About “Bitch Lasagna”

PewDiePie used to be YouTube’s most subscribed user. However, during 2017 the YouTube channel T-Series began gaining subscribers quickly and was predicted to soon surpass PewDiePie. As a result PewDiePie began making memes to bolster his own subscriber growth, culminating on October 5th, 2018 with the release of “Bitch Lasagna” onto YouTube, Spotify, and iTunes, as a challenge to T-Series.

“Bitch Lasagna” could have been inspired by artist Hovey Benjamin’s song titled “Send Bobs”, which was released in 2017. In the song Hovey says, “Send me naked pic, hello bitch lasagna” as well as using the terms “bobs” and “vegana” throughout the song. Additionally, Hovey also raps about kissing bobs. All three terms and phrases are used by PewDiePie in “Bitch Lasagna”. PewDiePie had also previously reacted to Hovey Benjamin’s song briefly in a video published on his channel on October 28th, 2017 titled “YOU LAUGH YOU LOSE – YLYL #0009”, proving that PewDiePie knew of “Send Bobs'” existence.

It should be noted though, that Hovey Benjamin drew inspiration for his song from the /r/indianpeoplefacebook subreddit, and PewDiePie made a video on the same subreddit on January 22nd, 2018 titled “‘show bobs and vegana’ /r/indianpeoplefacebook/ #3 [REDDIT REVIEW]”. This means PewDiePie could have been inspired to make “Bitch Lasagna” by the subreddit and not “Send Bobs”.

“Bitch Lasagna” is PewDiePie’s most viewed video as of 2019, having amassed over 200 million views.
