Keemstar Awarded The Ace Family's Diamond Play Button In Out Of Court Settlement With Austin McBroom Over Unpaid Wages From 2021's 'Social Gloves' Event
Influencer boxing commentator and content creator Keemstar has settled with the Ace Family patriarch Austin McBroom over unpaid fees regarding his involvement in McBroom's 2021 "YouTubers vs. TikTokers" boxing event.
The settlement notably saw Keemstar take home McBroom's Diamond Play Button, an award given to creators by YouTube when they pass the 10 million subscriber mark.
Keemstar posted a video on Twitter earlier today describing the settlement and showing off the button, which gained over 100,000 views in under an hour.
Two years ago, Keemstar hosted a press conference and weigh-in for the 2021 event, hosted by McBroom's company Social Gloves, which has become infamous through stories about McBroom failing to pay those involved.

Keemstar has a history of collecting other creators' Play Buttons. In July 2020, it was reported that Keem bought PewDiePie's Red Diamond Play Button after the YouTuber threw it away following a robbery.
In February 2021, Keem was awarded tattoo artist Romeo Lacoste's Gold Play Button after LaCoste attempted to sue him for defamation. Keem bragged about the win in a TikTok video where he crossed out Lacoste's name on the award and wrote his own.
