Famous vlogger and one-time King of YouTube Felix Kjellberg a.k.a. PewDiePie, who recently became the first individual YouTuber to reach 100 million subscribers, has paid tribute to Dillon Henderson, a social media personality known as "Dillon the Hacker" who was described as Pewds’ "arch-enemy" by the Daily Mirror.
According to the newspaper, rumors of Henderson’s death, which allegedly took place last month, started circulating earlier in August but many fans regarded them as a hoax, until PewDiePie appeared to confirm them.
"Such sad news to hear about his passing. My condolences to his family and close ones. RIP Dillon", Kjellberg wrote, describing Henderson as a "talented young comedian" who once managed to successfully troll Pewds’ "entire audience".
Dillon the hacker was such a talented young comedian. He succesfully trolled my entire audience at one point. Such sad news to hear about his passing. My condolences to his family and close ones.
