At long last, Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg reached 100 million subscribers on YouTube, becoming the first individual creator to do so, and many other big names shared their praise for him.
The race with T-Series may have ended, with the Indian record label beating him to the milestone, but that didn’t stop PewDiePie from marching on towards 100 million subscribers.
He reached the milestone on August 24, shortly after his marriage video was uploaded, and he was almost immediately showered with congratulations as he crossed the mark.
Throughout his time on YouTube, Pewds has made numerous famous friends, and many of his fellow YouTubers chimed in to celebrate the massive achievement.
“I’m honestly so proud that PewDiePie hit 100m subs, he works so hard and is literally one of the kindest YouTubers I’ve ever met,” makeup YouTuber James Charles tweeted.
