All you need to know about Ajey Nagar aka Carry Minati
If you have been following Twitter trends lately, you must have seen #CarryMinati trend. Wondering who is the person and what's the trend is all about? With cell phones in ou hand and YouTube just a click away, it is almost impossible not to come across any video fo Carry Minati. However, giving a benefit of doubt, here's all that you need to know about Carry Minati if you have been living under a rock. Carry Minati is a popular YouTuber, known for his roast videos. Ajey Nagar fo Faridabad runs his YouTube channel with the name Carry Minati in which he roasts songs and other stuff. Besides comedy, his content has also satirical parodies. Carry began his YouTube channel at the age of 10 but it was during Class 12 board exams when this lad decided to have YouTube as a full-fledged career. He rose to fame with his diss track Bye Pewdiepie.
You can guess the level of his popularity by the fact that Nagar enjoys over 6 million followers on Instagram and over 18 million subscribers on YouTube. Nagar has so far bagged 5 Youtube Creator Awards which include 2 Silver Play Buttons (For CarryMinati and CarryisLive), 2 Golden Play Buttons (CarryMinati and CarryisLive), and 1 Diamond Play Button for CarryMinati.
He recently became talk of the town when one of his roast videos was removed by YouTube. Carry's video, which became the most-viewed video on YouTube ever, was taken down by the streaming platform. Disappointed with the decision, Carry took to his Instagram to share a note. He wrote, "Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was make videos and entertain people and I have given my hopes, dreams, blood, sweat and whole life on the platform.” The video which garnered 70 million views in a week was a sort of rant in which Carry dissed TikTokers particularly, Amir Siddiqui.
What troubled Twitterati was the line in which Nagar comments on Siddiqui saying,"mithai ki dukan mein le jaunga toh 200 mein bik jayega(You will sell for Rs 200 at a sweet shop)." A section of netizens called him bigot and homophobic but clarifying himself, Nagar said that his words are being taken out of context.
The whole fiasco started when TikTok star Amir Siddiqui posted a video to slam YouTubers. In the video, Siddiqui can be seen boasting of the unity among all TikTok users. He also accused the YouTubers of stealing some of the content produced by TikTok users. Siddiqui added that TikTok has attracted more brand deals as compared to YouTube and thus, stereotyping TikTok content as "cringe" was demotivating for its creators.
On May 8, Nagar came up with his reply through a YouTube video. He dissected Siddiqui’s video and slammed him using strong language while pointing out the TikTok star's grammatical errors. He also made fun of Siddiqui's use of hashtags and other "shortcomings".
This YouTube rant by Carry Minati enraged Siddiqui further as he hit back on May 14. Siddiqui said in his reply that he is not against YouTube but cyberbullying. He added that the need of the hour is to call out creators who roast and harass people for their own entertainment. He requested Nagar to take a stand against bullying and ask his fans to abstain from the same.
On March 14, Carry's video was pulled down by YouTube for violating their policy on cyber bullying and harassment.
