About

Keemstar Racial Slur Controversy refers to YouTuber Keemstar using racial slurs during a livestream when trash talking a moderator named Alex. The phrase is usually brought up to mock Keemstar, and has been featured in many "Keemstar Exposed" and Keemstar related videos.

History

In 2009, Keemstar was a moderator on Battlecam.com, a site in which streamers battle for the top spot, and often trash talk other streamers in order to remain at the top. During this, Keemstar came into conflict with another moderator called Alex, who allegedly called Keemstar a "Wop" and "Dago" (Italian racial slurs). In response, Keemstar went on a BlogTV stream and called Alex the nword and preceded to ask everyone to refer to Alex as the racial slur in the chat. Keemstar later attempted to bring context to the video, which gained 200,000 views, and 11,000 dislikes.

Spread

The video was posted shortly after, and has resurfaced many times, often used in order in videos exposing Keemstar, using it to portray him as a racist. On January the 11th 2016 popular YouTube commentator NFKRZ who was feuding with Keemstar posted a video titled "FALL OF KEEMSTAR" using a clip from the video. Many other large YouTubers, usually criticising Keemstar have since used the clip including iDubbbz, LeafyIsHere and GradeAUnderA.
