Daniel Keem, better known online as Keemstar, is an American YouTuber, podcaster, and streamer. He is well known for hosting the popular YouTube drama news show DramaAlert.
Keemstar is no stranger to squabbles. Since he joined YouTube and Twitter, people have questioned his point of view and ideas. After being in a relationship with a 20-year-old, he just found himself in hot water.
Relationship Status
The YouTuber had been in a long-term relationship with Mia, his daughter’s mother. Regrettably, they split up earlier this year. It’s unclear whether the couple was engaged or married.
Keemstar went back on the dating scene soon after the breakup. Keemstar posted a photo of himself and his new girlfriend on his Instagram account on August 5, 2021.
He seemed to want to keep his connection and girlfriend out of the spotlight at first. In the August 4, 2021, episode of his podcast, Mom’s Basement, he boasted that he was dating a 20-year-old. When Keemstar ran into her at a meet-and-greet, he claims she was escorted by a partner. However, because the pair was 19 years apart in age, many people thought the relationship was problematic.
The age of consent in New York City, where Keemstar lives, is 17. So, despite the fact that the girl is 18 and may be with whom she wants, the public did not accept Keemstar dating her. As a result, he was met with a barrage of criticism. On August 7, 2021, Keemstar addressed the situation, claiming that only his “enemies” and “unattractive girls” were bothered by the age gap.
Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas, both YouTubers, have called him out for his dysfunctional relationship. Paytas posted a few of videos to their YouTube channel, while Klein covered it in H3 After Dark #46 of his podcast. He was described as a “39-year-old predator” who was “preying on a little girl” by Klein. Keemstar was also “dating a youngster,” he said. YouTube removed the video and suspended Klein’s channel for a week due to its policies.
Breakup of Keemstar
Keemstar confirmed his breakup with the 20-year-old on Twitter less than a month after publicly revealing their love. “Nothing lasts forever,” he continued, and things like this happen. He said the breakup was “wonderful news” and that he was “now taking applications” for a new partner. He sent out a series of humorous tweets claiming that he needs the internet’s approval to date someone.
He also shared a screenshot of a woman’s DM, in which the woman supplied her donor ID in response to Keemstar’s request for one. Paytas cited the tweet and chastised him, claiming that the woman was too young for him.
In response, Keemstar shaded them, claiming that they were fine with his prior girlfriend. When Paytas was dating the 20-year-old, he repeatedly called out the DramaAlert host. They claimed they’d go to Mom’s Basement to confront Keemstar about his relationship with a young woman. When they came on the podcast, though, they never mentioned him.
Instead, when they realized Keemstar’s girlfriend was in the same room as them, they backed him up. Paytas answered by adding that they were only being respectful when he called them out on it.
They went on to say that they had never been a fan of the relationship. When Keemstar replied that he would get Paytas’ permission before becoming intimate with someone else, he had the last laugh. After then, Paytas did not respond to Keemstar.
