Why was PewDiePie 'treated like a terrorist'? Former YouTuber king shares worst flight experience

TOKYO, JAPAN: Although currently, PewDiePie has taken a temporary break from YouTube, he's never been too far from the limelight.

'They treated me like I was a f*cking terrorist'

In the middle of the conversation during video recording, Felix Kjellberg aka PewDiePie, revealed that his worst flight experience happened while he was trying to fly back home from Malaysia. He said, "We were on the flight, Two hours pass and I’m like, 'Why have we not left yet? What’s going on here?' Then all of a sudden they take us out and they’re like, ‘Sorry, no more flight today.’”

The YouTube star with over 111 million subscribers told that when they were ordered to get off the plane, it was 2 am. He added that all the hotels they searched were already fully occupied, so they were left with no choice but to spend the night in the airport lobby. Also, the nightmare apparently did not end there. “On that flight as well, they treated me like I was a f*cking terrorist,” he added. “Because I had those giant-ass portable batteries," he concluded explaining why he drew unwanted scrutiny.

As soon as the clip went viral, fans reacted to it. On Reddit a user wrote, "Kinda relate Imao. Was once stuck in KLIA cause my MAS flight got delayed for like 7 hours and had to sleep in a lounge with the loudest TV ever." The second user wrote, "Malaysia - First class facilities, third class mentality. That's the norm here." The third user wrote, "KLIA's so sad. Hope they upgrade it." While the fourth user wrote, He had a bad day here. That happens. He's venting on his platform. That's okay. But... really? Shouldn't all these be directed to whatever airline customer service and such?"
