Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, popularly known as PewDiePie has hit the 100 million subscribers on YouTube. And fans cannot keep their calm. After marrying his long-time lover and former YouTuber, Marzia Bisognin, PewDiePie’s recent milestone has mind blown his followers. Kjellberg is the only solo content creator, to achieve such a crazy number on the video-sharing platform. What is more surprising is that YouTube came out, for the first time honouring PewDiePie’s landmark that Pewds retweeted. We don’t know what more is in store for the Swedish YouTuber.

PewDiePie is having a crazy time over the last year following an intense race with Indian record label T-Series. As both the channels battled, Kjellberg’s fans put out a rallying cry online to get people to subscribe. Hilarious memes have also flooded on social media sites. All of these have accurately worked for the Swedish YouTuber. T-Series is currently sitting at 109 million subscribers and PewDiePie to 100.

There has been a complicated history between PewDiePie and YouTube. With Kjellberg being the most controversial figure, the company has never really supported him. Notably, in 2017, the company cancelled his YouTube Red Show and even removed him from Google’s preferred advertising. Plus, PewDiePie subscribers do not always get a notification, when the YouTuber comes out with any videos.
Amidst all the controversies, Kjellberg’s recent achievement is remarkable. Apart from T-Series, which hit the mark in May this year, no other YouTube channels have these many subscribers on the video-sharing platform. Meanwhile, PewDiePie has not spoken anything on his recent achievement. Maybe, he is enjoying his good time with his beautiful wife.
