Minecraft YouTuber Daniel "DanTDM" has finally opened up about the viral feud he had with the likes of JJ "KSI," Jimmy "MrBeast" and Logan Paul following Lunchly's release. For context, in September 2024, DanTDM criticized the ready-to-eat meal box product, highlighting the potential health-related issues children might face.
Following DanTDM's criticism, all three co-owners took to their social media platform to answer back. Despite a torrent of posts, Dan remained silent — until recently. The Minecraft creator was invited to join TommyInnit and Jack Manifold's podcast Shut Up I'm Talking.
During the podcast, he spoke about the beef, seemingly comparing the product (Lunchly) with a past controversy involving Logan. However, for context, here's what TommyInnit said just before Dan:
"Jacksepticeye was one of the first people who posted about the suicide forest (Logan Paul's Japan trip), being like, 'Sorry, I don't think this is any good.' And then it turned into a thing."
DanTDm added:
"Maybe with the Lunchly stuff as well, that's probably a similar thing. It's going too far. You can push it to a point, and Logan should really know, that if you're gonna push something to a point, you're gonna go too far."
Jack Manifold, the other host of Shut Up I'm Talking, added:
"You think, he would've learned but what we've learned consistently is that he doesn't learn much."
What did DanTDM say about Lunchly? Revisiting the drama involving KSI, Logan Paul, and MrBeast
DanTDM was one of the earliest critics of Lunchly, a ready-to-eat meal box brand co-owned by KSI, Logan Paul, and MrBeast. He expressed his disapproval, accusing the trio of launching the brand purely as a money-making venture. He said:
"This is selling stuff for the sake of making money, simple. How does this benefit their fans? This is selling crap to kids who don't know better than to trust the people who are selling it to them."
In response to the criticism, MrBeast defended Lunchly, acknowledging that while it might not be the healthiest option available, it offers a healthier alternative compared to market competitors like Lunchables:
"Eating fresh chicken and broccoli is healthier but if someone is going to eat a pre-made meal like this (which millions of people do through Lunchables) then I think giving them a higher quality version at roughly the same price is a net good."
KSI was arguably the most outspoken of the three creators, making multiple posts and videos addressing DanTDM and his fan base. However, his actions drew significant backlash from the community, criticizing him for handling the situation immaturely.
TommyInnit recently found himself in a feud with both KSI and Logan Paul. The Minecraft streamer criticized KSI for praising Donald Trump after the U.S. President-elect was seen drinking Prime Hydration, the beverage company co-owned by KSI and Logan. Additionally, Tommy called out Logan for promoting Prime during a podcast segment discussing the conflict in Gaza.
