TOKYO, JAPAN: Both PewDiePie and Ninja are well-known content creators on YouTube and Twitch, and they have interacted in the past through pleasant banter and collaborative projects. Following 'Fortnite' player Ninja's spat with some tweets, PewDiePie once asked him to "stop trying so hard."

The YouTuber, who was part of YouTube Rewind 2019, made fun of one of Ninja's tweets in an episode of 'LWIAY' (Last Week I Asked You). "I’ll never understand how college and NFL football teams allow kickers that just…miss…kicks," Ninja had written in the first tweet.

'Get some help'

Ninja tweeted, “I feel like there has to be pools of kickers in the USA that won’t miss simple kicks. Or snappers that won’t mess the snaps idk man it seems so SILLY. Would love opinions on this.” Naturally, people were a little perplexed by his statement. Ninja doubled down when a Twitter user challenged the professional 'Fortnite' player using his argument.



 

“This is the s***tiest reply ever. Fortnite requires movement, editing, building, rotating, and hitting shots. There are not “positions” in Fortnite. A kickers job is to LITERALLY kick. Horrible analogy, kind of embarrassing,” Ninja replied to the user's tweet.

PewDiePie thought the entire situation amusing and said, “Why would it be embarrassing for a random stranger to tweet at you? It’s like he’s projecting what he said is kind of embarrassing onto someone else and he makes no sense at all,” continuing, “Ninja, my man. Come on, stop. Get some help. I think Ninja has potential to be the greatest gamer, don’t get me wrong. But stop trying so hard.”



 

‘I am getting f***ing ROASTED’

Following his remark, Ninja seemed to realize his mistake and tweeted, “One thing I learned today is if im curious and unsure of something, is to never ask for the internets opinion because I am getting f***ing ROASTED.” Later, he made fun of his previous tweets by saying, “I’ll never understand why I have so much wine… like…. there has to be a wine out there that doesn’t give me a hangover… or like.. something that makes me feel better in the morning.. idk it just seems silly. Would love opinions on this.”
