While the very much publicized feud between YouTube siblings Deji and KSI looks to be over and done, Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem has shared a theory on just why the feud might have ended.
Deji and KSI had been fighting for the better part of a month when things came to a head on Christmas morning with a fiery back and forth on Twitter.
The pair has since pledged to squash their beef in the hopes of getting back to normalcy, but KEEMSTAR seems to think it’s possible that Deji had other reasons for wanting to end the beef.
In a Tweet posted hours after Deji had uploaded a video apologizing for his part of the feud, KEEMSTAR looked towards Deji’s plummeting subscriber count as the main reason for the change of heart.
“It seems like Deji wanted to squash the beef with KSI [because] he was losing subs bad,” KEEMSTAR said along with a screenshot of Deji’s subscriber numbers.

After someone told KEEMSTAR to stick to the facts instead of making broad assumptions, KEEMSTAR quickly doubled down on the theory with more facts to support it.
“Deji has not backed down [or] tried to resolve things with his brother until he starting losing subs,” KEEMSTAR stated to the Twitter user.
Ok here’s the facts. Deji has not backed down & not tried to resolve things with his brother until he started losing subs. fact https://t.co/xZ4lonGC27

Whatever the real reason for the end of the feud was, it truly looks to be over and done with as the pair has not interacted on social media since December 25.
With KSI set to have a boxing rematch with Logan Paul in 2019, time will tell if they will get to a point where Deji stands by his brother’s side during the fight.
