Keemstar Drama

The drama
On June 13th 2016 Leafy uploaded the video "THE KEEMSTAR AND DRAMAALERT RANT", where he said that Keemstar was threatening to release people's information, was falsely accusing people of being pedophiles, was invading other people's privacy, revealing peoples faces without asking and was being a hypocrite. Before Leafy uploaded the video Keemstar told him that if he uploaded the video or made a tweet about the claims he would post screenshots of him and Leafy's DM's. Leafy was then hacked by a group called PoodleCorp, resulting in all of Leafys video titles to be replaced with "hacked by twitter.com/poodlecorp".

A couple months after this Leafy was accused of sub botting three separate times. The first time was when him and Colossal is Crazy's subscriber counts suddenly spiked on Social Blade but it turned out to be a glitch. The second time was when a YouTuber called Ecy said they had evidence of Leafy having an account on a sub botting website and was using it which Keemstar then reported on Drama Alert. Luckily Leafy proved the YouTubers claims where fake and Keemstar reported it being fake on his next episode. The third time was when a minecraft hacker group called "OurMine" claimed they hacked into Leafys old Gmail account and saw that Leafy made a shorter link to a sub botting website back in 2013, of course Leafy denied this. Keemstar then reported on the issue. He said he wasn't accusing Leafy of sub botting but claimed that him and Leafy where on a Skype call together and Keem asked for advice on how to get more viewers, with Leafy apparently responding with "Well you can bot the likes". Leafy then replied to the claims saying they weren't true and the call between him and Keem never even happened.

When Leafys ex animator HeyWatchYourMouth made his video claiming Leafy was paying him too little ($50 for each animation) he also added on that Leafy and GradeAUnderA where friends with Keemstar but had backstabbed him at one point and Leafy started loosing subscribers at a crazy rate because of it. In October 2017, Colossal is Crazy and Tommy C STFP brought Keemstar and Leafy on an episode of The baited podcast. Whilt on the podcast 5 arguments took place with Keem winning all of them and Leafy only winning one (which was a tie) wich caused Leafy to get even more hate. The drama ended when Leafy announced that he would be taking a break from YouTube (which ended up being nearly 4 years long).

Admitting the drama was fake
This confirmed for the first time nearly a year and a half after the drama on episode 3 of the Mom's Basement Podcast. At 13:45 Keemstar brought up the drama and asked Leafy why him and Grade attacked him. Leafy replies, "...AdSense was at an all-time high, but... and I can only speak for myself, obviously," admitting that he did it for money. The drama was brought up yet again in a YouTube video by Leafy called THE KEEMSTAR RANT. In it he answers the question, "If your friends with Keemstar why did you have that drama?" with simpily, "Money". The drama was brought up a final time in August 2020 when Leafy was interviewing Keemstar on an episode of his Twitch series "The Leafy Show". Because he had ran out of questions to ask he let the viewers submit questions via the Twitch chat. One of them had mentioned the drama and Leafy and Keem then responded by saying that the drama was staged as to bring Leafy's viewers to Keem's channel and Keem's to Leafy's. Whether Grade was involved in this as well is still unknown.
