On August 7 and 8, 2015, he put out his Extended Play ‘The Rap of All Trades’ on SoundCloud and iTunes. Initially, it didn’t receive much attention. Following the reaction controversy, he thought it would be a good idea to make music videos of some of the songs from the EP. But it ended up attracting a fresh wave of criticism.

Controversies & Scandals

Following the success of him and his brother as reactors, a lot of other channels decided to emulate them. By late 2015, there were thousands of reaction channels on YouTube.

Some of the top YouTube stars, including Pewdiepie, Doctor Ian Mantis Toboggan, I Hate Everything, DramaAlert, GradeAUnderA, LeafyIsHere, and JacksFilms, spoke out, criticizing him and his ilk. They felt that they were not adding any creative value to the video when they were reacting to them. Facing such widespread criticism, he tried to defend himself in a video titled ‘Message to YouTubers, but it ended up only aggravating the situation.

Eventually, he announced that he was quitting doing reaction videos for good. After he released the music videos of three tracks from his EP ‘The Rap of All Trades, he was accused of illegal sampling after using the copyrighted material of another person in his music without giving the original creator due credit.

All the songs were taken down either by DMCA or him. Universal, which represented some of the original artists, launched a formal DMCA complaint against him, and the tracks were subsequently removed from SoundCloud as well.
