone’s talked about: this f***ing idiot. We’ll just blur him and not talk about him, but it’s still worth seeing the footage because he’s such a f***ing idiot. All you need to know is that he’s a Kick streamer. That should tell you everything.”
As he goes through a number of Johnny Somali’s videos, PewDiePie states, “They kicked him out. Japan has 99% conviction rate. That’s the thing. Japan is nice, but if you f**k around, you’re done.”
In one of the clips, Johnny Somali states, “They’re acting like I’m a terrorist or something.” PewDiePie reacts saying, “There you go. They said it. He is an actual terrorist.”
PewDiePie then mocked, “But he’s been yelling Fukushima, Nagasaki, we will do it again. And it was like, ‘I can’t believe they actually treat me like I’m a terrorist. How can they possibly? Anyway bomb Japan.’ So he got arrested. Now, he got deported. I don’t know if he’s banned for life or anything like that, but I think it would be really difficult for him to enter again, which is good. Get him out.”

Johnny Somali responded from his now-suspended account X writing, “He ain’t my OG, the new generation we run this s**t now. Buddy needs to shut the f**k up and retire. Racist against blacks, and a antisemite! This hypocrite has no room to even discuss me, especially with misinformation and lies!”
In a subsequent post he threatened to sue PewDiePie, “1. I was never charged for Trespassing in Osaka, Japan. 2. I am not permanently banned from Japan, I CAN, and WILL return in the future. 3. He called me a ‘terrorist’ very interesting use of language that could be racially motivated. Definitely Defamatory, and considered slander, and libel.”
“See you in court FELIX,” he concluded.
According to Dexerto, Somali was “arrested for trespassing in a construction site, and once again for ‘forcible obstruction of business’ of a restaurant in Osaka’s Chuo Ward in October after streaming in the eatery and playing loud music.”
He was eventually fined $1400, but the trespassing charges against him were dropped. It’s unclear if he was officially deported from Japan. Dexerto notes, “No official reports about the situation from Japanese news outlets have stated that he is facing deportation from the country, despite claims being made online.”
