Jiedel Weighs In on 2HYPE Allegations, LosPollos Claps Back on Twitter

Jiedel Responds to Mopi Departure

In the wake of Mopi announcing his departure from the creator group 2HYPE, James “Jiedel” Riedel responded to many of the allegations levied against the group by the Internet. Mopi is not the first YouTuber to have a falling out with the group, leading to many fans speculating on 2HYPE’s toxicity. Here is what the 25-year-old creator had to say:

Old house – I never spent my day laying in bed, I edited all of my videos up until January of ‘19 and even then was still editing some. To say we didn’t put in effort is disingenuous. I got myself sick from stress editing and posting 29/30 days June of 18.

The deal referenced for this was an individual deal with everyone that we all negotiated independently of one another, again this doesn’t even make sense.

— Jiedel (@jiedel) December 15, 2020

Falling outs with old members was due to them not showing initiative to appear in videos. Us wanting to take YouTube more seriously is not an indictment on anybody’s character nor is wanting to keep it more relaxed, but, having both stresses out people wanting to go the mile.

Anyone who has watched 2HYPE’s videos knows that James is a very logical person. Here he attempts to systematically address each of the negative allegations against the group. He denies that they are hungry for money and claims falling outs with old members were due to differences in initiative. This Twitter thread was liked by 2HYPE members Zack and Cash. However, it opened the door for former 2HYPE affiliates to respond with their own opinion.

LosPollos, TDPresents, and Walker Clap Back

2HYPE has split with other creators in the past, including LosPollosTV, TDPresents, and ThatWalker. These departures stirred up their own drama. When fans brought up the old members to James, he denied the reasons for the fissure:

Completely untrue. My 10 game challenge video with him he flaked on me for weeks. We always put in the group chat when we were filming and he never decided to come down to join us.

As for the money, that literally doesn’t make sense. How does that benefit us financially? Doesn’t

— Jiedel (@jiedel) December 15, 2020

So when he moved 20 minutes away and we invited him to film, I wanted to setup weekly rebuild filming with him, and he constantly flaked we’re the assholes?

Again how do we benefit from being adversarial to anybody. We don’t.

— Jiedel (@jiedel) December 15, 2020

That’s just completely false, that’s not what happened.

I’m going to leave it at that because I’m not going to air dirty laundry out there.

— Jiedel (@jiedel) December 15, 2020

Here, Jiedel claims that the splits with other creators happened because they flaked on video obligations to the group. LosPollosTV responded to these accusations with his own perspective on the situation:

And which one is it for TD? It’s personal? Or he didn’t show up for vids? The story keeps changing… Just stop fucking lying

— Los 🍇 (@LosPollosTV) December 15, 2020

Los completely contradicts James’ assertions, defending fellow creator TDPresents in the process. 2HYPE apparently FaceTimed Los to kick him out of the group, citing “business reasons” for the split. Associated creator ThatWalker posted a GIF in response to the resurfacing drama.

— Walker (@ThatWalkerYT) December 15, 2020

A fan commented on Los’ thread, suggesting that 2HYPE is way more successful than the creators who left the group. This prompted reactions from both Los and TD, where they showed off their current living situation.

You right… This fucking sucks. https://t.co/0U6WJRbF8a pic.twitter.com/jd9cRT7tvK

We’re down bad bro 😭 https://t.co/AedeuC6ksz pic.twitter.com/94nvtn9m8K

— TD (@TDPresentsYT) December 15, 2020

It’s worth noting that Walker’s GIF, Los’ response to James, and TD’s video were all liked by Mopi on Twitter. Evidently, he shares a common perspective with 2HYPE’s other ex-members. Mopi has not revealed any details behind his withdrawal from 2HYPE, but with the drama heating up, more details should be available soon.
