PewDiePie and T-Series have been fighting for a long time to bag the top spot on YouTube. Now, PewDiePie has removed two of his diss tracks against T-Series following a Delhi High Court order.
Delhi HC has ordered the removal of two PewDiePie tracks, namely Congratulations and Bitch Lasagna, Bar and Bench reported. YouTube has also been ordered to see that these videos are not uploaded on the platform again.
T-Series said that the diss tracks contained defamatory remarks against Indians. PewDiePie assured them that he will not upload such videos again, but then went ahead with his song Congratulations, wherein he “congratulates” T-Series on becoming the top YouTube channel while accusing on T-Series selling pirated music at the same time.
The High Court said that the songs have “repeated comments made which are abusive, vulgar and also racist in nature,” according to the report. The next hearing is scheduled to take place on 15 July.
After T-Series came close to PewDiePie’s subscriber count on YouTube, he has started a campaign to retain his position.
